Well it's that time - my littlest baby going to school.  Well she's hardly a baby at well past 5, but she's *my* baby! She's been really looking forward to it for ages, but the nerves were showing last night.  

They were taking the kids in stages on the first day, so Krystal was in at 10:45am, but she was up and dressed early enough to get photos with Kory before he left for school.

As it was quite a nice day, we went into the garden for some photos, she's quite a wee poser when she's in the mood!

Finally it was time to go to school!  We go there to find loads of Krystal's friends in the playground so we got photos of them together, sadly the sun was in their eyes so the results aren't great!

We headed round the back of the school where the infants entrance. We met Kory in the playground as it was playtime.

Us parents got to go in with them for a little bit to see them ok, then got kicked out.  Krystal was no bother at all going in, just said bye and off she went.

And so she' joins the treadmill of life!

Kory & Krystal love books.  A lot!  So world book day was right up their street.  They had to go to school dressed as a character from their favourite book.  Kory chose the spaceman from Moon Mission (one of the books in the Magic Tree House series he loves) and Krystal as a cat from Tabby McTat - one of her favourite books  She has about 10 favourites!!

Thankfully when we got up it was a nice dry day, not overyly sunny, but not raining!  Krystal was in the green team for her sports day and got to carry the flag in to the sports field. 

As with previous years (when Kory was in nursery) the teams do a variety of obstacle courses,kicking balls, balancing objects and running.  There are no winners and no losers, all the teams do well and have fun which is a load of nonsense as life isn't like that!

But they all got a medal at the end and Krystal was chuffed to bits!

And as with every school sports day there's a Mums race and a Dads race.  They struggle to get any mums up there and then announce the Dads one and the men just about climb over one another to get to the start.  check them all rubbing their hands together!

 Well done Krystal (and James!) - roll on Kory's on Friday!

Today my littlest baby started nursery!  Yip, wee Krystal isn't so wee any more.  She took it all in her stride really as she's been going there for 2 years to drop Kory off. 

She did do a wee dance heading across the playground though...

And was excited waiting outsidebefore we went in.  I stayed with her today to do all the form filling, but she wasn't even bothered where I was!  Go Krystal!

In the afternoon, the weather really brightened up and we played in the garden, had ice lollies then went to the park with friends.  A lovely happy day all round.
