Still a year to go before they start school when they will probably be the oldest in the class. Their September birth puts them at a great advantage when it comes to education and to think that if they had been born just a couple of weeks earlier we would be shopping for school uniforms now.
My boy is now out of nappies - it seemed it would never happen but success was achieved easily when he was just passed his third birthday. But like many he is still in nappies at night - I can't see that changing any time soon.

The Twins Have Started Nursery
It seemed like for ever before they would reach that age of almost 3 and a half and qualify for 15 hours each free at nursery. But that time is here and they have started. 3 full days I can drop them a little after 8am when on the school run but be home again before the rush hour congestion is really under way.
What luxury - a new life, eating my porridge in peace listening to the Today Programme at about 8.30am.
Unfortunately, it seems I (we, that is, husband and me) may have inadvertently upset granny as the twins are at nursery on the afternoons that she used to have them - I hope she does not think that was deliberate. I think she doesn't approve of the choice of nursery either as it is across town not within walking distance. But when I say across town it would be less than 2 miles away and takes 5 (or less) minutes to get there by car.
The decisions we make might not suit other people but we choose this particular nursery and these particular days because we think they are the best for us - my husband and I and the children.
The facilities for children 3+ are far better than at the other local nurseries that we looked at. I was also impressed by the staff on my visit.
I work from home and I am my own boss. A common problem is that other people don't seem to realise I work, and I know I am not the only one with this.
I am not at home doing housework and wondering how to fill my time.
The house is a cobweb filled jumble!
And I have not had enough hours in the week to think about things like painting my toe nails. So getting the extra hours at nursery for a few full days has made a great difference. I always just about reach my business deadline but perhaps now I'll be able to get more on top of things.
