Been Stuck!

Hi all Just got back from being stuck in Europe, and of course what is one of the first things I do, come on here! It's been quite an adventure getting back, won't bore you with the details, but will just say it included taxi, train, car and boat! Although they are saying that flights have re-started that is rubbish because they are all booked up for at least a fortnight so we were stuck without hope of return. Anyway, got to head off for work now for a couple of days, but happy to be home and back on here. Suzie

Oh what a FANTASTIC day at preschool today Forgive me but I just have to shout that a little chap jumped today for the first time this little fellow is four and a half and he has a diverse range of problems/difficulties but my goodness he could give us all a lesson of dealing/facing/coping with the cruel cards life has dealt him. Time and time and time again this chap has done his utmost to join his peers in any activity going. He loves the trampoline but has never yet managed to actually jump, his feet don't leave the trampoline so he kind of bounces but today he 'took off' and I am so thankful i was there to see his face it was utterly priceless and I nea…

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your support and kind words. My niece has finally been discharged from hospital after almost two months due to pneumococcal meningitis and she is making an amazing recovery. She is crawling, laughing and shouting - a lot different from when the doctors told us she had 'substantial brain damage'. It just shows how amazing and resilient children can be

Parents Controlling Their Children!

I have just saved one of our preschoolers from running under a car!! She was at the local school where I was collecting my own daughter, when this little 3 year old ran straight out of the side gate and was only stopped from charging straight into the road by me running up behind her and the headmaster fielding her off from the front. And then mum ambled round the corner, not concerned at all. It seems to me that more and more parents seem to think it is fine to let their young children run on ahead both inside the school grounds and outside on the pavement. Half our parents also seem to let their children run up to the classrooms and bang on the windows with no consid…

Done It!

Well have done it - it's all official and letters went out to parents yesterday. I have handed in my notice after I finally decided to leave my job of 13 years Supervising at Pre School. Time to move on - no job to go to - but hey ho - life seems a whole lot rosier already! However - I will still be around on here as you are all so fantastic and I do so want to finish my degree too. Just waiting now for Mrs O to arrive (it's bound to happen isn't it - I bet Mrs O won't wait until I've gone).
