Em's first day at school today. She was thrilled to be going, taking that first step into the 'Big' world. I spent the day preparing for an interview that takes place later in the week. A helpful distraction from the quiet of the house. I have my little buddy back with me for the next 2 days then that's it, into the world of school. The pair of us are on the brink of new big things. I don't know whether to laugh or cry or both.
