See the little wading brat in my heading? She’ll be starting school in August. They start when they’re 6 in this country, and she’s started her countdown. 45 days now…
Mum’s started thinking about kitting her out. They all get their first special backpack for free - courtesy of the “Safe Traffic” organization, orange with reflecting trimmings (It’s dark here in the winter - this is to make the little kites more visible), so that’s taken care of. I’ve got her a brand new pink pencil case, with everything in it, and also some cheap pens I found, with pink tassels on them. They produced one happy little girl… Now, we’ll go after some nice outfits. I’ll try to ease her out of her pink stage, but I have a feeling my little princess’ll be all in pink for some time yet.
The teachers all recognized me on the getting-to-know-each-other-day, of course - I’ve had two birth kids in that school, and two step-kids as well. I told them there was one more where this one came from. At least the teachers will know I’m not the grandmother…
