Today is finally here. The day I’ve been dreading. Evie’s last weekday with us until half term. And my regular morning cuddles watching Cbeebies will be a thing of the past. The last few years have flown by. There are many memories and great moments—like her first crawl to knock over a stack of toy cups.
I gave up work to look after Evie when Mum went back to work after maternity leave. So, I have seen her grow into a wonderful, happy, caring little girl and a pleasure to be with.
My saving grace is Maisie will still be here a couple of days a week, though much of her time will be spent at preschool.
We are taking the girls to Portsmouth today by train—they keep asking to go on a train. They have also asked to take a bus, so we will do that today.
