Today was Maeve’s last day in the Giraffe creche in the IFSC Dublin. The creche let me state is excellent and I would recommend to anyone. Maeve has gone from a small 7 month old toddler to a confident, brash, smart and totally lovable 4.5 year old little lady under their tutorship who can count and can write her name. Tomorrow she starts the next phase of her life – primary school in Donabate and is something she has been excited about for months. It will mean of course a change in her moms and dads lives to cater for the school location and times (less time in school than was spent in the creche), but it should work out well for everyone concerned.

One big personal thing for me (and re-enforced by her new Passport arriving yesterday) is – where has the last four and a half years gone, and my how she has grown and matured!!!

Still love her and her mom to bits though.
