I had decided not to send Gabi to school in September, I thought I would leave it another year, because she goes to gymnastics every week and story time with a play date afterwards, and pizza with friends, so she is great at playing/sharing/communicating with other kids her age. Gabi is also very sociable and friendly, we do lots of crafts and art at home and she goes everywhere with me so I thought that is enough for her age.
Now I'm on the fence more leaning towards sending her because it's seems most people send them at this age (and although I am not someone who does something just because everyone else does it) and I don't want to deny her this.
Gabi is also with me 24/7, we don't use babysitters it's just us, all of our family on both sides still live in England and there are very few people I would leave her with. So now I'm starting to think I should send her just to give her the chance to get used to being without me for a couple of hours twice a week. I'm sure she will love it!
Wow it's tough to think of sending her off to school it just seems like we came home from Guatemala a few months ago :o)

Jamie went at 3 and Taylor at 2 and a half. Jamie loves it and would go every day including weekends if he could. He is more confident now on the rare occasions when he is left eg when I had to attend my Aunt Lily's funeral. Its hard to let them go but I think we are being selfish if we don't - makes it easier when they go to school also. Its a personal choice though and every child is different.
I'm in the same dilemma. On one hand Ella ASKS to go to school like the bigger kids. On the other hand she is probably my last little one and I am just so sad at the thought of being home without anyone to talk to. Then again, it would only be for 3 hours 2 mornings a week. Hmmm....we shall see.
