What happened to my baby girl?

My eldest girl started school recently. For the first four weeks she was only doing half-days, mornings one week and afternoons the next. This week is her first of full days.

On her first day I took the day off work to take her to school and pick her up. She looked so grown up in her uniform. Very smart shoes, grey skirt, white polo shirt and a cardigan with the school badge on. She also has a bag with the badge on.

It goes so quickly. I remember when she was born she had a touch of jaundice and had to stay in a bili-bed (a UV treatment bed for jaundiced babies) to help her get over it. She was so tiny and helpless. Now she comes home with grazed knees from the playgound and thinks nothing of it.

She still wants lots of cuddles, I wonder how long that'll last.
