School started this week for Olivia, or, as she insists, "not school, nursery" - and she seems to be enjoying it so far. It does make her a little more tired & grumpy than before, but I think that will change as she gets used to it. It's the one disadvantage to afternoon nursery - that most kids have better energy levels in the morning, and if they do something which tires them out in the morning, they can nap in the afternoon, but most of them adjust pretty rapidly. And as she gets a little older, it won't be nearly such a problem.

One thing that she has in common with Sarah is that she doesn't seem to be able to remember what she actually did at nursery - must be an age thing, as Sarah is well over that now. But it used to be very frustrating when Sarah came out of school and you'd ask what she did, and she couldn't tell you anything. Some days, there are visual clues, of course, like the days they come home covered in paint, but (luckily) that doesn't always happen.
