James will start preschool in September. This is something that makes me anxious. As the middle child he has a free spirit, to put the description of his character mildly, so confirming to rules and following instructions, I fear, are not his strong suit. So when Little Kickers contacted me about taking James, who will be three next month, to a few weekly classes, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to ease him into the world of education, independence and group play. The fact that he got a kit with a t-shirt and his name on it was just icing on the cake.

I could easily dive into the emotional whirlwind a mother experiences when her firstborn grows up and hits this major milestone but I think I’ll spare you. And me. Because after the week from hell with James and an ear infection all I have to say is this: Georgie is six years old and that is a statement I am so very proud to make.
Months ago, before Georgie turned four, I noticed him kicking a ball around outside. He was playing on his own, muttering to himself, kicking the ball to the wall, sometimes asking Tano, our dog, if he wants to play too. Moments later he came indoors, went to the toilet and emerged with slightly wet hair and pulled-up sleeves.
