- Becca's hair's so tangled I give it a quick trim before school, evening out her fringe where she hacked a clump out of it a few weeks ago. Am very pleased with the results - my technique is definitely improving and the wide, blunt-cut fringe and collar-length bob suit her lovely heart-shaped face and emphasis her big green eyes.
- She walks herself to school for the first time. I follow her slightly disconsolately to our gate, where she turns and says kindly It's OK, Mum, I don't need you any more.
- Leaving Mummy Ducky behind at the library provides the opportunity for a second walk into Jville in the sunshine while M, who won't sleep at home, dozes in the pushchair.
- By some miracle of timing the second return trip coincides with Becca's Jump Jam assembly. Her face lights up when she sees me sneaking in with Maggie and her face glows with pride as she performs. Meanwhile, Maggie is squirming on my lap and hollering Mummy! I see Becca! Wave to Becca! HELLO, BECCA!! as teachers and Other Mums smile benevolently in our direction.
