This is scary.
In 2 days time madam is 15 and in May she does her work experince at the local lesuire centre and before I know it will be doing exams and leaving school (hopefully going to college).
Where has the time flown?
It doesn't seem that long ago that she was starting school and was the smallest in her class at the time and know she is nearly as tall as me (I am about an inch taller still) but she is bigger in another department.

I know that feeling Sanjan,this time nine years ago my dd was about 12 hours old and now we are thinking that she only has 2 more years at juniors and will be off to senior school.

I know what you mean, my daughter will be 14 in June and she starts senior school in Sept, we have just done her options for which subjects she wants to do. Also my son will be going up to high school at the same time.
Scary aint it??

Yes its very scary!
Especially because (for me at least) I dont feel like I'm older (although the mirror tells a different story!) and my outlook on life has not changed too much as I've grown older, but all these growing up around me is soooo scary!
My son is 13 in May - I cant believe I will be the parent of a teen! And my teensy little baby is 2 at the end of this month ... what happened there?
Help!

Our don't go to senior school until they are 14 (year 10), it's strange how different the school sytems are all over the country. DS is going to high school in Sept and he will be almost 12 (year 7).

I feel exactly the same,i don't feel older either. My little baby is 4 and has just started school full time and my ds is 7 going on 17.

I know what you mean - we have a 7 year old daughter who seems to think that she is 17 too.
