My purple minion.
Two years have flown by! I remember seeing you first at Thursday group and thinking how cute you were. Then your mum asked me if I had space for you and I couldn't believe my luck.
You settled in straight away. You found favourite toys and things to do independently.
As you've grown you've fostered a real love for maths. I've loved setting out maths provision for you. There's been times where I've thought I've been overly ambitious with what I've set out for you but you've risen to every challenge.
Story times won't be the same without you, saying, "Good Morning." Singing our hello song then you saying, "Today's story/sign is." along with me.
Then muttering something about an elephant. 🤣🤣🤣
Your phrasing is second to none. I love how you speak.
"Oh wow, that's amazing."
"Raaaaspberries."
"Mmmm, maybe something else."
When I'm out and about with you people often say, "Oh, she's a handful." And I say, yeah, but I wouldn't have her any other way, as you go down the slide head first on your back at the park. 🤣
If you can step down from something you jump, if you can sit on something you stand and balance. The whole world is just one big adventure playground to you and I love that you see the magic in everyday and refuse to do things the 'intended' way.
We're going to miss you so much. And I know you'll miss us, especially the raspberries. Maybe I'll get to eat some next year. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not ready for you to go. You will love nursery even if you have to spend the first few weeks getting used to it and accept they may not have raspberries to pick freely at your own desire. 🤣
You'll be passing the baton to your little brother, whom I already love. I know that we are friends forever.
Lots of love Holly
❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭
