My word of the week has to be paperwork. As soon as your child starts nursery/preschool you get lots of forms, letters and reply slips to fill in and return. However, when they start school the whole paperwork thing steps up a notch.
Ever since BB started school I have struggled to keep up with all the forms that needed filling in, the dates to remember, the reply slips to go back etc. I have been worried how I will manage when I go from having just one child in school to having three. I am now starting to get the gist of what it’s going to be like.
This week I have been filling in my twins school admission forms, which means completing the same form twice, one for each child. By the second I was already filling it in wrong (got her date of birth wrong, as they are not actually born on the same day, it gets very confusing)! For those who saw my post last week, I have decided to request that they be kept together. I just hope we have made the right decision.
I have also had paperwork for a school trip, a Beavers trip, newsletters from both school and nursery as well as keeping on top of all the usual dates etc and my own blogging paperwork and dates. Having just become a Center Parcs family blogger ambassador, I am just starting to glimpse my blog stepping up a notch, which is a good thing, but I need to get used to it. It’s not easy when you have never been used to deadlines. However, I am really excited about it all!
I think I will get used to all the paperwork, forms and deadlines, I just need to get organised.
How do you manage multiple children at school with all the paperwork and dates etc? What tips do you have?
