We are reaching yet another milestone in our young girls' lives; Emily will be wearing school uniform for the first time in September when she starts at the nursery attached to Rosie's new school. Her feet are still so tiny that she had only one option when we went today to buy school shoes for her from Clarks; a weeny little pair of black leather mary janes. A row was expected, since Emily is particularly contrary when it comes to her personal attire, but she was so excited by the occasion and of course happy to be following her sister in getting big girl shoes that it never materialised. She was overjoyed when we proceeded to the sports shop to buy PE shoes which happen to be her very own favourite type of footwear. We almost had a glitch when she wanted some silver ones but the threat of 'these or none', since the strict uniform policy states white only are allowed, set her back on track to compliance. The next job is to buy the rest of the uniform when we reach Dubai next week and I'm hoping that they'll have one tiny enough for her. The past three years have gone so quickly and I can't believe we're at the point of buying school uniform for BOTH girls even if the youngest is still in size extra, extra small. Perhaps it's time for number 3.....
