I’ve just dropped Miss Frugal off at Brownies for the first time. She was a bit nervous about going and she held my hand extra tight at first. Then her eyes lit up as she saw a little girl she knew and she went running off to play without looking back.
Master Frugal summed it up perfectly – ‘She’s all growed up now mam, isn’t she?’

Has to happen sometime I guess! I remember going off to my first day at school; Mum wanted to hug me but I shook her hand like a little businessman, as I felt "all growed up"!
Aaaaw how sweet x
Awww. It seems five minutes since I saw my little girl off to her first Brownies session, and now she’s nearly eleven. Sob!
I know it's a cliche but I really can't believe how fast she's growing up x
It happens so quick doesn't it? Gorgeous photos x
Aww, Ben is the same at Beavers. It seems like no time since he needed me for everything, and now he's a proper little person. Glad she had a good time though x
I always think that – they're proper little people now lol
Wow, she does look very much the lovely young lady 😀 Jen
She's growing up waaaay to quick though x
