In Germany the kids do seem to go for backpacks and carry a lot of stuff to and fro. Here's Livi modelling her choice of bag:
We did have a good giggle when her Mama sent us this photo.
So thankful for Sarn being Playground Prefect this week - bit of a blip here with the back, sigh. But my eyes and ears are in full working order :)

Oh my gosh, and it has a big black jaguar on the back too! Tell her to be sure and pack a light lunch! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood Heavens! If she fills it up she will fall over backwards. So adorable. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! TOOOOOO CUTE! Don't worry though - she'll grow into that backpack before you know it.
ReplyDeleteLYnn
OMG such a huge bag!!! I would not carry such huge bags at that age
ReplyDeleteHi Di, At least you know she'll be prepared... kids who came to the centre I worked in with huge bags always came with plenty of spare clothes, extra food & water, a juice or two, tissues or wipes and they were all under school-age! Hope you are feeling better...Megan
ReplyDeleteBless her cotton socks, that's such a cute picture. Lovely to have you back with us and hope you're feeling better X
ReplyDeleteThat's a mighty big bag for a little girl Di, but nice to know she is getting prepared
ReplyDeleteDouble drat about the Playground, there were we thinking you would be totally out of the picture this week. Whatever you heard about the tree house activities is all hearsay and nothing more.
Hope the back son bucks it's ideas up and leaves you be.

Awww how sweet Di...I think the backpack is carrying her! Take care of that back and try to keep it moving.Huge hugs, Sarn is keeping an eye on us in the playground but pssss Brenda has a bottle of Prosecco ;0) xx
ReplyDeleteEr . . . don't you mean Brenda HAD a bottle of Prosecco . . . that's long gone . . . although she may have gone out and bought a case of two of it by now! LOL! xxx
DeleteShe looks like she is ready to school. Love how the bag is soooo big for her.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Eemeli
Oh Di that really made me smile [why not link it up over at mine today?]. It remeinded me when my girls did their D of E with their huge back packs...we took pics of them lying on their backs like dying flies at the time lol.
ReplyDeleteReally hope your back improves very soon.
Big hugs,
Annie x
I think she's going to need some wheels for her bag when it's filled up. What a wonderful photo. It did make me smile.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're now having back trouble Di. Hugs, Barbxx
Oh, she is so cute! :D Also in Italy the school bags are too big and heavy for the poor kids...! :(
ReplyDeleteI'm a primary teacher and I make to leave at school all the books and notebooks. The kids bring to home only what is necessary for the assignments, and the notebooks on which they have worked at school that day, to make it see to their parents. I hope that the teacher of your grand doughter will make the same thing!
Hi Di, Hiccup, Hiccup.
ReplyDeleteHow super cute is she.
I bet she is excited to start school soon.
Oh I would hate her to fall over with that as she would never get back up.
That bag is almost as big as she is.LOL.
An ideal size for us playmates to stash our ill gotten gains in.LOL.
So sorry to hear the back is now playing up yet again.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
How cute, but oh my word what a huge bag Di! I'm sure there will be a lot of kids in years to come with back, neck and shoulder problems because of these huge heavy bags they carry about these days. Going back we had desks to keep all our books in and only took home what we needed for homework. Talking about bad backs I hope yours is soon on the mend. x
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Hope you feel better soon sweetie x
ReplyDeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth . . . I was going to comment that the back pack is as big as Livi is! Bless her little cotton socks.
ReplyDeletePlayground more or less under control Miss. Happy to help! Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
wow that IS a big bag bless her heart!Have a good week xx
ReplyDeleteBless her, I think she needs one on the front too for balance. Also reminds me of when my daughter did D of E and the pack was bigger than her. When they lay down they couldn't get up again.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
OMG, how hard it is to be a kid today! Didn't we just carry our books in our arms? I don't even remember having a book bag of any kind! That bag looks ridiculous on her tiny little self and I agree with you ~ how is Livi not going to topple over backwards if she puts anything in it?! Maybe it is meant as a joke photo? Yes, that must be it. I hope your back is doing better soon, Di!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a super large back pack!And books are so heavy. Poor kid. But thinking about the poor mite falling backwards made me giggle although it is not funny if it actually happens...
ReplyDeleteHave a great week with many smiles,
Blessings,
Lisca
LOL! My Gds are the very same way! I worry about their backs and shoulders.....but the back packs are usually full of paper and layers of clothing they remove as the temps get warmer during the day.
ReplyDeletePoor little thing having to carry that great big thing Lol! Hopefully she will have grown a little before September. Have a lovely weekend and happy smiles,
ReplyDeleteAngela xXx
Awww just sooo cute!! hope your feeling better soon Di take care xx
ReplyDeleteOh Di, the photo did make me smile - I think she should be able to fit inside with no problem at all! Get better soon. I do hope Sarn has managed to come out of the cubby hole. Lynn x
ReplyDeleteThe size of that bag made me smile, bless her. They seem all grown up when they start school don't they. Nice to get a bit of practice in first
ReplyDeleteLynn xx
That backpack is huge! Out here the little ones all have a wheelie bag like a child't cabin luggage on a plane, and you can hear them all trundling home on the bricked road after lunch. The poor little things do seem to have to carry a huge amount books and papers every day.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your back. I hope it settles down again soon. Hugs (gentle ones) Kate x
What a super backpack and I'll bet she's already started collecting things to put in it,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your back is playing up again, but don't worry about having to chase us arounf the Playground as Sarn has got us all under control..... honest! xx
LOL, I thought the exact same thing - the backpack is as big as she is. So great that she is getting excited for school. Hope you find some relief soon :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a hoot! That backpack is HUGE! So is the puffball on the top of that hat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous photo and I hope she doesn't fill it to full or she could fall over backwards.
ReplyDeleteHope you back is getting easier now.
Kath x
Wow that is a huge backpack. I am sure she could fit in that one. The sort of size I could do with!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling a bit betterer and that Parsnip has been helping you.
Hugs
xx
What a fun picture; she is so small with such a large backpack! Wishing you the best and a wonderful weekend, Pat
ReplyDeleteThat is one BIG backpack. Can you imagine her lugging that home full of books --- yikes! :)
ReplyDeleteHope your back is feeling better soon Di! Sending hugs! xx
Hello Di,
ReplyDeleteOh the thought of her overloading the backpack! At least it will be a cushion of sorts.
Did you injure your back? I'm sorry I haven't popped by.
Hugs
Kay
Awwww....so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWell, she'll grow into it although at the moment she can fit into it! I hope your back behaves itself soon. Cara x
ReplyDeleteOoh bless her! That is one huge backpack for one so small! I hope your back eases soon! Take care!!!! xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteAwww poor wee chick, that is one BIG bag!
ReplyDeleteHi Di, how very exciting for Livi and what a huge backpack and I'm surprised it's not pink or purple with sweet girlie pics. Bit late with my Friday Smile visits, so hope you have a super week Robyn
ReplyDeleteI really hope they don't fill that! It is way too big for such a cute little one, crikey I know I couldn't pick it up if it was full. It is such a cute photo though Karen xx
ReplyDeleteI have grandees in Germany and I know that they HAVE to have those bags. Livi is so little for hers and looks so sweet. The bags cost around 100 euros!!! The schools there don't provide anything so the is a lot for them to take with them. I could not believe the list my DD had to buy in advance.
