A trio of cousins are about to share in a big milestone as they start school at Bellbridge Primary School.
Ava, Elizabeth and Poppi-Ann, all 5, have come to be known as the triplets by their parents – who are all siblings – because they were born within six months of each other.
Ava and Elizabeth came into the world less than 24 hours apart in July 2020, and despite being two rooms away in the same hospital, couldn’t meet due to Covid.
Poppi-Ann followed six months later.
According to Elizabeth’s mum Vicky Sullivan, it didn’t take long for the three musketeers to earn a shared reputation.
“Triple trouble” were the first words out of our mum’s mouth,” she said.
“Triple trouble for sure were her exact words when she saw they were all blonde-haired, innocent-looking angels.”
Ending up at the same school came through pretty pragmatic reasons.
“My sister has moved back into mums and my brother works and we all help out with Poppi-Ann.
“I threw it out there that it would be practical and that it would be really cool to have them all there to support each other and not be so daunting for them – and aunty Vic would be there for their first day of school and surprisingly they agreed.”
