School Days
I am no longer the mum of two pre-schoolers. Freyja had her first day today - well, first two hours anyway, they break them in gently.
She has been very excited about it - somehow I succeeded in bigging it up just the right amount and she was really looking forward to it and was fine that none of her friends would be there.
Adrian and I dropped her off at 9am, she did a quick round of the classroom and said 'okay, you can go now'. So we did. No fuss, no tears, I didn't feel at all sad.
I picked her up at 11am. On the way home she told me that she had felt a little bit sad. 'When Daddy and I left?', I asked her. 'No', she replied, 'When I saw you picking me up. I didn't want to go yet'.

I'm really glad she enjoyed herself - its often the way that we worry too much on their behalf :)
I know!
She wasn't quite as happy today but once we got there she was completely fine and had another great day.
Hope Sam is settling in!
Sam has only had a half day settling in session (yesterday) and starts properly on Monday. I suppose because he's just down the corridor from the school nursery, wearing the uniform he's worn since January and with all his pals, he's not shown the slightest bit of worry and I've not been the slightest bit worried about him in return. School nurseries rock, tbh.
I'm starting to think we should let him go full time with the rest of his class in a couple of weeks - I don't think he finds coming home with me at lunchtime remotely stimulating :)
I think I'll put Theo down for the school nursery. I didn't with Freyja as I really like the playgroup she was at (which Theo starts at on Monday), but I do think that being at the school nursery prepares them well for 'big school'.
