Pre-school
ah my baby is growing up! She has her first day at pre-school tomorrow afternoon, she's only ever been left with my parents so am petrified and she keeps saying already she wants mummy to stay with her, I am allowed to stay but having discussed it with other parents and the carers there, it only prolongs the distress of them staying on their own for much longer.
It sounds cruel but I'm hoping there are other children crying for mummy to stay as normally when she sees other children crying she looks at them as it to say 'what the hell is wrong with you?'
Anyone else's junies started yet or starting this week?
If it goes smoothly it'd be great coz it means once my little man is here, I'll get an afternoon just with him and in the meantime a nice chilled out afternoon to prepare for him coming. x

Pick her up at 4, so interested to see what she thought.
They take them from 2 and a half here Elaine and with bubs arrival just around the corner i thought it would be good to get her settled there one afternoon a week a short time before he arrives, it's not free til she's 3 when she'll actually start at her actual school she'll eventually go to instead.
Can't concentrate on doing anything but only an hour before I pick her up again now anyway. x
She lasted the 3 hours.
Almost fell asleep at one point they said and asked for us once but was settled when she was told we would be back for her soon.
She asked to do a wee on toilet, which I am so pleased about coz she is fully toilet trained now and didn't want this to set her back worrying about asking to go.
When i picked her up though she walked out to me in her coat with her little picture she had made with her bottom lip trembling as if to say why did you leave me there mummy, but having asked her all about it she seemed to enjoy it and hasn't said she doesn't want to go back next week. Sure it won't take long. x
