Oskar started going one day a week this year, he was almost 3. He goes on a Wednesday and ooooh I LIVE for that day some weeks lol. It is tough having them 24/7 and no family help. I'm the same and he does love going. He's learnt so many new skills, new songs (ones I remember but didn't remember I remembered lol) and learning more socialising skills. Just recently though he's been having some separation anxiety at drop off time and in the morning before going, however I've been told by one of his teachers that this is VERY normal at his age (he's now almost 3 1/2). At first we didn't have any problems but it then just happened. She said they get past it, it's just they're a lot more aware of things at his age. Having said that, within a few mins of me leaving they tell me he's fine and has a wonderful day. This is the day I do go to the shops to do what I need to do ... with just one kiddie lol. Elijah will go when he's 3 too.

I also saw it as starting to get him ready for prep etc... next year he'll go into the "kindy" program which is (I think) 5 day fortnight, then it's prep the year after, so that's 5 days a week! It will be good for him and he'll learn a lot of new things and do things we just don't have time to do too often when we have other kiddies too.
