First day at preschool - mostly the tears are Mummy's...

[~Kim~]

Sounds like you both did very well!

Happy Birthday Lucy and Tallon for yesterday.

I hope she had a great day at school!

How did she go?
Imran starts in about 3 weeks. He's going to have his big brother to keep an eye on him so he'll probably have a blast.

JENNIFER I have a friend who's daughter's name is Hope Lucy & would you believe it she was born the very same day as your Lucy 10th of March 2006

... She had 'The Fairies' as the theme for her party on Sunday and we had a lovely day at Funbugs with her for her actual 2nd birthday yesterday

... I wonder if your Lucy is anything like Hope Lucy

Oh Jen its awlays harder on the mum isn't it?? We have a "tea and tissues" morning tea at our school on the first day of school for the kindy mums!!
I didn't realise they could go to preschool at 2 either (Happy birthday Lucy BTW) She will have so much fun and socialising that she will barely notice you have gone.

I still get a bit teary when I drop Zander ff & tomorrow is his sixth time!

Hop you both had a good day....

Awww thanks girls, we both made it through the day intact!

Kim - congrats on your pg btw, I didn't realise!

There are only a couple of preschools in our area that take them from two and to be honest the one she is going to is the only one that IMO is a proper preschool and not just a daycare centre for the over-2s. I personally didn't want to send her off to childcare. Liz, are there any occasional care centres in your area (there's one near here that some of the Mums love)? They would give you the odd morning or afternoon break here or there and give Tallon a chance to socialise without having to put him into regular childcare.

Her teacher told me when I picked her up that you would never have known it was her first day, she was absolutely fine. She was happy to see me, but not overly ecstatic or clingy and really just excited to tell me that they'd had a chicken that she gave a pat. (They've hatched them from an incubator).

Thanks again girls!

Aww Jen, your baby is growing up hun

You know there are days when Tehya still cries when I leave her at daycare. She's been going for a year now. We've just changed to a Pre school and she starts there tomorrow. I'm so not looking forward to it. We've been going to the other one since Noah was 2, so this would be our 4th year. I think I will miss it more than Tehya.

Onwards and upwards hun. I hope Lucy continues to love Pre school.

Oh, not to make you anxious, but in my experience the sooks start about 3 weeks into it. Hope Lucy doesn't do this for you
