My son starts school this Thursday - kindy to be precise.
I am feeling anxious about it! Not the school, so much, as leaving him somewhere unfamiliar, with people I don't really know. It feels weird.
I'm not the only one, am I?
My daughter starts next Thursday, 4 year old kindy...and I am pooping bricks I have NEVER left her with anyone other than my hubby or my sisters... and that was only twice! once for an operation for 6 hours and second time for 2 nights when I had her sister!
DD2 starts kindy in a week and I'm terrified. She has severe anxiety issues and is a very withdrawn little person - I'm so scared she's going to freak, never make friends etc. I'm hoping the excitement she is showing at the moment stays when it becomes a reality for her. She's too little to be away from her mummy!!
He told us today that he was a bit worried about his homework! Turned out he meant not having time to do chores around the house (which he doesn't do anyway).
LOL MadB I love it when the LO's show you a funny perspective on their fit - my eldest is starting school on Friday and I feel really torn about it. Not sad as such just thinking about losing her to the influence of other people ITMS. Good luck - we loved kinder and it was the beginning of some great friendships for us. xx
My DD is starting school tomorrow, i am so excited for her as she is absolutely thrilled! I am probably going to cry buckets, but she looks so grown up in her uniform and she is more than ready for the new experience. I do feel sad that i can't be at home for her every afternoon after school, and i'm a bit worried that i haven't done enough to prepare her for things like opening her school bag to get out her lunch box (it has a million zips on it and i can see her getting upset and frustrated over something like this!), or that she won't know what to do for something, or will get lost somewhere in the school and will get worried and won't ask for help. Oh no, now my heart is breaking for her, in case that does happen! Ok, i am going to stick to my original thoughts, i am so excited for her and will try to think of the positives! Good luck to everyone and their LO's!!!
