First day of school

[Astrid]

No tears either. DD1 was more than ready and excited to go.

[Astrolady]

Nope none here either with any of my kids.

I agree with Liz. The school day goes so fast. I don't remember it going that fast when I went to school LOL.

No but then he was happy to go to school and I think I would have if he had been upset or crying. Actually I think I did get tearing seeing some of the other kids crying.

I didn't cry with DD1 but I did with DD2. I was worried sick she would have a melt down and be so overwhelmed by it, so I had more than a tear or two when I saw her happily go and sit on the mat to start her first day, but they were tears of relief not sadness. She looked like she was playing dress ups in her school uniform. I've had far more tears along the way at their accomplishments though - nothing out of the ordinary but just typical mum pride in her kids doing well and loving what they do

I didn't cry on the first day with DS1, but I cried on the second day because we'd taken him in to school ourselves because it was his first day, but on the second day he flat refused to get on the bus to school and he was crying and then the bus is driving off and he's looking at me soooo upset and then I started crying because I felt so terrible for making him get on the bus. Mind you we are 42kms from town and there is no other option BUT the bus to school LOL. I didn't cry when the girls started because I was an old hand at it by then But with DS2, I get teary just thinking about him going to school I'm going to be a mess on his first day, with my last baby growing up and going to big school.

Yes, I did with my eldest. It was as I left the classroom and walking out of the school. I did the same on both their first day of preschool, as I left and was walking out. I think I might have made it out to the car before the tears flowed when DS1 started preschool.

I'm a big sook.
