So who's got a baby thats about to leave the motherin nest for the first time and venturing out into the wonderful full time world of school this year?????
Are you nervous as hell?
Is your baby excited and wearing their uniform everyday already?
I know this is Wilhelms second year...but I missed the first few weeks last year and I feel like im going to relive his first days this time round.
YES im nervous and excited for him...there is a new program for special need kids at his schoolthis year so it will be wonderful and new for him.
Don't get me wrong.. I am excited for him but damn I am going to miss my baby so very much (just as I will miss his big brother to) I love school holidays
Isaac has tried on his uniform and is so so about it. He loves his shoes and hat though..
*sniffsniff* Simon better take me for a strong coffee that morning..
I must be the odd one out cause I'm having a party on the inside lol, can't wait and neither can she.
I'm a bit nervous for her first adventures into the real world and I am sure I will be a bit teary when I leave her there but I am sooooooooo looking forward to it at the same time.
She is more than ready to go, gets so bored at home these days she really needs the stimulation and some friends her own age.
I am still looking forward to it for both our sakes.. Me for a little break and for himt o get some interaction that for the past year I haven't been able to do..
I think within a month he will be so excited and be really looking forward to going..
Did any of your kids go to daycare? My kids aren't looked after anyone but me or DH and I am with them 99% of the time.. Occasionally they will stay with my mum while we go to the shops but thats only when we are visiting mum. So Isaac going to school will make us feel like we are missing something for a while.. then as it did with our eldest we will get used to it
I am mixed emotions about it all..
Going to miss her like crazy & won't know what to do with myself to a certain extent, but at the same time I'm excited for her & am happy to see her growing up.. She will become a social butterfly before I know it..
I'm also nervous, because I think we might get to Thursday morning & she'll pleading with me not to make her go..
DD hasn't being excited about starting school at all, until I picked up her uniforms & stationery on Friday, she hasn't stopped wearing her cullottes, polo shirt & hat since
DD has attended Daycare on & off for the last 3-4yrs..
Aidyn starts prep on Tuesday... I'm actually excited, but nervous for him. We decided to send him after a long complicated battle with different opinions from kindy etc on holding him back a year. He will be attending Prep at a state school from mon-wed (the school also has a special unit for kids with ASD), and then on thur fri he will be attending the 'prep class' at an early childhood development unit in a another suburb, which is a program especially suited to kids with ASD or other developmental disorders etc.
He's quite blase about it I think... so we will see how things go on Tuesday, I think it might hit home a bit more for him then!
Aidyn attended 4yo kindy last year, as well as 2 half days at the ECDU, so he is used to attending school like programs!
Goodluck to everyone and their preppies this week!!

I have no idea how to feel. We've talked about going to school, and she did 3 trial days there to see how she went last year. She is doing 2 1/2 days for 2 weeks and then 3 days until she's ready to do more. So she's really going part-time but that is because that is what her school does. All the kindy/prep kids go 3 days for at least the first term, than they increase days as they are ready. The other Asperger's boy is 7 and in grade 2 and is going 4 days a week because that is all he can handle, and they are happy for that to be what that family does. So it gives me hope that Matilda can do part time kindy/prep for at least a year if not longer!
My Clarebear starts this year... I don't feel ready for it at all! She's extremely bright, but in some ways is still such a baby. She is also very young - won't be five until the middle of March. We ummed and ahhed over sending her but because she is so bright and getting bored at kindy, we felt we should give it a go.
She's so tiny, and her shorts and hat are huge on her. She's finding the whole transitioning thing out of babyhood quite difficult, and that's compounded with getting a new baby brother, as well. She is the youngest of five and has very much been the baby up until now.
I've already sent four kids off to school - you'd think I'd be used to it by now, wouldn't you?
ok my little man is suddenly excited lol. We are naming his gear and filling drink bottles to freeze and now he is all excited and dancing around with his bag and hat on
My Lucy is starting soon (Thurs week in Vic) and she is ridiculously excited. We are down to 10 sleeps now and she doesn't let me forget!
I haven't been nervous or teary, until tonight I ordered some iron-on and sticker name labels for her clothes and drink bottle etc, and it brought back memories of me going off to school. I can't believe she is 5.5 already!
She is VERY ready for it, and now her little brother keeps asking if he can go soon. I think he will notice the change the most, as he will be in childacre by himself without her there to play with....
I feel very honoured to be a kindy teacher (NSW prep) as well as scared LOL because this is such a huge thing for all the families involved and I get to be a part of it!
I have decided to take photos of all the kids on the 1st day and then give them to the parents at Christmas with another photo at the end of the year.
Yep, my eldest starts Tuesday, it may be a little tricky as i am about to drop a baby literally any day now, and I'm very concerned he doesn't feel like he is being ousted just as bub comes into the family, so he might have a bit of a checkered start, I might take him out for a few days when bub comes...or bring him home when I'm in labour (having a homebirth) ahh well....we shall see how it all goes...
He also has never been in childcare, so I'm wondering how he will do, they are long days suddenly for little folk.
On the plus side, he is advanced acedemically, and very social, so he should do fine
Who's got a Prepy starting this year??
:?
