Pre School

Well Cas is growing up. First out of nappies and now starting at pre school. He is going 2 morning a week, a Tuesday and a Thursday. After September it will be 5 mornings! Getting him in the swing of things for school!

I was nervous about him starting for 2 reasons. I was worried that it was a real shock to his system, in a new place, with strangers and without me or Chris there. Also I was worried that he was hit or push another child! Sharing and close proximity not being things Cas is good at yet!

When I left him, he was gutted, he was hysterial when I left and I could hear him screaming MUMMY as I left. Not a good start. I rang an hour later and he had only just calmed down. But calmed down he had and they said to leave him be but come to collect him ten minutes before the end so he doesn't get caught in the usual mayham of leaving time.

When I arrived to pick him up he was sitting listening to a story! I couldn't believe it! He was delighted to see me as I was him! He rushed out and I said 'have you had a good time?' he said, 'yes I said mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, I want mummy, and I cried.' 'Oh dear I said, what happened next' he said 'the ladies said . . shhhhhhh'!

The next 2 sessions got progressively better, as he is getting confident with the fantastic staff there. He now says I love Preschool! He particularly likes doing painting and pasta pictures!

He seems to have grown up loads even after just a few sessions! He seems better behaved and more able to do things! Its amazing.

Today was his 4th session and he didn't cry at all when left. He was pleased when he saw me come home from work and said mummy I missed you!
