Today we officially began a relationship that will continue until the end of 2017. Miss Boo went to school. From the moment she got out of bed, she was asking when she could go to school.
Finally the time arrived, and after a few tears and a tantrum over what to wear, we set off on our first walk to St School.
After finding her pigeon hole and completing some puzzles, Mrs C rang the bell, signalling the children to sit on the mat and the parents to leave. Surprisingly, there were no tears from children (or parents).
It wasn’t until I was walking home… the enormity of it all overwhelmed me. I’ll admit walking across the park the tears ran down my cheeks as it hit me. THIS IS SCHOOL! By the time I reached the other side of the park, my composure was regained and I realised the butterflies that had been fluttering around my stomach all morning had vanished.
In the half day (that was not really a half day), despite my intentions, I achieved nothing other than marvelling at the fact that my baby is now a big school girl!
The verdicts in – SHE LOVED IT (especially the music room)! Can’t wait to get back there next week

Because I said so!
It’s so sad when they grow up but wonderful at the same time.
Biggest hugs to you Mummy bird. It’s hard when they are learning to fly.
I’m kind of glad I have another year before school starts for Ivy and Noah.
You did well to not have tears until you were half way home. Hugs to you:)
(hugs) I can only imagine mine will be the same bittersweet tears. It’s great Boo loved it .
Awwww congratulations to you both!!!
Glad she had a great time
It’s bittersweet sending them off into the big world, isn’t it? Can’t beleive I will be sending my baby off to school next year! Fantastic that she loved it, though, and perfectly normal to shed a few tears, but now you embark on a lovely time in their life, when their learning explodes and their enthusiasm is overwhelming! xx
Awww, don’t be sad. I think it’s awesome when kids are well adjusted (Good on ya Mum!) and just ready to soak up school life.
Tiff – I’m so glad she loved it, it certainly makes it easier on me
Julie-Ann – It didn’t really hit me until after I’d left the school exactly what a big step this was!
Trish – You know I’ll probably cry again next year when she’s full time!
Al – Thanks!
Sunnyroad – I’m not really sure I can deal with anymore enthusiasm!!!
Tracey – I’m not really sad, sad at the loss of the baby/toddler/preschooler phases, but happy that she is so ready to soak up school life. She wanted to go back today and it’s all I’ve heard about. School and how lovely Mrs C is
Okay, I KNOW, this is ridiculous and I’m sorry. I owe you your NaBloPoMo gift. I have not forgotten! I HAVE NOT!
