School started last week. Mornings only. I had been dreading it for such a long time. I still feel cheated out of 6 months wit hher ... but started she did! She was really quite excited about it - they had been eased in with several open afternoons and meeting the teachers.
She was very quiet on the way though - posing for a few pics with Ciaran and JAck, but clingy otherwise. She wanted me to go into the classroom with her, but started crying when I said I had to leave. It was just horrible - telling her I had to leave when I just wanted to run out with her. Luckily, the teaching assistant came over and started talking to her - and she was all smiles, happy for the attention and happy for me to leave. And then she had a great time - it took us a long time to get bits of info from her - essentially all they do is play - but she had made a few new friends and is just loving it. Its her second week now and she is still happy to go - she even walks into the classroom from the playground with her teacher - I am so so proud. Next week they will attend for full days and it will be interesting to see how that goes!
Lucy got a bit jealous for the first few days - we spent the weekend making a real fuss of her too and she is back to normal. One of my worries about Amelia starting school would be that they would not play together as much .. but I need not have worried -they still play together all the time ..
