Eldest DS starting reception this week - I am crying one minute and excited for him the next....

My eldest DC is starting reception tomorrow and I am all over the place about it. My stomach is in knots and I feel both excited and scared for him. He has attended the
nursery attached to the school and attended a preschool prior to that so I know he shouldn't have separation issues. So why am I feeling like this?

I feel like it is the end of an era for us. I also want his school years to be really great and memorable.

I guess I must just be a bit hormonal about the whole thing (just had DC3 10 weeks ago) as well.

Just hope I don't cry when we drop him off.

Starting reception seems bigger than going to preschool because it's the first rung of the long, long ladder of a school career. It is a big deal, but you'll quickly get used to it. I hope he has a fantastic time. You too.
