I know it'll be fine, of course it will but she's just so small and defenceless
She was 2 a week before Christmas and I've decided to get her into a pre-school now because I really want her to be interacting with her peers more. Then when she starts at the Montessori school in September she'll be used to being around lots of other children etc. I just think she's needs to be practising her social skills with other children more and it could really help her development etc etc, (this is me justifying why I?m doing this now when I?m not sure if she?s really ready for it)
It's just that she still looks like such a little diddy doll, she?s so small! It's because she's not standing unless you force her to and only then fully supported by your legs or a table. She can't get down off a chair and get away from anyone if she wants to. She'll be fully dependent on the teachers, unable to ask properly for anything, tell them what?s just upset her or remove herself from an overly boisterous child
I know she has to deal with it and so do I, and I know it'll all be fine eventually and it's all for the best and all that. I just feel REALLY nervous and protective and a bit lump in the throatish iykwim!
Have decided to just take her in then leave straight away and wait outside with mobile in hand waiting for the call to say ?come and get her she?s really had enough?!
That's it really, just needed to come on here and spill that out, you know how it is
