After the chaotic year we had I delayed ds' start to primary school thinking wed never be settled in time for september and had no desire to move him from a preschool he was very settled at (after much hard work) to re-settle him at a new primary school only to move him again when we were housed.
Anyway long story short we got housed end of july, 20mins away from 'home' so to speak but are very happy and more settled than ever. Ds preschool went back two weeks ago and its taking 45mins to get there each morning and costing a lot in fuel and fees as four half days isn't enough for him anymore.
So on passing I popped to our local primary, turns out due to renovation they're not opening for reception until next week and they have a space. I had a long chat to ds and we looked round and dp and I decided it was best he left preschool after all and went to primary when all his peers would.
The preschool he's at I know the staff personally so was very relaxed about him starting, but he was only four 6weeks ago, he is so independant and can fully dress/undress/do shoes etc so why am I fretting.
Problem is I'm having panic attacks about him not coping, he desperatly wants 'hot dinners' so having looked over the menu and tried one I'm happy for that but then I panic and think will he make the right choices, what if he drops his tray? Will he be understood (had speech delay and struggles when stressed) also a whole school trip to the zoo is planned and that means a coach, no carseats.
And a million other irrational worries, I'm being ridiculously pfb aren't I? So give me a virtual slap and tell me hell be fine and love every second!
