That's it really, my dd started her first day at school today and went into the classroom bawling her lamps out. She clung to my arm, tried to wrap her leg round mine, and basically made a show of us I was distraught for her too The teacher ended up telling me to leave (which I was planning on doing anyway, as soon as dd let go of my arm!) I felt like I had been told off..and I could hear my dd crying all the way down the school path. The teacher led me out of the classroom and told me I could go back in 15minutes, which I thought was pointless, as, if she had stopped crying, then seeing me again would start her all over again! I waited at the gates and asked another mum who said she wasn't crying as loudly as she had been.. then the next mum said she had settled well.. the last mum out said she wasn't crying anymore and was chatting to the teacher... so I guess she might be ok now. I'll go for her at 12noon ans hopefully she will settle ok tomorrow morning She had been so looking forward to it as well.
