OOh, am sure you will both be fine. Give em a call half way through to see how he is. Just incase! IS he very little or just a bit little....?!

If he's got his new dolly he'll be well away. My DS was 9months when he started Nursery, and he's a dinky-dot. It was the best thing I could have done for him.

My DS was a wee bit upset at first and so was I, but he settled in very quickly. Phone the nursery as many times as you need to tomorrow. They'll be used to it and very sympathetic.
Now DS hides from me when I arrive to collect him . He absolutely loves it.
Good luck to your DS and you.

Everyone's ridiculous the first time they let go of their little one, lots of us have been there.

CvQ I have cried many times leaving my LOs at pre-school, school etc. Nothing wrong with showing how much you care.

Am thinking of you

LilRedWG · 14/08/2008 09:56
