DD had her first day at playschool today.

According to the teachers she was fine... a bit quiet but involved and ate well etc.

However the first thing i noticed when i went in to get her was how tired and stressed she looked. She seemed really pale and lonely looking. When we got her to the car she starting sobbing and had a major meltdown at home, only calmed down after lots of hugs and kisses and being reassured we loved her.

She has a comfort object, a bear, that i told the teacher to give her if she was upset but she didn't even know he was in her bag til she saw me take him out at home and wouldn't have had the courage to ask for him anyway. I don't understand why she wasn't given him when so obviously upset.

I'm rambling but this has really upset me.... i'm not sure i can bring myself to send her again tomorrow but if this is all normal while she settles in and she'd be perfectly happy i'm not sure i shouldn't.

Glad to hear it, PinkTulips

lol.... she's ecstatic today

loved it, was in great form when i got her and chatted about playschool for the rest of the day. she sat on my lap cuddling me and chattering with me for ages and is in a really nice mood which is so rare.

and she's devoured her dinner and asked for fruit when given the option of fruit or biscuits for desert! i gave her plums and grapes which she normally rejects and she's ploughing through them.

can't believe it's having such a good affect on her already.

feel like such a silly mummy for freaking out yesterday

Oh thats great!!!
I was just going to say, couldn't she go into nursery holding the bear?. Ds takes his in his bag but always wants it when I say 'bye' to him. After a few minutes he puts it in the going home box.
