So, this day I've been dreading for so long to is coming on Monday when my 4 year old starts school, I've shed so many tears, my 4 year old is my first born I have a two year old too,

My 4 year old on the other hand is super confident and will walk through them school gates no problem, me on the other hand selfishly im in bits im going to miss him incredibly, I feel like im moarning lol can someone just send me a virtual hug and some light that this will end,

Of course Im looking forward to all the new ventures and he is so so so ready, it's me, my husband is excited but doesn't get the mum emotional element

Firstly sending you virtual hugs. This was me last year. I cried all night the night before. My dd didn't know anyone in her school and was quite shy so I was terrified she wouldn't make friends. The first day she went in no problems at all. As this was her first full day the teachers said she had a little cry after dinner but they got out some toys and took her mind of it and she was fine. No crying again after that. She made some friends and its really brought her out of her shell. Your dd sounds very confident and I'm sure she will be absolutely fine. Have you had a little talk about her starting school and all the fun she will have? The first day is always the worse for parents.
