My dd is 2yrs and 8 months old and just begun 3 mornings a week pre-school. I worked at preparing her, she visited a couple of times last term, taken photos of the staff and venue and we'd learned names fo staff .. She's tearful at goodbye and has become tired early so although she seems to be settling I've been collecting her early.
I've been wobbling about her being too young to be there but the pressure is to start in line with the academic year and 'there might not be a place in January if you delay..'. Anyway, another factor has come into play, despite my looking forward to some free time ( I also have an older child) to catch up on jobs etc.: I MISS HER! Anyone else feel like this?
