Was it just a bad day?

Took DS for his first "taster" on Monday afternoon, and I hated it. Spent the last 2 days crying, not eating (much) or sleeping, worrying that he's not going to be happy there, that he'll miss his nursery friends (who live away so wouldn't be going anyway) and generally feeling really, really awful. I think it just hit me that things are never going to be the same again after September. How can I survive until then? Are my feelings normal?

I think it is perfectly normal to worry, and to be sad that life is about to change for good too. It's learning to accpet that your child is that bit older, reahcing yet anothe milestone, and about to do something big all by himself. And about having to let go a little bit. It can be hard.

But saying that, DD started in September last year. Already I can't beleive we have almost finsihed the year. DD didn't know anyone on starting school but she now has so many new friends, and has grown and developed so much in the past year. It's actually quite lovely to see.
