Have just left dd1 for her 1st day in reception.......

[madamy]

....and she was in floods of tears .

I know she'll be fine, and she's probably not upset now, but she was so looking forward to going and it all seemed a real rush dropping her off. She's been going to the linked nursery so knows the satff, routine and her friends etc and was so excited this morning.

I forgot her water bottle which didn't help, but we live round the corner from school so have just taken into the office and nice lady will take it to her .

I just feel really flat, I guess I wasn't expecting to feel like this .

Oh dear, I know how you feel. Can you ring and ask if she has settled Ok?

Yep, I could do, but what if she's still upset>?! Think I might just go along with the ignorance is bliss way of thinking lol!

I think they would ring you if she was that bad. Hope you manage to feel better later x

I'm worried my DS has the opposite problem - sooooooooo excited and bouncy i worry he'll hit the ground with a bump when he realises this is all there is to it.

they're just babies really!
