I know it'll be fine, of course it will but she's just so small and defenceless

She was 2 a week before Christmas and I've decided to get her into a pre-school now because I really want her to be interacting with her peers more. Then when she starts at the Montessori school in September she'll be used to being around lots of other children etc. I just think she's needs to be practising her social skills with other children more and it could really help her development etc etc, (this is me justifying why I?m doing this now when I?m not sure if she?s really ready for it)

It's just that she still looks like such a little diddy doll, she?s so small! It's because she's not standing unless you force her to and only then fully supported by your legs or a table. She can't get down off a chair and get away from anyone if she wants to. She'll be fully dependent on the teachers, unable to ask properly for anything, tell them what?s just upset her or remove herself from an overly boisterous child

I know she has to deal with it and so do I, and I know it'll all be fine eventually and it's all for the best and all that. I just feel REALLY nervous and protective and a bit lump in the throatish iykwim!

Have decided to just take her in then leave straight away and wait outside with mobile in hand waiting for the call to say ?come and get her she?s really had enough?!

That's it really, just needed to come on here and spill that out, you know how it is

Good to hear it went well for both of you. I was beside myself when my little darling first went to school and he was 6!!

We are at the hospital too on Fridays, his sn playgroup is in the children's unit, and it's too far from home to leave and come back .

Thomcat · 21/04/2004 17:02

She had her 2nd day today and a repeat performance!

My dad took her and picked her up and I was desperate for news on how she was. Report back was that the teachers were all in love with her already, she was full of smiles and armed with more pictures for the fridge door!!

It feels SO good to think that she settled in so easily and happily. After MrsForgetfuls news today I feel full of the joys of spring
