Starting school

Child number 1 - cried when settling into Nursery started school no problems at all

Child number 2 - never cried at Nursery or starting school

Child number 3 - onto day 4 of screaming, wailing and gnashing of teeth when going in ( but loving the day after that 5 minute moment)

Child number 4 - God help me when the time comes!

So Cat started off great, but suddenly seemed to decide that it was a good idea to miss Mummy, and scream at going in time.

The first day was a shock, as there I was gossiping and thinking she was long gone, when out she runs screaming and crying. Arrggghhh silly me, number one rule of starting school dump them and run.

Day 2 I was prepared in case, so when the crying started she was quickly hurled into the teachers arms, as I tried hard to walk very quickly away while hiding the upset.

Day 3 After a long chat from mummy and daddy, I thought we would be ok, no luck. The lovely teacher promised her a sticker if she came in with a smile the next day.

Day 4 Cat was determined not to cry, but the tears won out. Plan so far teacher has offered her a sticker and certificate if there is a smile tomorrow. I am planning on turning getting to class into a race, in the hope that she won't have time to think about crying.
