For most of us the kids have gone back to school today. We are lucky, my sisters’ kids have not – their school is closed because of the snow. This is our first ‘back to school’ after a long break so we didn’t know how it would go. We have been preparing our daughter that today would be the day, however when she woke up there were still tears and “I don’t want to go to school” was said to us in many different ways.
Getting her uniform on was a bit of a challenge. So was getting her to sit still so Mummy could do her hair.
When it actually got to time to leaving the house though, she was completely fine and the walk and going into school were uneventful. So much for the tears that we were expecting – very proud parent here!
I guess you can’t really predict accurately what is going to happen. She was probably looking forward to catching up with her friends after all.
Typical behaviour too since she has got home. She seems to have had a good day, but won’t tell us much, maybe later she will let us know how she got on. For now, we will let her decompress after her first day back.
