She had been looking forward to this day for such a long time. This morning she woke early, excited, jittery, but nervous. Having daddy around made the day more special and she spent a lot of time having morning cuddles.
Next to Andrew she looks so tiny. I just couldn't believe we had arrived at this day, after so many ups and downs, health issues, eating issues, growth issues, she was going to school.
The excitement turned to tears and stress at school. Andrew and I couldn't leave, she cried, it broke my heart. No amount of cajoling or bribing could get her to let go of my hand, Andrew decided we had to be firm and so we left as tears were welling in her eyes...
Fast forward to this afternoon - she does not want to go back to school, BUT she had a great day, her teacher is lovely, sweet and kind (her words) and she made new friends. I am sure the next couple of weeks will be tricky for her but we will get through.
