The day I finally crumbled

Jasmine has been settling into big school super well. Today Tanya started too, Jasmine's friend from nursery, so she was more than a little enthusiastic this morning. But as I watched Jasmine clutch Tanya's hand and race into the classroom without so much as turning her head I felt a little pang of loss. All I wanted to do was follow her in, give her a massive mummycud and spend the day watching how she got on, but what I had to do was let her go and blub all the way home instead.

A threshold moment

Jasmine started Big School yesterday! She was very excited, as was I, and for the next 3 weeks I am going to be a happy and willing mama at the school gates.
