I love change!! I really do I am terrified of boredom, of not experiencing enough of life so change to me is exciting. However I hate anticipation so the lead up to a big change is my anxiety stricken phase. We have had the most glorious summer in all ways. It has been so hot so sunny and me, TP and BP have been together for 2 whole months. We have spent time alone and with friends, exploring and relaxing at home and now it is the end of summer and the start of a new and permanent phase in all of our lives. TP started school last Monday, BP starts nursery on 8th October and I will be back at work on 15th. This seemed like wonderful planning in January but now we’re here it feels like one blow after the next.
School has been tricky though not as tricky as planned. TP is shy and has struggled settling in nursery/childminder and preschool so I know what to expect. However we have prepared and he has done brilliantly. We talked a lot about what to expect over the summer we practiced showing our ‘about me’ book and we broke school down in to steps to show that walking through a gate, in to a room and playing isn’t scary. I have helped with this but his strength has amazed me. I think he is still my baby, to be honest most of the time I want him to be my baby but he is growing in to a gorgeous boy. Last Monday I felt like ‘The Man’ was breaking my family up and I still have an issue with the all school, no holiday (makes Jack a dull boy) policy but we have a good education system we have safe schools and they provide the environment for our children to grow and learn.
This is TP’s first full week and we are all growing and learning. We have a new routine and happily a new scoot, it’s not as long but last Friday TP turned to me and said ‘it’s good to scoot again mum’ and he is absolutely right.
