Amber's experiences in school
Amber started attending pre-nursery this week and so far, it's been as expected, a bit of crying, overwhelming emotions and the need for mummy to be there.
On the first day, we left her there in the midst of her tears expecting the teachers to be able to coax her into playing with the toys and books. However, midway through our lunch at a nearby coffeeshop, our friends Joe and Dawn messaged to say she was crying her head off. When we got back, she was fast asleep in Dawn's arms - silly us, we timed the school smack on her nap time.
Today, the second day, Celest spent the whole time there with her and she was fine. Some of the other children weren't so lucky to have their mummies there and apparently spent the entire 2 hour session crying away, very heart-wrenching.
Tomorrow will be the last day that Celest can spend time there. But no worries, after that it will be big sister Shannon to the rescue as the older children will start their classes on Thursday. Hopefully by then Amber would have grown up.
We think she still has no idea what she is being put through, the poor girl. She constantly tries to yank her name tag off her dress - her sister's old uniform. The picture shows the name tag in its twisted form.
