Pre-school days
Charlie (and me) have taken almost exactly six months to reach the point where he can walk in to pre-school with a smile on his face and for me to leave feeling light in my heart and able to achieve anything at all except mope around wondering how he is doing. They tell me that he is fine once I’ve gone and have even given me a photo of him smiling in the playground. They are kind thoughtful people and I am a nuerotic mother of an only child who has trouble leaving her child anywhere really except with grandparents. Some people seem to find this whole nursery process a walk in the park. For me it was more like a stagger across hot ashes. Still we appear to be on the other side now. Hurray for the moment.
