Well I'm sitting here wondering if I have remembered everything for tomorrow morning. Tomorrow you start 3 yr olds, we have all been a little excited around the house this past week. You keep assuring me you can go, as you can now go to the toilet all on your own, really without an audience is what you mean! For the last month Georgia and I have always had to go along with you. This morning we went to playgroup and then after we walked past your class room to see where you would be going. When we got home you wore you school bag around the house for at least an hour or so. We have put your name on everything, using stickers that you picked out, they are pink with little elephants on them. Elephants are your favourite at the moment, so much so that I have appliqued an elephant onto your t shirt as a surprise for you, for school tomorrow.
You couldn't fall asleep tonight, your daddy had to lay with you in your big bed until you fell asleep. I have butterfly's for you, I wish I could be a fly on the wall to watch you and to see how you go on in the world without me, how you will make new friends without my guidance, how you will deal with indifference's in the playground, without me there to help. Your relationship that you will have with your teacher, which will be one of many on your school journey. I can only pray that it is a beautiful one and that it will be a positive experience that will help shape your future education.
This will be the first time you have been with out myself or your dad or your pa and ga. I cant help but be a little sad. Where as you are so excited and so eager to go and learn new things, I cant wait for tomorrow morning to take you, I'm not really sure I will sleep a wink tonight.
I promise I will be brave and try not to cry, my little one.
