It has been a big week in our household. The first day of school went so well. It was exciting and new, and Darby just loved it {and I coped surprisingly well!}.
It was the second day that proved harder for us both. It all fell apart for both him and for me.
There were plenty of tears, apprehension, fear, anger, you name it, all the emotions came out in the space of an hour and a half getting ready! All of this was soothed by his lovely teacher, who took his hand and helped him set up for the day.
And then the exhaustion hit. So we are taking it pretty easy this weekend and preparing for a full on week.
Gosh it is amazing how just being a school uniform makes them seem older!
