Today was Jade's first afternoon at school.
I was at work all day, so it was down to DH to organise it all. It felt strange. In one way, I was thinking, "This is Jade's first day at school - it is momentous - I should be there!" In another sense, as she is only going to do 3 afternoons per week, for the fun, less academic stuff, it doesn't feel that important. She is mainly HE'd - she is doing less school than she did playgroup - and I still mainly consider us an HEing family, obviously. But it was odd to come home and see her jumping about in her uniform and telling me how it had been ("it was fantastic") just like all those other newly-at-school kids are doing this week.
She did some painting, playing, dressing-up, playing outside on the field, all the kids inspected a grasshopper they found, then the teacher read them a poem sitting under a tree outside.
I don't know what she did this morning - I was at work and she was at home with DH!

she looks ever so happy - glad to hear she enjoyed it. Must be an odd moment for you though - how did Bill feel about it?
Same as me - partly unaffected, and partly thinking, "But this is major!"
I'm glad she enjoyed it, and I hope you all adjust OK to the new school / home mix.
So, one week in, how is it going? Still good I hope!
oops, sorry, that was me, Sarah! Not sure why it came out as anonymous
