Dear Son,
I understand that my leaving you at school to go home with your brother and sister is difficult for you as you think we are off to do fun stuff without you. It breaks my heart to see you getting so upset.
Please do not try and escape from school again. You actually enjoy it once I have gone, so no more tantrums and tears at the school gates.
Education is very important and will bring you fabulous rewards as you learn to read, write and interact socially with your peers.
It is really hard for me to leave you too.
I love you more in the whole world with chocolate bar eggs and more.
Mummy xxx

School Uniform *blub*
There comes a time in every mothers life when their child prepares for their first day at school. I thought I had this covered seeing as I have done the 'first day' thing at nursery and at two preschools!
Wrong.
It seems that I am set for a big melt down come Monday when my eldest boy has his first day at big school.
Today, for the first time, I managed to get him into the WHOLE uniform. I am not ashamed to admit that it brought tears to my eyes!
He looked adorable and VERY grown up all of a sudden.
I'm not sure if the impending sadness is just of heart swelling pride though. I genuinely believe this could have something to do with my losing my child into 'the system' and the inevitable changes that he will go through of which I have little or no control.
I know he is ready for school. I know he needs to learn. My concern is the unsupervised access to other peoples complete little sod's who irrevocably will have an impact on my child's personality.
He is a sensitive lad. He is not dry completely. He still has a sleep through the day. He turned 4 a week ago and is the youngest child in the whole school from Monday.
How does my maternal protection instinct extend to during school hours without making a complete nuisance of myself or committing social suicide on behalf of my child?
I'm really not sure how to begin to process any of this mentally.
I am sitting here indulging in the last few days of my little boy before he begins his journey into a young man. I hope his caring, gentle, adventurous, sensitive, loving, cuddly, smoochy, yummy demeanour stays in there. Somewhere.
He has the ability to blossom into a wonderful young man. I hope nobody undoes all of my hard work.
