She did not sleep much last night - being concerned that she was nervous, we bent the rules and let her get away with more that usual. However eventually at about 04h00, I decided enough was enough and just sent her back to bed and told her that was it.
She eventually went to sleep, but was up at 06h00, happy as larry... Turned out she could not sleep because she was so excited to go to "pre-primary". We shoudl have realised as Claudia had to take her part the school on Saturday to show her that there was no one there.
Riley followed her usuall routine and dressed, ate and got her bags ready...
She left happily and was quite chatty on the way, she walked in on her own and Mrs Maharaj and Mrs Krummeck showed her her "symbol" - a window, as well as where to put her bags etc.
She was a little clingy and Mrs Krummeck had to take her when I left, however she immediately settled in and was occupied making cakes. I snuck this pic immediatley after she thought I was gone.
She had a good day, and the report back was very pleasing... Just shows that as parents we must be very carefull NOT to project our fears etc. on our children.
Riley did so well that she actually "adopted" a little boy who was not happy. She went and told Mrs Maharaj "I think he is not very happy". She told me that he looked like Kamo - her friend from her old pay group. I have been invited to "come to the garden and see him".
And then Granny collected her - also quite a developement - Anne drove all the way to Headway and found her way back home too... Well Done!
So all in all a very successfull day!
