Today has been a very weird day. Everyone has gone back to school and we have not. We are still away and are not yet affected by the start of term. I feel slightly light headed thinking that this is it. There is no going back now, I don't want to, but, this is now real. Her class have all gone back in their uniform to their new teacher to sit at new desks in a new classroom. I know I have made the right decision but it still feels weird. Isabella is not aware what has started as she is busy snokelling in the sea looking at different types of fish and getting very excited realising she can breathe underwater with a snorkel on.
I know this year will go quickly and I am filled with excitement and trepidation at what is around the corner. I just have tiny flashes of playground banter by the mums and the coffee mornings I won't be part of. I don't think I will miss these as we will do other things.
I had a lovely text message from a mother as she returned to school sending her love and hoping the girls can play soon. She still has invites to lots of birthday parties and I know we will have lots of playdates. I think the hardest thing is knowing everyone has gone back to the day to day school life. I just hope we have done the right thing. So far so good (but it is only one day) I will start to let you know what techniques I pick up as I teach her and hopefully these will be useful to other parents out there.
Adios
