It has been a long wait, but this monkey finally had his first day of school on Tuesday, but this week has seriously done me in! He has been in for just 2 and a half hours in the morning so I have been feeling that as soon as I dropped him off, I was getting home, frantically doing chores and racing back down to go and pick him back up. Next week will be a little easier as he will be staying for lunch and then coming home, and by the end of the month, he should be going full time. He wouldn't stand still one little bit for me to take a picture and then refused any more. It'll be the perfect photo to sum up life at the moment though!
I'm also probably going to get a reputation as the "quirky" mum - or "weird mum" or be known as "scooter mum", but really couldn't care less. This awesome thing has made the school run oh-so-much better for me. Dylan gets on it, and as it is surprisingly downhill (slightly, but enough lol) to the school so I only need to do a little scooting, and as Dylan has been walking down there and running around in the playground and then going into the classroom to play and then having to walk all the back he has been exhausted (I didn't take the scooter the first day), so I have been pushing him back while he stands on it. Scooting back after drop off has also been giving me a flipping good workout!
I wish I could say all this has made Dylan sleep better at night. Nope, he's pretty much the same as before minus a couple of really bad nights where school the next day has been playing on his mind so those nights were worse. So many people have said that once he starts school his sleep will be better and there's still a little time before he's full time so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed but I'm not holding out much hope!
