It only feels like yesterday that you were placed in my arms, a head full of dark hair and tiny dark eye staring back at me. From that moment I just knew, that you would bring such joy into our lives. And today I dropped you off at preschool with your big brother holding your hand, guiding you through the door.
I walked away with you smiling and playing with the Peppa Pig toys along with your brother, I got to the gate and heard you cry. I didn't turn back as I knew it would make things worse so I carried on walking home and waiting for the call I was promised at 10.
Do I drink a cup of tea and sit down to watch This Morning, Or do I put on my rubber gloves on and clean the house top to bottom?
The 45 minute wait for that call was a drag, I cleaned the bathrooms and literally answered the phone within 1 ring. When they told me you were doing amazing and that Finley was helping you settle in I could have cried.
The house feels so empty without you bombing around. In just under 4 years I haven't been at home, alone, without anything to actually do. I haven't sat and watched TV without being asked to turn it over to Peppa Pig or Paw Patrol in such a long time.
I could probably do a little work but my mind is elsewhere. What are you doing right now, I hope your happy and not crying.

I hope you are having the best time, exploring somewhere new and playing with other children.
I'm counting down the hours to collect you and your brother. To hold you tight as I did that first day we met.

Nothing like that first moment of leaving them, like walking off a cliff. It seems that we parents suffer more as most times the little tykes have a great time when we've gone!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. First day of pre school is a biggie. I hope it went well for him, and you! I bet that wait for the phone call felt like all day. And I can imagine how the moment you picked him up must have felt amazing. Thank you so much for linking up with #thisweekiveloved x

Aww! I'm loving all the starting school stories at the moment. It's just a little bit different for everyone, isn't it? I bet it was a massive relief to hear he was doing well x
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely - I remember dropping my daughter at nursery, the hardest walk down the stairs. I'm already imagining what the start of school will be like. Great to have a big brother watching out for you. #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteAww bless you I can imagine you legging it to the phone with your gloves on. So glad Noah was ok and Finley was kind and helped him out. Chill chick...some time for you even though it must be so odd!! xx Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst and see you soon x
ReplyDeleteAhhhh this is so lovely, and even better that he has his big brother there to look out for him :) I hope that his day have been just as good as his first and that you are enjoying your small dose of daytime tv and a hot cuppa! Thanks so much for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
