My youngest son visits highschool today. He gets to spend the day there, meeting his new form teacher and getting used to his new classmates ready for September.
He is very excited.
I have thought of every obstacle imaginable. As I won't be here when he leaves for school, I have to be at work by 8 and as the high school is only round the corner he will not be leaving until 8.20, his brother is going to walk him to the bottom of the road and make sure he is facing the right direction to get to high school. This is a necessity as he gets lost going to his bedroom sometimes (ok slight exaggeration, but anyone who has a child with dyslexia that has dyspraxic tendencies will understand where I am coming from here
)
Knowing the school is going to be undergoing building works in September, under the Building schools for the future scheme, thus becoming portacabin city for at least a year, is not helping to ease my fears. Oh I know he will get on fine and find his feet and work his way round and I am just being paranoid. I didn't go through all this with my eldest probably because he is the confident one,nothing fazes him, whereas the youngest gets confused easily, comes across as confident but really is not that confident at all.
It will all be fine, he will be ok, but I wouldn't be a mum if I didn't worry
In other news, it is far too hot to work in a very hot classroom all day, not looking forward to that at all. Yesterday I was dripping, which is not a good look. I hope it is like this over the summer holidays though, nothing worse than working in weather like this and finding that it rains for 6 weeks! Weekend isn't looking too good though!
have a good day xx
