Are your kids full time? That was my big eye opener. All this "free time"! I think it's great that your kids ran in without a second thought. At least you know they'll be ok, and they didn't go crying and clinging to your leg. Don't worry, they still need you!

Good morning peeps!
It's Monday morning, my kids are back at school and I feel a little lonely (crazy, I know lol)
They're just growing up way too fast for my liking. They started their first day at their new schoo. This is more of a preprimary than a play school so now the structure really begins. The teachers are very big on teaching them independance etc so they ask that we just drop them at the door, kiss them goodbye and then leave. No walking in with them, carrying their backpacks for them or even carrying the kid into school.. which is pretty much what I did at their old school lol. So this morning, we get to school, they grab their backpacks, barely notice I'm there waiting for my kiss and are clampering into the school all full of wonder and excitement.. Had to steal a kiss on their cheeks as they rushed past me lol.
Omg! I've turned into one of those mothers who cope less with new school changes than the children do lol.
