New Term, New Attitude

06/09/2015 by MrsSavageAngel Leave a Comment

September is here and it’s the start of a new term for so many people. Even if your child isn’t at school yet, it’s the end of the summer and September always feels like a new beginning. A time to start afresh. My lil guy went back to preschool last Thursday. I have to admit, after the terrible return we had after last half term break I was nervous as to how it would go. But as a friend said to me, you just need to to expect the best, and prepare for the worst. So I did.

Of course, as it turned out he ran straight in to the building without a care in the world, happy as a clam. In fact he was so happy, he ran straight over the to nature table and pulled his trousers down! Not for any other reason than he needed the loo you understand but it did make me chuckle as I ran over and pulled those pants back up.

I guided him to the bathroom and he bossed his whole potty training routine in a new environment straight away, including drying his hands on a paper town and feeding the towel to the ‘Tiger bin’. What a dude! I was so glad I’d written the script from his potty training app out for his TA, as it meant she understood what he was trying to communicate straight away. One mummy brownie point right there!

Anyway, potty business over, that was that. He was off and I left. I was so relieved we didn’t have a repeat of last term. A friend and I spent the morning drinking coffee in my favourite Haslemere coffee haunt. We talked about this and that and when time came to pick him up I felt refreshed.

However, the best bit was when he saw me. From the other side of the room he shouted “Mummy, Mummy!” while running straight into my arms. Now this might be the kind of welcome you take for granted from your children and I hope for you it is. But it’s new to me. And it’s splendid. It’s worth leaving him, just to get that reaction when I come back!

So what does the new year hold? What am I going to have to do and go through in order to find him the best support and the right school for next year? I honestly don’t know and yeah, it still scares me. But I don’t want to start this journey with a negative attitude. So I’m going to treat it like I treat everything else that scares or worries me. I’m going to expect the best and prepare for the worst.

Happy back to school everyone xxxx

Oscar’s party was a roaring success. The cousins Oscar’s party was a roaring success. The cousins all came and played together like they were best of friends, the Minecraft themed food was devoured, the castle was bounced to within an inch of its life, the grown ups chatted and most of all the boy had the best day! And now I’m so exhausted I’m off to bed. Thank you to the family (and chosen family) who helped make it such a special day for our special little guy. #whenoscarturnedten #happybirthday #familypartiesarethebest
Ten years old. Where has that decade gone? He’s Ten years old. Where has that decade gone? He’s ten years old. I’m ten years older. Sometimes it feels like we’re growing up together! Happy birthday beautiful boy. And Happy Birthing Day to me. 🥰
It’s that time of year again when I lay all his It’s that time of year again when I lay all his presents out and say I’m ready for him to be another year older and then quip that I am NEVER ready for him to be another year older. But 10 man? I don’t know, it feels so… significant. Double digits, a decade, it somehow feels different from all the other birthdays. I can’t quite believe it tbh. Anyway as he’s having his birthday here (tomorrow) but his party in Plymouth next Saturday it has been decreed it’s his birthday all week. And what with the grand age he’s turning, I think that sounds perfectly appropriate.
Breakfast in bed (toast and a makeshift cloche - w Breakfast in bed (toast and a makeshift cloche - we fancy!) and three cards and a sunflower he planted from seed at school 😱! Now off out for lunch. Very much a Happy Mothers Day to me! And to all the mamas I know. May you be treated like Kweens today!
