Nursery!
Typically for me, once I get an idea in my head, if I’m going to go for it, I do it quickly. So, Rowan has started nursery already.
Last week he had 4 settling in sessions. He was as expected – plenty of tears at dropoff and pickup – and a couple of times he cried on and off throughout his (short) time there. On Friday he was there for 4 hours and they actually managed to get him to sleep and eat
He has been quite clingy since he started – whenever we go out of the house he thinks I am going to leave him, but he does relax after a while.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how things are going.
In other news, the little angel keeps waking up at 5.30. We’ve tried fitting a blackout blind but it needs to be set back against the window rather than over the top of the whole window area as too much light is still getting in, but we’ll see if it helps tonight.
