Little Gem

First day back to school,  a busy morning more so because Boy Wonder had to be extracted from his bed and intensively motivated to get ready.  Memories came flooding back of our typical school day antics. We have been so spoilt in the holidays!

Both children safely delivered to school, teacher updated, I went to work. The day passed quickly today. Emotions running high with a mixture of Cat Girl's first day and worry about how Boy Wonder is really coping . It is a shame that Cat Girl's first day was clouded with the ongoing battle we are in but she is a strong little thing and wore a permenant smile. She is our little gem.

I picked them both up after school. Cat Girl was still smiling, Boy Wonder was reserved. As we got into the car he went from okay to agitated very quickly, complaining of  tummy ache, headache and becoming tearful. We went to dance and his teacher distracted him for an hour with the lesson. She had her work cut out tonight but as usual rose to the challenge.

This evening Boy Wonder played with his friends. His behaviour was impulsive and resulted in him attempting to eat berries found on a bush growing into our garden.  He flitted from activity to activity, his friends bowing down to his every move.  We called him in from the garden to settle down and are in for a long, long night I feel!

Wow, this blog is a little (a lot) emotional today. I guess this one blog sums up the huge difference between a chilled and happy Boy Wonder and a highly anxious little boy. I promise that I will lighten up after today and find at least one funny moment in the midst of the madness!!
