Back to School

Little Prince started back at school today, much to his disgust. I think its because he was ill just before the holidays as he isn't normally like this, but he has been dreading going back to school through out the hols. We packed his bag together and put things in to remind him of home, but he said none of them were going to work and he would just cry and cry :-( Me and Mr Messy walked up to school with Little Prince on his scooter, and he was his normally boingy Tigger-like self most of the way there. He was so excited to see various of his friends as we walked, and I thought that he would be ok. He met his best friend at the gate and told him all about Legoland and then they went running round the playground together quite happily. Until the lining up bell was rung, at first Little Prince ran to be first in line, before running back to Mr Messy and sobbing. He had to be carried to the door and handed over to his teacher. I tried to stay and see that he came out of the cloakroom happily, but one of the other kids Grandmother's kept (literally!!) pushing me away saying "He'll be fine they all get like this!" Grrrrr!!!! We haven't had any phone calls from school to say he isn't coping, but I don't think they would do that as they just think I'm an overprotective mummy!! I hope he has been alright...
