Like teachers across the land I went back to school today! And Madelyn had her first full day at her childminders. She went for two half day try-outs last week so I knew she'd be fine.
As usual, with all new jobs, there are changes to get used to... the usual things: different people, different commute, different terms for familiar things, different classrooms etc. But there were some unusual things too! Firstly getting stuck behind tractors! There were two I had to overtake this morning. The drive is about 25 mins but nothing like driving in Croydon. Much more open and farmy like!
The second strange thing was seeing rabbits in the school grounds! There was one hopping about outside my classroom and one in the playground as I left...I bet they will make themselves scarce once the pupils arrive back though!!
Madelyn had a great day. She went to the park, played on the swings, dropped Isi (the childminder's daughter) at nursery and got fussed by all the ladies there, crawled around all over the place, played with bubbles and sat in the bubble solution, waved and chatted to everyone! No wonder she crashed out straight away after her bottle!
All in all a busy but positive start to the week.
Lovely pic of the two of you! Glad you got on ok on your first days. Hope it continues long!
