Getting nervous

6 Sep

A week tomorrow, Meggy will start proper school for the first time.

Naomi and I are both getting a bit nervous. I know its a typical reaction to any parent when their child starts school (I remember my stomach churning when Anthony first went) but its excaserbated in this case by Megans’ communication difficulties. For the last 4 and a half years we’ve been her ‘translators’ and now she’s going off without us. Intellectually I know the school are more than capable and she has enough extra support to allow her to cope but emotionally its hard not to picture the worst. We’ve all fought so long to get to this stage and now here I am getting scared about it.
