The Honeymoon Period is over

LM is no longer in love with school, at least in the mornings.

For the past few days he has told me he doesn't want to go to school, usually invoking a cough (which admittedly he still has) or being too tired.  This morning was the worst because he tripped on his way in & scraped his knee.  Cue many tears & hanging on to Mummy's neck.  I finally extricated myself by depositing him in the book corner & promising to pick him up later.  I have learnt my lesson from last week & made sure I emphasised that it would be at the end of the day.  I made the mistake of being a bit vague about that before & at the end of the day LM asked "Why didn't you come & get me before the end Mummy?" even though he had just told me he had had a fun day!

I have enlisted the help of his best friend in cheering him up so hopefully this will be just a phase (a brief one please) - it breaks my heart to leave him when he's so sad. 

Although I do know I am easily replaced by stickle bricks.


After School Update
LM came running out, all smiles, to tell us he had done some lovely writing.  Oh & yes, he had played with the stickle bricks
