I am now a school mum!!

I feel like a real mother now. Packing a lunchbox, getting everyone herded out the door by 8.45am, showered, dressed and teeth cleaned. Then doing the school-run! I will admit that I have longed to do the 'school run' - it's always epitomised motherhood to me, but well, after 2 days I thought 'this stinks!' Gone are the lazy mornings of staying in my pj's till playschool so I can have a shower without running the risk of someone dying in the short 10mins of personal hygiene....

Lachlan on his first day leaving the house for pre-prep.

He loves it (and so do I.) Hayden loves it too (having mummy all to himself) though occasionally he asks where Lachlan is. On the upside: the house is quieter, there isn't a constant running commentary, there's less mess, shopping is no longer stressful, I can duck into spotlight quickly again but.... I do miss him just a little bit (oh, who am I kidding? I don't miss him at all.) I love him to bits, I love having him at home with me but I love that he has progressed and is stepping out into the world. And I love that he did it independently without hanging onto me or crying. He put his bag into the locker, then skipped away down in the playground with a wave and 'bye mum. Have a good day.' Thanks Lachlan, you too. X
