Uh my daughter went back to to her school. Fine. Uh my son started school this week for the first time. No crash anymore, no more nursery. Now he's gone to school. I mean it's kind of preschool, but it is different. It is still school, and he's in a school with a bunch of kids he's never met before, teachers he doesn't know. Um, and this w this is his second day. And this morning I dropped him off at school. I stayed with him in the classroom for about fifteen minutes, and he was glued to me. He was stuck to me like glue. Admittedly, the school is fantastic, the classroom Room is lovely, there are loads of different things, all sorts of activities and books and pens and pencils, and it's just a really cute place with a lovely atmosphere, lots of toys that he was playing with, just lining up all these different cars.

It's heartbreaking. But um you know, that's that's all part of life, isn't it? Do you remember your first day at school? Do you remember I remember my first day at primary school?
