Missed posting yesterday, big surprise! Dd was out at nursery then straight on to a party – she must have had a good time as she didn’t want to see me when I arrived to pick her up. Writing the letter to cancel her nursery place and still agonising about it – while she says that she doesn’t want to go and she sometimes cries when I drop her off, I know that she loves several of the children there – yesterday she’d legged it into the playground before I’d finished saying hello to the staff.

I’m going to have to work hard to offer her alternatives – I’m aware of the arguments that she should amuse herself to a certain extent, but she is used to fun and playmates laid on two days a week, so it may take some time to get over that.

Hohum.
