OK. strike that ( maybe) and rethink

The kids were up bright and early(ish) this morning ready to try a session at the little school group..Connor isnt well so we decided he wouldnt try it but for Soph all was going well until we arrived. On the way she'd been chatting about wanting to try it on her own and stuff anyway... We met two other mums who were lovely and introduced themselves and said they hoped mine would love it as much as their kids (promising start by anyones school gate experiences I think!)

Got through the door and she just crumpled, refused to stay sobbed and even the offer of one of the little girls birthday cakes wouldnt placate her.. she sobbed all the way home and said quite steadfastly she wanted to go to Wycliff ( the school further away)
Connor then said later he wanted to try Cross and Crown but not without Soph ARRGH !!!

The teacher was nice about it but it was cringeworthy with Soph sobbing, refusing to calm down ( from nowt to howling in about 0.6 seconds!) and knowing Soph she will refuse to try it now because she'll feel embarassed... so wycliff it will be then I guess, god knows whether we will be ok doing it or the impact it will have but with a bit of luck it means shes actually made a decision.
*shakes head*
Oh well, they are watching MrBeans Holiday while I pack and I try not to think too much about it all!

Poor Sophie, guess it was all so overwhelming in the end? Its hard knowing what to do for the best at times like this. Thinking of you (((hugs)))
