Well today is Kians first day at nursery. We dropped him of at 7.30am and he took to Kim(the Nursery leader) instantly, he was happy sat on the floor with her playing and don`t think he noticed us at all!!! He seemed ok when we left which was good, and the staff are brilliant.Must admit,I did cry when we got in the car. Feel like my 'job' is over and it`s someone else`s turn!! I know that`s not true, I`m still his mum and will do things with him but it`s what it feels like. Chris has gone back to work today too so I`m home alone and the house has never been so quiet! Have tidied up, put washing on and even sat smelling his PJs(pathetic I know) May have to pop next door to see Alison as her little boy is same age as Kian lol. Was going to pop into town but weathers not great at the moment!!! Can`t wait till 5.30pm when we pick him up!! xxxx

kerry i work in the baby unit of a nursery (am about to go to work) he will b fine :-) the staff will b geared to making sure u r ok to, as well as the child out of interest ............. r u going bak to work ? will look at thread later as im of to work now xxx

Lou, I go back to work a week today.Wanted to get him settled in nursery before I went back.He is in the baby unit and the staff are lovely,but I miss him already!! xxxx

kerry thats a good idea getting him settled first then at least if need b they can fone u to go early also means that ur not spending ur first day bak at work worrying bout him in his first day at nursery xx

If its any consolation Kerry, I feel abit lonely today too. My baby has just gone on holiday for 3 weeks, on a tour around all the Arab countries. I miss him already, I hope he is alright, he is only 33 years old! ! It stays with you forever ! You are now a MUMMY! Deanna :-0)

Well done Kerry. the first day is the worst. My daughter started nursery at 18 months and we have not had a single day of tears from her (I cried the first couple of times) She is 4 this month and I think the first tears will come in the summer when she finishes nursery to start 'big school'. Hope your day goes well. Enjoy your week off!! Sarah x

Kerry,It happened to me many ,many years ago,and i am male ,alone in the house ,my wife away with her mum ,and me home on leave ,and in the house on my own.You are feeling low ,but a bit proud too i imagine,and you sound like the normal ,loving mum,i'm sure you are, spread your wings too ,in the short time you have to yourself each day,the bairn will be fine.Fred.Ptfg.&a&g&s.

Hi Kerry, Did you have a good hol? I remember the first day i left my daughter at nursery- like you i felt all alone-the first thing i did after leaving her was to go home and cry. The next thing i did was to `phone and make sure she was o.k. and was told she was loving playing with the other children there- when i went to pick her up she didn`t want to come home and it was the same for some of the other mums so we got together and had a coffee now and again- we still meet now and again -that day was 9years ago. Thinking of you, Lizz xx

Lizz, I did have a good holiday. Thank you for asking!! I think I may phone!!Just to see how he is!!! I`m just glad I`m not back at work as like a few of you said I`d be worried about him!! I guess with the house empty, I can try and see if my uniform still fits me LOL, I know for a fact my No1s don`t, but will be fun trying!!! Just trying to keep busy lol xxxx

Aw Kerry Know how you feel but in a different way---grand daughter too old to be taken out on day trip's with us!!!! Glad you had a good holiday and how is the ear?? Ann

LOL the ear is better, still some pain and weeping but not as bad as what is was.Thank you for asking Anne. xxxx

Well have just rang the nursery!! He is fine,he`s had a little nap and Kim says he`s smiling at everyone lol!! He always smiles at blonde ladies more too!!!!

Hello, Kerry. Only a few hours and he'll be back again. That's good. At least you know you can come here and won't be alone. take care :-) Joy

I can still remember how it felt 30 years ago now. I cried for days. He will still need you a lot but in a different way now. Mine still needs me now and again and he's 35, married and a father himself. Jo.

kerry hope it all went well for u and ur baby today :-)

It went great.They loved him and he loved it, he was all smiles all day!!! xxxx
