Well after recent major disruption we finally got to the point of my son ready in his new uniform to start his new school when I get a call from his transport. I'd already spoken to the driver Monday and advised the school had text start date today aswell as telling me this when we went in for transition day. Driver says they are starting tomorrow. I phone the school to triple check and told no today. I look at my son all ready and nervous and think I so wish he hadn't been put through all this disruption, his nervous enough. Finally after more calls the driver accepts it today. Escort arrives (totally new person never seen before) and says so I drop him back here (home) arghhhhhhhhh. I take a deep breath and say no every evening its the childminder I think just above everyone in the country knows this now! I write it down again for him. Off they go. I now get a phonecall she thinks his the only one in the unit. I debate whether to collect him or let him stay thinking he get chance for a bit of one to one to settle in I don't know. Wish these things could run smoothly feel its been a total disaster.
Anyway finally finally my beautiful boy has made that first step into secondary school. I hope and pray we can finally get back into a routine and he settles well. Its certainly been a challange to get to this point! Forgive my venting, its teething problems and I'm not gonna complain outside of here as I said before I don't want to be fighting every battle, some you just got to let go. But oh the frustration at how all thats being going on last weeks has totally disrupted my son during a time of great change.
Still I will continue to do all I can to minimise the impact of lack of communication by others and praise him for how well his coped with all of this.
