My four OT students arrived today, so work has ramped up to a new level as I've been busy sorting out their caseloads and putting them into classrooms. I'm about to crash on the couch to recover while my wonderful husband cooks pea and haloumi fritters for dinner. He took the day off today since I won't usually be working on Mondays.
The school was buzzing all day. The new Kindies all arrived for their big first day at school. Lots of photo moments out in front of the school sign. One of the mothers hung around outside her kid's classroom for the entire day because she was worried he might get upset without her. Her husband brought her lunch and a drink at lunchtime. It'll be interesting to see if she's still hanging around for that long by Thursday when I go to work again.
And now for two days off. Although there is plenty of thinking still to be done before Thursday....

Camped out all day????!?!!!! Wouldn't the embarrassment at least drive you home?
ALL DAY?!
Yep, for the whole day.
We are talking about a slightly...hmm....alternative community here so maybe there was a bit of overly-attached parenting involved ;)
I saw her following the little guy's class into the library, as the Kindy teacher was trying to encourage her to go (this was after lunch). No success...
Come on, Karen. I'm dying to know if she was still camped out today.
Gone by today, Deb. One woman did seem to turn up pretty early to collect her kid but I'm sure it was a different one from Monday's camper (the Monday woman had dreadlocks...).
Gee this working thing is a bit exhausting, isn't it? I'm craving those long ago days of having nothing much to do...
