Day 2 Year 1

The twins were excited to go back to school yesterday. I printed off a couple of holiday pics tohelp Hannah communicate what she had been up to - she chose them so they were all pretty much of her at the beach! I wrote a note in the Day Book for her new teacher, packed their bags and hats. Just as we were leaving Hannah got her ipad to take. Now it wasn't my idea to take it on the very first day as I know how hectic that day is but I didn't want to disappoint her especially when she'd been told that it was for school - so into the bag it went. Unfortunately her teacher was really sick and had to go home early but reports from the spec ed teacher were that she had a good day and was siting copying from the board without assistance when she went in to help. Her old Kindy teacher chatted with her while she was on playground duty. When i picked her up the first thing she said as 'want to lie down' so she was clearly buggered. She settled in front of the tv and was sleep by 8pm.
Kit had had a good day catching up with the to her kids and getting to know his knew teacher.
Neither slept well last night - I think that their minds were probably racing with everything and it was stinking hot which doens't help. Phi was reading to Kit int he middle of the night to help him get back to sleep and Hannah ended up in my bed. At one stage I felt her and couldn't tell whether she had a fever or if it was just because it was so hot. I moved her closer to the fan. She seemed ok temperature wise this morning. She didn't want to go to school though. We were clearly told that she wanted to stay home.
Once we were at school she cried and kept looking down. Her friend Zachary tried to help her but she wasn't responsive. Then her friend Genevieve tried to help her and again Hannah wasn't giving much away. She was clutching her Maggie doll (stuffed Maggie of the Simpsons) and I'm pretty sure she was wishing she was back in kindy. She wasn't the only one there was a fair bit of chaos on the Year 1 line this morning and at least 4 kids crying... Her teacher was back on deck and looking great so fingers crossed she has a better day. I have to pick her up a bit early for a podiatry appointment anyhow - I have neglected her orthotics dreadfully the last 2 years and am hoping to do better this year by changing to a place that is nearer the school.
