Eve's first full week at nursery school

I must say that this week seems to have gone quicker than I thought it would. We've had more tears from both me and Eve whilst we try to get over missing each other each day.  Thankfully Daddy has been on half term so he's been making us laugh by dancing around the kitchen and cooking us tasty meals. 

Eve clings to us when we drop her off or collect her from nursery, and seems to be worried that we're going to leave her there forever. I think she's getting the hang of it though, the nursery say that after the initial 10 minutes of tears she then proceeds to have a very enjoyable day.

They've taken her to the park this week on an outing with the other babies, and she's also done some painting and had fun with cotton wool, glitter and hair gel. 

Two big results of her first week at nursery: yesterday at breakfast Eve started feeding herself her Ready brek with a spoon, and can now clap properly as well. We have been teaching her to clap for about a month and she was pushing her hands together but not quite with the right effect.  Obviously being around the other children is paying off already. Proud moments for me and Sam!

Eve seems to be getting into a sleeping routine now too, which is great for me. She only wakes once a night at 12.30 and then wakes up in the morning about 6am. She naps well in the day at nursery, and seems to be really tired at the end of the day's activities. I am so relieved that I can now get enough sleep and function at work. She is such a little wonder.
