Hi all,
Just wanted to share with you Millie's first day at nursery as quite a big milestone for us, all considered.
DSN had delivered training sessions to the teachers in the time leading up to this and we went for an introductory visit a couple of weeks back. Care plan devised etc
Fruit and milk were out this morning to just graze on which a fair few kids were doing from the moment they got there. Had to stress set time for Millie, still would be digesting breakfast if too early etc. So did BGs a bit later together, Millie keen for mummy to do them rather than these strangers but got around it with me holding her finger and teacher pricking it - all fine. Bolussed after she had eaten so knew for certain what to cover with the insulin (not ideal I know!) Lots of little people watching the event 😱 Stressed nothing else for her to eat after that, not good for her to graze and doesn't know any different anyway (snacks not an everyday occurance at home)
I left after that as she was just shadowing me, and collected her before lunch. She said she had a nice time but was a bit tearful by the time we got home, bit overwhelmed by it all. Been over a year since she was with childminder so big change for her. She did really well. 🙂 Gone for a nap now. Bit overwhelmed myself!!
BGs not too bad at 8.5 pre lunch given snack and delayed bolus.
Tomorrow they are making fondant hedgehogs 😱 luckily to bring home. Advised a careful eye over preparation - sneaky little hands in mouths
I will continue to be present for snack until teachers happy to take lead.
Hopefully will all go relatively smoothly for all of us !
