A Scots mum has shared hilarious before and after photos of her daughter's first day of school - which saw the youngster completely floored by all the excitement of starting her journey in primary education.
Stacey McCullagh said she was "emotional but happy" to wave four-year-old Lyla off on her first day in primary one at St Mark's Primary School in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire on Wednesday.

Stacey told the Record: "I felt a bit of mixed emotions because Lyla is my youngest and so it's the last time I'll get to do the first day of primary school.
"I was excited for her to go in, though, because she hadn't stopped talking about it all summer. She kept saying she didn't want to go to nursery anymore, she was ready for school.
"I think if she had been upset, it would have been different for me."
Stacey and her older daughter, Lucy Ann, 17, picked Lyla up from school that day, with the child moaning the whole way home that she was "so tired".
When the family arrived at the house, Stacey realised she had lost her house keys, and so left Lyla and Lucy Ann on the drive for a few minutes while she went
