Second day at school and more

San's second day at school was better than we expected. She ate two bites of her lunch (big progress!), napped for 45 minutes (wow!), and let the teacher paint her hands and take the prints. :-)

Me: So, what did you do today?
San: Roi-Roi (Cried).
Me: What else?
San: Soi-Soi (Slept)
Me: What more?
San: Books read.
Me: And?
San: Cycle.
Me: What did the teacher do?
San: Diaper change.
Me: Hmm, what else?
San: Shush!

:-D

I wonder how much time she'd take to get comfortable with the school cuz' she goes only two days a week. She'd at least know that it's a part of the routine. :-)

==========================================

School stuff aside, she's getting better at the pretend play. She now feeds me a variety of stuff (all imaginary) and makes sure that I chew it! She loves to take her baby doll for a ride in the stroller, feed her, and change her diaper (complete with a changing pad and wipes).

And she still loves to clean up, trash stuff, and make sure that the trash can is locked at all times. :D

Now that she's started greeting her Papa dear with 'Ola!' instead of 'Hello', he wants her to stop watching Dora and switch back to Elmo and Barney. :-D

First day at school

And today was it - San's first day at school! Preschool, to be precise. :)

Choosing a school for her wasn't tough, and neither was the task of preparing her for school. Cuz', thanks to Dora, she loves to carry a backpack, and likes everything that has a princess or a fairy on it. 

When we took a tour of the school, she loved the class, the kids, the zebra toy, the slide... but the first day at school always brings a different story! We were told to drop her off in the class and disappear! And we did. Our disappearance act wasn't tough cuz' she didn't cry at that time. We left her with a surprised (read shocked) look on her face. She looked okay, sipping from her bottle, when we finally left school.

Five hours without her at home felt like ten. Time crawled. The silence was scary! And then, we were back to school at 2. I peeped in to the class and found her sitting quietly with others and listening to their teacher. She happened to look at me and that was it - she burst into tears... aww! We hugged, and then she happily told me that the teacher changed her diaper. :) I was glad that she told me something! Yup, she did cry off and on while in school, didn't eat at all, and didn't sleep. But she'll be okay.... soon! Phew! :-)
