First Day at Childcare 15 Mar '10

Finally the day which I have been dreading has arrived. We sent her to the childcare centre but I went with a heavy heart. She probably did not know what she was in for, so she was so cheerful along the way.

When we reached there, unluckily there were many kids in her group crying, and I guessed that frightened her. When we let her into the classroom and close the door, she realised that something was wrong and started crying. In the end, I let myself into the classroom and accompanied her. When the person in charge came to tell me that I have to let go, otherwise Ashlynn would not be able to bound with the teachers, I started crying too. It was so embarrassing.

I kept asking myself why I had to put her to this ordeal. Even asked daddy if we should get a maid instead and send her to a 2-3 hours playgroup instead of a full-day childcare.

We went back to pick her up at noon, after her lunch. She has stopped crying already. We were told by the teacher that she ate half a bowl of rice and 5-6 cubes of papaya. I fed her a bit more porridge when we reached home since I have already cooked.

She was so cheerful when we set off.

Waiting for daddy to ta bao our lunch home. I thought her eyes looked sad.
