The Day I Felt (and looked?) Like A Parent

Today is my baby sister's first full day of pre-school. After going for only an hour on Monday (before she stopped moving and froze) and another on Tuesday (before she started crying), I had to take leave today and asked M to replace teaching morning classes for me so I could send her, keep her company and probably be able to make her stay at least until 12.

But she didn't want to let go of my hand.

She didn't repeat what her teacher taught.

She didn't want to color the apples, balls and buses.

She kept holding on to my hand tighter and tighter.

She didn't want to eat her sandwich during snack break.

Arghhh, tensionnyaaaa!!!

Came 10am: I left her there, nangis pun nangis lah. Sampai bila tak nak pergi sekolah. Aku pun nak pergi cuci rambut ada kerja lain.

Tapi bila ambik balik pukul 12, wahhh.. happy pulak! Siap berpegang tangan dengan budak nama Johan Amirul yang mak dia sampai tiga minit lepas aku sampai. Apa nak jadik budak-budak zaman sekarang..

Aaaaaanyway, today is also her birthday.

But she doesn't know it.

As we want to have it celebrated on Sunday; with clowns, balloons, BBQ by the poolside and all.

If I were to have given her my RM180 spent over Barbie goods comprising a Barbie house, two Barbies with changable and mini United Colour of Benetton clothes, tops, jeans and shoes (kawaii tak ingat!) today, lagi lah dia tak nak pergi sekolah tadi dan esok kan?

But deep within my hair heart,

(this was when I forgot to comb her hair)

Happy birthday Syazana Izzati and you always gonna be my Baby even when you're 5, 15 or 50. Love you more than I love myself sometimes and I spent most of my paycheck on you most of the time and sesape datang rumah aku sebelum Ahad ni, jangan gatal-gatal wish her a happy birthday pulak!

Happy Besday adik Ninie yg comei (wish kat sini takper kan?)!!! She's sooo darn cute, geramnyer! Today's my son's 1st birthday and we're gonna celebrate it on Sunday too.

About crying first few days at preschool, fret not...my daughter cried for a whole 1 mth when she started preschool at 4. Teachers wud normally ask us to leave them coz it's really for the better. Deorang ni lbh manja when they see familiar faces around but once we leave, they'll learn to pujuk diri sendiri.
