little PJ goes to school!

Little PJ enrolled into the infant care on 1 Sep. Her mama had been having separation anxiety since don't know when and had wished that the day wouldn't come come quickly. But when the time came, I still had to let her go.


                                             Happy to go to school

When we reached the school, she was quickly distracted by the big play area, many toys and little friends and immediately walked off to play. I stayed aside to watch her and I was pretty glad that she didn't have any separation anxiety.

One more scoop please!

Teacher said she got into this toy on her own

She didn't have any problems playing and eating, nor with the teachers whom she saw for the first time. But napping was a huge struggle. She cried and cried and walked around in the room, refusing to lie down on the mattress. The teachers couldn't do anything and had to go on to making other kids nap. So I stayed in the room with her. When she finally relented, tears and mucus was all over her face. After that, I left the infant care to do some shopping. When I returned to the infant care at 4+pm, she was already awake and when she saw me, she wailed.

Mama, carry me!!

She only napped for 45min, which explains her cranky mode. Well, other than the napping struggle, I guess she was not too bad for the first day. She warmed up to the teachers quickly, had many toys to play and little friends to be with.

So for the second day, I just dropped her in school and left. When I went back to check at 1+pm (that's the napping time), teacher was trying to make her nap. So I quickly exited before she saw me. She didn't nap for long, just 45min again.

For the third day, she didn't nap at all!! I don't know what happened, but I do understand the difficulty of making this curious little girl nap. Just got to make do with it. She was so so so tired that she zonked out while on the way back home.

zzZzzZz...

Now is the second week that she is there. The Hubs will drop her off and pick her up every day. I hope the napping for my little girl will get better, and she will remain strong and healthy. (Heard too many horror stories about kids falling sick in childcare).
