Lila's first day of school
Today was Lila's first day of school. I know, I know. How quickly time flew by. I was nervous thinking how it would have gone. Would she be fine, would she cry her eyes out, would she be clingy?
She got out of the car with stroppy mood because I didn't let her take her teddy bear with her. I told her that he'll be safer in the car and will be waiting for her when she comes back from school. She wasn't happy about it but soon recovered because she saw she WAS actually going to the same school that Agastya went to. She got excited and Manuel held her hand going inside the classroom.
From the word go she was fine. She found where they hid tiny beads and was playing sorting out beads. That took up at least half an hour. Put some in her pocket, and the beads were everywhere when she jumped. Manuel showed her around and held her hands most of the times. She was fascinated with the glue for the arts and craft. Didn't really care much about sticking stuff on it, just playing with the glue mostly. Then it was time for snacks and she put a piece of banana, a piece of apple and some bread sticks. Ate the bread sticks but none of them banana and apple. Always excited about washing her hands, mostly happy because she didn't even need a step stool because the sink was low enough for her.
I even heard her copying what the other kids said when they did some activities in the classroom.
She only cried once because she got a bit of sand in her eyes when she played outside in the sand box. Almost ate some sand too. Played with the bike for a bit, then it was time to go home! She wasn't that happy when she had to give up the bike.
I told her that she's an extremely good girl with two thumbs up. She smiled and copied my two thumbs up.
Thanks to Manuel for making her first day easier! I think she was fine mostly because she keeps seeing Manuel was there. Familiar face that she's used to. Hope she'll be even better on Wednesday.
I felt like I've accomplished so much today. But it was all her doing it, not me. Strange feeling, that is. I need to stop rambling and tearing up.

GOOD LILA !!!
Hmmm when I left fay at school for the first day, she also not crying, not even wave at me...
feels like letting her go to someone else's arm...
no wonder our parents cried on our wedding ceremony hehehehe (not an appropriate analogy, isn't it? but most like it la)
Thumbs up for my sweet favourite little Lila :)
