Today, we should celebrate. What for? You may ask? Well, for Ashlyn & Alex actually enjoyed school today. Yippie!
After a long weekend, I was worried that today would be a difficult drop off for Ashlyn & Alex. Ashlyn cried a little bit in the morning at home, but Alex still had no clue what was going on. Soon after we got into the car, and reasoned to her, she began to show Alex what a big sister she is, cux Alex realized we were sending them to school.
Ashlyn kept on telling Alex, “don’t worry, Baba & Mama will come pick us up later. When you wake up from your nap, and after you have diaper changed, Baba & Mama will be picking us up, don’t worry, no need to fear.” Today, Ashlyn really showed us that she accepted the fact that she needed to go to school, at least that what I believed to be, or hope to be.
The drop off for Ashlyn wasn’t as difficult as I have anticipated to be, maybe I expected the worse, it turned out to be OK, well, better than OK. Ashlyn still wasn’t ready to play with other kids in the playground, but Ms. Meagan asked her for a hug, she was willing to hug her, and of course, that’s when I kissed her goodbye and told her I will be back soon to pick her up. She didn’t cry, not even a tear.
Alex, I wasn’t sure, cux Baba dropped him off. I guess I need to update that part later.
From the IPTV today, both Ashlyn & Alex engaged in group activities, and Ashlyn told me tonight that they sang songs during circle time. She cut paper with sciossors, and my aunt told me when she picked her up, Ashlyn didn’t want to go, cux she hasn’t finished with her craft project (scissor cutting). As for Alex, he enjoyed the playing playdoh with Ms. Sally and the kids.
Don’t you think we should celebrate this big improvement? So proud of you Ashlyn & Alex!
