My little darling, barely 2 years and 2 weeks old, went to school yesterday!
It was play school and she was truly an angel. She slipped in past other children in the queue, got her temperature taken, her hands and feet and mouth checked and ran off to the class. She called out to us a few times, but then stayed on wide eyed, participating in the activities. She clapped her hands, stood up, tried to climb on some chairs, did some colouring and paid attention when the teacher read to her. other children took turns to cry for their mums, but not my darling. Then, it was five minutes more to the end of class. The teacher had helped the kids put on their shoes... and she saw me peeping at her through the glass window! her lower lips quivered.. her eyes pooled, one minute later she was wailing harder than any of the other children!!!!!! my poor darling - it must have suddenly struck her that she was all alone in that big class without her mum and her grandmother. I berate myself for showing my face to her.
