First day at school....05.01.2010

Funny how wrong you can be about situations…

Jade is a really outgoing, happy child who loves people and children, so I figured, hey school is going to be an easy milestone for her.

HOW WRONG WAS I???

We dropped her off the first day, and put her on the carpet with the toys and 3 other children and she seemed fine (note seemed), we left, there were no tears, she didn’t even realize that we have left….and that was jus the whole thing, she never “REALIZED” we left. I went about my day with peace in my heart, thinking my baby was doing great. I picked her up and got the shock of my life. When I asked the teacher how she was, her words were like ice cold water being poured over me :”Not good” – I was like WHAT?? She was fine when I left her?

So the next day, needless to say was not any better! By the 3rd day I have already spoken to my mom and my dad and told them I am rather going to take her out of school and get a Nanny to look after her. Luckily I decided to just have a chat with the Principle before doing it. She then explained to me, that Jade is just so use to all the attention all the time that she is just struggling to adjust to suddenly sharing attention with 9 other babies – put in nice words she is spoiled…..! WHAT?? MY CHILD SPOILED? NEVER!! Okay maybe a little….okay okay maybe a little bit too much…but how can you not? She is so easy to spoil!  The principle said I must just give it sometime, she is just strong willed but in the end she will be one of the children who will love school, because she loves friends and people! 

Since then it has improved a little everyday, she has started to play and today she even had all her food and she slept nice, so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I still can’t help feeling like a monster though….

“I hope you know how much I love you Jadie Pie and I am always there with you, no matter what!”

Then time to brag, her teacher says she is so clever, she has never met a baby her age that can talk so well, she says about everything after you! :-) She is really really impressed and amazed with her! :-) WELL DONE JADIE, MAMMA IS JUST AS PROUD OF YOU!!!

Some photo’s of the first day of school…
