The School starts!!

It's another beginning of year. The second year my Hunny~Bunny is in school.

What a mommy I am..??
I did not take any work leave for the first day of school as I am very confident that Adleena would be able to manage herself as she is only going up to Pre-School class from the Kinder class last year. I am of total confidence that she is independent and would be ok. So, the beloved Atuk (my Abah) sent her to school. That morning, according to her Nenek (my Mak), Adleena seemed to be nervous before leaving for school. She said she wanted to 'shissy', but nothing came out. Then she said she wanted to pass-motion, again not so 'productive'. "It was so obvious that she was nervous and got butterfly in her tummy before going to school" said the Nenek. [... and yet I was so confident of her].

Later, after school - she called me sounding very excited after meeting teachers and friends. But one final statement that banged in my head..."bila ibu nak datang sekolah Nina"... I thought to myself, obviously she saw parents sending her friends but for her case only her Atuk.. no Babah and no Ibu... Gosh! I felt very bad. Then, I said, see on the second day whether she would be ok. HHmmm another day, she came back home with the same question. I straightaway decided to just go to her school on the Wednesday morning. I can see the satisfaction in her eyes.. she was relieved that both her parents went to see her classroom, meet her teacher and see where she sits.
I told myself, it's the learning here, just dont assume too much.. A child is still a child. Attention is needed at all angle.. at all times. Children nowadays are very smart.. just dont pull that down, for you to regret sometime later.

Aqil... today is gonna be my Lil' Sunshine's first day at school. I have to take half day morning off for sending Aqil to SC's nursery. He would be there for a while before going for his class. We are afraid if he would cry as he has started to recognize people.
Well, I am very proud of Aqil. He is able to managed our expectations... he showed signs that he was about to cry when I was with him for a while with the nannies in the nursery. Luckily, only signs... he seemed to be ok when I left him a few minutes later. Anyway, he was distracted by so many movements and other babies and toddlers in there... he was occupied, in a sense.
God, give me the strength to persevere all these moments... with all these efforts that I am putting in. Please make Aqil the best of him.. Sempurnakan Aqil sesempurnanya Ya Allah.. dari segi tumbesarannya, perlakuannya dan semua derianya serta akalnya.

Next year is the challenge... two of my girls will be schooling!!! Can wait for that challenge...
