Eanna @ Explorations Summer Classes

It was Eanna's first day at Explorations Preschool Summer Class Program, and Hubby, Eanna, and I were very excited! I was even thinking about it and preparing her stuff yesterday. Hahaha.

We went there around 30 minutes earlier than her start of class, because I knew that parking is really bad there. True enough, when we arrived, only a couple of parking spaces were left.



There were lots of kids, yayas, and parents and I had this sudden rush of nervousness and another bout of excitement. Will Eanna behave? Will I be able to leave her alone in her class?




Turned out that Eanna was at her best the whole time. She played in the water area table, painted, played "Mommy," finished her ABC activity board, etc etc. One of the teachers asked me if Eanna's already comfortable being left alone, and I told her that I'm not sure, but we'll try. I went to Eanna, kissed her and told her that Mama will go out. She bade me goodbye and I left. She didn't cry or anything.






I felt happy and sad at the same time. Happy, because my daughter was such a dalring inside and very independent. Sad, because, well, because of her independence. She's ok without Mama. *Huhuhu* No drama when I left the room. She just played and went on with her activities.

Her yaya, just stayed outside the classroom, while I went inside the main area to give news to my darling husband (there was internet so we were able to Skype and all). Then the kids went out to play. Yaya told me that the little lady was very well behaved, but looked for me during "circle time" when kids formed a circle and had dialogues with the teacher. I think it wasn't because of separation anxiety. It was more like she saw kids with either yaya or parent (yep, she was the only one who was left without company) she looked for me to be beside her too. It was just yaya who went in.

After their playtime was their rest time, a time to relax and calm down after a lot of activities. While other kids still played (and cried and bawled their eyes out hahaha), the little lady was just laid on her mattress, embraced her Tigger toy, and relaxed.



The teacher told me that she's amazed at Eanna's independence and her well-behaved self. My goodness, was I the proudest parent in the world hahaha.

After rest time was story time, and still with energy, Eanna still participated and answered questions from the teacher.



I love it. I love seeing her happy, enjoying her activities, knowing that she's growing up to become a fine young girl.

Again, happy and sad. Happy because of all the wonderful things. Sad, because, well, of all the wonderful things. I should shrug the sadness off though. She'll always be my little baby girl.
