This is part of the daddy's reporting since the beginning of the year, letting me know of Little Bomber's behave in the morning when he sent her to childcare center. I've resume full time working scheme and no longer able to do the sending-the-kids-to-school, witness their (either) cheeky face or grumpy face, give a hug and bid goodbye. But the daddy did one little but brilliant initiative by reporting the situation via WA (What’s App) message, almost everyday. In a line or two, he would shared with me his joy if Bomber didn't bomb him, or his achievement of handling an outburst. Sometime, I felt my presence with them and mentioned the morning incident unconciously during our dinner chatting, and Bomber would asked, "how did you know? You were not there?" Hmmm...

She later realised that the WA conversation (between mummy and daddy) in daddy's phone containing many of her mornings' picture...

It will be less than two months for Little Bomber’s graduation day of her preschool segment of her life, I am counting down. My last baby is growing up, less babyfat, and begins to behave like her jiejie, less only-mama-know-what-or-why of her, less responsive, less clingy… Y'know, being a parent of a spirited child, I never get to escape from her sight, her call, her sensing, even when she was an infant, regardless how I hide myself busying in the kitchen, or away into dreamland in the middle of the night. She always on a pressing need, and later, I learnt that she possesses personality traits that were needed guides and patience. The intensity inside her isn't able to be handled by any conventional parenting. As a result, I became pretty protective towards her. In retrospective, changing her from one environment to another nerved me a lot, let alone learning environment where she would be left alone without familiar faces around her. Her adaptability is slow and traumatising her is the last thing we want.
This childcare center was her third learning environment, within two years, one that was very different from the previous two. This was her first time staying in a learning environment from morning till late afternoon. But because the timing of the commencement of this new childcare center was so coincide when the babysitter quitted on her, I said yes without hesitation to whoever called me for the confirmation to take up one place in the N2 class. Nerve wracking I was on the first day to company her in this new center(she didn't weep at all until end of the day), till she is now happily wake up and heading to class without me, we can tell, the environment and the people around her have been doing wonderful job to grow her enthusiastic in learning and maintaining her exuberant personality. In addition to regular academical lessons, the center instil life learning and gratitude. Children were brought to many outdoor not just for fun playing but also learn to give of themselves. Slow adaptability? Don't seem like it! She is behaving brave in new places. Here's one effort from the center to promote environmental protection as a form to celebrate Children's Day, which blow my mind! It is unconventional way to celebrate children but it is so meaningful. Here's another extra effort from the center to thank teachers on Teachers' Day, till many teachers were moved to tears.
Inevitably, it is a remarkable two and a half years journey all together, with the center, the teachers, and her little mates. I think I feel more melancholy than her.

It's always bitter sweet watching our kids grow up, especially when they enter primary school. Must learn to savour it as long as we can...
