I was waiting for this day since we enrolled our little girl last May. I even filed for a leave to ensure that I will accompany her on her 1st day. We've decided to let her go to school this early since we want to take advantage of the fact that at this stage her mind still works like a sponge, absorbing lots of things quickly.
A lot may roll their eyes and even comment why we are sending her this early to school. For me, the answer is simple. Education is something parents' should invest on. And at this stage, toddlers still think that school is all about fun and play. So, why not take that as an opportunity to immerse your child to learning?
Anyway...
The day started not so great for my little girl. She woke up with a "sumpong", probably due to the fact that she have been crying her eyes out last night.
I let her watch TV and play for a few minutes and told her to eat before taking a bath. It's a good thing my mom cooked her favorite "sinigang". After eating, we took a bath together and I dressed her up. It took us about an hour to get ready.
We finally arrived in school 10 minutes earlier. There were already kids waiting outside. When the teacher called the kids inside, I accompanied Jenika to the door and told her that we will wait for her outside. Amazingly, she didn't cry! Yay! It was a good thing because when she had her trial class last summer, she cried before going inside.
The class lasted for an hour, since it was the first day. The teacher went outside and gave us some details on what happened inside the class.

I was so happy for my little girl and a bit sad at the same time. My baby is growing up fast and soon, she will be on her own. I just wish she would grow up to be a good girl.
