A is for Advisory Board

Mommy has worked with all kinds of Boards - real estate, condominium corporations, service companies, retail, and even a central bank Monetary Board! So Mommy knows what good things a (good) Board can accomplish.

Thus, when Mommy was invited to join your child care's Advisory Board, Mommy accepted with alacrity ("Alacrity" means "with eagerness and enthusiasm". If Mommy asks for example, if you want to go to Zio and Zia's house, you say "yes" with alacrity).

Mommy believes this is a good opportunity for Mommy and Daddy to be more involved in your development and at the same time give back to the wonderful people in child care who are taking care of you.

PS: After the first meeting of the Advisory Board, Mommy checked on you to see what you were doing. You seemed to be enjoying yourself immensely!

T is for Toddler

We received a letter from childcare today. The letter said that the Child Care would like to start communication regarding your transitioning process from the Babies Section to the Toddler (Pre Kindy) Section.

You are growing up so fast, belloching.

A is for Artwork

We put up last night
Your works of art from childcare
How pleased you were
To see them in the morning!

Anton Lee @ 1.7

It has been a month and a half
Since you started with childcare
Monday to Friday
Eight hours a day

You are cool now
When Mommy and Daddy drop you
At childcare
You look like one happy child
When Daddy comes to collect you
Later.

You've matured so much
This month past
Quickly adapting
To this new lifestyle.

We are so proud of you
Bello.

B is for Bag

From Monday to Friday
He is your steady friend
Going with you
To childcare.

C is for Childcare

We started with childcare last Tuesday. Childcare is where Daddy and Mommy bring you to when they go to work. You see, we have moved to a new place where your Yaya cannot come with us. There are trained personnel at childcare who look after you and play with you while Mommy and Daddy are at work. There are lots of other kids there too you can play with and whose mommies and daddies are also at work.

You cried big fat tears when we left you at childcare last week. Mommy cried a lot too. This is not easy for us. Mommy rings up childcare during the day to ask how you are, if you look happy, if you have eaten, and whether you had taken a nap. When last week ended, you looked so exhausted and miserable with your runny nose and nasty cough.

Very soon, you’ll see, you will have fun at childcare. You will make new friends, play new games, and learn a lot of interesting things. It will also prepare you for school. When you are old enough to start with school, you will not be that boy crying for his mommy. You will be big, ready, and excited to tackle Kindy!
