LOL at Faye catching dragonfly for you, so sweet of her!
Bangkok - eh, this country has never appear to be child friendly to me leh. its more for people who goes there for a short getaway and shopping spree. if you want to bring Faye, I honestly feel you won't like the place.
Rhyan @ Childcare
Haiz, was busy with Rhyan since last week. Before I start, would like to tell all mummies that if your tot walk in to the CC happily during visiting, it really doesn't mean he will adjust to CC that easily. once you try the CC for real, you will understand why i say that.
Rhyan is currently on 2 weeks trial at a CC for half day near nanny's place. I accompanied him on Day 1, he liked the place but cried big time (open! (gate), walk walk!) when the teacher confined the kids at a certain area at times for some lessons (singing / colouring etc). The teacher was nice enough to allow him to leave the area if he badly wanted to, their point being they feel he needs time to adjust though its also a need to tell him he need to stay at a certain area at a certain time.
On the 2nd day, I accompanied him but I hid outside the CC, and told him I went to work instead. I observed him and saw all was well. But, after I decided to move off to a nearby supermarket to get some stuff and return half an hour later, he was crying and looking for me.
On the 3rd day, I sent him to CC and went for work. I heard from nanny's hubby that Rhyan was crying when he went to peep at him in the morning. Rhyan saw him and cried even louder.
On the 4th day, he had a good time in school. the teacher commented he only cried a little bit when he wanted to leave the confined area but couldn't. But, he was willing to sing and dance with his friends, and sat down to do his work and ate his food.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that since the night of Day 3, he started crying for nanny's hb when we were almost reaching home every night. he would refused to come into our house and insisted he wants to go nanny's place to look for her hb, when we just returned from there. I have tried explaining to him that he can go there after class the next day but it didn't help.
I guess, it should be due to his attending childcare and adapting. However, I also somehow feel it could be coz he observed only nanny's hb can go and see him or "save" him when he is in CC. So, this could be the reason why he is so sticky to him now. But, he showed no sign of rejecting to go to CC in the morning. So, I am really confused.
Guess I would just have to monitor his progress this week and see if it improves. But, its really tiring at this point, to handle a crying tot that refuses to go home daily, at my doorstep.
If she keeps this up, I think it will not be so tough when #2 comes along.
