A New Breakthrough at 38 Months!

It had been a difficult 2 weeks for Le Xuan and of course the rest of the family. 

Being timid by nature, Le Xuan was traumatized ever since she started school. She cried so terribly whenever we wanted to help her change into her uniform. She would beg us not to bring her to school.  She would start to get cranky when the sky turned dark, and refused to bathe or sleep, knowing that we would bring her to school again the very next day. We had to carry and pull her down the car when dear drove us to her school in the morning, and she would get hysterical when the school door opened.  This was the first time ever since she's born that she got so hysterical and we could hear her crying and screaming from outside the classroom. It was really stressful and heartbreaking for me to see my beloved princess struggling during this period, but I had to hide my feelings in front of her and tried my best to assure and comfort her.  

Mum and I felt so helpless every time we got chased out of the classroom, and had to leave darling screaming and crying in class. I felt even more uneasy when I had no chance to talk to the teachers after school to find out about Le Xuan's progress in class. I guess motherhood has really changed me.  Instead of brushing this matter off, I went to see the principal and told her how helpless I felt not being able to understand the progress of my child in class. Fortunately, the principal was quite reassuring and even brought me and mum to another room where we could see how Le Xuan was doing in class, and even promised us to bring Le Xuan into class every morning and stay with her for a while before we leave. 

The day came when Le Xuan gave us a pleasant surprise. It was also the day when she turned 38 months and after been through 2 weeks of school.  When mum was carrying her and walking towards the school door, she requested to come down and go in by herself.  She went into class, greeted the teacher and did not cry anymore! That was a really touching and proud moment for us. My little princess seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.  It was no longer a chore for us to bring her to school in the morning now, although she would still question why mummy or por por cannot join her in school. But I believe things will get better and my princess will enjoy going to school every day, fighting!! :)
