Chronicles of Dhriti

And then the world changed....

Yes, Dhriti started going to school...play school nevertheless, but a sea-change in our lifes...
It's been more than a week since she started going to the school...and no I am not the kind who tries to remember milestones, keeps track of dates etc...aren't we keeping track of those in our work-lifes anyways???!!!!

So....it was not as we predicted....we thought she would enjoy going to school....enjoy the atmosphere there....never want to come back and all that...but no...she was like any other kid...who cried when I left her in the school...
I stayed with her in the class for about 2 days..and then left her on own for another 2 days...that was when she cried...

I had a very very very tough time convincing her that it was okay to leave her in school and mummies are not allowed to be with the children in the school...
And finally as if by miracle, the next day..she went to the school...and waved goodbye and said, "Wait for me outside"...!!!!

And no, I am not celebrating yet, I've just had the toughest day getting her ready to school and no I am not celebrating..

But one thing I've decided..confirmed is "Yes, my daughter is very very VERY unpredictable" and no I don't love challenges anymore :(
