Today is the first day at a new school for Izzie. What was I thinking? I wasn’t even prepared that she might need us to be there emotionally as she adapts to a new environment. It was just another day when B drops her off in school. We both didn’t take leave like how we did when she first joined the previous childcare. She didn’t cry and was happy to be in school. This time however, she was crying on and off at the slightest things. B had to stay with her for an hour and slowly made his way to work when Izzie wasn’t paying attention and was more engaged in school activities. 

When I picked Izzie up, she was happily watching nursery rhyme video on the projector screen. She did somewhat like “complain/whine/cry” on the way home. 

I hope she adjusts well to her new school over the next few days. Babe, mommy is so proud of you for being so brave on day 1. 
A conversation I had with her after her bath. 

Me: Izzie, do you have new friends today?

Izzie: Yes

Me: How many friends do you have?

Izzie: 1

Me: What is his/her name?

Izzie: Isabel
