Crying at school

didi was crying for an extra long period of time at school this morning, he was pretty attached to me even before we went to school.

He was up very early this morning and I asked him to catch some more sleep and of course he did not listen to me. I was mad at him and he knew that. When I came out of the bedroom to greet him, he had this guilty look on his face. At the same time, he glued to me and wouldn't let me go out of his sight. I think that's why he cried for so long after I left him at school - he probably was thinking "mami is mad at me and now she is leaving me here all by myself...". His sense of security was out of the window when I left his class and he was probably thinking mami is leaving for good. Kids these days are not just smarter, they are extra sensitive too.

While I picked him up, there were kids there who were still crying but didi was himself again. When he saw me, he was not too excited but was happy to see me with his Thomas the train bottle. Of course, I filled it up with the Yakult drink (mixed with lots of water) that he loves just to mend what happened this morning.

School will last three hours starting tomorrow. I hope he really settles in and be really happy there.
