Sakinah

Back from holiday, Sakinah always refuses to go to the daycare. Tons of reasons she gives, and the worst part which I could not resist is the part when she starts crying. She is cuter when she is smiling, like in the picture below..:)



She said she wants to go to the other group (the bigger one). She is bored staying in the group she is in right now. The bigger group is at different building, where there is more space for her to play and run. The group she is in now situated at smaller building, and it's such a small house where she could not make herself invisible from the nurses there.

I went to talk to the head of the daycare, Maisa. She seems so supportive and fully understands what Sakinah is feeling. I even broke down in front of her! She's so positive, and looks like she has an excellent understanding towards children behavior. Well, that's why she's working there :)

Parents want the best for their children, and so do I. It breaks my heart when Sakinah cried this morning, hugging my legs and telling me not to leave her there. I could not go to the university, feeling sad and worried about Sakinah. Previously, going to the daycare is among the best and happiest thing for her. Now, the feeling is gone. Deep down in my heart, I truly understand what she's feeling. She wants a different environment, same age friends to be around her, she wants to be more independent.

My Sakinah is a big girl now, not my little baby anymore!
