Sophie turned 18 months old on the 12th.
i had been taking her to nursery in church weeks before so she could get used to it, and i thought she was doing fine, she was a little timid at first but by the second hour she was playing with the toys and having her snack. I will admit i was scared to leave her, not because she would cry but because she is a spoiled little princess, she thinks that by crying mommy will grant all her wishes. Maybe Yes! well i do sometimes, but at home, and i didn't think it would be like that at any other place.
The first time i left her by herself she didn't even notice i walked out. she was playing with the puzzles and the books, so i walked out to go to my class, and i came back to check on her after the class was over, the sister in charge said, " Sophie is doing great, she hasn't cried, but she's just not being ladylike." I was like " Oh, really? (acting surprised) I mean what could i do at that point? so i just left and hoped she would stop scratching and hitting people.
Eventually she did. i guess she realized that if you scratch mom you go to time out but if you scratch kids in nursery, no one does anything, so what's the point? i don't get any attention.!
I Usually put her in her crib for time out and close the door and i leave her there for a minute and a half, and then i go get her. She seriously cries her eyes out, till i come get her then everything is alright.Brat.
Last week i had to sit in nursery with her for a few minutes, then when she saw me stand she would grab my skirt and pull me down so i sat down again and waited a couple more minutes. I finally decided to leave, " she will cry anyway" i thought. And she did. And it broke my heart when i saw Her because she looked so sad and it was too hurtful,, like her saying "Mommy please DON'T go. Don't leave me". i wanted to go back and stay with her , but i had to be a grown up mom, and I left.
I came to check on her, and she seemed fine, they said she was kinda sad or tired, she wasn't being her usual smiley self. So i guessed she was tired.
I picked her up after the class was over and she ran up to my arms like two lovers in a movie at the airport, i imagined it just like that. But much better, because it was my lil bit running up to me. They were all holding hands playing ring around the rosie pocket full of posies...and she saw me and it was like her world turned upside down for a second. Oh how i LOVE her.
I will take pictures of her next time with her cute dress, i just have to find my camera's charger.LoL.
