Pre-schooler No.2


My Little Princess might soon be going to pre-school. We made this momentous decision yesterday. The fact is she feels upset when Ash goes away every morning - she has been so accustomed to having him around, sometimes fighting, sometimes playing. She puts on her shoes every morning hoping she can go out too. Today I had to placate her with some songs from the Malayalam movie Classmates on Raaga.com while I got some chores done. (Thank you Bino, for introducing us to some free music on the web though the Citibank ad in the beginning is an irritant.) She loves to sway her head to Kattadi thanalum....
We will put her in the playschool that Ash went to until recently. The two Malloo ladies who run the place are nice though the place is a bit cramped for space. I am sure she will enjoy the company and the rhymes sessions. And I think she will be faster than Ash in speaking. The other day she pulled out her ear ring and said, Appa, kamma! And she says kai when she wants her hands washed.
But I am still struggling with the toilet training part. After a nap/early morning, she is ready to use the potty seat but at other times she forgets to warn us, with disastrous consequnces on the floor, bed/chair, and sometimes on ourselves.
I would have liked her to join school after she turned two but in the present circumstances school might be better idea. So from July 1, Mira can add her share to the morning rush.
