1st day at Pat's Schoolhouse, Halifax

We started talking to her about her new school last night, trying to get her excited about it. Hoping that it'll help her settle in a lot faster.
Mummy accompanied her this morning. First stop was the playground, initially she seemed a little hesitant, but soon warmed up...just a little bit. Her teacher was Miss Belle, who was on-hand to befriend her.
According to Viv, she participated in the class activities and even sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in mandarin. And for lunch, she had two helpings of rice and soup. Shower time wasn't too good, I could hear her cries when I brought Viv's lunch. After her shower, Miss Belle and Viv, brought Ash to the sleeping room, gave her milk and patted her to sleep. When she woke, she then spent the rest of the afternoon without mummy's presence, which is a huge improvement over her time at Katong.
Tomorrow is daddy's turn to accompany her.....hopefully I don't mess it up.
