on the way to school, baru bangun tidur dan belum mandi..hihi...it was around 7.30 in the morning and i had to wake him up..liat aja mukanya masih muka bantaL..


he had finished his peanut butter sandwich, now it's cheerios time!!..


arrived at the school..pointing at the car, didn't wanna go inside the building

Yesterday was quite an experience for Jibran, it was his first day of school..his first time being left with complete strangers...did he cry??..Of course he did..hehe..he already sensed what was about to happen when we just arrived in his school..didn't wanna let go of me. tapi akhirnya dia mau juga sih lepas dan main bola...but then he realized i wasn't anywhere near him and then he started screaming..padahal gue ada di deketnya cuma dia nggak nyadar..hehehe...i kissed him a quick goodbye, tell him to have fun and make lots of friends and that i'll be back in 3 hours. I went to the director office next to his classroom afterwards sambil ngintip2...and he was still crying..he was following his teacher everywhere she went, pointing at the door and screaming..MOMMMY..MOMMYY...huhuhu....kasiaaann....and then i left the school a few minutes later.

I went to borders, finished a book in one seating, Feng Shui in 5 minutes by Selena Summer, very2 interesting book...and then i called his school to check how he was doing..the director told me he was eating lunch...his menu was tuna casserole, corn and peaches...he was sitting next to Miss Sandy and she said he looked happy...i was so relieved. I went to LOWES after that to get a garage door opener...picked up my sister at her school and then went to memorial hospital metro station to pick up D cause he wanted to join us picked up Jibran...jadi abis itu jemput jibran..it was nap time..so the school was very quite...gelap dan cuma ada alunan musik classic aja and jibran was sitting in one of the corners with his teacher..hehehe..and then he screamed as soon as he saw me. Kata gurunya Jibran did okay for a first timer, he didn't cry for long after I left...but then he would cry again everytime he saw someone opened the door..maybe it reminded him about me leaving. He ate a little bit but his teacher couldn't get him to take a nap like the other kids..hehehe..i know this one will take a little while...

mommy and son reunited..=)


on the way home

Hari ini hari kedua..dari di depan gedungnya jibran udah nggak mau masuk..maunya di gendong, sampe masuk kelas pun nggak mau di turunin..hehe...jadinya di gendong sama Miss Sandy dan tetep nangis pas gue keluar. Now i'm online at the St. Louis Bread Company or a.k.a panera bread. I'm gonna pick him up in a few minutes..miss him soooo much..it feels weird not having him around...

Anyway, Jibran sekolahnya 2 kali seminggu aja..i've been looking for a day care since 2 weeks ago, i called every single day care in the yellow pages..pinginnya sih yang nationwide, but there is a long waiting list..day care lainnya kebanyakan cuma terima Full time..padahal gue maunya part time aja..sekalinya ada part time tapi 3 kali seminggu..i just want twice a week for now. jadi setelah telfon2..cuma ada 2 aja yang bisa di consider..one is a home day care, pertama nya sih gue bener2 nggak mau sama yang namanya home day care, but i know she lives in a nice neighbourhood..and she sounded nice over the phone, so i decided to check it out...it was allright i guess...tapi kurang sreg aja..abis kayanya activitynya kurang structured and the TV was on when i went there..dan waktu gue tanya apa TV nya selalu on or not dia bilangnya.."well not always, for example when it's meal time, the TV is off..when it's time for them to play outside, the TV is not on...when it's nap time, the TV is not on either"..yah iya lah..siapa juga yang mau nonton kalo lagi pada tidur dan main di luar..hehe..berarti kan other than that the tv will always be on kan.

anyway..akhir ketemu juga day care yang cocok..namanya 123 & ABC Academy, located just 2 minutes from our new house (if nothing happens, we'll move there next monday)..dan ada program yang 2 hari seminggu...pas banget kaan...gedung sekolahnya bagus, bersih..dan ada kelas2nya..Jibran masuk ke kelas 1.5 to 2 year olds...safety nya juga OK karena the entrance is locked all the time, jadi yang mau masuk harus pencet bell dulu. the kids seem happy there, directornya dan gurunya baik2..and they have the open door policy...jadi orang tua nya bisa stop by kapan aja kita mau. Kamis kemaren itu kita tour sekolahnya, and friday i came back to enroll him dan seninnya langsung mulai. Enaknya nih harinya kita bisa pilih kapan aja as long as it's twice a week. Mudah mudahan Jibran suka deh disana ya....
