School days



Sera returned to school last Thursday and she was really looking forward to it. I mean, really. She's having a great time at school and the teacher has reported that she 'participates' and 'plays very well with the other kids'. I'm glad, really. And I even sigh with relief because I was (and till today, still vividly remember) quite a terror in school, in nursery and kindergarten to be exact. Ask my mama, she'll tell you. At such a tender age, I was unable to conform to a typical class routine, and had refused to play with the girls in the class. I gravitated to the boys in the class, not because I liked them particularly but I was simply more comfortable with them. Blame it on the fact that I only played with my uncles when I was young. Yes, I was an absolute tom-boy and remember ganging up with the boys to bully the little girls in the class. Ok, it's not such a 'ha ha' matter but it did seem funny at that time. Anyway, that is why I'm more than relieved to learn from her teacher that she is a 'joy to have in the class'. Phew!

And here she's with Gaston, sitting outside our patio unperturbed by the 40-degree heat ...

... sharing cheerios. Sweet!
