Today was the 2nd day Mimi went to school. She was a bit tired in the morning and woke up late. I was worried at first that there might be some resistance but to my surprise she was very cooperative and looks forward going to school. Vincent drove us there and I parted with her outside her classroom. She sensed that I was leaving and cling onto me. Her teacher came over and carry her into the class and she put up struggles. I quickly hide behind the window to see what's going to happen.....A few seconds went by and I didn't heard any crying. I peeked again into the class and saw that the teacher was still carrying her and she was observing her friends playing. What a relief. I took the opportunity to went out of the campus for my breakfast with Vincent before returning back to stay there for the rest of the day.
When I came back, I saw that the teachers are preparing them for a walk around the campus with their lanterns. I then heard a familiar voice crying which I suspect was Mimi. I couldn't see clearly as I was hiding right at the end of the corridor. The crying lasted for a few minutes only.
After a while I saw her happily carrying her lantern going for the walk.
Afternoon was another crying episode for her as she refuses to nap. Eventually I step in to pat her and she was so tired that within few minutes, she was snoring away.
From my two days observation, I thank God that she is able to adapt to the new environment easily and take instructions from the teachers very well. She is sociable and enjoys group activities with her classmate. She is also very independent when comes to munching times as the teachers feedback that she got very good appetite. Ha ha what a compliment!
I hope that next week she can cope by herself on a full day basis as I won't be there to observe.

In the evening, our cell members came over to our place for the lantern festival celebration. We had potluck at the playground downstairs our flat. The children had great fun and the adults enjoy the fellowship. We thank God that the drizzling stop and the weather was cooling.
Wow! what a wide spread of food
