Recently, I saw a picture of Angel in the infant room. It was her in the first few months of enrollment. She looked so happy on the little trike, smiling for the camera!
Looking at the picture brought a lot of comfort to me. I didn't have any option but to enroll my little Angel into Infant Care when we had her. So it was quite divine that the Infant Care went through some re-staffing before Angel's enrollment and the current team of teachers are simply excellent. They are responsible, passionate, unassuming and a really creative bunch as well! Her eating in school is as regular as clockwork, better than at home, and she bonds very well with the teachers & other babies. Thank God for His hand in these special caregivers placed over Angel's life. For the record, this was the decoration put up for her first year birthday! I didn't even notice until I saw the pictures Teacher Eunice sent me. How thoughtful!
Angel's Teacher Eunice: fun-loving & spontaneous!
Angel's Teacher Devi, gentle & firm - fondly identified as 'De De'
(because 'D' is the first sound Angel masters; so she goes Dadada as well, more often than Mama)
Angel's teacher Zena, sweet and soft-spoken
Angel's Teacher Thila, steady & unfaltering
Coming back to trikes and bikes, now that Angel rides with us on our bikes, I realise just how much she has grown and how much fun and surprise we have had as we watch her personality emerge over the months.
Last week, we took her on a ride along the park and canal. She sat so quietly, not uttering a single word, but just gazing at the trees, the joggers, the children, the dogs, and her grinning mommy trying occasionally to catch her eye. Then unexpectedly, as the sun was setting, her little head popped over the side of her seat. Lo and behold! She was so relaxed she fell asleep during the ride. We were
truly tickled by her! And some passers-by too.
This was when she got home. Still sound asleep!
