Crying Truama

Keziah was pretty good when Mommy picked her up though a little weepy. When Mommy asked her if she wanted to go back to school and see Teacher Shirmaine, she said "Yes". Mommy thought that was a good start. However, the story changed once she rested for the night. She was very clingy to Mommy too. Ta ta and Nei Nei were back from their holidays and she was excited to see them. Of course, this dragged her sleeptime even later last night. The nightmare started after she went to bed. She kept waking up almost 2hly to cry, wanting to go out of the room, didn't want to sleep and simply wanted to be carried by Mommy only. It was exhausting. Mommy hardly slept. She didn't even want Mommy to carry Abel and not to mention feeding him in the night. Guess she was overtired and insecure as well being the first time away from a familiar environment for long hours.

This morning, she was wailing away when Mommy took her to school even before we stepped out of the house. Teachers had to 'tear' her off Mommy. Yupz, Mommy knew it was rather painful but she had to learn. Really it's painful to hear the child cry so sadly and miserably. Thankfully she didn't scream and was quiet for a moment though she was constantly calling for Mommy and want to go out of the schoolgrounds. At least there is still her class teacher that is always attending to her once she reaches school. Hope that familiarity will build up. Now we can only pray she will get over this phase quickly and know that Mommy and Daddy are just leaving her there to play and learn for that few hours so that she could make new friends and have some fun.
