snippets of joy

It’s time to toilet train Zann, which I had started 2 months ago. But there was no progress. Today I suggested to  her chinese teacher about bringing all the children together to the toilet, regardless whether they have the urgency. So that Zann can follow along and learn. But she told me that it’s not her job to train! Especially when she has so many children to take care. 

I always thought it should be this way, parent and teacher working closely on the potty training at the same timing. Isn’t it ?  

I got a letter from the principle when I picked Zann from the childcare. I was later told that the centre has a case of HFMD. Worried, I voiced my concern.

She: Even though the teachers and I have taken the preventive measures, we couldn’t do much if the child has got the virus outside the centre. But don’t worry, HFMD is just like any normal cough or flu.

Me: Hur…no lei, I don’t think HFMD is common. It can cause brain damage or even death.

She: …….

Last night, after playing for awhile, she just stopped and went in the room to lie down. Not long after, she kept sneezing. Thinking to myself, I was hoping she will be fine.

This morning, I saw mucus running down.

resulted two bite marks on her hand today !

Teacher Cindy’s explanation to me was that Zann got the marks from a boy
in her class. I saw him. He was just half of Zann’s built, with a naughty look.

Teething doesn’t mean he can find relief in her flesh, right?

Though I didn’t say that sending my child to the centre is not to get these kind of marks, but I wanted to know how come no one bother to keep a lookout for that boy when those teachers knew that same thing happened before to other kids.

It was an accident.
We never expect he actually went to bite Zann.

I am very angry.
