Finally, the day I have been waiting for.
Since two years of age, Adri has been attending Sunday School. No matter how hard we tried, it was impossible for us to leave the classroom. We tried both pep talks and sneaking off. Neither worked. Adri just had her eyes glued to us.
Today, however, Adri waved goodbye to me (apprehensively) and went to class on her own.
This is what she said:
Mummy, I am a brave girl. I don't need you in Sunday School anymore.
You can just imagine how elated I was when I heard that! Imagine! I have waited more than 2 years for that! I have tried to sneak off sooo many times, only to have my sister's helper looking for me at the Nursery Room minutes later, informing me about a bawling Adri (my nephew Joash used to attend the same Sunday School class).
Today, I stood outside Adri's classroom, beaming away as I sneakily peeked at how she participated in the activities. It helped that this Sunday School class is a small group, comprising of only around ten pupils. The warm, enthusiastic yet firm teachers (that kept the kiddos in check) were an added bonus.
Mummy is proud of Adri and is definitely looking forward to further displays of independence and confidence. I'm looking forward to Adri waving goodbye to me heartily moments before she attends her other enrichment classes.
Anticipating. :)
