Welcome, School Season!

Are you a preschooler parent like me? If you are, then I sincerely wish you're already done shopping for school supplies. The lines at the cashier in the nearby National Bookstore outlet is never short. I try to stay away from malls these days because the mere thought of the crowd makes my head ache already.

I used to like braving the mall crowds in June. But since my kid started school, I start collecting supplies (especially the generic ones like pencils, erasers, spare crayons, tissue paper rolls, liquid soap) even before the school year ends. I have lost patience for shopping for hours. I have become the most boring person in this whole wide world. (hehe).

My kid officially starts her final year in preschool tomorrow. And just like last year's, I am taking a day off from work to personally take her and fetch her from school. We requested for her to remain in the same schedule as last year's so we won't have to worry about waking her up at the crack of dawn yet. I want to take things easy this year. I want to relax and enjoy the rest of the ride since I know that once she starts grade school, it's going to be a whole new different ball game already.

READY FOR OUR NEXT ADVENTURE!

I also love that I can finally be true to the claim that I am no longer an amateur preschooler mom now. I feel more confident now. I am more at ease with approaching the teachers. I now have prior experience to tell me when to worry and when to let go. See? It does get better. It always gets better.

I hope the same goes for my kid. But if she probably sees me more relaxed, she will probably follow my lead.

Here's to a fresh new adventure for us Maia! I hope all my wishes for this year will come true as I really want us to just have fun and enjoy and be free of pressure.
