My Toddler Is Back To School.. And So Are We

It's been a while since the last blog I published. Well, ya'll know how busy Stay-At-Home Mommies are, right? Sometimes we have all the time in the world, sometimes we just don't know where precious time went! 

Anyway, my son started attending school last year and it was an exciting yet a very uncomfortable experience for us as a family, especially for me.. being a MOM.

As mommies, we always want to make sure that our child gets the best of everything and anything and it breaks our heart when we fail to give what we feel they deserve. 

So we scout for schools that will surely teach our kids well in terms of, well, EVERYTHING they need to learn. Sadly, the best of best cost a fortune so we settle for the second best.... is it? 

In passing, I realized that paying the most expensive tuition fee does not follow good and quality education. Yes, the good and quality facilities and amenities come with the price tag but that is another story. Maximixing the tools to learn is dependent on the parents and children. The partnership of parents and teachers in nurturing the child's potential to learn and excel is important.

During Davin's first year in Kindergarten, we were clueless as to how we were going to help him start the new chapter of his life as a pupil. It was a little crazy to be honest. I forgot that school means, sets of uniforms, shoes, sets of underwear, workbooks, school supplies, snacks and most of all, getting up early to prepare everything he needs for school. Not to mention, we must have a flat iron! It is not customary in our household to press our clothes except for the really formal ones so we didn't own a flat iron...and now we have one!

Thankfully they year didn't wrap up with us still running around like a headless chicken. By the grace of God we were able to cope up with the demands of having a toddler who is attending school.

This year we didn't buy a lot of new things for school. His undergarments and socks are the same ones he's been wearing even before attending school. He still feels comfy in them so no fuss. We made sure to buy a pair of shoes that he will outgrow fast. We kept the pencils, coloring stuff and other materials from last year and that saved us quite a few hundreds too!

My little boy has so much more to learn and so are we as parents. It will not be an easy journey but it does not have to be so stressfull either. The name of the school and amount of fees we pay in realty doesn't matter. What is important is that as parents we follow up with our child's learning progress and we collaborate with their teachers on nurturing out kids to be excellent and happy with what they do.  😍
