my little schoolgirl

my 3yo started nursery last june in the school adjacent to our house. we needed a steady learning venue for our child as both us parents work & consume most of the hours our daughter is awake in the office or on the road. there have been days when she's too lazy to get up & go to school & hyper days (thanks to dora on most days hehe), when she's too fired up to start class.
here's my li'l school girl on her first day of school.




too bad parents are not allowed to peek & observe our children through class. my daughter would just come home w/ her hands stamped w/ stars which i presume meant she's doing wonderful in school. we're looking forward to transfer her to a 'real' school for the kindergarten level. two of my chief requirements are, that it needs to be a catholic school where a church is nearby & that travel time is at a minimum. our best option for now is the holy spirit school in BF which i've heard promising feedback from a friend who enrolled her daughters there.
