well well. I've completed the first week back at SACPS...

I've been shadowing my CT, following her to all her classes, watching her interact with them.

It's unbelievable that in such a short span of 1 year, there's been so much changes in the staff...

Once again, I'll be taking a primary 4 class...

Somehow I feel that much much much more will be expected of me this time round. After all, I already got the luxury of meeting my students and interacting with them 1 month before I begin my practicum... I also have the luxury of getting all my teaching materials beforehand, and thus, i would technically have more time to prepare my lessons. I really will have to rack my brains for the lessons during this 'one-month' holiday. (In actual fact, it's only about 2 weeks of break for teachers)

Going through all the induction lately... it's been crazy... a real overload of information.. but i guess it's necessary.

It's not been easy to be away from Faith for such a long time... and Darling and me are both so very proud of her for trying so hard to adapt to this new change in her life.

She's usually used to Darling being away from her during the day, because that has been the way things are since 1 week after her birth..... but like I said before, I'm never away from her for too long a time.... even during the 10days that i had to be back at school, I was back by late afternoon.... but now... I leave right after bathing her and I don't reach home till 7pm each day... and it really hasn't been easy for her at all....

Don't get me wrong. She's an absolute angel and darling in the morning and afternoon when my parents take care of her... they can't stop telling Darling and me how obedient and adorable she is during the day....

Yet, once we get home, she cries like crazy and refuses to let us put her down for any period of time until she's convinced we aren't gonna go away. Even then, she keeps watching our every movement, as if to check if we're gonna leave her.

Every morning, when i wake her up to bathe her, she smiles and laughs the moment she opens her eyes...

The feeling that fills my heart every time she does that is indescribable.... =)

She's growing so much lately... her cheeks are so extremely chubby now... and she's getting very very strong too.. it's so easy to carry her now coz she's so ready to support her self, and she's been trying to turn herself..... lately, she also coos and gurgles at us when we talk to her..... she's also starting to grab things.....

It's so nice watching her achieve each milestone..... =) I just wish I was around her more often to witness every single one of them.....

I am so gonna treasure the month I have left with her before i officially go back to work for real....
