Eating more or...?

Last night, I was watching CSI(on hallmark channel) and when the crime scene appeared, Renee saw the victim in blood and asked : "what's going on, what's going on?". Then came the picture of the blood splattered wall and she went : "look mommy, blood spots! Yeeeee" hahaha.

It was raining this morning when we were about to go leave home for school and though it was only drizzling, we took a cab there as I did not want her to 'touch' any rain water. Geez, it cost S$10.90(incl. booking fee) just for that less than 15mins ride! I must really buck up and go for the refresher course(sooo lazy...).

Mrs Jacob told me that "Renee's alot better today" 'cos she ate 2 bowls of macaroni but what she didn't know is that actually macaroni is her favourite food and I don't cook as often of it as before anymore, since the time she's willing to eat rice and porridge hahaha. Hope she'll react the same way for the rest of the menu soon...
And unlike last week, she'll complain of being tired and wanted to be carried when we're reaching home but today, when we arrived at the 'open garden', she ran(more like jogging cos I was holding on to her hahaha) and I teased her "woah, Renee is so strong today?" and she said : "Oh yes, because I ate alot in school, so I very strong!" hahaha.

I've arrived early at the school today(at 10mins to 2pm) to pick her up and saw that one of her classmates' mother had been standing outside the classroom since the session had began, I took the opportunity to take a peak too, heeee.

Neither the Principal, teachers nor the adminstrator will stop you if you just look in occasionally, as they also know that parents are concerned about their precious children. However, it is our duty to do it discreetly to avoid any disturbance to the session. It will be good for one to see for him/herself how his/her kid reacts/responses in the class and also how the teachers fare(this I'm sure the school is very confident about as their classrooms are all windowed for open viewing. They only told the parents not to stay around outside the class after the orientation period as it might reallybe a big 'problem' if all concernign parents were to stand outside to peak hahaha).
I"m glad I took the peak yesterday 'cos I saw Renee sitting at the back of the 'circle' and luckily the Lao Shi was sitting next to her, cos a boy, sitting right infront of her, kept pushing himself back to knock on her and Lao Shi was quick enough to gently pull Renee back a little...I saw Renee making the 'purrr purrr' mouth(tu tu mouth) at the boy but in juz a matter of seconds, she turned to face the back but I noticed from her lips movement that she was still singing along, so that's still ok. During that short 1 min I was watching, it was quite funny as I have to try and stay clear of her vision, so as not to distract her and the class. The mother saw me doing that and I think she got paiseh and walked away hee hee.
This got me thinking...I've always told her not to become a bully and not to be angry with friends, just let them be if they snatch anything(e.g. toys/books) from her 'cos she still have her own toys and books at home. I want her to be a forgiving person, 'cos when one is forgiving, then will one's life be 'easier'... I know that some parents might even be proud that their kids would fight back but I personally would rather not, especially at this age, Unless the bully is too much...
