Dream Come True

I woke up from a happy dream this morning. It's really a wonderful start of the day!

Qianyi refused to go to school yesterday. The moment she saw her school uniform, she started crying. She pulled her pyjamas down with all her strength when I tried to take it off. I managed to change her into her uniform but her face was already full of tears. When I opened the door, she ran away from me and cried so hard. She looked distressed and I failed to calm her down. So she missed school yesterday.

I called Teacher Linda, her class teacher later yesterday. I asked if Qianyi has been scolded in school. She told me Qianyi's scared of the Clay teacher because it's the only male teacher there. Qianyi ran to Teacher Linda and grabbed her hand the other day when she saw the Clay teacher. She felt better when Teacher Linda told her she didn't need to see him if she didn't want to. Teacher Linda suggested me to bring Qianyi to school today in her home clothes and put her uniform in her school bag. She would change her in school.

However, I decided to let her go to school in her uniform. I don't want her to feel "cheated". She woke up happily but started crying when I showed her the uniform. She refused to change into it but didn't struggle much. I repeated what I did in my dream. I kept talking to her. I told her she's a good girl and a brave girl. She shouldn't cry and Teacher Linda will give her Yakult to drink. I kept talking to her on the way to school. I spoke in both English and Mandarin..."你是好宝宝，你是勇敢的小孩，不可以哭哦！老师会给你 Yakult 喝！" I actually don't know which language she prefers to use. So I tried to say the same things twice. She seemed to understand what I told her. She whined but didn't cry. By the time we reached school, she was ok and walked into the school carrying her school bag. It's such a relief...my dream has come true...hahaha...
