L in school

I write a lot about H in school but not about L cos she doesn't give us any cause for concern. This year, L is attending mandarin preschool twice a week, and another 2 days at her yiyi's school. Her mandarin enrichment teacher is now taking the preschool class so we thought it'd be good for her to stay with the same teacher, hence the transfer. I must say I appreciate the flexibility given by the mandarin centre to allow her to attend only twice a week.

After her first mandarin preschool session, the principal called me. She said L was really good, very independent. It was her first unaccompanied class at the centre and she blended right in with the other children. Not only did she not cry or look for her nanny, she participated actively in all the activities. Mommy's good little girl!

We always knew that L is an independent child. She loves going to school, she loves participating in activities and she wants to do everything on her own. She can also be very bossy. Since her nanny still accompanies her to yiyi's school, I sometimes get feedback from her on L in school. Apparently my bossy little girl will not allow her nanny to join her and the other kids during circle time. "Aunty cannot sing, only I can sing!" She wouldn't even allow her nanny to sit with them "You go sit there!" pointing to some faraway corner.

But Nanny is always full of praises for L. She claims that L is the smartest, the most independent, the most outspoken in class, etc. but of course Nanny can be biased. It's all good if she's everything that Nanny claims she is, but one thing for sure, my little girl do need some lessons on good manners.
