a little accident

a couple of days ago i received another frightening call from the nursery while i was at work. rafael had tripped and bumped into a cupboard, and so broke his nose. it sounded not too serious from what his teacher described but she urged me to go take a look at him if i could.

it was indeed not too serious, with some slight nosebleeding (which had stopped long before i was there) and some scratches and bruises. i was glad that rafael, usually a cry-baby, acted strong and didn't cry much this time.

get ready for some more bumps in the years ahead my dear, because that's how we grow.

the little accident gave me a rare opportunity to visit rafael at school during my office hours. i saw where he had his lunch and nap, met his classmates and even got the chance to read him a book on a workday afternoon. : )

前兩天上午又收到老師的電話,才十時許,理應還在上課途中,老師來電定有要事。原來,靖愷在學校跌倒了,撞向玩具櫃。聽老師說似乎不太嚴重,是流了一點點鼻血,也擦傷碰瘀了一點。

老師知道我要到晚上才看見他,請我盡量到學校一趟了解情況。我倒是樂意有藉口在工作期間到學校探探靖愷,於是我完成手頭上的工作,並與同事交待一下,就立即趕到學校去。

除了上學第一個星期的適應周,都沒有機會到靖愷的學校看看他上課的情況。我踏進學校時像個好奇的新生... "噢!原來靖愷在這課室吃午飯!","原來這就是靖愷常掛在口邊的子仲!","原來靖愷午睡時是睡這張床!"... 趁他食午飯時,我還探望過學校的小動物,原來有兩隻龜、四條魚。午飯後,我們又一起看書。

老師說靖愷很勇敢,跌倒後只哭了一會。放學後老師再致電告訴我,我離去後,靖愷倒是要十分鐘才能將情緒平伏。

孩子,跌跌碰碰就是我們成長的一部分,你大概還要跌倒很多次才會變得強壯呢!加油啊!
