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！
