Came out to the park in the afternoon and counted 5 strollers not including ours. Saw several kids with nannies but only 1 parent. Later on 1 dad showed up to follow and see his kid.
Ant has been naming bamboo trees whenever she sees one because she recently learned it in class. And she's been asking about other trees. I've been wondering about trees. I started to take notice and realized so many fruit bearing trees just going to the park.
One tree looked like Langka but it wasn't like the others I've seen. I have to research on this.
The field was a bit empty on a Monday.
Ate got to sit on the swing, practice some balance and her left hand grip. I knew she enjoyed.
This one played alone at first and begged me and yaya to play with her. I almost felt sad she didn't have anyone to play with even if there were several kids. We weren't around often enough and she's not one to talk to new kids right away.
Bless me! Her classmate carpoolmate MC showed up! They ran for most of the time. A new friend whom her classmate knew showed up but Ant didn't seem to want to play with her because that girl asked her to leave and play alone in another seesaw by herself. I watched to see how she would react. She pouted and was ready to leave saying that she would be alone. Luckily MC preferred to play with her, grabbed her hand and together ran away. The three girls ran and ran everywhere.
At one point Ant fell of the seesaw and almost hit her chin. She got up quickly and when we knew she was okay, we pretended not to look her way. Later on she did eventually trip and MC's nanny took notice. I didn't see the actual fall and was concerned of course. So was yaya J. That's when she cried with tears incessantly. She didn't want to play anymore. It was time to go home anyway. Walking home I asked why she cried and she said everybody saw her trip. That evening she told Papa that MC pushed her and she got an ouwee which were both not true. I had to name her emotion and told her those weren't true. I said she was embarrassed and that's why she cried. What's important is that she got up after the fall. She nodded and I hope she understood. I forgot to mention that she shouldn't worry about what others thought if they did see her fall.
I thought I could send her off to the park with just the nannies (to be able to do other things at home), but I'd miss out on teachable moments. And I wouldn't be able to observe first hand. Eventually, I suppose, when self-esteem and confidence is higher.
