superhero raya

i am so proud of my first daughter raya! we are so blessed! most kids her age (she is now 3.9 years old) wants to be a princess. raya wants to be a superhero because she wants to save people's lives. :) she believes she can do it all and can never be hurt because she is a superhero.

it's not not only cute but fulfilling. as parents, we try our best to inculcate in them good set of values of course. we set standards and i admit, i expect a lot considering that i'm a stay-at-home-mom who's got plenty of time for her kids.

so during our very first parent-teacher-conference, me and husband gelio met with the teachers together becuase we believe that we can give each other strength. haha! we don't know what to expect. we don't even know what happens on PTCs! maybe, we are also scared to know of raya's limitations. and as i've mentioned in my previous blog, her flaws could reflect on us. but then, her strengths are also a reflection on our parenting. so here are some of the results i can remember...

like what we already noticed, she needs to improve on her identification of numbers. the teachers are giving her extra activities and exercises to help her with it and she willingly comply at all times. we are also trying to teach her every possible way we can without the pressure. learn through play.  

the superhero in her shows everytime she helps anika, the youngest girl in the group, with whatever. she is always at her side willing to offer her services. even if raya is the second to the youngest, she teaches her classmates how to dance! even if its ballet, she can make her classmates (boys & girls) follow her.  she is sociable in a way that she participate in class and join her classmates with all the singing and dancing and all the activities whether its new to her or if its a bit difficult for her. she welcomes newcomers and guests with a warm "hi".

she is actually focused everytime she is doing something especially when she likes what she is doing like coloring and doing puzzles. she is so good at it that even the teachers are amazed. clap! clap! clap!

raya is happy at school even if it means wiping the table or sweeping the flor. she gladly volunteers herself to be the cleaner. very responsible that she packs away the toys after playing.

we are pleased with the results. we believe that we made the right decision in enrolling her at age  3.6 and in the school that is well balanced.

we are blessed to have a superhero who is strong and gentle, ready to help with a smile, eager to learn, sweet and has a big heart.
