This weekend my 2-year old son's school called for a PTA , term culmination meeting. First of all, he is in playschool, and then it has been just around 2 months. It sounds very weird, right? But it is nice to meet his teacher and find out about how my son is doing. So many questions a parent would have. "Does my child interact well?" , "Does my child eat well?". My son struggled a lot to get used to going to his playschool. His scheduled suddenly changed. He saw many new faces.He did not want to go. It is still a struggle to get him to go to school some times. He slowly got familiar with the teacher and helpers there. He realized we would come to pick him up. He realized it was a fun place to be in.
Now he comes home and dances to his favorite songs. He starts singing rhymes on his own. It is an absolute pleasure to see him grow. Coming back to the PTA meeting , they were giving away awards to star kids for each class and then went on to recognize parents as well. For Playgroup, i got the award for most dedicated parent. I am not sure how they decided that, but it sure feels good.
I am sure every parent is dedicated and would like to think of themselves that way. Being a working mother who leaves her son with his grandparents and sends him to school at just 2 years of age, i think i needed that award. I needed it to re-assure myself that I am trying my best. I am doing everything i can to be with my kid and also continue working. I must admit that i work at an awesome place and have a wonderful team and an exceptionally understanding manager. While the award had just my name, i know everyone at home and at work has supported me. As much as I am independent and a distinct individual. I am what I am because of all the support i have in life.And I am grateful.
