Finally… it’s our daughter’s turn to graduate from nursery.

She’s so cute! My little makulit girl has finally reached one of her turning points. She will graduate not only from nursery but also from being the “baby.” She and her kuya will always be my babies. But she will also be leaving behind her real baby character…
I don’t know how to explain it but, she’s quiet and accepting when she was only a toddler and before we enrolled her in nursery. So innocent looking, none of her I-know-it-already nursery look and attitude. So trusting and always looks for Mom and Dad or Kuya or Yaya/Ate when she wants to feel the familiar sense of security that family can afford. Her baby cry when she wakes up early and finds out that I’m again going to work, I will miss and not miss. Not miss ‘coz I hurt more thinking of her crying for me not to go to work each time she wakes up and sees me hurrying off to work. I will miss ‘coz being a working mom, I missed taking care of her 6 days a week (the company I work for required the employees, before, to work half-day on Saturdays) when she was still months old. I regret that deeply. I envy moms who are able to take care of their babies, their children.
She’s my baby. I feel so protective of her. My bunso.
I included here some of her graduation pictures.

Kids her age are normally playful. So in some of the photos she was caught playing with her classmate and friend, Alexa.
