Trevor's New Favorite Nanny
It is never easy to get adjusted to any new environment and get acquainted with a complete group of strangers. It would usually take me sometime to make new friends especially I am very mindful of other people’s attitude. Being judgmental, I don’t easily put immediate liking to any new person even if others say they are very kind people with pleasant character. Don’t get me wrong here though. Nobody is causing any problem to me, just that I don’t tend to trust any new person that comes to my life until I truly get to know him or her.
I believe children’s thinking would be the same, especially for those who are able to differentiate between what they like and don’t like. However, for a baby as young as 12 months and below, they would normally accept whatever the situations they may be in. For them, it would be just beyond their control to say “no” to anything they don’t like and “yes” to what they might like. Now my youngest grandson falls into this category. He has to agree with anything that his parent think is best for him whether or not he agree with his little whimsical thinking!
And one other change that happened today is he has been moved from the baby-care centre to my cousin-in-law’s home! Now the reason is that he doesn’t seem to be able to adjust himself with the day-care activities and he has been falling unwell most of the time since he started his day there. We adults were thinking that it could be that he doesn’t have enough sleep hours and those other babies and young ones who are up and about would easily disturb his peaceful afternoon nap. Just you imagine how noisy that day-care centre can be the whole day through! Poor Little Sheriff! We call my CIL’s home “Curtin Nursery” all because her home is located near to Curtin University and we also joked that “Little Sheriff” will graduate faster while in university! LOL!
This afternoon just after noon, I called my DIL and asked her about how Little Sheriff is doing at his new university. She replied saying that this morning when she handed him to my CIL, he eagerly hugged her and put a wide smile on his face. He turned round and waved happily at his mother as she left them at the front door and went to work. Well, that is already good news for me, the “grandma that always worry when it comes to the welfare of her family". I know that whatever I am doing for my family is for the best of every body. So far I can say, I am doing quite well with carrying out my responsibilities.
