Brought Sabrina to her new childcare centre at Prince Charles to look around. After our morning shower, we got ready our stuff. Sabrina kept saying that "go Kmart". I told her "okie but we need to go school first." She was still looking for Adrian before we got into the car. "Where's Daddy?" she went. So we got into the car and off we went to her new centre. She was crying as I made the right turn instead of the usual right turn to go to Westfields. She was very angry by the time we reached her new school. She was ready to leave when we walked into the centre. Hahah.Kept telling Peta, the centre director bye. So brought her into her classroom to meet her teacher, she was already crying and screaming and wanting to go off. So Peta got Miss May to come over as she had seen her before to help calm her down. So finally we decided to leave her in the classroom while I go out for half an hour. She was all tears and all when I was leaving the room.
So I went outside and talked to the director. We could hear her crying and screaming. I told her she was like that when she first started out at Chermside. She will settle ultimately. So spoke to the director for a while and let Sebastian played with the toys on the table. Then it was silence. She had calmed down. Then came the phone call. Her teacher had called the director informing her that Sabrina had told her that she was hungry. So I went back to the car and got her biscuits and her water bottle and passed it to the director who sent it straight in. So after a while, I went in to take a peek and saw her sitting on the chair looking at one othe teachers who was cleaning the tables. Most of the kids are off for their nap. So I went back to the main room and told the director that she is alright and sitting on the chair. So I went in one more time and her teacher saw me and I sign to her that I would like to go into the classroom. So when Sabrina saw me as I opened the door, she cried and happily said her byes to the teachers. She quickly packed her container of biscuits and was all ready to leave. I got her to say goodbye and gave a hug to each of the teachers in the room. I spoke to her teacher and asked if Sabrina told her about her being hungry. She said ya Sabrina told her she was hungry. Hahah.
With that, we left the centre and I told Sabrina that we will now go to Kmart. She was indeed very happy and as I drove out of the premises, Sebastian fell asleep so I told Sabrina that we need to go home and get the pram. She was alright. So went home and got the pram and it started to rain. I got back into the car and Sabrina can even direct me which way to go to kmart. I was like.....lost for words. So drove to Westfields to the usual lots we park our car, it was totally full. I made many rounds and still we got no vacant lot. So we drove out and Sabrina was initially upset as she thought I was leaving. So I had to assure her that we are going to the other side to look for more lots. True enough there were no lots so I lef the car park and told Sabrina that we are going home. She did not fuss and was very cooperative during the trip home.
Reached home and faced another challenge -- parking the car back into the garage. Well I always told Adrian that I have no idea how to park the car in the garage and he would always assured me telling me to park the car along the road and he will drive the car into the garage when he return from work. But as Sebastian was still asleep, I had no choice but to try to park the car back into the garage. I think it must have taken me maybe 3-4 minutes to have it finally parked in the garage with room for the car doors to be opened. Phew, I did it. I was so proud of myself as it was my first try.
Gave Adrian a call when the kids went upstairs drinking their milk, I told him about the full carpark thus the enroute back home. He asked why did I not try the open air carpark. I was like .huh......I have doubts about my parking so better to return home. Then came the next question "So you parked the car along the road?" "No, it's in the garage." He was like so shocked by the news. I told him really it's in the garage. Got any damage? he asked. Idiot ....Should have told him that I parked the car at the road and when he comes home later, he cannot see his car and let him panicked alittle. But still I am very proud of myself. More practice makes perfect.
