    ~~~ January 24 ~~~
    
                          
    
                            
    
                                ~~~ January 24 ~~~

    A day without a school should be easier
    
                          
    But as a mother, I should know better
    
                          
    Since my little one woke up early
    
                          
    My time for house chores was cut short easily.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    So I decided to make a schedule for today
    
                          
    A time for work, a time for chores and a time for play
    
                          
    A time spending with my little one is not an easy part
    
                          
    Because all she wanted is to turn on the TV and watch.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    But that is not what in my mind
    
                          
    Though I have a lot of work, no time to unwind
    
                          
    I wanted to spend time with her productively
    
                          
    So glad I remembered her school activities.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    While I sweep and cook breakfast and lunch
    
                          
    She plays with my cellphone or watch
    
                          
    I gave her enough time for her entertainment
    
                          
    Just to lighten up her day a little bit.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    After I'm done what's need to be done
    
                          
    it's time for a mother-daughter bond
    
                          
    It's my first time to try make her do things straight
    
                          
    But it's better trying it now before it's too late
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    So we sing together with an ABC song
    
                          
    Then read a book that's not very long
    
                          
    Played a lot with her red Play-Doh
    
                          
    Creating animals and looked how her smile go.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    Followed by coloring a letter and an animal drawing
    
                          
    She really had fun with a lot of giggling
    
                          
    Then tracing a letter, that's our struggle
    
                          
    Because my little one's patience is hard to handle.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    But I told her "My little one, it's okay.
    
                          
    You give it a try, look at Mama, I'll do it this way.
    
                          
    It's okay, you just have to take your time.
    
                          
    Don't worry, you will get by."
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    Finally she sang our pack-away song
    
                          
    Then I decided to also sing along
    
                          
    I am very proud with no expectation
    
                          
    When I looked at my little one's creation.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    Because she still have a lot to learn
    
                          
    And I always remind myself not to push her more.
    
                          
    Because when she go to a big school
    
                          
    Things will be different for her soon.
    
                          

    
                          

    
                          
    From now on, her two days no classes at playschool
    
                          
    I will spend time with her giving the same tools.
    
                          
    It will be a great support and I know she will make me proud
    
                          
    A product of hard work and play, through a mother-daughter bond.
