2013, I made one of the big decision to quit my corporate job to give priority
to Zoe and Zandra. This means leaving a good salary / benefits and the freedom
in life. It has been the most difficult time making this decision as there's no
turning back.
The rational of the decision is because Zandra is having a difficult time with the babysitter where for the last 2 months, she has been spending most of her time in the cot! Zandra was reluctant to get out from the cot and we do agree that we need to remove her from the babysitter and that's brought me to make such a big decision.
Zandra make good progress in reaching out to people despite staying in her cot at the babysitter's. Since she left the babysitter, she has not been asking for her cot and has reach out to strangers in the first month since we got her back from the baby sitter.
Since I'm helping my Aunty to manage her pre-school, I decided to tag along both Zoe (6 years) and enrol Zandra for her toddler class. Zoe is managing her emotion well despite a new environment and Zandra was crying for me in the first 2 weeks. It's not easy for the three of us. I have not worked with so many children in my life have to learn how to communicate with kids rather than adults, the children on new environment.
Now, after 3 months, I have learnt to relax and take things step by step. As for Zoe, she has learnt to be more independent as 'Teacher Mummy' has to work while she study. Zandra, was the angel that really change a lot from a isolation baby to a little girl that the teachers loved to work with her. She has become responsive and independent which is beyond my expectation. Every morning, she insist to climb the stairs by herself and rather to go to the assembly with Zoe rather than Mummy bringing her in.
Looking at Zandra's progress I have no regrets in letting go a good career and hopefully I can continue to nurture the girls until they are more mature.
