A Mother's Joy

 Before I start this blog, I want to say "Thank-you" to our cousins. Thank-you Jenny for always answering all our questions and for always being there for us. Also, Thank-you to IToua and Yer for encouraging us to enrolled Chialia at Paradise Elementary School. Without your families, we probably wouldn't get the opportunity to even be considered. Seng and I will always be thankful to have each and every one of you in our lives and we feel truly blessed.

Chialia is attending Paradise Elementary School! Yay!

During the interview with Mr. Thomson; the school principal, 

I was probably more nervous than Chialia.

First impression, he seems like a nice guy so I look forward to working with him 

for the next couple of decades.

Orientation was nice. 

I liked how I was able to join my orientation with Jenny and her daughter.

Chialia was kept busy with Genevieve while Jenny and I talked to Mrs. White; the kindergarten teacher.

My first impression of Mrs. White was good.

She looks experienced and confident.

I can see the passion in her eyes for what she does.

I want Chialia to have teachers that are willing to learn with their students.

Teachers are humans which means they are not perfect.

Every year they will encounter new challenges and 

she seems like the type that will take anything head on.

I trust that Mrs. White will give Chialia the best kindergarten experience 

while challenging her to be the best that she can be.

First day of school was nice.

Seng was able to get the day off and we both walked Chialia to class.

I'm thankful to have a husband that wants to be and takes part of their children's lives.

He goes out of his way to be there and for that I truly am a happy wife and mom

because I know I have the best husband and father for our children.

My joy as a mother is to see my children humbly happy in life.

Weather it's being able to walk before 1 year old,

being potty trained at 2 years old,

getting student of the months all year,

4.0 GPA in high school,

graduating college with honors,

working their dream career,

or become a stay at home parent

as long as they are happy in whatever they do

then that too will also be my joy.

"I promise to always be supportive and understanding."

Lastly to Chialia; my baby.

"You make me so proud and

I am happy that you are my child.

Thank-you for making my smile a little bigger

and for the continuous warmth in my heart.

I love you with all my heart and soul."
