Today was Lena's first day of preschool. Such a bitter sweet day.
I felt happier than sad, mostly because she is attending the group where Frida used to go just a few months ago. The main teacher there (Songul) is wonderful. She even called me two days ago to let me know what time I should drop by and to tell me she was excited to have me as a mother of one of her group again. She said she missed me <3 I also missed her, so somehow I feel like Lena is going there to adoptive family. Really lovely people (Songul, Moa and Ozlem).
The morning was bright cloudy, and cold. There is still a lot of snow. We first dropped Frida next doors and then went together with Lena to her new classroom (radjuret). Songul greeted us in Swedish. It is quite nice to be able to understand most of the Swedish that is spoken there (however, my speaking Swedish is still quite slow). Lena was at first interested in the books, she then looked at the fish in the tank, then a few objects. Her favourite object was the little empty jar of spices. We had a really lovely time.
Towards the end of our stay there, Lena decided to go and explore on her own. She explored the bathroom and decided to wash her hands and play with water together with another child.
I think it was quite a successful first day in forskola.
