Today is the first time Ben attended the church kids worship without mummy and daddy's accompany. Huh, finally he can do this after almost half a year and this is the day we have been waiting for. Both mummy and daddy are very happy and proud of our little boy.
Yes, of course before the church, I explained several times to him that he now has turned 3 years old and can be independent without us. Mummy needs to go upstairs and listen to 'adult story' and he has to stay downstairs to listen to 'children's story'. He then agreed to let me go upstairs and he himself stayed downstairs. When we reached the second floor, he took off his sandals and went in himself. I knew he was nervous and scared because when he was pulled away to avoid someone coming with chairs, he was shocked and his face looked scared. I went in and brought him into his classroom, showed him where his coins were put in his bag. Then I brought him to his teacher and he agreed to let me leave.
Well, the 1.5 hours upstairs was not relaxing either because I kept thinking if he would look for me. Anyway, I know once he agreed to let me leave, he would try his best to adapt it. When we finished our service upstairs, I went directly to his classroom. He saw me through the glass window and waved to me happily while eating his biscuit on his chair. The teacher told me that he behaved well, didn't look for me and could concentrate for quite long. He also participated in singing session. He then came out, held my hands happily, which made me feel proud of him :D
At home, he told me that he can attend church without me and daddy in future. Hehe... mummy and daddy can now attend our service together again!
