for the past weeks, i haven't been busy setting up my new business. so, my sister-in-law has been helpingout by
taking eljo to school and picking him up afterwards. yesterday, she had to go to bulacan so i brought eljo to school. teacher michele approached me and told me the unfortunate event that happened the day before. apparently, eljo was pushed by a classmate and he bumped his head on a plastic cabinet. he did not cry or do anything to hurt the other kid. his teacher remarked that he was just quiet. he even said that it did not hurt.but then, i told his teacher, that on that day, when he came home, eljo was not so happy, contrary to his usual demeanor whenever he comes home from school. in fact, later that day, he displayed a certain "grouchiness" and a little bit of "anger" for no reason at all. i figured that maybe he did feel hurt and angry when the "accident" happened but did not know or did not feel at ease to show his feelings. only when he was in the safety of his own home did he feel comfortable with releasing his negative emotions.and i realized that there would be more incidents like these to come as he grows up and goes into the bigger world. and my wish is i would be able to give him the kind of support, attention, and insight that he would need to "survive the jungle".
