Ton's last day at school

Ton's last day at school

Today was Ton's last day at school. Some teachers had watery eyes. Since 13 months old, she spent the most of her time at school, and I can say 70% of her bringing up is a result of teachers' tenacious and diligent training and care, and her personality developed by interaction with friends with different backgrounds.

When she started, she could not walk. Now she can ride her bicycle without supporting wheels.
Didn't want to leave me and cried every morning for a month, which broke my heart. Now she just waves her hand and doesn't even look at me.
She used her baby sign to communicate the basic needs. She now talks a lot in both English and Japanese. And she's bossy.
She was such a tiny little baby. Now she weighs 5 times more than when she was born.

Now she's entering next phase of her early life. I'm excited yet scared of what awaits us in future. 

P.S. Miri made Ton cute cupcakes on the photo for the farewell day today.
