2021-09-01(end of the day)

I took a long nap at noon, so I am energetic enough to write another diary now, though my head is still aching.

Today is the first day for kindergarten. Stone behaved as well as we expected. He didn't cry at all during the 5 hours he spent in kindergarten. As he imagined kindergarten to be a sort of paradise, he was really looking forward to it, especially the doll's house in the classroom, for he has been addicted to cooking these days. When he arrived in the morning at 7:15 a.m., he didn't cry. When I went to fetch him at 12:30 p.m., he didn't cry either. My valiant young man. The only defect was that he wet his trousers twice and Ms. Shan had to call me for another pair. Lots of parents laughed out when I sent his trousers in, I felt a bit shamed at that moment. Of course, it was no big deal, just added some unforgettable elements for this special day. 

I was too excited to focus on my application the whole day. After Stone had gone to kindergarten, I edited a video clip to record this remarkable morning, posted it on We Chat Moments and received numerous 'like'. I regarded today as somewhat a festival, for I have been too exhausted rearing the kid. Though today is new start for Stone, it's like somewhat a graduation ceremony for me. I provided myself a day-off from the application, yet I recited NCE and memorized vocabulary. 

Stone requested to go to the agency with me by bike after supper. I thought he deserved a gift so I fulfilled his order. It was completely dark when we arrived, and the tiny supermarket of our agency didn't sell mushroom-shaped snacks which Stone desired. He played for a while in the backyard and we went back by bus. 

Cool breeze kissed our cheeks while we were cycling. It was a sheer delight to be with Stone in such a genial night. Autumn is the best season in Beijing. Everyday is comfortable. At the same time, Shanghai still suffers heat waves. 

The Universal Studio in Beijing is going to open this month on 20th, and the ticket price is released today, but I have little interests towards that. All I care about is my application.
