Baby steps toward self independence (1)

The first look of the first time she was assigned to a shop on her own...

Rules: 1. I could see her movement to the shop from my window

2. She was to dial our home number in case of emergency (ies)

3. She was not to talk to strangers.

4. She was to look to the left and right and left and right again before crossing the street.

Running all the way as she crossed the street...

still running towards the shop..

Returning home from the shop

Yup... she went to the kuruyemis and bought 200 grams of hazelnut!

Bravo!

Like any mother...i was really worried and scared..thinking of terrible *what ifs*..

But if we mothers do not teach our kids the ropes in life... who will eh?

Yunus Gösterisi (Haliç)

Despite her baba's direct opposition, hatice managed to persuade her baba to allow her to join the 5 days program during the winter break...she terms it as..*eğlence okul*...or in English... Fun school...and so...both my kids were in that *fun* for that 5 days...

The kids were to learn English in the morning and visitings n other activities till it was time to go home...i decided to join the kids for the dolphin show.... I won't elaborate on the show... it is the kids that is important.. here they were...
