Yesterday Mom and I went to that school I’ve been wanting to send Bade next year. The school is literally a few steps from our home so has already conquered my heart. A very nice establishment apparently, offering swimming and ballet courses, and even has a space room with a telescope in it.

Bade is thrilled about “her new school”. She seems so impatient. I cannot wait for Fall to come…she seems so lonely to me. Being an only child sometimes means loneliness – this was never a problem for me as I prefer my own company. But she is very social and friendly and it saddens me to see her so eager.

What I like most about the school is the fact that Bade will be wearing a uniform. Is it not cute ? This will make sure we don’t have fights over clothes each morning. The school also has a doctor and nurse unlike many other schools. I admit this is the actual reason we prefer it. It will be nice for someone to share my responsibility but it doesn’t mean I am ready to leave it all to the nurse.

I will visit the school quite often.

I feel so weird. She is growing up. I wish the time could slow down just a little bit.

As for the recipe, it is inspired from this link.

I have to tell you, this cake is something else. You have to try it.
