Sometimes small things are the reasons to keep yourself happy.

For the last 2 years, my kids have not seen the school because of the covid. On the 4th of April, they were ready to go to school, and they were so happy that their happiness could be seen on their faces. They were excited to see their friends whom they didn't see for a long time. I was calmly watching them as they got ready before the time their cab reaches home to pick them up. It was such an excitement for them that they hurriedly went to the cab saying "goodbye" to us. I was happy to see their excitement. Sometimes such things are the reasons for our happiness in our life.

It may be the reason. They didn't go out much in the last 2 years so they might be happy to go out of the home.

@sjvg1976 I'd say their happiness was a mixture of getting out of the house and seeing their friends again after so long, then. If you were home, why didn't you drive them to school? Is the cab cheaper than driving them?

@DaddyEvil I have to go to work so I cannot do that and my wife doesn't know driving.

I think it's harder for schoolchildren because they're not allowed to go out at all. Are they (your son and daughter) in the same classes all day? If yes, does it ever cause discomfort, comparisons, etc.?

Yes, they are twins and are in the same class. Yes sometimes they feel bad when we compare them with each other.

What lovely kids. Nice photo. Yes as they always say, little things mean a lot. I had to laugh when you said how they run out of there barely saying bye to you.

I can imagine the happiness on their faces, that at last they can see friends face to face.

I am glad they are back to school. For kids those two years were stressful years.

Yes these two years were very bad for the kids, they didn't learn anything in these two years.

@LadyDuck no even they didn't learn anything from those online classes. Their base is weak.

@sjvg1976 They did learn with home schooling, but they missed to socialize with the others.

I can imagine their happiness. My grandson was able to return to the regular classroom in September. He's never been happier. Your kids are adorable and growing up before my eyes!!!! How old are they now?

Nice that you have started to go back to school for a face-to-face class. I think that it is high time that classes be resumed as regular ones rather than those online classes which is not effective for students to really learn things.

Yes, these online classes are not effective. Kids don't learn anything from them.

Agree, there are small things that change our mood. Even a sweet smile from someone a free fare from a friend and a free snack from a friend are sure enough to change the beating of our heart.

True, the kids had it tough and their childhood was almost robbed of its essence without their friends/chums. As a parent, their excitement passes on to us too, I agree
