2nd Day of School

Lil Shauna probably enjoyed school yday bcos she willingly changed into her school uniform this morning and was happy to leave the house with me to take school bus to school. She was still unwilling to sit with her friends and insisted to sit with me.

She was clingy upon arrival in school. I had wanted her to be more independent and tried asking her to take the lift with her teachers and classmates and without mummy to her classroom after music and movement. She started crying and wanted to dash out of the lift. I ended up taking the sardine pack lift with her. A little boy started crying and so did Lil Shauna. Then she dropped her Dora friend and the boy started wailing and so did her. -.o"

She cried so hard and peed in her pants while she was washing her hands in the toilet. Haiz. We only brought an extra panty and I had to put back her slightly damped skirt and shoes. I made a mental note to pack extra panty, shorts and socks tomorrow. She stopped crying after I assured her that I will stay with her.

They had beehoon soup for bfast but with an enormous fork and spoon that wouldn't fit the bowl. It was a messy affair. Things got better after bfast and she was so independent during outdoor play lor. It only goes to show that she can actually be alone in school.

There was still lots of waiting and it was still chaotic. There was also more crying as more parents let their kids go to school alone.

I had asked the teachers to pay more attention to Lil Shauna on Friday and was told that they would increase the number of teachers on Friday as they foresee many crying kids.

Popo will accompany Lil Shauna to school tomorrow. Hopefully, she will be more independent then. I still think she enjoys school bcos she was willing to let Popo accompany her tomorrow when I told her so instead of rejecting school.

On Friday, Popo will bring her to take the school bus and if she refuses to go up the bus alone or cries too hard, Popo will accompany her on the bus to school but leave after that. Gan cheong.
