Happy New Year!
Today is the first day of school and I am anxious like just any parent with school going kids. Lil Isaac is starting pre-nursery today! We have been reminding him that he will be starting school with jiejie today and he always nod in agreement. Ok, that is a good start.
The morning started off fine. It was as per usual. Jiejie changed into her school uniform and allowed me to tie her hair. Didi was excited to dress up for school too. We were early for the school bus, which happened to be late. So we had to distract the kids with plenty of grass watching. Lol.
The bus ride was uneventful. It was actually pretty boring and I tot Lil Isaac looked like he would fall asleep. We finally reached the school after about 20mins of turns and loops to pick up the other kids.
Lil Isaac has improved. At least he didn't cry when he entered the holding area. It was chaotic and the school's security failed. Lil Isaac managed to sneak out of the holding area without being spotted, not even by mummy and I had a bad fright. So mummy stayed with him in the holding area and the rest of the kids were all sitting down except for him who was loitering non-stop. I nagged at him to sit down and it of course didn't help. Faint. When jiejie left for her class, Lil Isaac started crying. Oh my, I didn't know he loves his jiejie so much, as much as a pack of gummy bears. He promptly stopped crying when I offered him the gummy bears. Win.
There wasn't much "school". The teachers had a hard time trying to read stories with crying and yelling kids and others who kept walking around. Lil Isaac kept escaping out of the class to the playground. There was a crying kid in his class who yells and screams at the same time. His mum was very pissed and no amount of coax and threats helped. We heard her yelled at the kids every now and then. I thought she wasn't too considerate. If my kid behaves this way, I would probably bring him out to calm him down 1st. The kid has really good endurance and actually cried the good 2 hours of school. Ouch! The teachers had to fight with the kid and the mum so as to be heard. We all pretended as if the crying kid and yelling mum werent around. Our poor ears.
The only time that Lil Isaac would sit down is snack time. Lol. The kids were served pandan cake and ribena and he asked for a second helping. That was after a hearty bfast at home before school. My growing boy.
School ended early for the pre-nursery kids. All of them dived for the playground. I had to lure Lil Isaac away after a while with the rest of his gummy bears. Gummy bears are so useful. We took sbs bus home and it was again an uneventful ride.
School makes the boy very tired, who concussed for the next 1+ hr. I wonder if Lil Isaac can survive without his nap when he attends the full class. Else, we will end up with a cheeky monkey at bed time every night. Scary thought.
