End of the 1st Week

Woohoo! I want to throw my arms in the air and scream with joy. I want to do cartwheels! Yes, we are alive. We survived the 1st week of school!

The school bus was about 15 mins late for all 5 days and there isn't anything much that we can do about it. We caught the school bus every morning and Lil Shauna remembered exactly which day to go to the student care and which day to go to home via the school bus. On Friday, she completed some of her homework in the student care. I am super happy that she doesn't hate the student care.

Bed time for Lil Shauna is officially 9pm, which she abides bcos she is so near to collapsing by then. It gets tougher to wake her up as the week goes by. On Thursday morning, she exclaimed that she would want to sleep into the afternoon on Saturday and on Friday, she pitifully said that she was so sleepy. Poor thing.

Now that finally the weekend is here, it is also flying by so quickly. They have their Chinese and phonics classes on weekdays, where Popo will help to ferry. Ice skating and TKD remains on Saturday and they are having their Maths class before church now. Maths was supposed to be on Friday evening from 7pm to 9pm in my attempt to shift enrichment classes out of weekends, but we changed it last minute. Lil Shauna didn't look that she would survive the class very well and Friday evenings are usually reserved for Lil Isaac's school homework.

It was indeed the right choice. This was what I came home to on Friday night.

Most of these are Lil Isaac's. His school is super fond of giving homework only on Friday and plenty of them. The school probably assumed that the kids (and parents) had plenty of time to do homework during the weekend. But we want to have fun during weekend! Not homework! So we spent almost an hour chewing these on Friday evening. The homework are not difficult (I think), but the boy was so distracted and took an awful long time, in between he of course tried to whine and negotiate his way out. Fat hope.

While I am celebrating the victory of surviving the 1st week, tomorrow is the start of the 2nd week. Why like that? What happened to the weekend? But we did do something fun. We had a playdate with Boo yday evening and will be meeting the 3Fs this afternoon.

Oh, on Saturday morning, Lil Shauna woke up at 9am and asked if it was the afternoon already. So she didn't sleep into the afternoon eventually. Haha.
