new kindergarten

It has been more than a month since joshua boy joined the present kindergarten. Pappy & I are glad that he is settling down very well now.

He no longer resists when i put on his uniform. He no longer whines when i carry him out of the car. He no longer holds my pants reluctant to let go when i hand him over to his teacher. He no longer says "bu yao bu yao" when i mention going to school. He no longer has night terror nowadays...this is very signficant to us.

He used to wake up at night crying when he just started his pre N class at the previous kindergarten. He used to refuse to change into his uniform. He used to drag getting out of the car when we arrived at the school gate. He used to have teary eyes when pappy passed him over to the teacher.

Pappy & i are glad that i have chosen to transfer him to another kindergarten. I think it's the so called motherly instinct that i could feel joshua boy's unhappiness & frustration. He was not able to articulate to us what had happened in school, but his behaviour told us something was not right. Two weeks after the term started, he was getting more naughty, more cranky, made more unpleasant unnesessary noise, cried more, whined more...

Now, whenever i drop him at the gate, hand him over to his teacher, he will turn around & wave gd bye. The first time he did that, i wanted to tear. I quickly called pappy told him the gd news - joshua boy likes sch it seems.


Bonding Time!

joshua boy has grown to love playing games at the arcade. He was the one who had dragged pappy to ride on that motorcycle. He sure knows what is called "FUN"!
