My son goes to school!!

Dominic is finally, officially, going to school! He is a school-going tot!

We registered last Friday 7 January at a kindergarten near home. First day was officially this Monday 10 January. Today is day 4 of school. What an adventure it has been!

Day 1

Mommy accompanied D all the way today. He was super excited about taking the school bus, couldn't wait for the bus to arrive at grandma's void deck. When he saw the bus approach he gave a loud yell! Wow so drama and funny. He enjoyed the bus ride.

Stepped into school. Had berakfast, then class. D didn't participate fully in the activities, but joined in in his own way, a little apart, a little together. We're happy enough with that. Seemed to enjoy himself, no fuss at all.

He allowed the teacher to change his diaper. Mummy bluffed him that we could go home after changing diaper. Big mistake! He refused to re-enter class and cried! FInally managed to settle down by reading with me. Then in a blink it was home time and we took the bus home. And that concludes the first day! Quite successful I think.

Nicholas and the others.


Day 2

Grandma says to let D go by himself today and let the teachers handle it. So Mommy accompanied D on the bus to school. Then while he was taking his temperature, I sneaked off! I heard D say "Where's Mommy?" But the teachers were really attentive, carried him in and paid attention to him.

Mommy became the crazy lurker outside school, in the RAIN! Lingered on outside school walls and peeped through the hole, eyes open ears open to catch if he was fussing. No noise at all! I was so impressed! Then I sneaked in and tried peeping at him. He did great! Caught him washing his hands, then in class joining in the activities. I was so impressed! Finally went home.
