Nice post for mummy to snap

It’s school term holiday, but no holiday for Marcus and me as I let him to join for school holiday program at his preschool.  He just started to adapt well at school, if I let him rest for a week, then I might have problem when send him to school next week.

I thought I might have trouble getting him to school again after the weekends. I was surprised that he didn’t cry when we reached school. I drove my car into the school’s car porch as it’s heavy rain this morning. His teacher came out to take him down from the car. Surprise, he followed the teacher and waved goodbye to me. LOL!!!

He looked at my car when I was ready to move. He knows that I will come and pick him up after some times. He really grown up and more independent after goes to school for 2 weeks. I’m glad that my decision to send him to preschool is right.

My kid was playing smart these days. He refused to take off his pyjamas, because he knew that he has to go to school after that. It’s so difficult to get him dressed up, luckily my mother in law is helping me. But once he gets into my car, he is fine.

He starts to cry when we almost reach the school. He knows the way to school every well. I left him with teacher once we reached. I told him that mummy has to go work and would be back later. He doesn’t cry but I could see his tears falling down from his eyes.

I went for breakfast before I go to a computer network company to help hubby gets information about business performance management software this morning. I went back to school as to check on him since today the principal arranged kids to have swimming session using plastic mini pool at school compound. My kid didn’t join, I don’t know why, may be because he is having cough. I saw him sat aside with some other students who also not join in the activity, watching others playing happily. Gosh, I didn’t bring him for swimming quite some times.

Now, whenever I asked him the same question again on whether to go to school the next day, he will cry and said “NO”…Alamak!!! I think he needs more time to adapt to the environment as he is still feel insecure without me around him. 

All students (aged 2-6) doing exercises with Mrs Ong (Principal)

Marcus woke up at 7.30am yesterday. Since Friday morning will be a PE session before start class, so I quickily get him prepare and send him to school. Daddy also followed us to school as to know more. LOL!!! We reached the school at 8.35am, still have many students on their way. The teacher carried him from me and went away. Gosh, he cried but stopped after a while. He really improve a lot. I saw him followed the teacher wherever she goes. I hide aside as to look at him. He is holding the teacher’s hand and did nothing but looking at the principal doing exercises.

My parents came and visited their grandson before the school dismiss. Once he saw us, he cried pity like didn’t see me for days. LOL!!! Oh, did I tell you that this school is using montessori method? Parents with montessori knowledge will know what I mean. I don’t like those academic fantastic preschool, primary and secondary. But with our Malaysia education, most primary and secondary school are based on academically fantastic except International school.

I hope my kid will enjoy his preschool life now, so that he has a better interest in learning when he enters to real school. In my opinion, it is not so important to enter to a famous school, but to enjoy their study life. Most famous school got a lot of homework and exam, I know it well as I also came from one of the most famous school in Ipoh. I don’t hope that my kid will live in fear daily just to complete his homework. Parents also feel stress and help out to finish their kids’ homework. Gosh, I have lot of examples from my previous tuition centre.

This montessori preschool arrange to have music class (more than 10 students) from MusikGarten once a week. Anyway, he is joined the music class (6 students) months ago near my housing area. I wonder if I should stop him after this term.

Since I have to go for yoga after dropped him to school, so daddy helped me to wake him up this morning. Surprisingly he woke up without playing any tantrums. May be he knows that he has to wake up early and go to school.

When we reached school, he shaked his head not to go in. I know that he is too scare about yesterday vomit case. As usual, I hold his hand and accompanied him for a while before I leave. He cried when I getting to leave as he knows that I will dump him at school. LOL!!! So, the principal carried him to other place. My heart feel pain hearing his crying voice.

Back to pick him up around 11.30am, still the same he cried when see me. The principal and teacher told me that he improved compare to the first 2 days. It’s a good sign, so I think I don’t have to introduce the best acne products to them. LOL!!!

In his school uniform, so cute, right?  :-P

As a reward, my mother in law gave him Yakult before he takes his lunch. He is so happy at home. I asked him whether he wants to go to school tomorrow, he answered YES. But why he still cry every time goes to school?

Satisfy with the Yakult drink, yummy

He is active and watch cartoon once he back home every day even though he wakes up early and cried too much at school. LOL!!!  

We’re about 30 minutes late to school this morning. LOL!!! I didn’t put on his school uniform even I got it yesterday. I happy holding his hands walked inside the school, accompanied him for a while before he goes to take his breakfast. Still the same, I’m hiding somewhere looking at him crying non stop again. I really confused and thought to go in and hug him. But I chose NOT.

I left after he stopped crying for few minutes. Joined my friend for breakfast and back home to do some work before pick him. Surprisingly I didn’t hear crying sound at all. He cried once see me. I saw him changed to another clothes. The assistant teacher told me that he vomitted just now. Gosh, he must be cried too much till vomit. So pity huh? Anyway, it’s so common to see this happened though I have been running nursery before.

He doesn’t want to go home and I stayed with him to play toys. Some of his friends quite active and always make teachers angry. Oh, is like that, kids are kids. Hopefully they won’t need acne treatment to rescue. LOL!!! They are few pretty little girls like to talk to Marcus, but he is too shy and scare to join them. They even asked him to come again tomorrow. They are so adorable, don’t they?

Today is the first day that Marcus goes to school. I have been talking to him over and over again about going to school these days. I woke him up this morning and hope that we won’t be late. After I got him ready, then I fetch him to school.

When we reached the school, the teacher wanted to carry him but he pulled her away. I accompanied him to join in the story telling time by the principal. At first he was reluctant to follow any teachers. But after a while, he willing to follow the teacher to living room with TOYS.

I accompanied him for about 30 minutes then I left him with the principal and teachers. It’s breakfast time at 9.30am but Marcus started crying for me. I can see him from outside and I’m feeling pain and confused. He refused to eat and drink, but I had to stay away from him or else he will need me every time when goes to school. After some time, he stopped crying and looking his friends having breakfast. The principal handled well and I left with a relief heart.

colouring and tracing ( of course with teacher help)

I went back to school around 11am to check out my kid, secretly of course. He sitting on a chair doing something with his teacher. I was so happy to see that and I left to buy some stuffs nearby before come back and pick him up. LOL!!! I heard he is crying again when I reached. He ran towards me and cried pity when he see me. Oh, so heartbreak to see his exhausted look. Must be cried too much.

His “aksi” look when wearing shoes to go home

His daddy did came and looked for him. He cried so pity and ran towards his daddy. Gosh, he needs us to comfort and pamper him actually. I assume he needs a week to adapt to the environment. Well, I asked him whether he wanted to go to school tomorrow, surprisingly he said YES. Let’s see how he behave tomorrow.

Marcus woke up early this morning, so I decided to bring him to school to join for exercise class. When we reach, the assistant brought him to line up. Surprisingly, he didn’t looked for me and stood there seeing his friends doing exercises.

I hide somewhere hope that he can’t see me. I’m glad that he didn’t cry even though he stood there and did nothing. After 30 minutes exercises, all lined up and went into class. I thought he will stick with me, but he was not and followed his friends went in. LOL!!!

Then, the teacher hold him to sit in the living room with others. One of the teacher asked me to leave as they will take care of him. Well, I left after few minutes. I went to have breakfast with my friend before come back and pick him up.

I saw him sitting on the chair with others when I come back from breakfast. I heard he cried finally when teacher passed him his water tumbler. Then, the teacher opened the door for me and he ran towards me. So kesian to see him cried. Anyway, I know for sure that he will cry few days in the beginning.

Well, today is just a try for him, but I’m really glad that he didn’t cry a lot. Hopefully he will behave more better on Monday. :-)
