1st week of Child Care
Time passes by very fast.. Today marks the 5th day of Ah boy struck in a totally new environment, faced wif unfamiliar "monsters" ard...
He struggled and refused to attend sch every morning. Waking up at 6.45am and drinking milk, clean up and leaving hse is ok for him.. Nightmare starts wen he reached the door of the school, where he hug tightly to his dad. Wen Ah boy's teacher carry him away fr his dad, tears start to roll out of his eyes.
Wed and thu, he vomitted at the child care. Teachers asked if he was sick, as he vomitted for 2 consecutive days. However, my mil advised the teachers tt he vomitted coz he cried too much after his morning milk feed. Ah boy was felt wif slight fever in the evening when i went to pick him up fr MIL's hse.
MIL said tt whenever she mentioned school or teacher to Ah boy, he is spotted wif eyes turning red.. like abt to cry.. Oh my.. it's hurts my heart juz to hear abt it.
Tis mrng, i make an extra effort to send ah boy to sch wif my hb. As usual, he start to cry n fear entering the school compound. I recommend the teacher to let him play some toys to reduce his fear. Upon us leaving the sch, v peep in thru the windows, and saw the teacher intro some toys to Ah boy, and he did pick up those toys to play. So it's quite a relief.
Now waiting for 12+ to check on the status of ah boy at school today. :)

HAPPY NIU YEAR!!!
The start of the new chinese calendar year marks the start of Ah boy's school term. And yess~! He is attending school for the 1st time in his life.. The Toddler Class!
He started sch on the 4th day of the lunar calendar.. i.e. 29/1/09. Dad drove me n him to school at 7.45am! Well, that will be the future timing where he will reach sch as v nid to rush to work after dropping him at sch.
His 1st impression of school is quite fun. He has to wash his hands upon reaching sch. Follow by a hearty breakfast. He had tuna wif wholemeal bread on day 1, and corn flakes, koko cruch, honey star mixture on day 2. 1st time c him finish his breakfast w/o vomitting out!
He have lots of toys to play, storybooks to read, friends to play with, videos to watch.. but thru out the 2days, he's pretty sticky to me. Wen i sneak out for breakfast, he will start to cry upon spotting me at the window.
Lunch was quite ok for him. Day 1 has rice covered wif vegetables & fish soup. Day 2 was fried beehoon. In fact, day 2 was a CNY celebration where other students' parents came to join in the celebrations. So we had 2 games together follow by lunch celebrations.
He has tried out the bathing at the CCC. And he doesnt seems to be afraid. He quite like the mini-toilet bowl & the mini-basin where the height is within his reach.
School curriculum starts on monday, 2/2/09. And since it's the 3rd day, parents are not allow to enter the classroom. We try peek in a little bit, and saw lot of kids crying. Hb say he spotted ah boy wif red eyes, but has stop crying. Wen we pick him up at half day, after his bath, he seems to be recovering fr a bad cry. Oh.. pitiful ah boy. But wat to do? He has to learn to cope wif the new environment..
Ave period for him to adapt the school is 2wks.. so happy crying.. my lovely boy!
