First day in Childcare..

It's PH's first day in childcare.. preparation starts from the night before.. I had to prepare for the family's dinner the next day.. will have ginseng chicken soup with hubby while PH has his chicken soup with veggie... :)

early morning, i woke up to start cooking.. aft tt, wake PH up for his milk.. change into his uniform and off we go.. :) ohh... not forgetting some phototaking.. :P

happy PH playing with the s'pore flag... btw, he called the flag 'waseda'... this is bcoz hubby has a waseda university flag at home.. whenever PH wants to play with the flag, he will keep saying 'waseda'.. so.. now, he associate 'waseda' with flag... :P



super cheeky look... still hav no idea of wat's install for him... *evil grin*



a family photo before we go... :)



in laws wanted to tag along to see his first day at school.. so we fetch them fr the mrt station and go to the childcare center together..

we reached the centre at 8.30am.. juz in time for breakfast.. they had ham sandwiches with milo.. all novelties to PH.. :P but he's not the least interested in them.. *scratch head* i would grab for these when i was a kid.. :P

aft breakfast, the kids gathered to watch tv while waiting for other kids to arrive.. PH refused to join them..

having fun while i was still ard... he didn't want to join the rest of the tots...



at abt 9am, the kids queue up to sing the National Anthem and pledge saying.. i was pretty amazed tt the pledge was said in mandarin... during pledge saying, Ms Hema (PH's tot group teacher IC) told us tt we can sneak away.. i was pondering between sneaking away and saying gdbye to PH.. hubby wanted to sneak away so tt PH won't cry while parting.. so i follow him lor.. but i regretted aft tt... poor PH muz be wondering y we left him there with strangers...

initially, PH didn't realise that we left.. so he juz stay in the group with his head lowered.. :P aft a while, he realised we were gone.. and he started to wail.. :P it took Ms Hema slightly longer than an hour to finally pacify him... :P during tt one hour, in laws kept hoping tt we will step in to pacify PH.. they were afraid tt it's too traumatising for PH.. but we wanted to give the teacher the chance to soothe him.. in laws couldn't bear to see PH suffering n left home first... :P

eventually, PH settled down.. he played by himself with minimal interaction with the tots.. still cry occassionally.. but at least, not as bad as before... we went away aft tt to run some errands.. need to go back home to bring his bolster over too...

lunch was served at 11.30am.. We were not ard.. but Ms Hema told me tt PH finish his bowl of bee hoon soup... hmmmm... seems like food with seasoning is really more yummy to him.. :P shortly aft lunch, the teacher bathed him n send him to sleep.. he slept after awhile... without his pacifier somemore.. i'm so proud of him.. :) finally we can walk to him n sayang him... poor boy.....

the centre engaged pple over to do music enrichment class.. tt's with additional payment of $180.. PH joined the class too... the class is only so so due to the limited facilities.. there's no piano... so most of the time, the facilitator juz kept singing n singing... still wondering if i shd enrol him for the class anot... :(

we pick him up slightly aft 4pm.. he was drinking water with his other tots frens.. it's such a cute sight seeing so many young ones sitting at the table.. :) once PH saw us, he started babbling... alot of stories to tell us.. :P he was really happy to see us...

Ms Hema said PH is quite vocal.. and he was quite attached to the auntie who cook lunch for them.. think it's mainly bcoz the auntie is ard the same age as my mom n MIL.. so he associated her with grannies... :P

hope he will be okie tml... :D

Good startup for PH. PH is brave boy wor. sure he will enjoy as day goes by. like my col, her gar enjoys herself so much that she dun want to go hm. of cos, in the beginning, the gar cried like mad for 1-2 mth.but she slowly adapt to the environment.

brave parents also did a gd job by not intervening.
