BB Yun Er went to school earlier than we expected cos the school called last Thurs and said that they can take her in first as the other child has not reported in yet. The school management actually wanted either parent to be for a few days to settle her in. However, being a busy time now its impossible to take leave and my husband also couldnt take leave. In the end, i took time off till 1030 and my husband went in later to office.
We agreed that he will go in with the gals and be with BB Yun Er in class. She clings on more to me and whines whenever she sees me. I hid outside the school and peep at any chance. She was fine in class, no crying and seems to like the outdoor play. Wanted to go home when they done the outdoor play but the teacher managed to coax her. Then when my husband had to leave, the teacher got Xiao Ci to come down to stay with her. It would be better to have a familiar face around for the 1st day.
We left and the teacher called me at ard 1 to update on her progress. She did cry a little and would call out 'Papa' when she has is not occupied. She finished her bowl of shell pasta, drank milk and nap. Was the last to nap after playing with the teacher for a while. The teacher told me that it would be good to be with her for the 1st time bus ride home. I went over at ard 4 and peep at her. She was drawing with her sis and classmates and seems fine. She only started to cry again and louder when she needs to go home and sees me. On the bus, she refused to sit on her own and prefers my lap. She didnt show signs of motion sickness (i think i feel much worse compared to her!).
On the whole, she is quite ready for school and didnt say she doesnt want to go again. Both teachers are encouraging and even told me not to come too often into her class, let her learn to be independent. They are understanding and assures me that she is fine.
