First Week of School

Ok, that was me on my way to school on 4th January 2010, Monday. Below is me at the end of school on 8th January 2010, Friday.

The big white thing that Teacher Yati passed to Mama are the worksheets I have done for the week, or should I say, I have not done for the week. No photos yet but there are 3 pieces of paper altogether.

2 of them were blank as in I did not do anything with it. Mama guessed Teacher Yati was unable to keep me sitted to do my work. The last piece was a lemon print which has water colour prints of lemon. That piece carried my name and as I came home with a little yellow stain on one of my sleeves a couple of days ago, Mama gave the benefit of doubt that I had done it though she wondered how I could have done such a piece of work with so little mess. Want to see my masterpiece? Stay tuned for the pictures. Mama will take pictures when she is more free.

Well, Mama can't really say I like school as it seems that I will cry after Mama left. Yesterday, when Mama brought me to school, she heard an aunty commenting," This one will cry." The aunty was referring to me and Mama was not surprised if I do cry when I realised she is not in the classroom with me.

But one thing for sure, school really makes me tired. For the past week, I had been taking my 3-hr afternoon naps much earlier. I used to nap at around 2.30pm or even 3pm. But for the week that passed, I had napped at around 1.30pm. Perhaps the interaction with so many friends in my class and the activities at the playgroup has tired me out.

Also, Mama was happy to hear that I had gone up to a boy who was new to the class and hugged him. In the words of my new friend's mother, "The 2 boys hugged." Mama said he was new to the class as he was registered only on the second or third day after the term started. So he was not in class on the first day. Papa noted that I am an affectionate boy. May this continue to be so. :)

And Mama is sure enjoying her additional freedom that comes with my going to school. Yesterday, Mama actually bought me hotcakes for lunch after class and I also had a packet of fresh milk to drink after my hotcake lunch. Yumm....
