1st Day of Pre Nursery

Today is the start of a new chapter in Rynae's life - Schooling. She has been looking forward to the arrival of this day since being told that she will be going to school soon. She woke up by herself at 7.10am and was very co-opertative in allowing me to brush her teeth and wash her up for school. A seldom occured phenomenon indeed. As I was dressing her, I couldn't help but have this nostalgia of recalling those good old days when my mum prepared me and my sisters for morning session school. And here I am, 20 odd years later, doing to same thing for my daughter.

As this is a new beginning for these toddlers, school for the entire week will be only 1 hour and parents may stay for 30 to 45 min if they so wish. Rynae was a little insecure at first but proceeded on to play with toys soon after. Children this age are solos who do not interact hence nobody bothered to self introduce themselves to one another or to make the initiative to make friends. Haha.. All parents, maid and ah mas are being shown the door at 8.45am to allow the children 15min of independent school life. All were fine except a boy who let loose after realising that his ah ma is not around.

At 9am sharp, the door opened and Rynae stood in line, ready for release. Everyone bid farewell to their teacher and dispersed. When I asked Rynae what did her teacher teach her, she replied, 'My teacher teach me how to play toys'. Well done! Go to school to PLAY TOYS! Enjoy your childhood dear... older kids wish they never would have to grow up..
