Waiting to leave home to school!
Can't wait to go to school
Oops! Her "Balugu" so big!Woke up with a "heavy" heart. We woke up around 8plus. Of late, I woke up very late cos I cannot take it anymore every morning has to wake up 7plus (used to be) after doing midnight feeding for at least coming to 3 months. Shacked man. Cayenne's wake up time was 7plus but I "forced" her to sleep till 8plus, sometimes 9plus if I'm lucky. Hee...
Was thinking of NOT going to school since we were kinda of "late". I mean I haven't feed Cayenne breakfast (CC's breakfast time over by the time we reached there), haven't bath her (The teachers @ CC can bath her but hey, it was Cayenne's 1st day @ school, new environment, unfamiliar faces of teachers & little new friends, kinda of overwhelming for her (I think so) so surely I'm not going to let the teacher bath her) & I also haven't bath my Cayden yet.
BUT, was thinking "NO! I can't be like this! Trying to find excuses not to bring Cayenne to CC." I told myself that I had already promised Dennis & no matter how unwilling I was, I had to bring her to try out. If Cayenne doesn't like it or rather I or the school find Cayenne not suitable as in readiness, then will withdraw her from CC.
So quickly bathed Cayenne & myself, fed her milk, off we set off to CC! No choice had to leave Cayden ALONE with my helper as my Dad was going out. (He usually goes out on Monday) Worried BUT no choice.
The principal & teachers welcomed Cayenne with smiling and cheerful faces.
1st thing inside the toddlers class is must check temperature, hands & feet, fearing HFMD. Teacher Lay Hoon who is the most experienced teacher there, brought Cayenne to wash her hands. & I'm surprised Cayenne actually followed her.
After that, let Cayenne roamed around while I stayed @ one side to observe her or rather I have to be around within her sight so that she can see me if she remembers me! Haha... But I didn't do a good job I think. I was just beside her. ;p
It was kinda of noisy with at least 19 little students (including Cayenne) with 3 teachers. 1 or 2 were crying cos they wanted their Daddy & Mummy to be around. At the moment, I find it was quite a chaotic scene, with the kids crying, some were running within class, 1 teacher kinda of screaming @ the kids to ask them to behave, to sit down etc. If you ask me, I don't think I have a good starting impression at all.
Every morning they have at least 1 hour walk around the school compound! 1 hour! One Malay Mummy told me & she told me she was not going to join them (her girl also just joined the school, it was her 3rd day), very tiring. The Mummy told me no wonder the kids could sleep after that, cos very tiring walking. Imagine 1 hour! She told me the 1st day she joined her girl for the walk, after that, she felt so tired herself! Haha...
So it was time for the morning walk. WORSE! The kids simply too excited? Too engrossed in the playground? That some didn't want to follow the teachers. Some simply ran here and there. Really scary. I seriously wonder how the THREE teachers going to handle 19 toddlers! But somehow or rather, the teachers managed of cos with stern voice, shouting. At the moment, I really didn't want Cayenne to be in the CC.
Went back to class, the kids had lunch & fruit. Cayenne had her 1st lunch there. I let her feed herself. I was very happy that she can self feed. Quite well in fact! ;) I didn't really let her self feed at home as it will be messy. Somemore her appetite wasn't really as good as before. If I let her self feed at home, probably she will eat less than I feed her!
Felt very proud of my Cayenne, so one worry off from me on her meals. Initially I worry about her during meal times. Though the teachers say they will help to feed the kids who doesn't know how to feed themselves, I think they won't be THAT attentive to feed them the whole plate of meal. What I observe is true. Of cos in a positive way, they are trying to get the kids to learn feeding themselves.
After lunch, Cayenne had a piece of apple which she almost finished 3/4 by herself! ;) Then she put her plate on the basin. Good girl!
The teachers started to bath the kids one by one & prepare them for their afternoon naps. So I decided to bring Cayenne back home. Before heading home, I need to settle the school fees and talk to the principal. Principal Radiah is a nice Malay lady. I told her about my worry on the outdoor walk. She assured me that there will be new teachers coming over. Then they will split the class into 2, with 2 teachers handing 10 kids. Well, actually the teacher-to-children ratio is 1 : 8. Anyway, I definitely welcome more teachers around! Cos the kids can be quite handful to handle. Some can understand instructions, can understand what the teachers are saying but there are some who can't.
Oops, nearly forget to mention one thing! Cayenne can wear her own shoes! I'm very proud of her again! ;)
After school, happily playing @ the void deck
