Jan 5th 2015 marked her first day of school...
Even though it's just playgroup, can it still be considered as school?
It was indeed a bittersweet moment sending her off...daddy was there to send her in while mummy and baby Skye peeped from the outside thru the big glass window.
No crying at all to my brave lil' one :)
Well she's been going to Sunday school for a while now....so this 2 hrs of playgroup is a breeze!!!
Wished it was a tad bit longer though...
Thankfully her playgroup is just DOWNSTAIRS!!! Or else, the travelling time there and back to drop her off and pick her again is just not worth it...
#background
Sienna was all excited as almost everyday we walk pass by her "school" and we've been prepping her about it. But I think she was mainly eye-ing on the kitchen toy set and all the cooking utensils :) don't think the word "school" has sunked in yet...
1st day:
She was so eager and excited to go when she woke up that morning.
And true enough, right after her daddy sent her in, she made a dash to the kitchen play set... Busy cooking, using the fridge, microwave, oven, etc...and serving it to mummy thru the glass windows...
Mr. Hubby left for work while mummy n baby Skye stayed outside, peeping. Was suppose to stay only for a bit but ended up staying for 1 hour as this mummy was busy chatting with other mummies/grandmas/helpers... "Mummies networking"....hehehehe
Parent/guardian is allowed to stay with their child for this whole week of orientation. But mr hubby and I decided that it was best for us to not "sit in"... Plus Sienna was doing well anyways...
Rewarded Sienna with a lollipop when I went to pick her up!
She immediately cried as soon as she saw me....!!! She said she missed me...
***awwwwww-hugs hugs****
But at the same time she said she had so much fun n kept talking about school, friends, teacher, toys, biscuits snacks, etc...
2nd day: yet again, Sienna was happy and ready for school...
This time, we were the first few to check in....so decided to let baby Skye join in the "play time"...
Was about to leave after all the kids checked it, then the teacher announced it was "mandarin/chinese day" today....apparently every tues n thurs the classes are taught in Chinese (that was one of the MAIN reason we decided on this school)....so curiosity got this mummy and decided to stay to check the program out..
Was stopped by one of the teachers, asking me if I was sienna's mum.... Then I said yes!
She told me I could leave if I wanted to, as Sienna was well behaved the 1st day and that i was not needed...hahhaha
Told her i was there not for Sienna but to see their program...especially their Chinese lessons...and to see how they handle the kids, and what all that goes on!
Baby Skye coincidentally enjoyed his "1st day of school too" :) a few parents commented that baby Skye was the most well behaved kid there...hehehe...
Sienna on a few occasions "protected" her "di di" when a few kids came to snatch his toy...
So far to Sienna, school = play = toys = friends....!!! Hope she can enjoy it as long as possible :)
It's her 2nd day of school and she's already scored a birthday invitation card for a party at school tomorrow!!! YEAY to yummy cakes.... Should this mummy sit in again??? ***Muahahaha....evil laugh***
Okay off to pack a present for the birthday boy
#update - 3rd week of school... She is learning so much!!! coming back and telling stories, singing nursery rhymes, painting, pretending to be the teacher and "teaching" skyler and us - using her flash cards, reciting the DAYS, MONTHS, etc...
She loves her uniform and request for "BOO" hairstyle everyday.... :)
She does cry a bit every now n then when I drop her off coz she want me to "manja" her...and that she is gonna miss me... But all is well when I leave right away and she sees her friends, toys n teachers :)
