On the 1st day of school, PaPa fetched XY to kindy although she could follow chik chik's (BIL) car. Her cousin brother, CH, is also attending the same kindy. BIL left after awhile and SIL stayed on to accompany CH (who's adapting very well in school). So I fetched all of them back when school was dismissed. This orientation week, the school hours are shorter.
XY was very happy that her class is called Strawberry 6. Coz she loves pink and red. The names of the classes change every year, depending on the theme. On Monday morning, she was quite reluctant to wake up, as expected. During the holidays or weekends, she can wake up very early on her own but on a school day, it's very difficult to get her to wake up. :-| But today, she woke up once the alarm rang because she wants to be in Strawberry 6. :D I wonder how long this enthusiasm will last.
They had assembly on Monday. XY told me she was asked to raise the flag (together with another student) when they sang Negaraku. This is her 3rd year in the kindy so I guess the teachers know her very well and know how "helpful" she is. hehehe
When I checked her bag, there're only 4 books there. Some of the books have been taken out and kept in school. We got the books in December but I was just too lazy to wrap them. I only wrote her name with a marker pen the day before school reopened. What a lazy mommy. :p When I saw that the books were slightly dog-eared after just one day in the bag, I decided to wrap them. Luckily I have some transparent wrappers at home. So I spent about 1½ hours wrapping them yesterday. Better late than never. hehehe
Now that CH and XY are in the same school, SIL and I can take turns to pick them up after school. But PaPa insisted on fetching his precious to school every morning (like what he's been doing). Guess he just wants to spend as much time as he can with her, even though it's only a 5-minute drive.

Hi Slavemom, I still remember my mom wrapping my school books young days. She used brown paper and would write my name in block letters.
Have fun with the kids....they grow up fast. Best regards, Lee.
This is the time we are tired, right? but then, once they are in school, we have some time for ourselves.
Hey Ginie, try those ready made wrappers, just slip the book in and stick one end. I'm using that. Too lazy to cut and paste.
when they start school, we as a parents are busy too..
It's good that the kindy keeps some of the books. My gal's kindy does that too and now her bag is so much lighter. :)
