2 June 2008: Keira started play school

2 June 2008:

Keira started play school - whatever that is supposed to be called... I still can't quite get it yet, and perhaps that's because I never really want to remember! Play school, pre-nursery, nursery, pre-school.. whatever... !!! To me, she is just going to "school" at age of 20 months to interact with other toddlers, kids...etc. Learn to make friends and learn to share... and learn to be an obedient gal! that's my basic criteria for now. Anything additional.. will be bonus ... frankly, I'll rather she learns stuff like singing, dancing etc... rather than anything that seems too presurizing! I hope for her to grow up enjoying her childhood!

So.. how's first and second day for Keira?

I was really skeptical over the past weeks when we decided to send her to playschool. So, we started her off with half-day this whole week, and then transition to full-day from next week onwards. I thought she'll be kicking big fuss and crying through her first day in school when left alone (coz Karin, her cousin is out of town and not in school this week). Contrary to that, I was told by mum that Keira only cried a little and actually managed to stay in school till being picked up at lunch! WOW.... great job Keira!

Today is Keira's second day....
I was told she did better than yesterday! haha.. wow... another great job Keira! I am so proud of you... please keep up the good job! Teacher said she speaks really well! great job!

For 2 evenings, I asked Keira what she had learnt from school ... and being her cheeky self (or perhaps still not able to articulate her message/thoughts....)... Keira told me "洗手" .. "饭饭".... "包包" ... in response to her ... "What? .. mama paid $XXX per month for you to learn how to "wash hands", "eat rice" and "eat bread" ??? ... haha .... upon hearing me, Keira let off a super loud laugh!
