Day 1 of School

A little girl in line before them,  to be checked for HFMD and fever,  started crying and that got Mr Liow worried.  Crying can be contagious!

Surprisingly, ER wasn't affected by her. He was constantly distracted by AN who kept playing with him.

She brought him in and he didn't even look back at us.

We saw her showing him where to place what and Mr Liow said he saw our cheeky one waving to everyone in sight.

When I went to fetch him, Miss Cindy said she washed him. He wanted to shower because the rest of the kids showered. She was apologetic because she didn't know I said no shower needed.

I actually meant that he didn't have to be showered if he did't want to. AN never showered in school. She was uncomfortable with anyone else touching her body except Mr Liow, my mum and I.

I'm surprised ER wanted to shower.  Hehe.

AN later feedback that ER cried when she had to leave him and go back to her own classroom. But Miss Cindy said he calmed down soon after.

He was only a little lost and uncomfortable because he was the only boy in class, the thorn among the roses. She said more boys will be joining him in the next few weeks.

SHEKINAH does seem to attract more girls than boys. AN has more girl classmates than boys too.

Got to know that he's in the Discoverer Class, which is effectively PG with the toddlers. It's like an induction program for the next couple of months because N1 may be too overwhelming for a new preschooler. He's having montessori lessons in a different classroom from the older N1 kids for now.

No wonder I sAw Miss Cindy carrying a toddler when I went to fetch him from school.
