This little boy of ours, started pre-school last week. We got a free 3-days assessment.
Over the weekend, we kept reminding him that he will start schooling. Not sure if he understood, heck, he's only 2 1/2 yo!
Both of us couldn't sleep, nervous, I don't know.. imagining the worse.
The day came, we all woke up early. Mandikan dia, sangat express tapi siaplah shampoo & gosok gigi.
I made Nutella sandwich for his 10:30am break, and also brought a banana for him to snack as well. He couldn't wait for it. All the way to school he kept asking for it, jadi before masuk class I gave him a piece of the sandwich and dengan cutenya, sambil jalan ke sekolah, dia pun happily makan...
We got to his school, bukak pintu.. bukak kasut.. dia masih confident jalan depan when they showed us his classroom. Walau dah introduced to his teacher, he was all good.. mata dah terpegun tengok how colourful and exciting the room was.
We bid our goodbyes and both of just balik ke office.
Oh boy! We were expecting some tears at least. Atau perlu pujuk untuk dia masuk ke class but oh no he didn't. It went so well that both of us was shocked to see how cool he was.
Dad fetched him from skool on the 1st day, when the cikgu gave him his bag and terus berlari dia dapatkan Dad dia... first thing he asked "Where's Mom?" Awwwwwww...!! He was all happy.
2nd day, I pulak hantar and ambil dia... again, I packed for him the Nutella sandwich cause he liked it. Insisted that I didn't letak his bekal in the bag, sebab dia nak pegang sendiri. Wahh. Berlari jugak dia ke sekolah. Sampai ke gate, terus bye saja. Sekali he patah balik, and asked me to come along with him. Rupanya his classroom's door was shut. Hehe. Dah masuk & kiss me good bye dia pun masuk ke class and terus duduk & main. Masa ambil dia pulak, he was happy to see me. He wanted to tengok fish, I cari-cari tapi tak jumpa... harus la terus nangis when I say that we had to leave. Aiyo.
On his 3rd day, we both went to send him cause haritu jugak ada meeting with the owner of this kindy. buat assessment utk 3 hari Rayyan dah kat situ and also a get to know session. All went pretty well. The feedback that we got :
1. They were impressed that Rayyan never cried or asked for his parents
2. He participate in class cuma tend to find a spot so he can do it alone
3. Not a social butterfly
4. Suka imagine
5. Kurang makan
We are glad that the owners was in the same page as we are. They will help us on the part where Rayyan doesn't eat much. Maybe by tengok kawan-kawan dia makan, dia pun nak jugak...
Everything seems to be OK now. It wasn't easy for us to find him a play school, I've been asking around, went to a few places but only this place that I find it 'different' and 'kisah' pasal students and most of all... its learning thru play.
Rayyan is so much into learning. He's rajin at reciting the ABCs, 123s, shapes, animals & song. Masa mandi or just anytime. apa yang kita rasa is, he needs this. Sekali boleh socialize, mix dengan kawan2 baya dia.
