Today is his first day in school hence we started him with half day routine first. Being such an active toddler, I was rather surprised that he was very reserved in the first hour. But later on, he started to open up and the difficult time came during his shower. I have been the one showering him for the past one year and I kinda expected that he may put up resistance. But I never thought that he will scream, cry and struggle so badly that the whole center can hear him. And he clammed up after the shower, refusing to let go of his bag and water bottle.
I spoke to the teacher and she said that he was the first to put up such strong resistance during shower. Having gone through this phase the second time, I am definitely more chill-lax as compared to when my firstborn started school. I can still remember when I heard her cries, my heart ached and I ran to a corner to wipe off my tears. But I am more composed this time round and I hope I can help my boy to settle in well soon.
Gosh! They are really growing up so fast! My firstborn is in K1 and my youngest is in playgroup. Where did all the years go?

| Ready for school. Spot the reluctant boy with his sulking face |
 |
| He insisted on carrying / pulling his own bag |
 |
| Balls! His favourite game |
 |
| But he refused to play with the rest |
 |
| Then the cheeky boy crept up next to the only girl in his class |
 |
| Hand-washing time! |
 |
| Block-building |
 |
| Happiest when he left the school |
 |
| This cheeky boy! Hope he will love school soon |
