Darius @ ChildCare

It has been almost close to 2 weeks + since Darius starting attending Childcare (full day , 8am- 530pm @ Mulberry Jurong East. He is in the PN class

Let's take a look at some snap shots on the 1st day at school on 16 July 2012 (of course, Daddy and Mummy accompanied him up to 1230pm.... Woooo... tiring. we took leave ok!)

Day 1( 17 July 2012)
We (Parents) tried to make a super duper happy night before and a good morning for Big D.
He had his way, strolling along the small garden, curiously wondering how come there's this extra item- The Chuggington School bag :). Of course, not forgetting his great pal - Elmo for security.

When we reached, Big D is really interested in having cereal breakfast ( Food always have it's way with him), as the class moves on with activities, Big D never fail to check to double confirm daddy and mummy's presence. Occasional cries, tantrums and whimpers.... Bathing time we totally let Teacher to handle only to return with a comment " it was really bad"... I guess Big D just have to get use to the routine. y mid day, Big D is super hungry and SURPRISE! When he saw the food served in kiddo's bowl and spoon, he just naturally picked up spoon and scoop porridge into his mouth. Milestone achieved! We have been trying the get him to self feed but only managed to be successful with Macdonald's Pancake .... He can do it! - We call this survival needs. :)

Back home after dinner, Daddy suggest that to help him get use to bathing time at school, we gonna tie him up using towel same as what is done at school. He obviously hates it

Day 2 ( 17 July 2012)

We had plans to let Big D try to be without Parents for Day 2.
The usual prepping Big D with ' happiness' in the garden, find the cat , touch the leaves...blah blah, then hop on to the car with Sesame street video of Elmo/Ernie and grover singing their lungs out.
Great, en we arrived we greeted with one Good news and another Not so good ( well let's forget about the bad news)
Day 2 is library visit day - Jurong Regional Lib, that's where those Kiddos are heading to at 930am~
omg - the very thought of the last visit to the same lib just made daddy and mummy face turned green. We warned teachers - The last time we brought him there , he threw a terrible two tantrum and cleared ( or MESS, pull...) all the kiddo books on one very shelf ALL ON THE FLOOR.... daddy had to drag him out and the librarian reprimand both Father and son, while Mum with a big tummy gathered help from other kind angels to put those books back.
And now, Day2 of childcare - He is going to the lib? Teachers suggest we meet him there while he takes the bus together with the rest. Darius was pulled away from us and had assembly in the " Lab" where they did singing and interactives. Teacher Erna managed to stop him from those tears...and we sneaked away for breakfast ( Old town @ Jcube) before walking across to Library.

By the time we reached, kiddos of Mulberry are already at basement level with their teachers. We became PAPARAZI...... take a look. He is fine without us... we observed him from far. For a split second - We are proud of him for being independent... * wink*

So Darius left with the group and we headed back to school to peep on him, So far since we left him in the care of Teachers , for Day 2, he has been coping well without our presence up to 11am.

And finally he fell asleep, we fetched him that's about 1pm. End of Day 2.
