Angeline's First Day of School - 5 Jan 09

Finally, it's the "BIG" day for Angeline. Daddy was so nervous the night before and kept asking if anyone will bully Angeline or not. On my side, I was so positive that she will be happy to go to school.

However, I do have my share of worries - I wondered if she can really get used to school, is she able to communicate to the teachers and friends, will she be happy in school and the list goes on and on....

Let’s do a recap of Angeline’s first day of school…

Date : 5 Jan 09 Monday

Daddy, Mummy and Uncle William took leave to accompany her to school today. School is from 10am to 11am for today.

Before school feeling : Happy when she woke up. Wanted to wear her uniform and school shoes asap.

When she was walking to school, she was so happy and kept running to the direction of school. Once she reached the school gate, she became nervous and started biting her finger ~ first sign of nervousness.

When it's time to go into the class, she started to give me a very sad face. I told her "don't worry, Mummy will be waiting for you outside at the door" but it's useless!!!

In the end, I told her "Daddy will go in with you, ok?" She was so happy when she heard this and Daddy went with her to attend an hour of lesson.

Daddy commented that she was alright in class but she was not paying attention to what the teacher was teaching. Throughout the class, she kept looking at Daddy and make sure that Daddy is still around.

But she enjoyed her Art & Craft - hand printing on paper plate.

After school feeling : Wanted to go back to school but Mummy and Daddy must go in with her.
