week 2 of school 2011

We all survived yet another week of school!

Titus is adjusting well, with or without me, thank God.

Monday was the first time he took the school bus home. He was very good in school. After school was over, I walked him down to the school bus, holding his hand. I showed him the bus and told him that he was going to take the school bus to grandma's place. He started crying and wanted to take a TAXI!! Aiyoh! He then wanted me to carry him, and what could i do but carry him? He clung on to me like a koala bear! didn't want to get on the bus at all! oh well! i got on the bus with him. yes, with him! thank God my classes were over. So, anyway, we both got on the bus and got sent to mount faber peacefully. End of Monday.

The rest of the week passed by rather peacefully where school bus was concerned.

In school, this Mummy observed that Titus tended to play with his food. He would use his spoon to go round and round his bowl of food. Grrr. And the teacher at his table was so bloody bo chup. I could not take it, and each time I saw this happen, I would just go to Titus and feed him. He was served cereal on Monday. It was disgustingly big. Honey stars mixed with some big-sized round cereal. Not at all enticing. And of course, knowing my son, he was also not enticed by the disgusting-looking cereal. Anyway, for the few days i was around, i was feeding Titus and making sure he wasn't playing with his food.

Colleagues informed me that Titus was addressing his chinese teacher as Aunty. Haha! Well, his class teacher was the one who informed me. She started off by asking me if Titus disliked chinese lessons, cos he liked to walk around the classroom during chinese lessons, instead of sitting down on the mat. well, we thought that maybe Titus was being cheeky with lao shi. haha! We observed Titus for a few days, and discovered that whoever he was not familiar with, he would address as Aunty. So, it was not a matter of cheekiness, but at least he knows how to address pple!

I'm glad and I thank God that Titus is coping well in school. He is learning well and making new friends. Each time he walks with his partner or a new friend, he would ask "what is your name?" Aiyoh, so cute! I pray that he will enjoy school and be a happy boy in school!
