His first official visit to his school this morning. We were there to collect his uniform and settle some administrative matters in preparation for him to start school next Monday.
The verdict? He loves the playground, asked me "Where are the other children?" Inside the school, he inquisitively looked around, really keen to visit his new classroom and asked, "Why cannot be in school today?"
I am glad that he is so excited to go to school, although I have some concerns about his fussiness when it comes to his preference for specific types of food. I mentioned that he will have to eat his lunch in school and shared with him about the wide variety of food that the school will serve for lunch.
Mum : There will be porridge, rice with vegetables and meat, noodles and lots of other things.
K : No pizza? No fishball noodles?
Mum : No, but there will be lots of other types of delicious food.
K : Must ask teacher to help me remove the stalk because I don't like stalk (he only eats the leaves when it comes to vegetables).
Before I could add a comment…
K : But teacher will say eat the whole thing. So I will put the vegetables in my mouth and remove the stalk.
It's heartening to hear that he has already made plans on how to manage things by himself if he doesn't get the help he expects…looks like he's on his way to becoming one independent preschooler.
Leaves only for his veggies? Another proof point that he's quite like me in so many ways. Hahaha.
Yeah..fussy like u when it comes to his food 😛
Kyle sure has no problems starting school, he sounds like a friendly and independent boy
He sure is friendly, as for the independent bit…he has yet to be given that opportunity to show his independence. Hopefully, school will be that opportunity.
I'm sure he'll ok at school, going by how he's trying to think through how to cope with the veggies… And with his enthusiastic nature, he'll probably enjoy himself!
I sure hope he does enjoy school
He is so looking forward to school! You are lucky! I like his last remark… so cute!!
I hope his enthusiasm lasts though
Even in his imagination, he goes into details haha. I would never think abt how to settle the stalk issue beforehand. He sure is a very bright kid
Happy schooling, Kyle!
Thanks Hwei Li
