Will You Still Love Me If I Don’t Win?
I feel sad everytime I had to part with Miloboy at the school gate. He likes to ask me if I misses him when he is at school. I sure do, and he said he missed me too.
Beginning of last week, he asked me if I will come to see him in school, I thought he was referring to his lunch break so I said no, as parents ain’t allowed to help, only can see the kids from afar.
Subsequently, he asked me why he never see me at school. I then realised that he has not yet understand what is happening around him. And I had a good talk with him on being a Primary student. (We did prep him but apparently I think he just shuts off when there are too many mouths saying the same thing.)
He also asked why his sister is not studying in the primary school (my girl is still in Kindergarten Two) and that he wants his sister to be in the same as school as him. Then he rattled on that he wants to be younger than his sister. Its a sign of insecurity???
I felt closer to Miloboy now that I am taking care of him, and we frequently chatted with each other. I just hope he tells me more about his school life, so that I can know how he is actually coping in school.
Well, finally the teachers started their curriculum for my boy’s class today. One parent told me that the other classes have already started. So?
Well, most important thing is the kids are able to adapt to the new school life. At least, that’s what it matters now.

Even though my girl will only be in Primary 1 next year, but I am already worrying about how she is going to cope with it. I don´t mean the school work, but more like the weight of the school bag, and how to buy her food and eat within the time frame during her recess. ha ha ha…

Every parent is worried and I think there are grounds to be worried. Just don’t block the kids from coming out from the school gate. I know you won’t. ^^ Even as of now, Miloboy only knows how to buy from one food stall, and that is the drinks stall. He did got a buddy for the first 2 days but the older kid did not teach him how to buy food from the stalls. Miloboy is a more of a visual learner. The drinks stall displays the kinds of drinks he can get and he just only need to pick one of them and handover the money! Not only Miloboy, but I had seen for myself that most primary one kids are attracted to the stall as it seems the easiest to buy from!
