As we moved to a new area, we had to find another new kindergarten for my son Xiang and my daughter Qi. Actually we had a hard time deciding on this kindergarten, but finally we decided to give it a try.
Xiang started his 5 year old on 3rd Jan (Monday). On the first day, he didn't want us to accompany him to school, insisted on just dropping him in front of the door and let the teachers brought him in. How relief and happy we were when we sneaked in to have a peak on him, found out that he's not crying at all. A picture of him on the first day, he's very gan-cheong at that time actually, not wanting to speak to us and just nodding or shaking his head answering us. I guess that I was very gan-cheong too, didn't notice his slanting t-shirt until I post this up ^_^:
But at night, he was crying loud and throwing tantrums that he didn't want to go to school. He told us that he's scared. Luckily, the 2nd day he went to school without fuss or crying. *phew!!!*

Qi started her 3 year old class on 7 Jan (Friday), she told me that she wanted me to accompany her. Therefore, I accompanied her on that day, standing at the side of her class. She's doing great, no crying. She let the teacher brought her to toilet, playing toys with other kids, lining up to wash hand during snack time, eating on her own, cooperating with teh teacher and enjoying the singing time.
Then like a virus infected by her brother, she too cried on the night before her 2nd day to school *sigh...*, I knew that she's scared and tried comforting her by reminding her how she enjoyed her first day in school. I guess that this little girl is too scared to think or to be reminded, even asking me to stop talking and SLEEP!
This morning (her second day in school) she's doing great again, I let her down in front of the gate and she waved bye-bye to me. Again, sneaky-fox-mommy went sneaking on her and was really relieved that she was sitting on her place, no crying. When picking her up, she smiled and proudly told me that she didn't cry, therefore she got 2 stickers from the teacher (good treats from teacher!)
