There was a special coverage which run on Sunday times for parents to prepare our kids for their first day at school. We used to have a lot of problems getting Ethan prepared in the morning drinking his milk and getting changed into his school uniform and had to even enlist my Sis-in-law's help to pep talk him after he had this resistance for 3 weeks. Last year, Ethan displayed this behavior on an occasional basis and we had to force him to go school even without getting dressed in his uniform and 'dumped' him into the school bus. It was only towards the last semester we noticed that he finally enjoyed his school term because he got his rewards for getting his dance steps right for the year end school concert.
Now, after a month and a half break, tomorrow will be a test again for us to get him out of his bed, drink milk and get changed. It seems that he was pretty receptive of going back to school again, but somehow I was worried that he may be resistant again since Caden will not join him for the bus ride from this year onwards. I told Ethan, that he's K1 boy tomorrow and he needs to act like a big brother to those children from nursery classes and take care of them in the school bus. It was only before we lights off in bedroom and he said, " I don't want to go to school.."
Now I became the one to feel jittery.. As for Caden, although he's on the shy side but I believe he's highly courageous to face the new beginnings in his new school tomorrow :)
