All the waiting moments have finally arrived!
Today is Eeanne first day to kindy! It is just a walking distance from our house! (purposely chosen)
Mommy and daddy were so excited and took leave to bring Eeanne to school, even mama was also joining and anxious to see Eeanne carrying her bag and walk to school, haha!
Mommy set the alarm clock at 6.30am but forgot to turn on the button:-? (silly) Luckily daddy woke up sharp at 7am. Actually both daddy mommy hardly fell asleep the night before, we were so excited to see Eeanne at schoolJ
So how did my little princess react in the morning 7am? (this lazy bug is used to wake up at 9am).
7.15am-mommy was almost panic as Eeanne used her pillow to cover her whole face to turned back to mommy’s call! No choice, mommy had to carry Eeanne and forced her to go into the washroom. So all the wash up and dress up were carried out in a blink and we settled at down stair at 7.40am(really mo…)
7.40am-mommy tied Eeanne’s hair and gave her a few spoon of her usual vege drink and half sausage(mommy already gave her a bottle of milk upon wake up at 7am while Eeanne was still sleeping). Mommy’s initial plan to self make a 爱心breakfast for Eeanne is just remain a plan (pai se) as mommy was too rush to make all things in such a short period of time! Luckily kakak had already fried an extra sausage, thus mommy just put it into Eeanne’s lunch box with a slice of bread, that was enough to make mommy felt so contented..haha.
7.50am-Mommy daddy each gave Eeanne an 1st day schooling Ang Pow (so "lou tou"), after make a prayer to the Buddha statue, 4 of us walked across the road to the school gate. We thought we were late but Eeanne was one of the first few early birds! When we reached, mommy realized that we have forgotten Eeanne’s water tumbler (see how clumsy mommy is..;-/), luckily we are so near that daddy made a trip back to take the tumbler…
The moment Eeanne went into the school, she was asked by the teacher to say goodbye to mommy and daddy, and sure you are Eeanne just waved and smiled goodbye to us! No sign of clinging, she was so fully attracted by all the small children, can’t wait to join them! ;-0
Suddenly mommy felt a sense of loss…Eeanne is having her own circle of friend now, no more needing mommy as her close companion..sob sob…
We spent half an hour to observe Eeanne to ensure she is really ok…(later after school, we received the comment from teacher that Eeanne is very very OK and steady J despite seeing all the crying from the newbies. (feel so proud..haha)
By this time, mommy and daddy were having the same loss feeling, we almost shedding our tears…(sampat). Finally we left the school after seeing her went up to her 4yo class at up stair. (we returned after 1 ½ hour to peep through the door and found Eeanne was really enjoy herself..hehe)
The school recessed at 12noon, by the time we reached again to the kindy, Eeanne was already waiting for us with her bag, she looked tired and asked “can we go home now?” (after reach home with a milk fed and shower, Eeanne had her long 2 hours nap which is unusually longer than her usual only 1 hour nap)
So mommy daddy made it a point to make sure Eeanne brief us on her school life every day, so she vividly told us part by part that mommy needed to fix her story puzzle to guess what was really the sequence of her activities.
So...finally my little princess has grown up!
There will be more stories to blog on her school embarking experience...mommy is really looking forward to share her another stage of growing adventure...:-)
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness and I have to sit down for a while, the feeling that I’m loosing her forever and without really entering her world. I’m glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time, I try to capture every minute the feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time.
Do I really see what’s in her mind? each time I think I’m close to knowing...she keeps on growing, slipping through my fingers all the time.
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table, barely awake I let precious time go by. Then when she’s gone there’s that odd melancholy feeling and a sense of guilt I can’t deny. What happened to the wonderful adventures, the places I had planned for us to go? Well.. some of that we did but most we didn’t and why I just don’t know.
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture and save it from the funny tricks of time. Slipping through my fingers....

Congratulation! Eeanne did a great job for her first day of school. New life of her was just begin :) Maybe because she's your first child (and only child ah?) so you got sort of feeling. My Mom, she had 3 kids, and as far as I know, she just acted usual when my baby brother first stepped into kindy world. I think Eeanne will feel very special when she grown up and read this post, I confessed that I want to have only 1 child so I can make my child feel special hahaha... School life will be tougher as Eeanne grows, just be sure you'll always accompany her, because me as a teenager truthfully fight on my battlefield all by myself and often feel tired cause my Mum distracted enough by presence of my siblings to care about my school hahaha that's just a suggestion from me....
Anyway once again congratulation ya ^_^
LOL, wow... you even prayed before sending her to school and gave her auspicious ang pao some more, kudos!
It's actually a phase that every child has to go through, It's definitely another great milestone archived, congratulation! She has done really well!
Cheer up, love your reminisce anyway!^-^
@Angie: Yeah..Eeanne is my only child, think that is why I'm so attach to her.:) My advice is not to follow my step to only have 1 child, it is kind of unfair to them especially they are so lonely and crave for playmates, furthermore, with single child, they will really grab lots of your attention until sometimes you can't breathe...haha.
@Alice: haha..my hubby is a very uncle old man type, all of these rituals are inherited from him..;). Yes it is indeed another milestone for Eeanne, can clearly see the changes (esp on attitude) even after 1st day of school..;)
Bravo Eeanne, Bravo Mummy!
