Officially schooled..

Dear Dillion,

You started going to the childcare in August. We felt bad in placing you in a new environment as it was a hasty call by the centre and we decided to give it a try otherwise we have to be put on waitlist again.

Mummy could not bear to be apart from you. Yes its me whom can't let go as I'm so used to having you as my companion at home and shopping and eating partners when we were out.

I'm not sure how well you be taken care of since we can't be there with you. And also worried that you may give trouble and get turned away by the centre.

The first week was a torture for me seeing you cry at the doorstep of the centre as I hurriedly walked away. Very much wanted to pull you out but Daddy have faith in you and told me that you will be fine.

Come 2nd week, your crying stopped and settled down. Even the teachers there were surprised and complimented you.. so we decided that childcare will be your 2nd home from now onwards and bought 2 sets of uniforms and PT kit for you! They are not cheap.. $60 for 4 sets.

Principal warned me that you may reject and even cry when you see the uniform and told me not to force you to wear it..



I could not sleep that very night on Sunday as I don't know how you will take to wearing UNIFORM? Every morning its so stressful as you will make a fuss whenever you see me carrying your school bag, preparing to leave for school but yet you seem to love going to school so much.

Nevertheless.. I felt so proud and happy that you are finally going to school.. no longer a baby.
