Raeyen's 1st day of school

Today (at 2 years, 5 months, 3 weeks & 3 days old) is a little milestone for Raeyen as he started school at Kieran's kindy. Hubby and I were excited as we prepared him for his little journey into pre-nursery.

He was as excited as he finally could follow his gor-gor to school, just like a big boy. Happily we went to the car as we drove to the school. He chanted, "Raeyen go school!"

There were many parents like yesterday, Kieran took him to the line where the little ones were and his principal praised him for doing so. We stood far enough to avoid Raeyen from seeing us yet we could still see him. He was nonchalant and looked around the sea of children who dressed like him. He was the same throughout the assembly as the children sang and prayed for a birthday boy, all the children and new students.

After all the children were led to their classrooms, some teachers took care of Raeyen as he went (8am) an hour earlier than most pre-nursery kids. We were relieved that he behaved and was at ease with the staff. He didn't express any separation anxiety after spotting us and even bade us goodbye.

I couldn't stay for long today due to work but hubby did. He waited for him to return by school bus at the foot of our block at about 11.30am. He called me and said Raeyen returned home a cheerful boy. I was very happy to hear that and let's hope he stays the same in the days to come.
