This week 弟弟 starts to go to school with 姐姐. Our initial plan was totally derailed. It is quite a relief that 姐姐's school principal is OK to take him. He'd start full-day on Monday this week, and teacher will monitor how is he progressing. It's good that it's school holiday week, and he will not get too overwhelmed by classes and cope with new enviroment at the same time. Anyway we chose this school for 姐姐 because it is not so stressful and mundane type. They teach children using songs, dances and even multimedia which is quite fun. Throughout the weekend, we tell 姐姐, 你帮我们照顾弟弟,好吗?She say, 好.
On the first morning, both hubby and I send the children to school. He was pretty excited at seeing the playground and slides, and wanted to play. I carried him inside to look around, and 姐姐 already went to her class. I tried to let him see 姐姐 in class. He wanted to go to an empty class room, and looked around. He cried when teacher carried him, and he spent the first day sitting with 姐姐's class. After all it's school holidays and the children are not fully studying.
The little boy has to be there full-day until we pick him up after work. When I peered into the class, I saw him sitting in a circle with the smaller children. As soon as he saw me, he burst into tears... 姐姐 helped to get his school bag and water tumbler, and her own stuff. While on the way home, she keep telling me, 我有照顾弟弟! 我有拿水罐给他,叫他喝水!我有帮他盖被单~
After dinner when we asked 弟弟,明天可以去学校吗?He said, 可以. We ask, 可以不要哭吗? He said, 不可以,我要哭!Then he laughed. **pengsan**
Second day he still cry when see me when I pick them up. As the week goes by, sometimes he will tell us, 我无哭了!Or sometimes he will still say, 我有哭! Both he and 姐姐 became very good friends this week. 姐姐 help to make sure his comfort blanket is brought back home everyday.
Next week, classes will start. Hope he will be able to cope...
