First day back in school

Yesterday was Victoria's first day back to school, after a good 1.5months break. She's now in the P1 Class for the 4 year olds, and there are, at last count, 8 pupils in her class including herself. Not a big number, but bigger than last year's and it's a good way to start the kids, so that there is a smaller ratio between teacher and students, and naturally more attention.

She was happy, and I think excited as well, as we've been giving her pap talks, and preparing her mentally and emotionally for this day. In the morning, she's been good, and wore her new uniform which is a dress. She had her rice with potato and pork chop breakfast, and Daddy sent her to school as per previous practice.

This week is Orientation Week for the kids, which means that school starts at 830am to 1030am. Next week onwards, it will be 815am to 1215am. Sigh, I will definitely miss my "late" mornings.

When I picked her up from school, I waited outside her classroom and look for her amongst all the new and some familiar faces. Then I saw her, and her smile was one of the sweetest. The welcoming look. I'm glad she had a good day in school, marking a good start, albeit just a little bit of tears in the morning when Daddy dropped her off.

Still the sleepy look during breakfast time

Just one smile please, before you go.

OK, I'm ready!
