New school for Riyan

Riyan was excited + worried because of Primary 1. While he was excited trying on his new school uniform and carrying his new school bag, i thought he was pretty worried about the whole new experience. New environment, new friends.... back to the topic of being shy again.

Ready for school at 7am...

After school, while waiting for Nurul.

I took 2 days leave just to console myself that he was doing fine in school and that he was eating well during recess. My worries were dumbfounded. He was coping very well, short of talking to his classmates (even if it meant asking their name). He wanted to buy food from the stall, which was a good move. He loved the food, great! Bascially, i think he could be independent.

I think i should learn to let go a little.... cos he's a big boy now.

It was unlike Nurul's P1 time cos i know Nurul was very independent and could take care of herself. I was just as excited for Nurul but not worried at all.

The rules for parents during recess remained the same. NO entry into school canteen. We could only watch from the sides. But the moment i got hold of him before he entered the canteen, i kissed him left, right, centre.

But.... but.... just as i thought the first week went by like a breeze, he was worried again this evening. He almost cried all of a sudden, saying he was afraid he would get lost at the canteen once his P5 buddy no longer took care of him. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH...!!!! Nooooooooooo...!!!!!!! All of us had to convince him that he would be ok, the Muslim stall would be easy to find, his friends would be there with him... etc.... and many, many etc....  

:( ok, now I'm worried. He was always not confident of himself.

They looked like turtles... hehehehehhe

That's him! Just came out of class, heading to recess.

It's obvious i was tailing him...

Bye, Ma.... you can go home now.....
