Misha: Starting Kindy

Misha was super excited about school. Santa gave her a school bag and she was so thrilled with being able to put it on and go to school like 'jie jie'. She kept asking me everyday, 'Misha go to school?' like she couldn't believe it. 2nd January couldn't have come fast enough for her (same can't be said for me...dread having to wake up early).

This year school started on a Tuesday. Woke the kids up at 6 am (Meera set her alarm but woke up before it rang! Excited much?!) We dropped Meera off and since we were still early, stopped for breakfast. That did not sit well with Misha...she kept asking us to go to school. 😂

We got there early, parked and got down. Teacher Yi Yi immediately came forward and took Misha. We just followed behind. This round we were better prepared.....no lingering around. Jing took some pictures and we left quite quickly. Misha told us bye quite happily and we left. First week they still don't have uniform yet and school finishes at 12 (normally will be 12.30).

When I fetched her she was full of stories about the whole day. She managed to pee on the bathroom floor (and pour water by herself)! This seemed like a real highlight for her (said it a few times and to anyone who asked her how was school).  She also fell down in the bathroom (slipped cos slippery I think but that didn't really make an impression on her). She also told me she cried cos stomach pain and she asked for me. but 'teacher put oil and then better'. (When I went back later that day to fetch Meera I spoke to Teacher Myrra. Misha complained of pain after break time so maybe she ate too much. Apparently she ate all her food and milk and although it seemed like she was struggling, she refused to stop drinking her milk until it was finished.) Decided to give her less the next day.

Day 2 passed without incident. She only drank a little bit of the boxed milk so decided not to send milk anymore. Will try to get her to drink it in the car on the way to school.
