School Time!

Bryant started NTUC childcare on last Monday, 14/07/08. I felt awful for sending him to childcare as he is still so young but I want him to be more independent and have proper conversational skills. I hardened my heart and brought him there.

First day was OK as I was with him for the half day. Perhaps I was there, that was why, he was full of mischief! He bullied 3 toddlers by pulling their hair and they cried so badly. They are from the nursery class and are 3 years old! They got angry and refused to play with him, and one even pushed him to the floor! I got a shock and started to worry if it is a bad idea to start him so young. What if he gets bullied by the older toddlers?

I got a shock on second day when Teacher Alice refused to let me into the class! She carried Bryant in and he started to cry. My heart aches. He cried for 30mins and I hid outside his classroom to peek at him and cried at the same time. I couldn't take it anymore and left. Went to market to walk one round and went back again. Teacher Alice saw me from far and called me and said Bryant has settled down and not to worry. I peeked from window and saw him playing with the toddlers and felt more at ease. Went back home to rest and went back to his school at 11am. He was eating his lunch when he saw me and started to cry again. I went in and glued to me and refused to let Teacher Alice near him.

Third Day: He cried when Teacher Alice took his bag and carried him. Within 10mins, Teacher Alice managed to soothe him and he joined the rest for breakfast. I felt so much better and relieved and went back home. Brought MIl down at 12pm to introduce the teachers as she will be picking Bryant in the future. When we reached there, we couldn't find him. He had actually fell asleep while drinking milk. Spaggetti was served as lunch that day and Bryant never eat therefore Teacher Alice made him some milk. When he saw us, he started to cry again and MIL also started to cry.

This is his second week in childcare. As usual, he cries when about to go in but will settle down after awhile. Hope he can get adjusted well and will not cry again. Bryant! Jia You!! :)
