EJ's first day at preschool yesterday was a semi-success. I like to look at it in a positive way =)
My plan was to stay out of the classroom and hang out at the office. But fifteen minutes into my day dreaming, it was thwarted with a crying baby being carried out of the classroom by one of the aunties.
When he saw me, his eyes immediately lit up and he smiled. I was ready to go home but he wanted to go back inside on one condition. I have to be there. Of course, I obliged. It was his first day at school anyway. I didn't want to scare him.
Back inside, he seemed okay. He answered correctly when the auntie asked him the color of the cup. He even answered the rest of the questions even if it was not directed at him. All correct if I may add =)
He really liked the interaction with other kids. He finds his classmates funny. And he likes to talk to them.
I was also surprised that he sat down for lunch yesterday. And I was even more surprised when he ate on his own and ate more than his usual. He even let an auntie led him to the wash area to wash his hands. Which reminds the bath fixtures inside the classroom are cutie. Perfect for toddlers =)
He was really having a ball yesterday.
I know separation anxiety is normal but I am just a little bit worried. Sigh.
I was planning to stay the whole time at class today to reassure him. Unfortunately we weren't able to go today because EJ wasn't feeling well this morning.
He woke up at around 6AM and he was feverish already. I gave him paracetamol and after a while he went back to sleep. He woke up again at almost 10AM. And even if we coould still make it to school late, EJ was still running a fever.
So we're just home today.
I guess we'll just go to school on Monday. I need to talk to him more and prep him for school.
