Aloysius went to school.

Yesterday was Aloysius’ first day in school. You must be wondering which school he is attending. Well, mommy here did not visit many schools before deciding. I only put him on waitlist at Nanyang kindergarten and his waitlist number is above 200. I think there’s not much hope there. Then new Shichida kindergarten was being planned. I did not have time to attend the Shichida Kindergarten opening talk by Mrs. Khoo, so I called Mrs Wong a few times in December to ask about how it is going to be like. After some survey and feedback, I narrowed down to either Mindchamps childcare or Shichida kindergarten. I visited these two. On 30 Dec 08, we visited Shichida Kindergarten at Tanjong Pagar. Then we visited both Mindchamps and Shichida Kindergarten at Toa Payoh on 31 Dec 08. hee… a bit last minute rite? I was quite particular of the food Aloysius will be given in class. I looked through the menu, and I will prefer the one at Shichida Kindergarten. I am not for too much meat, food with preservatives, and the highly processed food.

When we were visiting Shichida Kindergarten, we met Mrs. Khoo. I had a chat with her. I could feel her passion and confidence in the Shichida Kindergarten. I paid and left. I learnt quite a lot from her on parenting. She’s a mother of 4. Probably when I have more time, I will write about what I learnt from her. Just a little here. I asked about when to start music classes. She recommends age 4. I also asked her how to cope when all my 3 kids cry at the same time. Hahaha… Sometimes I really lose my cool. She said just say that they are making music together, and the music is beautiful. Another tip is concentrate nurturing the first child and the rest will follow. Hmm… I kinda agree to that yesterday.fv

Ok, back to Aloysius’ first day in school. He was very happy in school. We met the form teacher and I was given a feedback book. Aloysius has 6 other classmates, but only 4 turned up on the first day. I can see Aloysius being a vocal boy in class. He enjoyed the imaginary play room, brainatics room, art room. He also enjoyed his snack! It was mee sua soup, banana and honey lemon drink for Friday.

Ok, I gotta go… Just another brief note. Bernice and Charlene are about 9 months old. They are standing and pushing things to walk. Very soon they will be walking. They are very vocal indeed and dislike it when their things were being snatched away. They are my very happy girls. It’s a very different kind of happiness which I cannot describe having twins. It’s very fun to see them growing up together. In fact, it is more than fun, but I do not know how to describe. Aloysius can play with them sometimes. All 3 of them love to crawl around the house and chasing after one another.

Aloysius, Bernice and Charlene are my precious happy children :)
