My hubby and I finally decided to put my son to nursery after a lot of thoughts. Our initial plan was to start him when he reaches age of 4. However due to problem in getting a babysitter for him, we decided to start him earlier. He is 2 years old, going to 3 next year.

I was with him during the first day. He did not know what to expect, so did I. Obviously I am also learning from nursery. I was amazed what the teacher teaches, to the 4 year old. The teacher said “You cannot say RED color, you say RED. As red is already a color.” WOW, so deep for them. Back to my son, he was all excited when he saw the playground. He loves the playground. There were singing and dancing session, which he loves too. I was amazed that he did not cry.

Second day, I stayed with him for an hour and left quietly. He did not even know that I was gone. I am staying quite near the nursery, I came back to check on him after 2 hours. He was enjoying himself. He was showing me all the “stars” he got when I came to pick him up.

Fourth day, I drop him at nursery. He wants me and dad to sit down beside him. We sat for a while and told him, we have to go to work. He cried, and the teacher came to sayang him. He stop and continue playing. When I came to pick him up, he was very happy and said “Goodbye School”.

Today, fifth day, we drop him and he wave bye bye to me.

I am so glad that it went so well that he did not make a BIG FUSS about school.
