Off to School for Zhi

It was Zhi's first day of school yesterday. And as we expected, he cried big time the moment we stepped into the new environment. We were both rather worried for him since he's not as independent and vocal like his sister.

Half way through, WF sms that he missed his son and really worries about him. So we went to pick him up early at 4pm. He was really ok and was participating in the activities. But of course, when he saw us, he cried really loudly which we thought was some kind of 'protesting cry'.

Amazingly, the principal told us that he cried only once in the morning and once before his nap. And even told her that he missed his mummy and sister. More surprisingly, he was able to feed himself through breakfast, lunch and tea. He always needed to be fed at home.

And when he was back home, he told me he wanted to 'pass urine' (though nothing came out)!!! After one day in school, he's so much aware of himself? And it took us like weeks of unsuccessful attempts in potty training him.

So I think school works for him. Cruel mummy...

He still cries when I dropped him off at the school this morning. And here's his grouchy morning look when I was trying to take a picture of him in his new school uniform:
