Alycia 1st Day of School

Yesterday was Alycia's first day of school after resting for more than 6 months. As expected, she puked after her milk in the morning. This time, I knew instantly that she was actually nervous going to school. When she first woke up in the morning, she pretended to cough. After her milk, she told me that she had tummy ache and acted as if she wanted to puke. Minutes later, she puked in the sink.

My mil and I walked her to school with Sherilyn tagging along as my hubby had to send his car for service. When she was at the school compound, the teachers were surprised to see her back at school. As it was a Monday, the school kids had to sing Negaraku and the school song. When we were about to leave, she was almost in tears as her mah mah was there and she wanted to 'manja' her mah mah.
Fast forward to yesterday evening. I told Alycia that she had to do her homework but she gave me a host of excuses like hand pain, very tired, pencil is too big, she needs a plaster for her thumb (which was perfectly fine), etc. I gave her a good lecture and she began to put in some effort and concentration.

Hopefully, Alycia will get used to going to school and having to do homework and I certainly hope that she can pick up from where she left behind. Most of her classmates are way ahead of her. Most importantly, I hope Alycia's immune system has strengthened and will not fall sick so easily.

Sherilyn, my little social butterfly on the other hand was so excited being at the school. She was happily mingling with the teachers and as we walked her back home, she kept saying she wanted to go to school. Up until today, she kept saying that she wants to go to school. This morning, when she saw daddy bringing Alycia to school, she wept for a good 1 hour as she wanted to follow too. To stop her from wailing, I had to bring her for a short stroll to the sundry shop to buy some eggs. When she came home, Sherilyn was in a bad mood the whole morning and kept asking where Alycia is.

Wow, I nearly couldn't recognise our little princess!Doesn't she look grownup in her school uniform? Don't worry, she'll get used to going back to school in no time, and will love to, pretty soon.

she will enjoy school eventually, especially if she has made friends with her classmates. She looks cute in her uniform.

She looks so pretty in the uniform. I love her smile :D Hey, maybe Sherilyn can go to school with jie jie already ;D Mommy can have more "me" time then.

Mummy... Alycia has grown taller now. The uniform used to be oversized but now, fits her just right.

Girlie...I hope Alycia will love school soon. Today, it's much better. She didnt puke and she appeared happier.

Barb.... my hubby really wants to send sherilyn to preschool too next yr but i'm just worried her immune system is not strong yet. I think i'll just wait for another yr.

so fun to walk to school, how nice if there is a nice school within walking distance from my house. Funny lar this Alycia, can say pencil too big some more....u are lucky to have an easy Sherilyn. Why not put her into school with her sis? See first how she copes. If she really can't, then can stop anytime.

That is a cute uniform. I've seen some kindergartens using t-shirt and shorts as uniforms.

CHin Nee... i really want to send her to school but i'm just worried her immune system is not strong enough to ward off common sicknesses amongst her classmates.

BP... yes, everyone says Aly looks so grown up now.

Vien...what i dont like about the uniform is that it crumples easily and we hv to iron it.
