Hannah has been with her nursery school for a full one term of 10 weeks now. The both of us decided it was about time to speak to her teachers and see how she\u2019s been in school. We do get the regular report cards, updates from her Nanny who picks her up after school everyday, but nothing beats talking to her teachers on-site.<\/p>\n

We made the decision to drive her to school this very morning, and with the benefit of hindsight now, we might not want to do it again. Hannah bawled when we tried to leave her with her teachers. She normally has no difficulty arriving in school by her bus everyday, so it was just separation anxiety again on her part. Her wore her very swollen eyes from that wailing for the rest of the school morning, up till when we returned to pick her up and speak to both her teachers. From them: Hannah gets along very well with her classmates and seems quite well-adjusted and happy, and loves to sing. Then again, her teacher remarked that when Hannah cries, she takes forever to stop LOL.<\/p>\n

I was also taken aside by her Chinese teacher too who\u2019d noticed that Hannah seems rather disinterested when her class watches videos of Chinese songs to learn the language, and asked if we speak Mandarin at home. Whoops \u2013 the truth is out now.=(<\/p>\n

Pictures. These were all taken after school when we picked her up.<\/p>\n

And this was 2 hours after her arrival-in-school wailing. Eyes still real swollen! She’s wearing Crocs too as Fridays are when she has her water activities at school.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Clinging onto Mommy. She barely whimpered her goodbyes to her teacher.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The toy-snake we bought her last weekend couldn’t cheer her up either.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She finally cheered up a little over lunch at Toast Box. Shortly thereafter when we went to a store to look for a toy drum set (she’d been asking for it), she had a, well, bodily function accident.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a pretty tough day, if the number of times she bawled is any indication. She bawled in the morning at school, bawled at the store when she had that \u2018accident\u2019, bawled when she didn\u2019t want to go to her Nanny\u2019s in the afternoon, and bawled when she was put to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
