Nadine's 1st Day in School

9 January is Nadine's 1st day in school.

Daddy and Mummy started talking about school a month ago, to prepare Nadine. She seemed excited. But then, she had no concept of school.

Getting ready for school. Mummy must have been too stressed out this morning to notice that Nadine's shorts were worn too high. So ah-chan!

With Luanne, who is in the same class as her

Nadine swung from being super sticky to Mummy, to being a rebel, wandering away from the class, doing whatever she wanted, and crying to try and get her way, to helping the teachers to keep stuff. She was not interested to follow what the rest of her classmates were doing nor where they were going. Hopefully she'll learn to be more compliant ... soon!

While everybody obediently sat in a circle to play, Nadine sat in the middle of the circle.

Mummy went on the school bus with Nadine for the journey home. And repeated countless times to Nadine during the bus journey, and for the rest of the day, that Mummy will not accompany Nadine on the bus tomorrow onwards, but she'll be ok, and Mummy will pack some snacks for her to eat on the bus, and Bibi will be waiting for her when she gets home. Nadine kept saying "ok" and "yes" to Mummy. Hopefully, it'll really be "ok" and "yes" tomorrow!
