najwan in school

can't believe I haven't posted about him going to school, kesiaan anak #4, or maybe ibu is in denial that baby is now a pre-schooler.

first day he cried, and mummy gave him a the week off, as mummy was still trying to get things under control.

second, third week and fourth, on and off. on-days were pretty much half-days for him.

last week he was all ready to go, then it turned out there was nobody to send him to school as papa had already left, and mummy, ibu and abah had left even earlier. So there he was in his school uniform with no one to send to school.

the next day, he was up early, he got ready early, by 7, and he waited at the door to make sure he was not left behind and went to school with mummy. That has been pretty much the pattern to date, he would now go to school either with mummy and ibu, no more going with papa which would mean missing assembly.

and he's making friends. his friends are more the 5 and 6 yar-olds rather the his 4-y.o. group. oh well. but he's now sitting with his age group and following the activities instead of tagging behind mummy or ibu.

he's still using his school voice in school -- you have to be close to him to hear it. maybe just a little bit louder is fine, we wouldn't want him to use his home voice which is pretty much town crier #2 (#1 still has to belong to abang de).

and he is so into school work. every night now he would take his "buku belajar" -- the alphabet writing book I bought for him some time ago and works hard at forming the letters on his own.

and he calls himself 'ajen' more nowadays instead of exclusively 'adik.'

*sigh* my baby is growing up.
