Marbles

We had been cracking our head how to encourage Seth to go to school without crying...

KP had came out a brillant idea! He bought some marbles with 2 boxes.

If Seth did not cry when he go to school, he will be rewarded for 10 marbles. With that he will be able to exchange for 1 cartoon show for 5 marbles.

We had been sharing with Seth, he seem quite excited about it.

The following day, i sent Seth to school, reminded him about the "marble game". He listened quitely, and in my heart i was thinking, oh no it does not work at all.
I opened the classroom day, Miss Pam and Miss Susan were there.
"Miss Pam and Miss Susan, Seth is not crying today, he is going to earn the 10 marbles and exchange something very interesting..." The 2 teachers gave a big smile:)

Ha ha... u know what happened... IT WORKS!
Seth said bye bye to me and asked me to pick him at 1 pm, with a smile on his face....

No More Crying

Seth woke up happy and said "i want to go to school now, Now!!!!"
Wow thats was really unusual, the very first time.... but why... ha ha... there is a field trip from his school... "make your own bear".

He was really excited, guess he is more excited about taking the coach to the destination.
"mum be quick, i will miss the bus" and he started to cry again. I have to pretend to call the bus driver, " uncle, can u wait for Seth, he dress up very quickly today, he is on his way"
"Seth, uncle said ok" .... immediately Seth smile :)

Seth had made a brown bear with a blue t-shirt . "Mum, my bear is different from my friend. All the boys had a bear with pink t-shirt, only mine is blue.... but all the girls had a bear with blue t-shirt".... Guess i got to check with the teacher...

Full Day Child Care

Times fly, it had been a long time since my last visit ....

Seth had been watching TV at ah ma's house after school from 1 pm to 4 pm almost everyday, thats kind of worried for us. Thus we had decided to put him at the full day child care.

He had started the full day child care about 2 wks ago, it was really heartache to see him crying all the way from home to school. He will find all excuses ... eg. my shoe is too small, i want to eat butter bread, i want mummy to send me to school and stay with me.... just to delay some times. It was a "horrible" routine for KP and me every morning. He is the only one in class who will cry whenever we droped him in class. His helpful classmates will come and talk to him, clear his tears...

We will always look at him at the "viewing room" before leaving, he will be ok after a while. Thats kind of relieve for us, especailly seeing him enjoying his class when he is settled.

Seth will have a nap time in school about an hour. He had not been sleeping. I asked him why... he replied " if i sleep then it will be night time, the school will be my house" ha ha ha...
