Today, hubby dropped Justin at school after 10am and left immediately. When I went there after my class at about 11.30am, the kids were having music class in the other room with the door closed. I didn’t hear any kid crying, so Justin must be enjoying himself inside.

I talked to the principal about how he’s doing. Apparently, Justin cried for daddy after he left. He didn’t want any teacher to be near him, except one. He sticked to that teacher the whole morning!

When the music class ended, and the kids were coming out from the room, I heard him crying for mommy. This time, mommy was really here! The teacher said he’s ok, cried once in a while, but managed to stop and enjoy himself too. I was glad to hear that.

We didn’t leave immediately. Justin had to stay for lunch, and he wanted me to sit beside him. The boy sat opposite him was enjoying his porridge really well, kept telling me “Good, this is good, I like it” and Justin followed him “Good, mommy this is good, I like it”.

I was holding back my laughter as I know Justin doesn’t really like porridge, he prefers rice! But he’s imitating the boy! The boy finished his lunch quite fast and asking for more. Justin tried to do the same, but he was too full to ask for more, he took water instead.

I’m so happy to see him being so obedient eating by himself. He’s willing to eat by himself at home, but seldom finishes the meal and I or my maid has to feed him. Maybe he is at school, that’s why. He’s learning from the other kids.

I think I made a right choice enrolling when he’s still young. It’s only Montessori style where he will learn at his own pace, no homework no books (except reading session). That’s the kind of education system I like my kids to have.

After lunch, we left, and Justin waved bye-bye to everyone, but he still refused to hug the principal. :P

He’s so tired when we got home. He took more than 2 hours nap in the afternoon, and went to bed before 9.30pm! That means I have more free time blogging!!! :)

  1. Justin seem to take school experience very well. Like you I feel montessori is good especially at this young age. If only our formal education system is not so rigid, montessori approach would be so ideal.

  2. WMD, that’s really how I feel. Anyway, as long as he’s enjoying himself, it’s ok to me.

  3. oh, he doesn’t seemed to feel bored there, but kind of like it. luckily ya..thx me for my recommendation la…
