Stacey's 1st Day Of School

Stacey started her 1st day of school on 3rd April 2017. Was so totally alien to the environment that she took almost 2 hours to warm up to teachers & classmates! Did not participate in the morning songs & dance and clinged onto me like super glue instead. When it was story-telling time, while everyone was seated down and listening to the teacher, she decided to explore her classmates' water bottles in the water bottle trolley and walk around machiam her own home. *facepalm*

Finally warmed up when home-made playdough was distributed and she started playing & nipping it into pieces. She even ate a bit, found it tasty, and wanted to eat some more... Her Chinese teacher, 苏老师 said this is the 1st time she encountered someone eating the playdough.

Perhaps she woke up earlier than usual or perhaps she was hungry, she started getting cranky at 11.15am! Typically she lunches at home at about 11.45am-12noon as I've changed her daily schedule around to mirror school's as close as possible.

When lunch was served and I realised we have been duped for the longest time by this little imp. She scooped her food steadily and ate by herself so well! Usually, she has problem scooping the food and even when we pre-load the spoon, she would sometimes overturn it and place an empty spoon in her mouth instead. At other times, she doesn't even want to lift a finger and want us to feed instead. And she finished 2 bowls of food herself!

As the teachers recommend to slowly ease her in, it was only half day for her and we went back after lunch.
