Look Ma, I am in P1!

It has been slightly more than one week since Xin Rui started her Primary One journey. She seemed neither nervous nor scared. On her first day, she simply put on her new school uniform all by herself and quietly waited for us to bring her to school. When I asked if she was scared or nervous, she just shook her head. I think my hubby and I were more nervous than her. But I beamed with pride as I saw how good she looked in her uniform, just as I had imagined in the past.

Xin Rui adjusted to her new life at the primary school much better than I anticipated. There she was crying and throwing tantrums when we first sent her to the childcare centre. And now, she is slightly more confident and surprise surprise, no tears at all. She still throw a little tantrum now and then when she cannot expressed what she wants or she insisted that the cover of the drawing block was different from the teacher and her classmates, and hence 'is not correct'. But these are mild compared to the times she refused to put on her uniform to go childcare and I basically had to carry and hold her in the car as she will just open the car door and attempt to run home.

Fortunately, that phase has passed. :P

Now she is just an adorable girl without her front tooth, did I mentioned she dropped her front tooth on the first day of 2016? I know I am biased but I still think she looks adorable, even without her front tooth. Haha!

While there will be more stress in future from exams etc, I just hope that she will enjoy her time in primary school for now and hopefully for the next 6 years to come.
