Little Darling's 1st Week In The Childcare Center

Daddy bye-bye! Mummy bye-bye! Little Darling likes to say so happily when he carrying a bag! But I was wondering and doubtful that he will really so happy when he goes to school or he will cry for weeks since he was sticking to me badly since born!?


03 Nov 2008 Monday
First day Little Darling in the childcare center. Many kids were happily dancing and singing at the common hall when we reached. But he was more keen to play with all the toys on the racks. He joined and enjoyed himself playing with the group only when teacher gave them instruments like shakers, tambourines, bells etc Else he clinged tightly to mummy and sat aside remains as viewer.

After music session, teacher brought them to their classroom for Chinese stories telling. Again Little Darling pulled mummy along to sit next to him. Children songs and rhymes were introduced too during the half an hour session. Though most of the kids in the class are foreigners but their Chinese better then our Little One!!! :-(

Mummy intended to let Little Darling stay till lunch break. But teacher suggested to let him try to eat together with the rest of kids. Little Darling learned to hold spoon and scooped porridge but did not put into his mouth properly. He got a slice of apple but did not want to eat after one bite. This is one of my worry --- would not eat if do not push him!


We left the center at around 12noon when the rest of the kids were preparing to shower. Little one told me he was happy when I drove him home. I understood because mummy around and I very sure that he will cry when I am not around.........

We stayed home as the childacre center was closed today because of their concert rehearsal.

05 Nov 2008 Wednesday
We met another two new comers (one enrolled same day as Little Darling and a girl who was there for two weeks already) this morning. Both were crying which I think Little Darling will join them next week. How? I really don't have faith....... :-(





No lesson for toddlers’ class today. Two teachers were looking after them at the Gym Room and letting them to play with toys while K1 and K2 kids were practicing their singing at the common hall.

We left at around 12.45noon but I told Little Darling he will stays whole day in future and daddy or mummy will fetch him only in the evening. ‘ Don’t want! Darling don’t want!’ as expected from him.

Mummy told him tomorrow he has to stay in the center with teachers and friends while daddy and mummy go to work. He has to listen to teachers, read books and plays with friends. Must take porridge and drink water. Let teacher change him after lunch and mummy will fetch him home for nap immediately after he change. He sometimes said ok, sometimes said no. :-(

Daddy’s turn to bring Little Darling to class as mummy has to go to new office for SOXA meeting (though officially start 10 Nov).

Mummy physically sat in the meeting room but totally cannot concentrate, simply couldn't stop worry our Little one. Since born, this was the first time he staying in a new environment without daddy or mummy’s company. .Mummy flew back to the center immediately when the briefing was end and reached the center at about 10.35am.

Mummy peeped from the window, Little Darling was playing puzzles with and an ang moh boy. What a relief that he was not crying. Teacher sneaked out to tell mummy that he was absolutely fine and asked mummy continue to observe from out without his acknowledgement. He followed the rest to their mini canteen for lunch.

He tagged to Teacher Pan who took over him this morning when daddy leaving for work. He followed teacher to collect bags for shower and saw my car, he pointed to the car and said mummy mummy! I was so careless to park my car just in front of the center. Little Darling non-stopped telling teacher mummy mummy but teacher tried to distract his attention by asking him to help to carry bag. Little Darling refused to help!!!!!!

Little Darling refused to let teacher change his diapers and cloth though mummy has reminded him that he shall let teachers do so. I was quite happy that he was not cry at all till I appeared to fetch him home at around 1pm.

Mummy has reminded Little Darling that he has to stay in the center with teacher and friends till afternoon. Mummy will fetch him home only after he wake up from nap (planned to fetch him at 3pm). Mummy hand over Little Darling to teacher and hide at the outdoor playground to ensure that he is fine before I leave. He was struggled and cried a while but stopped and calm down within 5 minutes time. I left him in the center and heading home myself.

I rushed back to the center around 1pm worried that he would cry. True enough our Little one was wailing, refused to nap and drink milk. Planned failed, I have to bring him home for his afternoon nap.
