Preparing for Pre-School

In three months time, Mummy and Daddy would be sending you to a half-day childcare. So in the next few months, to ease you into a new environment, mummy has planned the following for you:

1. Immunity boost
Mummy and daddy have gotten you back on your daily dosage of pure fish oil which we bought from Dr Zainal. It comes with Vitamin C and hopefully, you get better immunity since you do not take much fruits (chupa-chupp in orange flavour not counted!).

2. Familiarise
Mummy brought you to the school - Character Montessori and you seem to like the place. We intend to bring you there once in a while to familiarise with the place as well as the teachers. We also brought you to other childcare centres to take a peep at how other little children settle themselves there.

3. Anticipate
This morning when you woke up, mummy showed you some of the school- going children downstairs. You listened attentively as mummy describe to you what school life entails, i.e singing, playing, dancing ...(errh..how true is that?). Sometimes mummy would tell you these children look really really excited and happy going to school. Well, that was really a big fat lie!

4. Taking a Break
Since you will be going to school, mummy and daddy decided not to send you to any enrichment classes with the exception of gym classes to get your motor skills on track. In the next few months, we are just going to chill out, watch some performances, visit some galleries and parks.

Frankly, it is really a tough decision when we decide to send you to a childcare. As much as mummy worries if you get the quality care as compared to home, we do not have a choice. We hope to lessen the burden that Ah Ma has been going through for almost two years and taking care of you should not be a chore. Moreover, we want you to have better breath of air.

So be brave little girl. Mummy will come back at 7 o'clock, as promise always.
