The Official 1st Day

Renee has been very excited about school after that 1 week school holiday programme.  And despite my numerous reminders on the 'reality' of school when she goes back, I guess it didn't cross her mind that it'd be quite different, hahaha.

The minute she got home after school today, the 1st thing I asked was "how was school?" and Papa answered instead "she said it's no fun" whilst she gave me the 'sian' look.  So,  without saying, I reminded her :

Me : "I've told you many times before, do you remember?  That school'd be quite different from the holiday programme.  Anyway, school's not just for fun, the main thing for you to go to school is to learn, not to play, do you remember that?"

Re : "Ya, I know, but it's really no fun... Mommy, you should have changed Berries class and let me go on Fridays too, 'cos it's more fun that day"(she's overheard the teacher telling me that Fridays are more fun la)

Me : "Do you remember teacher Karen also said that there'd be 'show and tell' on Mondays, so how did it go today?"

Renee : "Today don't have, next week but I know I'd surely be the last one..."

Me : "There, next week you'd have it.  It's not necessarily a bad thing to be the last right?  Especially u're so new to the school, being the last would give you time to find out what you'd have to do from your friends and better prepare yourself"

Renee : "........."

Me : "So, do you still want to continue with the school?  It's not cheap ok, so you'd better tell me now if you don't want to"

After a few hours....
Me : "So how, Renee?  Do you still want to go to the school?"
Renee : "Yes..."
