What I did to wake KY up on her Second day at Nursery

Hi folks!

Today, I tried another method to wake her up after my first attempt failed miserably(by scooping and carrying her up to the washroom when she refused to my calls, "WAKE UP, time for school!!" and cried...she never really cry early in the morning unless she is not feeling well.

I switch on her favourite music CD, but this failed too(well, at least not until DH switch on the light), but it did managed to wake up the other guy in the room, i.e., Shone!!

So instead of KY waking up and brush her teeth, it was Shone who got up happily wakes up and brush his teeth haha...

KY woke up only when DH came in and switch on the lights(with KY screaming away! Dislike the lights on when she sleeps) and made fun of her that she don't have to go to school anymore!

Then only KY got up and brush her teeth! And normally by the time she sees her uniform nicely hanged, ready for her to wear, she stopped crying or fussing about!

Hmm..let's see when KY can actually wake up without much fuss!

How's your kid's day at school?

Hope it has been smooth and happy thus far!

Cheers!

KY First Day at Nursery

Hi folks,

Time really flies....My dear little KY finally enrolled into a nursery(at very last hour) after one whole year of nagging me and DH to bring her to school.

She is not even 4 yet, but very eager to go to school! Hope this spirit continues till she go University! Haha...

On the first day, she cried when I had to wake her at 7:15am as her nursery starts at 8am and we had to get her prepared, brush teeth, take breakfast, etc.

She refused to wake up and had to be carried by me to the washroom. I had to brush her teeth for her(normally she would happily do it herself, provided she is fully-awake, at this point of time, her eyes are still fully shut with tears falling as I quickly brush her teeth and wash her face).

After cleaning up, she finally stopped crying when she saw her uniform!! Yippee, I am going to school, she said! Oh well....

Then since she refused to drink her milk, I made her favourite drink, i.e. Milo(I normally don't let her drink that much 'cos she tend to get heaty and sorethroat). One now every day I heard the nursery gave her Milo(slap forehead!) and sweet(my Goodness...all the forbidden food that she likes!!!!). And I made her bear-like kaya bread (made with cookie cutter I bought at Daiso, you can check how it looked like here) for her to bring along to nursery.

I found that KY's habit very much like DH.

• Not an early-waker(she normally slept past 8am).
• A night sleeper(sometimes she can watch movie with her dad till late at night!!).
• Not an early breakfast person(much like DH)
• Loves drinking soft drink(I limit it to 100 Plus), eating ice creams and junk food(I limit it to non-fried rice crackers but her dad sometimes give her Cheezel...her favourite! Too salty for me!)

And, Shone is very much like me and what's my habits like? All the opposite of above! lol...As the saying goes..."Opposite attracts!"

Okey, stay tuned for more updates on KY adventure at nursery!

KY going to nursery?!

Yes, I have enrolled KY to a nursery!!!

And these are some items I bought from Tesco Back-to-School promotion. Actually it was an impromptu purchase as it did not crossed into my mind that I should be getting these for her as she'll be starting her nursery soon!! And actually I quite like that lady-like looking white Pallas school shoes, it's very comfy and lady-like unlike those we wore last time, rite mommies :P. And it only cost RM18.90, which I think cheaper than the sport shoes I bought for KY last Chinese New Year??!!

Wow..I feel like I am stepping into another mommy zone....which consist of schooling children, homeworks, exams, etc...wow..wow..cannot imagine that! From baby-hood, toddlerhood and now it's a new adventure for me, catching up with current education and other extra-curricular activities(range from UCMAS, Kumon, etc, etc,...wow...but pray that I don't go into the extreme and neglect the most important fact that KY should have interest in those before committing to send her to one!!!!)

As much as I love to homeschool her but as I am still a FTWM(Full-time Working Mom), I cannot find sufficient time to coach her properly.

So best to enrol her to a nursery and she's been asking me to send her to school ever since last year!! Hopefully her desires to go to school persevere! :)

Cheers everyone!

Happy New Year and have a Great Year!
