second day of school

Even before we walked into the school, we could hear some kids crying. Joel was rather unfazed until he changed into his indoor shoes. (But maybe he's blur blur as usual lah) The crying boys beside him made him want to cry too! The teacher had to carry him away from us. I was a little sad to see my poor baby sob...

When Mommy Jo went to fetch Joel home, the teacher said he's (still) good, eat well, slept well. Hmmm... I wonder if they say this to ALL parents! Haha! But he does look better than yesterday. No runny nose, no puffy eyes. (Elvis & i figured that Joel probably had puffy eyes from crying the whole day followed by napping)

Joel also wanted to hold onto my hand while Ahyi pushed the stroller home. On the way to school, he will hold onto Daddy's hand. So fair, huh! We love you, Joel! Hope you'll enjoy school soon. ;)

Whenever Joel reaches home, he'll go and find his soft toys first. Usually, it's his favourite Bear Bear which we bring everywhere but i didnt pack it into his schoolbag. He likes to call to his "gang" - Bear Bear, Mickey, Goofy and Panda - and hugs all of them into the room whenever he wants to drink his milk or go to sleep. He walks straight into our bedroom without telling us and slams the door. Lately, he's added another member to the group. Giraffe. He can barely see where he's going when he grabs the whole bunch. Sometimes, Joel will carry Bear Bear & Mickey, then ask Mommy to help him with the rest. It's kinda cute to watch him with the 5 soft toys. I hope doesnt rope in more soft toys...

P.S. The school has a LIVE online video which we can watch from our homes. But there's a specific timing for each of the class (Mondays to Thurdays only). I'll see how we can download the software and catch a glimpse of how our little one is doing in school. Good or bad, happy or sad...we'll know. ;p
