The first day of school was basically quite chaotic,in my opinion.Maybe because parents were allowed to enter the classroom with the children and so the kindergarten seemed more packed.
Top left pic:Its half day for the first week. Caleb was sulking at a corner,refusing to wear his nametag or play with his peers.I am quite impressed to see a few kids looking quite comfortable and playing on their own withour their parents around.Caleb was holding on to my hand for dear life almost throughout the session.
top right:Caleb made sure i was no more than 30cm away from him,so while all of them sat down on the floor listening to the teacher,he was always looking at my direction making sure i didnt vanish into thin air.
bottom right: i observed that caleb flaps his nametag according to the rhythm of the songs that the teachers sing rather than clap his hand.Oops,looks like we have a sleepy head here.
nice shot

hey you know in yesterday's post Caleb looks like you in the bottom right corner and like your hubby in the top right side! and a little cool dude on the bottom left corner! i like the hand-holding shot! nice! did Law took that?
and for today's post .... in the last left corner shot, Caleb looks like he is looking at you thinking, "Hmm, I think mommy should be able to manage without me at home lah. So I think I shall try to be brave, mix around and be a little cool dude to let mommy go home. Besides hey there's those two cuties behind me I need to get to know before the dude next to me gets to them! Bye mommy!"
Ahahaha...
Anwyay trust he will cope fine soon enough without you and give you some space for yourself and Ian!
Cheers!

What a beautiful record of Caleb's first day Tyan, I'm sure it won't be long before he settles in and starts to join in with the other children :)
