August 1, 2016, a very exciting day for everyone.  Ethan started his first day of school.  Henry took him to school on the Croozer trailer bike.  And I was free for the entire morning until Kayli woke up.  All day I look forward to go to school just to spy on him.  I arrived school an hour early just so that I can see how he is adjusting at school.  When I arrived, he was so focused in eating his cake.  I saw him sitting with the other kids, ate on his own and walked up to the teacher and asked for a second serving of cake.  At that moment, I was relieved and happy to see that he is enjoying school.  I was such a proud mother when the teacher said that Ethan did not cry, although other kids in class were crying and crying.

Apparently Ethan was completely confused on the first day of school.  Day 2 onwards, he resisted going to school “verbally”.  After a few persuasion, he will walked to the bike or the car with us willingly every morning.  After school, the first thing he would say is, : Go home.

The kinder teachers are super loving, patience and caring.  They cared for Ethan on 1-1 basis.  Took him out for a breather whenever he is about to burst out crying (esp when other kids in class cry).  By the end of Day 2, all the teachers and admin knows him by, ” See cars/Go outside/Go home.” He loves Fibi and Joyce the most.  Just hang on to them whenever he sees either one of them.

Despite how heartbroken I am to see him cry every morning when I dropped him off at school.  He seems to be adjusting to school very well.  I have to say in a most boastful way  that Ethan has a very nice personality just like his dad.  Despite not liking school, he would force himself to go just because we ask him to.  Fortunately he is well liked at school.  He would not cry after I leave unless being stirred by other kids who started to cry again.
