Ethan is in Junior Kindergarten

Should my question be, "When???" or maybe "How?" When did he become a Kindergarten? Ok, I know, "just today". But how? Of course, I know the answer again, "he's already 4 1/2 and he finished Nursery last schoolyear!" Oh well, maybe I just have to accept the fact that my baby has really grown ...

... so today Ethan is officially in Junior Kindergarten! He's under Teacher Yohan's class and still at Section D. Ethan's classroom is right across his Nursery classroom. He was still pointing to his old room when we entered the school (although he knows that he has a new one). Luckily, most of Ethan's friends are still his classmates like Chinny, Andrei and Nicole. But there was one missing, Sancho, his best bud in Nursery class who is now in JK-C : ( Ethan was looking for Sancho this afternoon. I explained to him that they are no longer classmates but we can set up a playdate for them so they can still be together once in awhile.


Anyway, since last night Ethan has been telling me how excited he was to go back to school. He has been telling me how he misses his classmates and friends. I, on the otherhand, feel quite the same. I also missed my co-mommies at Rosemont hehehe!



How was Ethan inside the classroom? I had the privilege to take a few peeks while classes are going on. I saw that he would sit on his designated line and was listening to his teacher. He was playing with a new classmate. He packed away when the teacher said playtime was over. He sat on his chair, did his art work and finished it without standing and roaming the classroom : ) Sometimes, he sees me looking at him and I'll give him a thumbs up sign! I'm really hoping this behavior is for good and not only for today!


One thing I was quite disappointed for today was the fact that Ethan's uniforms are too small for him, especially his shorts. He has been complaining about it when were dressing up this morning, masikip na daw. I was hoping to buy a new set of uniform for him. He used to wear a small sized polo shirt and shorts when he was in Nursery level. I'm just disappointed that boy uniforms were unavailable even before the opening of classes. We were told that they ran out of stocks and they still don't know when the new ones are coming in : ( Perhaps, I'd be taking photos again when I have a new set of uniform para maganda sa scrapbooks ko LOL! Anyway, before we left for school, I was quite happy that we got medium sized shorts. I'll be eagerly waiting for a medium or large sized polo shirt and hoping it'll be soon.

One thing I noticed this morning was that Ethan was not as cooperative when it comes to picture taking. I wasn't able to get as much photos as I want. Add to that the fact that it was raining this morning till afternoon. I couldn't get a good shot. Plus another fact that Jeff, our official and better photographer was looking for a parking space near the school which leaves me no choice but to take photos of Ethan. My photography skills are a no match for his!


Tomorrow is another day for all of us here. We are adjusting again. I just hope that there will be lesser tantrums in the morning and there will be a little need to push Ethan to wake up, take a bath and eat : D
