Attention Seeking


[ she asked for a ruler and insist we need to sit down and listen to her. She claimed she is a teacher! ]

Since day 1 of sending Ern to play school (back in Nov 2008), she didn't shed any tears for 2 months. We received good compliments from her teachers that she liked school very much.

She still love school now but only when she is at the school. The "I don't want (to) go (to) school!" had started since 2 weeks ago almost every morning. She will start the 'no school' when we put on her school uniform and take her down to the doorstep. The moment we asked her to wear her shoes, she started to cry and insist only MIL to carry her.

Of cause we still send her to school but the moment teacher carry her over and we are out of her sight, she stopped crying. When we peeped her from our house, we can see she is happily playing at the playground with her friends.

According to her teacher, she enjoyed and actively participated in the class activities. We knew that because we can see GREAT improvement in her vocabulary, the songs that she sings and her motor skill in drawing & coloring.

We realized when MIL or me sent her to school, she cried longer. However, when Daddy brought her 2 days ago, she didn't burst into tears. Daddy said she almost wanted to burst into tears but her teacher was fast enough to take over and divert her attention!

Guess what her teacher said was right, Ern is seeking attention from us, knowing her sibling will be out soon.

Welcome to the 2 kids club! You will expect more unexpected crying and whining, but it's ok, let the teacher handle them, coz the more we persuade them the more tears will get burst out, and sometimes we may give in and bring the kid back home, so at the end, we didn't follow the rule of the game.
No worry, little crying is good, let them exercise their lung! LOL
