It’s the beginning of the new year. Our ritual has been a first day photo but this year is definitely much different from the rest! Well for one thing, 2 girls are no longer in school. And with covid, start of school is staggered to different days for different levels.
This year, Hanz would start his journey in Hanis. I should indeed be careful with what I wished for. Off he went straight into the classroom without a backward glance! And not gonna lie, there was a pang in me that wished that he did look back to look for me to show that I am still needed. But nope, this boy has decided he was big enough for school and not in need of his mum anymore. Even the other mums were commenting how he was totally tearless and fearless. Well that half hour when I got to sit in his class helped (I meant me, not him!) as he would run every 5 min to give me a hug before running back to join his class. It was like he was assuring me, its ok Mama, I still need you!
It was short lived anyway. Third day comes along with the tears and wailing. This boy delayed reaction or wat? With the tudung tugging and hand pulling, insisting that I be in class with him. He had fever after coming back from school, which could possible contributed to him being cranky. 4th day of school was the same with the school having to call us to fetch him as he started coughing. Come home and all the symptoms were gone with him being super happy to be back home. Ok 2 days medical leave for this boy anyway since he kept coughing through the night.
Not exactly the best of beginnings of a new year, with 3 kids and one mama down with a bad throat.
