Little boy in uniform

It has been 1 and a half months since Gerald started in his new school. He is adapting well and can tell me the names of his new friends. The new school has a indoor gym and he looks forward to the twice weekly sessions. Most days, he will say YES when we ask him if he wants to go to school. But he has to wake up really early now to catch the school bus and he will always whine in the morning and complain for headaches and tummyaches. But once he has woken up fully and gotten up the bus, he really seems to enjoy school.

At the void deck waiting for the school bus. See... everything is still dark.

I will usually take him downstairs and see him up the bus before going to work. This pic is taken by Gerald. =)

First day in new school

This year we have switched Gerald to a new school and he has to take the school bus all by himself. At first we were worried that he will cry when he gets on the bus. I prepped him days in advance and told him that he has to take the bus by himself. Surprisingly, he happily went up the bus and didn't even whine. He also had no problems adapting to the new teachers and friends. My boy is all grown up.

Gerald has to wake up at 6.30am in the morning in order to catch the bus. Poor thing... he looked so blur in the morning... got bed hair some more.

Gerald happily got off the bus and went into the school with the rest of the kids. Didn't even look at me much.

Assembly time. Let's play "Where's Gerald?". Look carefully, he is in the picture.

Gerald going to class with his new teacher. Didn't even look for us on the first day of school. Don't know if I should be glad or sad.
