Liem starts school!




Liem has started school and it all went well. He was so excited he woke up at 5.30 am. Then proceeded to eat 3 slices of bread with peanut butter. After brushing his teeth, I said to him that he needed to get dressed. He pointed to himself saying, "I AM dressed". "But not in your school uniform" I say, and he rushes off to get dressed in his school uniform. Daddy sees him in the uniform and says, "Liem, you look like a little school boy!" Well, he IS a little school boy. Thanks to Virginia for the family photo, also many thanks to Rina for helping Liem settle into before and after school care.

We were warned to "label everything including shoes" and I thought I had done a pretty good job labelling everything including all Liem's colour pencils. Then he comes home one day and tells me that someone's Thomas underpants fell out of his bag and because it wasn't labelled, the teacher didn't know whose they were. I had to get the pen out and straightaway label all Liem's underpants. Who would have thought that UNDERPANTS needed labelling???

The red and yellow outfit is the "sports uniform" to be worn on Fridays. Although Liem did point out that they didn't actually do any sport on that day...
