3 great months of staying at home / Gonna miss miss....
And the kids had the happiest moments in life
Whether we like it or not, school was tough. Teachers were under pressure and the pressure rubbed on to the children. But we also know both teachers and children were trying their best. And my eldest son who is 9 years old was dreaming that school will not start till next year, which most of us think so.
However, there is new announcement.
Government just announced that Standard 1 to Standard 4 will start school on 22nd July. Suddenly, without expecting it, my heart broke and I started to tear. The children were napping when the news were announced. And I was tearing, trying to realign with the news.
I am going to miss my eldest son.
I know, it is only sending him to school at 7am and back at 1pm, but still, throughout these 3 monhts, we had spent alot, alot of previous time together. And I had never seen my eldest being in such a good mood, never broke down, and no meltdown. Simply because of the home environment, no pressure and happy joyful.
He enjoyed homeschooling. He enjoyed online learning. He enjoyed self-learning and self-play, and the brothers really spent so much time playing together.
I know I will be okay
But just want to share how I feel. Just going to miss him not going to school, not rushing him, following his pace, no pressure rushing here and there, etc. And miss all the silly happy moments at home.
Maybe I am the emotional type, or maybe I just miss having my children around haha. Jayden, my eldest, also had been a great help at home, helping to look after the brother when I cooked. He is such a gem.
Back to school
Is good for him too, I guess. For his social being. He does miss his friends, although he still said prefer to learn at home then school. He dislikes the canning and scolding by teachers. Sigh... Anyway, hope the school is going to manage well on students controlling, and distancing. And the children happily back to school.
Going to miss the 'lockdown' days with the kids.
The youngest will always be with me as he is homeschooled, but with the eldest at school for about 7 hours, things are going to be different at home.
Next up
Is... We need to check whether the uniforms and shoes still fit him because he grew alot bigger and taller in these 3 months. Happy soul is happy growth. Haha.

hah .. i know what u meant. from just missing their presence at home going back to their daily routine and also checking out if they can actually still fit into their uniforms. a lot of parents out there are feeling almost the same. my youngest actually put on like 2 kgs !! he aint gonna fit in those uniforms that well ... lol. Oh well ... its about time they get back to their "normal" routine and we gotta adjust back to ours as well .... in the meantime, it is another 2 whole weeks !
Your boys have grown so much! This is such a strange time. I completely understand the emotional rollercoaster.
Stay well - all of you - and stay happy.
