His first day in childcare

Reyes started his 1st day in playgroup - yeah!

Finally registered him to playgroup in the new childcare centre just besides our house - The Kids@Yishun Pte Ltd. It had been through many discussions that we finally came to a conclusion to enrol him for a trial month. Our core objective is to expose him to some learning and most importantly to social interraction! And of course to be able to bring him home every night.

The first 3 days will be his orientation from 9am to 12noon with breakfast and lunch included. Sigh I will only be able to accompany him for the 1st day, then pass on the baton to my mom.

The first day was great! I truly felt his growing up and I must say it's what all mommies will feel accomplished! Initially he was such an introvert especially during breakfast - not wanting to greet anyone nor eat his bread and milk, but gradually adapt to the environment. Good job, Reyes!

ANYWAY that was only a total of 5 kids today! Hahaha! What do you expect right? It's a NEW childcare centre, which used to be the old Yishun library (now located at Northpoint). I must say I am very proud of my little boy, though naughty but he is the only one who is toilet trained and able to feed himself properly in the group. Teachers all had positive feedback about him (but too soon to say otherwise - wait till his "pattern" is out).

When it was lunch time at 1130am, Reyes is all ready to eat! When one of the teacher brought out the tray of food, he was clapping and went "Wah........!!!" And guess what !?? He is the first one to finish his bowl of rice (with steamed egg and boiled spinach) - all by HIMSELF!!!

Well well, going to try out for at least 2 weeks and see if we will stick to this childcare centre or switch to one near my mom's place - headache!



Kids washing their hands before class. This is the only Indian teacher named Bindu. Well to me, the only teacher that i like?


Waiting patiently for their breakfast.
Kids are really funny, they will not move around unnecessarily when others kids remain seated.


We sneaked out from Reyes's sight so that he can gradually adapt into the group and went exploring the centre. Bo liao right? But you see how cute their toilets are .... everything is so small!! Even their private "cubicles" are labelled so kidishly!


Can't help but take a shot with me standing besides the small washing basin!


Haha, there you go.... my mom! After much coaxing!


Secretly peeping at what my boy is doing.


His top-favourite activity! He was running about from one play station to other!
Good luck teachers!




Yummy! And I tell you... he was really hungry!! He was the first one to tuck into his bowl!!

The following photos are taken at PS after his nap.

Went there with my mom and Reyes, to Spotlight to scout for nice cloth for my cushion covers.

Managed to find something to my liking (with my mom's help) but can only collect it on 10th Sept which is like 2 weeks later.... sucky! But its ok... at least I got another excuse to go down town then. Hahaha
