Little Raymund is turning 3 next month. Being a year end child, I'm kinda worried when he starts school next year. He will be only just 3 years old and still very much a toddler. A very active one too. Will he be able to cope? I know this worrying is needless as children will sooner or later adept to schools and lessons. I'm just thinking that my little Raymund is too active and used to having his way - what will happen in school. He is very close to his 'kakak' - everywhere he goes, his kakak will 'take care' of him.
So to give Raymund a feel of what it is to be in a class, I've let him joined his brother in GlobalArt. He has always said he wants to go to school...but didn't know what it is like. His kor kor goes and so he wants to follow. Expected! He was very excited when he was getting ready for his art class. His first lesson! But once there, he got nervous and refused to enter the classroom. He was afraid to talk to the teacher. My maid (his kakak) and I had to sit together with him and then only he would sit down. At 3 years, the lesson is just a fun lesson. He chose water colour. So the teacher let him play with water colours to do some Halloween 'artwork'. After a while, he warmed up to the teacher and soon, after every stroke of the brush, he was running to the teacher to show her his 'work'. My maid and I were slowly doing the disappearing act - just going out of the classroom only - can't go far... in case..sigh! This is what the chinese says 'pui tai jee tuk shue' (cantonese) , translate means 'accompanying the prince in studies'. Anyway, he was already warmed up and didn't seem to be upset that we were not with him. After the painting, he did some cuttings and was having fun with it. Well, he didn't get to do too much dirty and messy fun at home, so this seems great.
At the end of the lessons, he said he wanted to come to art class again. Looking good! I'm hoping that these classes will also teach him some discipline and orderliness too :) Fingers crossed!
