Weekend Reflections: Growing Up and Moving On
Doggie boy in his new uniform
This week marks a new milestone in Doggie boy’s academic life. He is formally in elementary school now since the new term has just started. My little boy is now in a “big boy” school and is no longer a pre-schooler . He now has to be more independent and learn to tackle problems on his own. Lesson time is longer and he gets to handle money to purchase his own food during recess.
Doggie boy has been really excited and is looking forward to going to school everyday. It’s great that he is so enthusiastic about school and open to making new friends and embracing all the changes that he is going through. It is still orientation this week and lessons proper will only start the following Monday.
Doggie boy doesn’t know what will be expected of him as yet however I’m sure that he will be able to handle whatever challenges come his way. We will always be there to support him and give him the guidance he needs. All the best in Primary 1 dear.

I remember my eldest son when he was entering his primary level in grade school at a big school. He had to go through a lot of adjustments and had to adapt to the scale that he’s entered. He grew thinner during the whole first year but after going through some bullying of girl classmates (whom I later found out only had a crush on him) and made some friends. Good luck to your little boy!

Time does move fast! I feel the same way for my little boy (he is now seven but I love to call him my little boy). I hug him always and wonder when he will be embarrassed if he hugs me haha

every year’s a new challenge when it comes to a child’s education for a mom like you. kids grow fast and little did we know they can already decide on their own. I just wish your child a happy childhood.

God bless you and your family in your new journey! My little boy is still 9 months young, but I guess it won’t be long until we reach this stage, too. 🙂

I remember when my kids were starting school and how anxious we were for them to enjoy it. Your son looks happy and I wish him the best.
Happy New Year! 🙂

Hi!
I wrote a comment but it looks like it was not published with my name. My kids are older but I remember the anxiety. Your son will do well. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year!

Aww! That’s so sweet! My little girl has been in preschool for something close to forever! She joined a playgroup at age 2 in 2010 and was moved at age 3 (2011) to the school that she’s now attending. She’ll stay there in 2013, the year that she turns 5. Only in 2014 will she go to grade 1. Like I said, it feels like forever!
I think your little guy will do fine. They don’t usually load the little ones with work. I’m against schools and teachers demanding too much from kids. They need to have a balanced life. My 12 year-old still doesn’t know what hard school work is. Maybe she’ll have a shock in 7th grade. Her older sister works long hours for her teachers. But, I think that’s also the personality type. They both had the same grade 6 teacher and the one child went to bed late every night because of school work and the other never seemed to have any school work. Hahaha! (Both of them get good grades, but the child that works harder makes the better grades, of course.)
