We decided to let her enter first pre-school instead of sending her instantly to K1 

by the time she turns five so she could socialize with her peers. 

We wanted to give her time to dry her little wings. 

No hurry!...we told her!

When we signed her up in May, we hadn't realized June would come so soon.

1 month equals one second. It feels like that.

I have to wake up more early, prepare her snack and uniform 

and head home more early too after work to help her in her homework.

Even though I have one more little boy with me. 

I still see her as this wobbly one-year old just learning to walk. 

This little girl with big round eyes. 

The daughter my super one… Our Big baby …

In her first day of school,
her two teachers told me I could stay with her all day

so that's what I planned to do. To chaperone her first day. 

To be there if she needed me.

As she wandered toward the room… 

She looked at me ... She smiled...

and she amusedly joined with the other kids… 

...

Bu I chose to  leave  because she didn't need me to be there. 

I left because she was all right without me and in the end, 

that's what I wanted. 

For her to sit confidently and smile boldly towards her new found friends…

 Who will move forward through their lives, open and eager to learn! 

On the other note, 
Ora catches quickly on various things, be it in reading, oral recitations, singing and dancing etc… 

but she genuinely (I presume) has no interests in writing. 

So yesterday, 
when all of her 9 classmates tirelessly wrote big  and small half loops 
I was told that she slept the entire period of their writing activity 

but when one of her classmates tap her to move 

for he needs to make use of the table for writing, she cried. 

Oh yeah! She has this crazy habit of sitting on the table at school 

rather than on her chair 

and the other day it aggravated for she slept on top of it. 

But I’m not cynical about her not giving hints of interest in writing. 

I know she will one day. 

Oh hey! She’s only four, she may not be good in writing but she’s crushingly fine in reading Dolch words and great job for you Ora!

Good luck Ora.. We have always been proud of you!
