Sixth Sense

RB seems to sense I am not working full day. He is back to his 'not sleeping' in the afternoon pattern. I didn't tell him anything. I think the fact I didn't lie down next to him when he naps, he might have that instinct. Well, I can't take care of so many thing. If I have to make him sleep, then I might as well work full day and get better pay.

Previously I am very concern about whether the children nap or not as their not sleeping will disturb those already slept. I get worked up. Now I didn't want to do that anymore. The teacher in charge should be the one worrying, not me. I have limited time. That's the best I can do. Otherwise there will be no ending.

He Can't Let go!

Met RB's dad sending him to TB. I was behind RB's dad back. So RB saw me when I walked in. There was a minute of don't know who couldn't let go of who. RB saw me walking in. He quickly let go and say bye bye to his dad. His dad turned back, saw me, smiled and commented that RB couldn't let go to go in! I jokingly commented, it's nt RB but it is YOU that couldn't let go to get out! hahaha.... the dad laughed!

I have confident that he will not get angry, which is why I dare to joke so daringly to him.... He has no reason to get upset with me when both dad n mum commented that RB is a changed boy - a good one! Yes, he is indeed well behaved now. Great satisfaction! Me, I mean.

RB is 5 yrs old now!

RB bday was on 31/3 but he celebrated on 2/4. His mum was extremely happy with his improvement in school. She gladly thanks us. She gave me a hug. Yes, I see tremendous improvement in him. He is no longer rude as claimed by his mum previously. His life is more routine now. He learns social interaction skill, to share and patience beside academic.

Actual fact, he is more well behaved than SST, another 5 yrs old but she is a girl.

RB's mum wanted to take him out after the bday party. He looked at me for answer. I nodded my head for him to leave. It was his special day.

Wow! CXL, Muack! Muack!

I have another smart child, CXL. He has a great sense of humour for his age (5 yrs old). He is rather smart and observant though a little chatty. Once he was so confident that his friend gave a wrong answer. He realised that he himself was wrong after all. He sheepily replied, "I was joking only!".

Another girl was not doing her work properly. She made mistakes most of the times as she was not focusing when I was teaching. This CXL casually said, "Maybe she has no brains!" O! Mine, how can he said like that? I corrected him.

Today, he drew a car (we were talking about transportation). He drew and suddenly he laughed. He said, "There is a stone under it!". He is imagining the car go over the stone and go topsy turvy! Thats why he was laughing!

He is able to tell me - an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I bet it must be taught by his parents. He is a lucky boy who parents are involved in his daily learning.

Cook gave RB his usual small portion. We didnt tell him anything. We do it want to take it as an issue. When it is time to eat, he follows the rest and sit down to eat. Well, he finishes without a complaint!

RB starts his nonsense again! Only his dad would 'fall' into his trap! I ignored RB when its time for breakfast. He expected me to call him. I didnt. During lunch, I told him that he need not eat cos his dad said no need. RB straight away flashed his megawatt smile. He sat at a corner.

For no eating breakfast and lunch, he is definitely very hungry during afternooon snack. I couldnt monitor him as I was teaching the N2. I was told he ate 3 pieces of cake. That's not healthy. Let see how many more days will he be like that!

I didnt 'pat' him to sleep this afternoon as I told him I was really 'disappointed' with his behaviour. He didnt sleep and give excuse of going to the toilet to urinate (he has done that few minutes ago). I followed him to the toilet - nothing came out! He finally fell asleep 15 minutes before it was due time to wake up!

I decided to leave matter to the Chinese teacher as I do not want to be upset about him. What can I do if he has a daddy that really dots on him! RB wants heaven, he gives him heaven!

RB eating normally now. He does have strong pride. He disturbed the girls rudely. After explaining it is not a nice thing to do and request him to apologise, he kept quiet. The simple word 'sorry' seems so difficult to get out from his mouth! Luckily he did say in the end. He is just like his dad.

I was absent for 3 days and he asked, where was I and he missed me! hahahah...... that's nice. I am glad that I have achieved :-
1) Overcome his fear to get his hair washed!
2) Make him say 'sorry' and not repeat the mistake.
3) Writing - great improvement. He is a fast learner.
4) Eat foods cooked by TB
5) Take his afternoon nap! Initially, he simply refused to sleep. If he doesn't sleep, I can't
do my others work. I have to be with him. If I walk away, he will wake up the rest.
Children of his age still need nap to rest.
