* Lunch With Your Toddler *

It Parents Day today, I did not know until I saw the invites given by Kyrell's school. They are extending invites to the parents to come dine with the kids during their lunch hour! What splendid idea :) Their lunch hour is from 1130-1230pm. When I arrived at 1135pm, Kyrell was already having his lunch and quite alot of the parents came too.. I would say about 70%??

I managed to chat with Micah's and Reyanna's mummy, both nice lady. Micah's mum enquired about the iron-on label which I have used on Kyrell's uniform. She wanted to get too because, Micah's school shorts was thought to be misplaced weeks back, they got Kyrell's short instead but realised its not Micah's when his mummy saw the label. She thought it was cool... we knew from the teachers that the kids do take out their clothes to 'show off' while waiting to be showered haha... sometimes, they will take each other's towel, and we will know during washing.

It has happened a few times for me already~!

I enjoyed myself alot because I get to see Kyrell during his meal time, obviousely he's happy too, and I learnt something about him while talking to the teachers, here's what :

1) He plays mostly with boys (Micah and Andrew), not really with girls

2) He is like a "little teacher" in class, he will be the first to inform teacher of anyone who

misbehaves haha..

3) He is beginning to speak more manadarin words.. sometimes with mixture of english words

4) He eats alot though picky on certain food

5) Getting more vocal now.. principal told me that the centre if full of his voice *gulps*

6) Getting more 'active' now and I do not mean it in a good way, he climbs around now and his actions are usually very fast, so much so that the teachers cannot stop him before he did it!

7) Likes to put things into his mouth :(

8) He is not that afraid of Dzul anymore, able to sit beside him and play

(for those who are not aware : Kyrell has told me on numerous occassions in Feb that Dzul has hit him, sometimes he will point to me on his arm or head. Intially, I did not do anything about it then after a few times of "complaining", I realised that he has gotten afraid of going to school. Once, when we just reached and were standing at the school gate, he looked frightened and looked around, then said "any Dzulfiqar around?" OMG I think this is quite bad already and when I fetch him in the evening, I noticed that he seem to be avoiding Dzul whenever he is around. So I asked the teacher if they knew anything about these incidents. They said no, they did not see Dzul hit Kyrell and if they did not see it and it actually happened, Kyrell would have cried/whined and they will know eventually. Because Kyrell does cry at slightest pain. True.

But being Kyrell's mum, naturally I would chose to believe him (not that I doubted the teachers!) and protect him. I think it may have happened, at least once, somehow no one saw it, and not being able to differentiate the concept of time, Kyrell would have kept replaying that one time as multiple times. I hope it did not happened of course but I would give him benefits of doubt. What would it make me if I do not believe my 2 yo toddler and not protect him when he voiced out being bullied right? I hope by talking to the teachers, I could put a stop to this too, what happens if it got too serious one day? Then I would never forgive myself!! You know, even while I was in the class talking to the teachers (that was in Feb), Dzul has walked up to me and pinched me on my arm, it got bruised instantly!!! Just like that. And, that was not the 1st time to begin with ....)

Kyrell having his lunch - rice

Having 3rd or 4th round of agar agar *faint*









Andrew saw Kyrell eating the agar agar and came over, Kyrell then shared it with him :D

Teacher Sara told me that Kyrell is no longer afraid of Dzul and is even willing to sit beside him to play .. that's a good sign!
