Kindergarten

Yesterday was the kindy’s report card day. As usual, I went to collect the cards. I usually won’t have a long chat with the teachers because I have no expectation over the kids especially on academic. The teachers will briefly tell me their progress and as long as they are happy and not being bullied or they don’t bully, we are all fine. Xuan only went to kindy when he was 5, so hubby and I feel that Cheng should enjoy the early childhood just like Xuan. The only thing that makes it different is, we have no choice to send him to daycare when he was too young. Everything went well until last night that hubby found out Xuan hasn’t really mastered the basic mathematics yet. So he sat down and explained the theory to him while Cheng was playing alone. Out of a sudden, Cheng got bored and asked the father, is he (pointing at the big bro) your only son? Am I not your son? Why don’t you talk or play with me? Hubby got a shock but remained his cool. He looked at me, faked a smile, and went to hug the boy and apologised. While we felt guilty that we neglected him throughout, we were happy and proud that he is very expressive. He could be very crude but we love to see where he speaks out his mind.
