Buddy's 1st Day of Kindergarten

I know I'm not the type of mommy blogger that really actually blogs about my children and what they did today, or any other day. I guess because, as much as I love them, I need my "me" time and I only get that when I blog. :) So don't judge me! :P

But today, my 4 year old son (turning 5 this April) entered kindergarten! He was supposed to enter in January with all the other children his age but we were back in my hometown for a month and after moving more stuff over here, we've finally settled down. So time for Buddy to start kindie. Finally!

He was excited to go but cranky that he had to wake up so early. Kindie starts at 8.30am and he only woke up about 8am. But once he got showered and dressed, he was all smiles!!



He was so excited he didn't even eat his PB&J sandwich.. he just held it. Oh and I totally forgot to bring him for a haircut! He needs one badly!!

My hubby insisted that we send him to school, even if it's less than a 10 minute walk.





Buddy still manages to smile for the cam while trying to block out the early sun rays. :)

Upon reaching the school, he gave his little sister Allie a BIG hug, said a quick bye to me and his father and just left without so much of a backward glance. Hmph!


I followed him in to talk to his teachers, while he was putting away his backpack, took his water tumbler and lunch box and just headed inside. I called him back for one last photo opp and he looked somewhat annoyed+embarassed and just couldn't wait to go in to meet his new friends.



His teacher just laughed and assured me he'll be okay..

So my hubby, Allie and I headed off to breakfast and run some errands.. and close to 10.30am did my hubby and I both realize that we left our cell phones at home! How stupid of us! We were worried that there'll be calls for us that Buddy was crying his eyeballs out.. but upon returning home, there wasn't a single missed call on both our phones! Phew!!

We picked him back up at noon and he was still all smiles... talking about a new friend.. Sasha! Looks like Mommy and Allie aren't his fave gals anymore. LOL!

He's excited to go to school again tomorrow, but poor Allie. She was so sad to see her brother go just now.. :(

Awwwwwww......Buddy looks sooooooooooooo cute.... hehehe

Wow...Buddy is such a good kid...most kids I have experienced in teaching, on their first day, would cry/puke/throw tantrum... hahaha...good job mommy Shemah....

and 'sian Allie.... hopefully she will be better...

Shinade February 11, 2009 4:43 AM  

Oh congratulations Buddy. Oh my you look so grown up and handsome.

I can't wait to hear all about your first day. And maybe even start to see some of your projects.

So did you make any new friends today?

Oh I just bet you did. Give your mommy a big congratulations hug for me!!:-)

Nessa February 11, 2009 8:14 AM  

Kids these days are so cool... he has got a reputation to maintain ba, Sasha's watching! LOL!

Love those adorable pics... Allie's face expression is so deep.

Shemah February 11, 2009 9:27 AM  

@MdmAlia: Hahaha.. Thanks Alia!! :)

I guess it's coz parents either want to/have to send them to school when they're not emotionally ready yet. Some children are sent to pre-school awfully young..

And yeah, Allie was soooooo sad. She was looking out the window to Buddy's school. :(

@Shinade: Hehehe.. Hi Jackie! :) He told me to tell you that he had a great day! They were taught how to communicate by using walkie talkies and he found it soooo fun that he wants me to get them for him.

And so far, his only friend is Sasha. :) He said there was a boy whose name he forgot. Naturally. Just remembered the girls. LOL!

Thanks for the much needed hug!! :D

@Nessa: Hahahahahaha.. itu lah pasal!! Adedeiii...

Ya bahh.. Allie can really come up with the most deep expressions you know. Unlike Buddy who was mainly blur at that age. Allie can be able to convey her feelings without saying a word!

chegu carol February 11, 2009 11:00 AM  

handsomenya si Buddy!
and boy, he must have really like his school (and Sasha). But it's good lah cos you know he's not the anti-social type. First day sdh dapat kawan...hehehe

maslight February 11, 2009 2:22 PM

Marvic February 11, 2009 2:30 PM  

he is so handsome with his smile and looks so eager to see his new school and sasha...pity on allie..mesti sedih xder kawan nak main

Shemah February 11, 2009 4:37 PM  

@chegu carol: yeaahhhh.. I was anticipating that he'll be quite shy and withdrawn. Skali tu, the teacher said he was very excited and everywhere all at once. LOL! I just hope he doesn't think it's a playground center that I sent him to.

@Jean Chia: hahahaa!! Very eager indeed!! I guess that's what happens when he's being cooped up at home with me all this while. But yeah, I was really excited. Still am actually.. LOL!

@Kadus_Mama: Alala.. itu pun after trying to wake him up for 45 minutes. I wake him up since 7.15am ni.. last2 si Allie jugak yang managed to wake him up! LOL!

Hopefully, that's not sounds of a playboy in the making lah.. hahaha..

@Ethel: yaaa.. so sad Allie.. she looked at me and said "Abang?" so kesian me tinguk her. But surprisingly, no. I didn't shed a tear.. hahaha.. I was laughing looking at his gaya.

@Mariuca: Does he, Marzie??? Everyone says he looks like his dad. But I always think he does look like me. It's a constant debate with me and hubby. LOL!

And yeah... I'll pass on the hugs to Allie.. she really needs it! :) :) :)

@Rozella: hahaha.. itu lah bah kan. He thought it was you but actually it was Ida, right??? hahahahhaha.. And for months he was asking me "Why Aunty Rozie take my cookies???" LOL!

@maslight: Really, Massy?? Hahaha.. i remember something similar like that too. I was very skema.. If my mom didn't prepare for me what I needed for the day, sanggup I don't go down to school.

@Marvic: hahahaah.. yalah. Today also came home, he said he sing with Sasha. Kesian Allie.. When Buddy came home she straight away ran to the door and screamed with delight! LOL!

jppmom February 11, 2009 4:40 PM  

waah si buddy so good oh..ndak cry pun pi school..good boy ooh..and so handsome in uniform...but part yg cranky bangun awal tu, i think coz kena kacau tidur kan ;)

Bobby February 11, 2009 5:31 PM  

Hi Shemah! Thanks so much for visiting me, you made my day:)

Buddy sure looks happy to be in school...look at that brilliant smile! And Allie wants to go too. She is so beautiful:)

JPP Papa February 11, 2009 6:58 PM  

Finally I see him in uniform. He's so handsome and that smile.. aduh.. memang ready lama for this moment ni.
And ada GF sudah.. "Sasha" lagi tu nama.. Cool Buddy. :D

Angeline February 11, 2009 7:17 PM

I think I could hear your heart pounding really hard over here... *laugh*

Tammy February 11, 2009 9:15 PM  

That's wonderful he had such a great first day! He's adorable!!!

Ms eNVy February 11, 2009 10:45 PM  

awwww .. he looks adorable! .. first day of kindergarten ? .. been there .. somehow it is so hard to let go once the kids start their first day of kindergarten .. I know it was hard for me .. I'm one of the mom tht constantly looking at the classroom window to make sure they are okay .. heheeh ... now you've got some free time on your hands what are you going to do ? :)

Marvic February 12, 2009 9:50 AM  

Singing lagi tu sama si sasha...."playboy in the making"..i guess not..maybe because he has woman around him so that is why he can be very close with one at school. tapi si allie kesian ba tengok...her abang ada kawan baru...

Marvic February 12, 2009 9:51 AM  

shemah, u pon kena tag..see it at my blog :)

Mama Mia February 12, 2009 4:03 PM

Cookie February 14, 2009 2:03 PM  

He looks very happy and excited to be at school. Just noticed, he got his features from you ;)

Shemah February 15, 2009 7:20 PM  

@jppmom: hahaha.. yeah! Who asked him to go to sleep so late! LOL! But I remember Josh pun good boy bah.. steady saja dia pi school. :)

@Bobby: Don't mention it! :D It was definitely something that you can't find around the blogosphere. That's why I enjoy reading your stories. :)

And thanks for the compliments.. Now YOU have made my day! :D

@JPP Papa: Yayyy!! Finally you've been able to see him in his school uniform! LOL! Ya bah.. after the whole week he was in school, I asked him who his friends were, and it's still Sasha! Seems like he's not making any other friends. LOL!

@Angeline: hahaha.. Yeah!! I was pretty excited for him.. but I thought I would be sad to see him go to school.. but surprisingly, I wasn't. :)

@Tammy: Thanks Tammy.. he certainly enjoyed it! Let's see how the next week goes!

@Ms eNVy: Really? I expected it to be hard on me, but surprisingly it wasn't. I was excited for him but I left as soon as he went in the door. LOL! Guess I was excited about getting to spend more time on my own. What am I gonna do?? Now I can finally do my housechores and some blogging without much interruption. But then again, there's still my little girl!

@Marvic: Yeah.. I guess that's true.. He's used to having women surround him. I guess he just relates better to them. :) And yeah, Allie was so sad ni bila sampai rumah.. so cranky!

Oh and I'll try to do the tag ASAP!

@Mama Mia: He was so excited. Lama oredi he's been waiting for the day to come.

@sweet lavender: Thanks sweetie! :) Yeah, 1st day of school. A milestone for all parents!

@Jean Chia: I love the Valentine tag!! LOL! Thanks for tagging me, Jeanie!! :)

@Mariuca: Hahaha.. Don't worry.. still going pretty strong there.. :) Thanks for all the drops Marzie. :)

And as for my Valentine plan, just spending it with the kids. Hubby is working, working, working. That's the thing with working with an airline company. :(

Thanks for the sweet wish, hun!! :)

@Faisal Admar: Hahaha really?? Aidan has exceptionally beautiful blue eyes, though! LOL! But Buddy's hair used to be curly like Aidan's for sure! :)

@Cookie: Hey Cooks!! It's been a while.. How are you?? Hope you're not too bz..

You really think he looks like me?? hehehe.. I'll tell that to hubby.. He loves to argue with me on that. LOL! Anyways, I'll drop by your place soon k?? Ingat!!

Farah Deen February 19, 2009 11:44 AM  

Shemah,

I know it's a big day for Buddy and all, but looking at him and his very happy face, it makes me all teary. I don't know how Syabil would react on his first day of school, and he will start in September. So, Buddy is a year older than Syabil. WHen in April is his birthday? I know your little girl's birthday is the same as mine, and Daryn's birthday is on the 6th April.

For a kindy boy, he sure has a big bag to carry. he looks so cute in the uniform too. :)

Hugs and Kisses to the little cutie!
