After hearing from dear pal Jo that Berries is taking in students born in 2008, I called up and emailed various branches, Orchard, West Coast, Pandan Valley and Bukit Batok to check the slots available.
My preferred slots on weekends were packed and I could only put Little M on the waiting list. Finally found a Tuesday evening 7.30pm slot at Bukit Batok and I could bring Little M to his class except once every 2 months when I have my NC meeting.
Prior to going to school, I bought him a toy car as a present for 1st day of school and gave him a brave boy sweet. I told him that he would be brave after eating that sweet. When we reached the school, he walked away, pulled my hand towards the other direction and kept saying that he wanted to go home. I carried him into the classroom and he settled down soon after. Even when I left the room without saying goodbye, he was ok.
His class came out of the room twice. Once to go toilet break and the second time to go to the other room to watch a cartoon. They put their hands on one another's shoulder and walked in a single file. He was smiling when he walked past me.
Another milestone. My little M at school. Achieved without any tears.
