marcus and mabel should be settling in school fast. need to buy assessment books this weekend to get them started on the mood, they had started on some, but those are the old assessment books that i dig out from the store room which i found not very suitable.

find that i'm not diligent enough to check on them every day. hope i can form a good habit of checking on their school work every day.

max is settling in at school quite unexpectedly. This first week is a crucial week. He enjoys school, coping well. I think kinderland is a good choice because the environment is conducive. I must also form a good habit to get max to tell me his school activities every day.

This morning, as i was fetching marcus and mabel to school, max called me on the phone and he cried. he wanted me to go back home. it was painful to hear him cry on the phone and you are not there to sayang him. after marcus and mabel alighted, i rushed home, gave him a hug and a kiss before rushing off to work again.

Do i need to explain my actions? well, this is my explanation, take it or leave it. i did contemplate while driving, should i rush back or not? am i spoiling him? i did so based on the fact that this is his first week of school and this is only his third day of school. The starting point is very crucial. That's why i decided to rush home and give him the assurance.
