TODAY, 4 Jan 2010, is Evangeline's 1st day of school. She is very excited about school. She woke up at 7.00am without us waking her up. We are all pretty surprised as she slept very late last night (abt 12am). There are total 8 students in her "Lovely Lamb Toddlers" class. Most of them are girls and only 2 boys. Marie Faith Ee (Michelle's daughter) is in the same class as Evangeline. They are now classmates but she is only on half-day.

Evangeline is a brave young girl. She didn't cry today but got frightened by other kids who cried. Today is only an orientation day for her and she loves exploring her class which has many toys for her to play.

During lunch time, they had "Mee Hoon Soup". Evangeline self-fed herself, although a little messy. But it's fine! She learnt how to be independent and master her motor skills of holding the spoon and feed herself with meehoon and soup. She especially loves vegetables so I informed Teacher Naz (her English teacher) to give her additional serving. She had a slice of red apple too.

After lunch, she took her strawberry shortcake bag and followed Teacher Naz into the toilet. As we did not bring her towel, she did not bath and Teacher Naz changed her.

She was tired by 1230pm and knocked out whilst we had lunch at T1 food canteen.
