The munchkins are now 2 weeks into P1. They look incredibly sweet in their
oversized uniform, and downright adorable lugging their pink Barbie haversack to
school everyday. Thankfully, the munchkins had each other in the same class, together with another of their girlfriend (Sarah) from child care seated next to them. With
great company, these little ones transit into the new environment effortlessly. Praise
The Lord!
The most impressive act the munchkins did was buying their own
food in the canteen on day 1 of school, with nil parental guidance. All I could
say was "I'm so proud of you!" when I saw them after school. It was a pleasant
experience, at least for me, to watch them decide on what to eat, walk to the
stall-of-choice in the canteen, take out their little coin pouch, pay for the food and
bring the dish back to their own seats. Its amazing how much we, as parents,
over-protect and under-estimate our children! Though the girls requested to
bring their own snacks in future after day 1 (due to the crowd and the fact that Sarah, who has some form of food-related allergy, brings her own snacks daily) , this encounter alone reminded me
how much I should let go and let God. For that, I thank my Lord once again, and
look forward to more surprises from the munchkins in the days to come.
