Another Academic Year

Samuel’s kindergarten ended their 2011 academic year in November with the year-end Parents-Teachers Dialogue.
We are not sure if this applies to his particular class teacher only or the same with all the teachers but we don’t find our brief meeting with her so much of a dialogue. The same actually happened for our mid-year meet too.
His teacher has very little to say; she just shove us Samuel’s progress card and test scrolls for signatory, hand-over Samuel’s reward for the semester to him and that’s it. She does not pro-actively offer feedback or updates on Samuel’s progress in the school. Not unless and until we ask her.
Anyway, all is well with Samuel at school saved for some minor incidents where he is 'bullied' by his friends.
His teacher remarked that Samuel is a bit too gentle and often does not fight back. The teacher will only interfere if there’s a reported scuffle, else the teacher will let the kids work ‘em out ‘emselves.

The school breaks the academic year with a 2 weeks holiday. Samuel spent most of it confined at home due to Mommy’s mobility. He’s not complaining though. Samuel spent his time helping Mommy out and takes care of his baby sister besides playing on his own.
Whenever there’s company, he’d make the most out of it though.
He wouldn’t let Big Jiu Jiu out of his sight when Big Jiu Jiu was in town for the Penang Bridge Run and stuck tight to him like glue
He’s just couldn’t have enough of his Big Jiu Jiu
And of course the feeling is mutual.

Big Jiu Jiu pampers the Boy to the core too : )

School has just re-opened this week and things are falling back into routine again…
Not for long though!
