He started Std1 orientation this morning. Kinda teary eyed because he was very apprehensive.
This boy like familiarity. So new environments make him uncomfortable. He threw up twice this morning before going to school.
He also asked me, "New school don't have toilet time ah?" 
We had earlier told him that big boy school is unlike kindy where they all choo-choo train to the toilet together. Here he will have to take care of himself. 
His daddy stayed with him all morning and from the photos, I guess he was trying really hard to NOT cry. When he came home, he was looking much better. He said he saw a few of his kindy friends in his new school. I know he will be fine once he settles in. For now, I just have to help him overcome his fears.
A few schools had their 2-3 weeks orientation right after the school holidays started. The one that Yiu Yiu is going to is only having a one day orientation this week :-)
