Christian had his Lunar New Year celebration in school earlier this week. Besides having to come in festive wear, we were also told to pack him two mandarins and a box of goodies to share with his friends.
What we didn't know was that they were going to perform.
When we dropped him off, the teacher told us we could stay a while to watch the celebrations. And so we did.
It took us a while to realise that he was going to perform, as the older classes all went first. Then, we saw the teachers putting these shimmy wrist things on them.
And there you go: His very first school performance!
*He's the third kid from the right.
It was hilarious cos firstly, he kept wanting to return the loose shimmy stuff that had fallen off to the teacher; second, he had been practicing this song the entire week - singing it complete with actions - and we had no idea it was for a performance!
In any case, we were extremely proud of him for being so enthusiastic and being one of the few who actually participated!

Two weeks in...
And still loving it, thank goodness!
Christian took to school pretty easily, but I was a little afraid the novelty would wear off after a while. The good thing is, he's still enjoying it.
He likes the teachers, the principal (we once caught him having a deep one-on-one conversation with her - what's that all about?!) and of course, learning loads of stuff. It's incredible how he comes back humming new tunes, saying new rhymes, all of which leave me and Ewan exchanging incredulous looks, like, where was that from?!
Who could forget his second day of school, where it took nearly all of me to just stand watch from the windows (parents were still allowed in, but I wanted to leave him to his own devices and see how he handled it all). He, well, pretty much stole the show during story time.
He seems to have toned down somewhat though - think he's learning how he's supposed to behave in a social setting - he even sat down throughout during a storytelling session at the library last weekend.
Hope he continues to enjoy school!
