Niki's New school year

I was driving home yesterday when it hit me! I forgot to blog about Niki’s first day in Nursery..oh my gosh!! Ooppsie? *sheepish smile*

My Niki all grown up is now officially a Nursery level student at her kindy. She’s got a green pinafore and oh my she looks so grown up in it..Her teachers are Teacher Laura (who’s pretty hip with a nose stud) and no nonsense Teacher Alice who was with Niki since her Pre-nursery days.

Niki started her school last Thursday 3rd January after a weeklong break where she was back to Alor Star and even managed a short trip to our PD apartment! All pooped out from holidaying I guess going back to school was a welcomed change as she excitedly said hi to some of her old friends and some new ones as well.

This morning when I dropped her off I sent her to her class, I love to see her when she’s in class or have you guessed that already? Yup like most parents (who are a wee bit too over-protective, with a small doze of neurotic-ness) I can get a bit too excited with the whole school going thing .. ;-) I watched her for about a minute of two only fearing that her school principal might shoo me off for fawning over her too much! Her friends and her were sitting around Teacher Laura as she launched into their lessons..

And also this morning, Niki drank her milk from her cuppa, and finished it too! Wow!! I told her that every morning her milk will be brought to her in a cup starting from today..and consoled her to the fact that her night feeds will come in her favourite pink bottle .. she’s ok with this new arrangement, and happily gulped down her milk with a bit of encouragement mid way through from her daddy. Niki being Niki ..a big satisfied burp followed ..
