After we terminated our helper, we decided to send Iqie and Afeeq to a nursery. There are a few in our neighbourhood, but not all are suitable for us. We would prefer to send both of them to an Islamic taska with an English medium (I would prefer to be with them all the time, but of course that's not an option at this moment). But that can only be found in areas like Kajang and Cheras. Other nurseries in our neighbourhood either don't take toddlers like Afeeq, or too expensive and don't match our "odd" working hours.
So, we decided to try one taska which is very near to our place - about 1 minute drive from our condo to be exact ;) The day before, we had sort of prepared Iqie for this transition. We kept telling him that he would go to "school" soon. So he kept on repeating "Iqie go skool" all day long. So, when the morning came, it was quite easy to coax him to go with us to his "school". Well... he can't actually hear the words "go out" anyway... hehehhe.
When we arrived at the "school", the principal was there waiting for us. While I was filling up the forms, Hubby was observing Iqie. Afeeq was easy... he blended in immediately, crawling to the boxes of toys and minded his own business ;) Iqie, on the contrary, needed some time. So, they let him walk around the place and play for a while. Then, when we say "Mummy go to work and Daddy go to work. Iqie stay at school", Iqie started to look worried... "No Daddy... Daddy no work...!!! Iqie go work with Daddy..." I was almost in tears, but the principal took Iqie away and distracted him with the playground. But he was already in tears and screaming for us. We had to quickly drive away.
At the end of the day, when we collected them back, Iqie was engrossed playing. The supervisor said that he had a good time playing and making new friends. He looked happy too. Now, I can't predict what the second day at "school" would be like. Hopefully, Iqie would adjust quickly and develop good social skills there.
