Ready for school

Ever since the helper was sent home last December, I've been pondering exactly when to send Kayla to school. It would be a very heavy financial commitment with 2 kids in MMI, coming up to more than $1500 monthly, including the bus fares. Hence, after some discussion with the husband and my mum, we decided that Kayla should continue to stay home and go to school only in October or November.

However, Kayla has recently taken a strong interest in Karyn's school bag and always wants to play with it. So we also like to ask her, "Do you want to go to school?" And of course, her reply will always be a resounding "YES!"

Then the grandma will psycho her and say that when she's in school, she's gotta sit on the school bus with Jie Jie, Ma Ma will not be with her. And she's got to feed herself breakfast, lunch and tea break. And she cannot cry when she's in school. She has to go to sleep on her own during nap time, Ma Ma won't be there to pat her, etc etc. And she seems to just nod her head to everything. Hmmm... wonder how she will adapt to school when the time comes.
