Well, so what about the Little One? We told ourselves that his choice mattered a lot too and so during the school hunting exercise, we paid close attention to what he would do or his behaviours when we were in the school. For some of them, he refused to let go of us,and for some, didn't seem quite interested. Elfa, however... perhaps thanks to Joyce's kids who also go to school there, when they saw him visit.. they took his hand and told him "come follow me" and off he went.. without even a glance back at dear old mummy!. This was also the school that Sari liked a lot :) and yes her choice matters too.
I had booked a slot for him to start at next year's playgroup class but after discussing with the Principal, we are going to start him on a half day programme from late December. So, we trooped down, the Big One , myself and the Little One to the school one Saturday to submit all the formal registration forms and the payment.
Here were some pictures that the Big One took of him whilst mummy was in the office. I was very happy when we bumped into his form teacher on the way to school and when teacher Yati said "justin , hold my hand".. he took her hand and walked in :) wow..of cos we were not far behind .. but was saying to myself.. Hope that he would be just as brave on his first day in school.
The Little One was busy exploring the K1 class room cos his own classroom was being cleaned.
Seemed to be quite at home, helping himself to all the books and toys... It certainly helps that this school has a playyard full of his favourite thing - CARS!! Lots and Lots of Little Tike Cars. 
Note to Little One - Hope that u will enjoy school with ur friends in Elfa :) and be happy and smiling always!
