The beginnings

Preparation
Reconfirming every three hours for the last two days if i'd be actually going into the classroom with him- and looking mighty pleased when i answer in affirmative.

First impressions
Class room right next to indoor play room. V is excited to discover it contains a toy washing machine, and repeats that fact to all who asked him about school. Child knows how integral that machine is to our existence.

On finding a TV and computer in the class- we will watch cartoons and play car race in school??

Starting early
The class teachers introduce themselves to the kids and parents, one by one. One introduces herself and is detailing what she does.
V points to the other teacher and asks- what is her name? I tell him that she has not introduced herself yet, and ask what the hurry is? He smiles conspiringly and says-" she's prettier"!!!!

Getting the details right
I am trying to get V to memorize his class division and bus number and such sundry.
Me: "Kanna m your class is Jr. KG -F division. You have to sit in that class. The bus that takes you home is 3A. So that is the sticker you have to look for"
V: " Amma , you are confused. You are saying KG, then F and then A. Tell me the final alphabet please"

Child's mother is amazed to attend a pre primary first day at school where not even one child looked sulky, leave alone cry!!!

He starts proper school tomorrow- and becomes one in a crowd of uniforms.

Nitya: I didn't, i chuckled.Now he'll permanently be remember as the one with a juvenile mother? i wonder?

MinM:I don't know..it seemed a natural progression. My only worry is about his skewed lunch timings from now on. See how concerned i am about his education.
