The backpack was a gift for her birthday this year from Sue and I actually got the water bottle almost two years ago in Singapore. I thought it was pretty cute and there was no need to stick her name anywhere on the bottle since it already has her name on it :) Recently I saw that they were also selling it in Borders bookshop at Queensbay Mall, and it can be custom made in the event that they did not have your name.
The next morning, I was awake at 6 am (I think I was more excited than Hannah) and I made her favourite cheese toast for her breakfast. Both Hubby and me had the day off, so after dropping Heidi at my in-law's place, we headed to school. Hannah adapted very well as soon as she entered the classroom and we did not see any signs of teary eyes, so after a while, we told her we were leaving but would be back to pick her up when school ended. She waved goodbye to us and continued with whatever she was doing.
After running some errands, we were back to pick her and she seemed quite happy. She did not tell us much about what happened in school, but after some prompting (I had a lot of questions!), she started telling us about her morning.
Yesterday night, however, I was quite surprised to see her keeping away her own toys after playing. Usually I have to pick up after her, but she kept them away herself yesterday with no fuss. She even asked me politely, "Mummy, can you help me keep the toys?" and thereafter she also asked me to sing the "keeping toys" song. I realised that it was her teacher who had taught them that, so I must say it was quite a successful first day. Hopefully she keeps it up!
Wishing everyone a very happy and blessed 2013 from all 4 of us!
Love You all.....
