Good start of the week

After the weekend, despite all the fun we had as it's the New Year, there is no crying and I even received goodbye kisses from Alaric at the gate while we bided goodbye. Only negative part is that we reached school late again. We reported to school at 930am.
I have no plans for myself today. Simply have a slow morning, having breakfast at the usual coffeeshop and blog and update my 2011 organizer. Hope to pick him up only at 1145am today. Peeked at him at 1040am and it was Chinese story telling time. He was sitting down, listening and paying attention.
Then I had a discussion with principal on Alaric's readiness to start full day program. She felt that he is ready as he is no longer crying and somehow enjoying his school times. It is dependent on when I wish to start work. I also shared with her my concern on the working mummy subsidy as I need to plan and find a job as soon as he starts full day to get the subsidy of SGD300 instead of only SGD150. She advised me to provide her the documentation before 10th of each month so she can claim for it for me. Thus I need to plan when he starts full day, estimate how long he will take to adjust, extra time for him to build immunity and find a job soon to be entitled for the subsidy by the 10th of the month. Not forgetting the festive CNY in the month of February.
I was thinking of starting him mid of this month-17 Jan, so I will take 1 month or 1 and a half month to adjust him and find a job. That means I have to start work or at least find a job by March so I only pay 1 or 1 and a half month of fees without working mummy subsidy. To be discussed with hubby and see how.
Picked him up at 1145am. He wants me to carry in while he is in the midst of cleaning up and changing. No crying though. But lunch very little today.

Home sweet home and relax one corner!
