Al's Monday Blues

Had a usual Monday delaying tactics from Al today ..he is always hard to get up on Monday ...always finding excuses not to get up ..and today is worst coz Jane is on morning shift, so it was me who is supposed to get him ready for school ...the routine is that Al gets up and come to my room to wake me up (hahahaha!) and then he has his early morning bath (latest by 7.30 am) whilst daddy will be ironing his school uniform and nenek preparing his breakfast ...see, everybody is involved!!!! except adik, who is still sleeping soundly :-)

today was especially hard to get him out of the bad ...daddy manages to get him up at 7.20 after a few rounds of gentle persuasion (which failed!) and a round of slightly not so gentle persuasion ....Al was not happy hahahaha ....but we still manages to get both Al and Daddy out of the house before 8am ....

anyway, was browsing through my picture folders to get photos for my report when I came across a few of Al's photos ...enjoy!

his fav routine ..watching youtube whilst waiting from breakfast ...he is allowed to lie down if is is a t-shirt day :-)

this is funny ...he wrote his name in two lines coz his handwriting is very bad! he really hates writing ...the teacher said that he will be very slow and moody when he has to do writing exercises, but was quick and cheerful when it comes to singing, play acting and arts day ..

and he got this habit of using only ONE colour at a time ...so everything will be coloured using that chosen colour of the day ....i have been telling him to use as many colours as suitable, and he said No, Mama ..I will do it ....not you ...huhuhu stubborn boy!

and a funny thing was that, we - the whole family- did not know that he has tests last semester ..we just sort of assumed that he is going to school to learn to read, write and make friends and all that ..hehahaha silly us! until one day he brought back his report card!

and we were shocked with the results ...OMG we have so little expectations! we just assumed there is no test coz he never mentions it ....His teacher said he did well in all subjects ....two papers with 96 and 98 marks whilst the other two papers were on the high 80s mark ..speechless for a while, before we burst out laughing ....but the only thing that is lacking is his attendance ....he is often missing classes hehehe ...

some of his works ...told him to use his ruler, but his stubborn attitude persists!

hope he'll excel in school ...mama is proud of you dear boy ....
