First Day of School

It's time to go back to school after the long summer break. I always wondered whether Matthew is aware of what's going on in his life? He has grown so much during the past one year and mature in his speech and behavior.

It's not always easy on the first day of school. He was ready for school thinking to see his friends, having the same teacher, being in the same classroom despite me telling him there will be changes. But unfortunately, the school has more changes than expected this year - he's not going to be in the same class with his best friends, W, and that upsets him a lot. He wasn't willing to stay and wanted to go home. He cried and when I left the classroom, he cried even louder. That made my heart aches.

Nevertheless, I guess Matthew's adaptivity has improved over time. When I get him for lunch, he was happy and the teacher said he was doing okay. I guess he has really grown.

Oh by the way, he has crossed another milestone. He had learned how to ride a bicycle on 2 wheels without the trainers... that's a big step for him! We're going sign him up for Taekwando and swimming classes this year... hopefully everything will turn out well!
