Xuanie is enrolled in a private nursery school about 8 min drive from where we live. Twice a week, 2.5 hours each.
He simply loves it. They have a big indoor play-area with a lot of trucks and bikes that the kids can ride and peddle. That’s Xuanie’s favorite station for the morning’s free-play session. Every morning, he wakes up and asks if we’re going to school that day.
The teachers told me he does not cry, unlike many other kids, most of whom are older than him (since he is not 3 yet, and does not quite meet the age requirement of most nursery schools). I guess the daycare episode has trained him well. He knows Mama will come back for him.
I was told he’s very quiet and would simply observe, never actively participating. Knowing him, when he’s quiet and observing, I know he’s enjoying himself, and taking in things and processing them. Of course, he tells me a thing or two when he comes home, e.g. asking me to sing the songs he learnt at school. I gotta go ask the teachers what songs they sing, since X.’s singing is not quite intelligible to me yet, neither the lyrics nor the melodies.
