Here we are, on the brink of the final month in the year. Keegan will be going to pre-nursery next year! (Pardon me if you find me repeating again and again… it’s a sign of aging…)
I’m anticipating the BIG day with mixed feelings.
I felt happy that my boy is finally entering another new stage of his life, that he will soon develop special friendships with his peers.

I felt happy that my boy is finally entering another new stage of his life, that he will soon develop special friendships with his peers.
At the same time, I dread to think that very soon, he will be on the road to independency!
I want his school life to be fun and fulfulling, yet I know that he is bound to face some setbacks along the way!
Though he has always been the apple of our eyes, I can't deny the fact that he might not be the class favourite or the teacher’s pet!
How will I be able to let him go, and entrust his care to his teachers for three hours a day, five days a week? Will they be able to tolerate his nonsense as I do?
How will the teachers deal with his anger, his stubbornness and his disobedience?
Though he can be cheeky and would create havoc when he is in his naughty moods, he is in fact timid by nature. Will he get bullied by his classmates?
He takes a longer time to warm up to others and I know he gets panicky when being left with a room full of strangers! How will the teachers help him fit nicely into his class?
I know I have to learn to let go, I know I have to help him to be an independent big boy, I know I have to trust the professionalism of the teachers; and I know he can sense my anxiety if i continue to worry so much. But ... I can't help it!!
