My first time… … putting on a diaper for a child.
Haha! * shy *
Recently two new boys registered at our schoolhouse and one of them is only 18-20months old. =)
It can be pretty "challenging" taking care of someone verrry young...
~ got to ensure he is always within our sight and within our reach, as he can be pretty unstable in certain areas
~ got to pat him to sleep and stay around him during nap time.
Up to now, out of the 2hrs nap, he has never cross even 1hr mark, always awake after 30mins and then we got to stay beside him until the time is up
~ got to ensure he take his milk, breakfast, lunch and poo at the right time
~ etc etc etc
But one thing for sure … … … HE IS VERY ADORABLE!!!! =)
He loves to eat… anything & everything. Opps!
One of the days, he woke up SUDDENLY from his nap… crying very badly. Just when we were thinking what happened, he shouted “No more! No more!”.
Hmm… that’s actually one of his favourite lines during snack time when he finishes his food. Hmm… I supposed he had a “delicious dream”. Haha!
Earlier one my colleagues were sharing with me one conversation among a group of ladies that she overheard.
One Lady: You know, primary school teachers like us are very fortunate. We are recognized by the MOE unlike the preschool teachers. They got to clean up the children, prepare lunch for the children, wash up the children, put the children to sleep, make milk etc… they are like maid.
Colleague: * feel the urge to turn to them to say “Excuse me…” *
Putting the term “maid” aside, there are actually pretty much of routine care we preschool teachers have to look into/take care of. But trust me, we definitely enjoy every moment of it. Just imagine how Cher Yanni enjoys herself during nap time - looking at the children entering/exiting their dreamland. =)
Probably unlike other sectors’ teachers, we preschool teachers may be easily forgotten by the little ones? How many of us actually remember who were our preschool teachers, not to mention visiting them on Teachers’ Day? Or even recognize them and say "hi" when bump into our preschool teachers?
Just a random entry... haha! =)

This is interesting. :) 1st time putting on diaper for a child! Come practise on Jaden. :)
The pri. school tr's conversation makes me smile. If I was the one talking to her, I would tell her that the preschool teachers are the fortunate ones! They can really enjoy the children as they are! I'm one pri school teacher who's considering to be a preschool teacher one day. Haha!
working with young children may be tough but what matters is the priceless result.
to Ing...
Definitely! Get Jaden ready! *shy*
Yeah I agree - "enjoy the children as they are". Looking forward to more years in this field and definitely be cool to have you in this field too! =)
to Cendrine...
