My baby girl will be 4 next month. Initially I wanted to delay sending her to pre-school and plan to only register her when she turns 4.5 years old. But since the start of this year, I observe that she is more than ready to start pre-school. She now knows her ABCs, 123s, all her colors and shapes, knows how to speak in BM and starting to learn how to speak in Mandarin and recently she even knows how to do simple addition using her fingers. She always tells me that she wants to go to school, is yearning with all her heart to participate in the concert and even aspires to give speech in the concert and be the top student! She adores to bits being a ballerina too. The only thing that is holding me back in sending her to school and ballet classes is a minor post-op problem that she is facing with her bladder. Well, hopefully attending pre-school will in a way help to ‘train’ her ‘lazy bladder’.

… and learning simple addition too.
So it’s confirmed. My baby girl will go to pre-school in April, just a few days shy of her 4th birthday!

She is definately ready for pre-school. More ready than many 4 years old kids.
congrats to your decision. Baby C must be very excited when you gave her the green light right?
Wah Baby is going to school soon. Hope she can adapt well and enjoy her schooling.
Oh, she must be thrilled!
But I bet you’re gonna miss her loads when she’s in school 😉
awww…baby girl is a big girl already. i bet she’s looking forward to going to school. are you getting your tissues ready?
yay for baby C! can’t believe how fast she has grown ya and the fact that we know what she has gone through, everyone is so proud of her. think other moms (and maybe dads) who have been following her closely will need tissues! 😉
well done cassandra!
Yep, I think I will need the tissues haha! Syn, still remember you emailed me 3 yrs ago, only to find out (from that familiar name) that my hubs & I actually know you 😀
can’t agree more with what Syn Nee wrote above. I think i need the tissues too. we all literally ‘watched’ Baby C grow from your blog. seems like just yesterday that you gave birth to a chubby wubby baby *sniff*
Baby C will do so well! My dtr when she went to kindergarten (one year before Gr 1) couldn’t even count past 10 and certainly did not know all her alphabet.
Barb, yes and I can’t believe that we’ve known each other for almost 5 years thru our blogs 🙂
Chris, thanks. I hope she’ll like kindy and will do well.
oh, i didn’t know a child has to be “ready” academically to go to preschool… hehe… they go when it’s “aged” to go, don’t they? william started in january, because that’s the only intake his kindy takes. all da best to Cassandra!
Such a healthy, wholesome little girl you have there, Shireen. Kudos to all the pain and hard work in raising 3 special girls, lady!
