It is almost 2 weeks since Max is in childcare... The 1st week was quite terrible. I accompanied him for half day during the 1st day. At 1st was quite ok as they were listening to music and he was able to participate a little. But when they went back to their own section for their own activities, he started to cry and always want me to accompany him. When i'm out of sight, he will cry even the teacher did carry him and coax him.
I did not accompany him most of the time during the 2nd day as per the teacher's advice. He cried and stopped all the time he was in childcare. He refused his lunch even as I went in to feed him.
The same cycle went on for that 1st week. He cried and stopped and cried and stopped. He did not eat much of his lunch and totally refused if the childcare served noodles for lunch. He just did not like noodles.
He fared a bit better for the 2nd week although he did cry a bit when my MIL dropped him off at childcare. Started to hear some complaints from the teacher, such as he kept walking around, refused to sit still and even hit a classmate once. As per teacher advice, we are still sending him to half day childcare for the 1st month, after which the teacher suggest we can fetch him home after nap time for the 2nd month.
During these 2 weeks or so, every night will hear some kind of minor complaints from my MIL such as the following:
1) Why do they cook noodles for 2 consecutive days w/o much ingredients? No nutrients...
2) The soup must add msg, that why it is tasty and Max will drink alot
3) The teacher cant take care of so many kids. That why when Max's water bottle went missing they did not notice.
and many more small things.
She also comment that Max is not afraid of teacher, totally ignore her when she called him. Also help out in keeping toys etc. Since Max is not afraid of anything or anyone, so she should not be worrying too much. I know she may mean nothing but everytime i hear these kinds of "small complaints" every night is quite irritating for me.

Some Updates
Long time since last update...
Currently I'm 6+mths pregnant with my 2nd child.. a gal... Am quite happy as I have a boy of going to 2 yrs and a gal soon... This is perfect since I decided to have only 2 kids. Perhap it is due to my 2nd pregnancy and am always busy (or angry with my active son), up till now I have not make any plans or decisions about my baby gal... can't even have an idea of gals names hahahaha... My poor gal... Feel that my gal is more active in my tummy compared to my son when I'm preggy with him. And i heard many comments that nowaday gals are also very active and naughty. With such activeness in my tummy feel kind of worried if my 2 kids are so active and naughty at the same time... will faint...
Last week my MIL was on a tour to Taiwan so I took leave to take care of Max. All I can say is the past week there are hard and sweet times. Max can be so extreme at times.. being so naughty 1 day yet being so sweet and cute the next day.. really test my patience. He is very cute at this period of time. Become ad advent fan of Hi-5 and will always dance along with their songs and even know some of their simple steps.. Kind of worried as he is going to be 2 yet he still cant talk, only a few simple phrases. But he will point or know whatever items we mentioned. Maybe as elders said he is just lazy to talk.
He is going to enter into childcare soon next week as he needs some time to get used to childcare and won't feel rejected once baby sister comes along. I'm not quite worried about how he fare in childcare. Sigh the slight problem is my MIL is always worry about this and that when Max is in childcare. He is not even in childcare for a day yet she is predicting Max is not suitable for childcare. Like she is afraid Max did not eat enough food, tells me not to let them bathe Max in the beginning as she afraid the teachers will anyhow bathe him and let water gets into his ears etc... She even suggusts to withdraw him from childcare when he has not step into childcare!! Faint... I understand she is just protective of him. But sometimes i feel too over protective that she seems to prevent him to try out new things. I predicted I will face more "objections" when Max show any signs of unhappiness, sickness or slimming down when in childcare.
