Indi at school

I went to take pictures of Indi and his friends at his school... my heart was filled with so much joy and happiness when he saw me lurking at the window and he told (kinda shout) to his friends saying 'That's my Mummy! That's my Mama!" while pointing his tiny little fingers to me...
They were having their Mandarin circle time... they were singing Mandarin songs - which I think Indi doesn't know how to sing or understand what the teacher is saying - but he certainly knows how to follow the moves...

Catching Up..

So sorry for the very late up-date... time flies soooo quick that suddenly pictures are piling up on my computer, and stories forgotten to be shared.

I know we won't be able to share everything, but will try our best...

After a few months in school, here's a picture of Indi with some of his arts n crafts project... He likes painting, and the colour he loves most is blue... even though lately he's shown a big interest in red and black... St. Kilda's colour.. :-) (story on that later)

Bites and Bruises

Bites and bruises are part of growing up. But it still breaks your heart when it happens...



Bruise story: we just came back from a 10days holiday in Bali. On Sunday - February 25 - Indi and I went to the playground, he's sooo happy to see his buddy Stephen that his leap of joy was run his car into the playground railing.... lucky it didn't hit his eyes.



Bites story: February 27, as I picked him up from school Indi's teacher, Ms Li Ann, approached me. She explained that Indi was bitten by a boy from older class. My question was whether Indi started or provoked they boy that makes the boy bit him. Ms Li Ann said no, that boy is a biter... In the car Indi when I asked Indi how his day was, he mentioned a new name... 'Benedict'..., i thought he's trying to say 'Benjamin did "something" or whatever....' At home when I read the school communication book, turned out Benedict is the name of the boy who bit him.... I had tears in my eyes whenever I saw it. Poor Indi...



Despite all that... he's still the happy little boy he is...

First Day of School - 1

What do you think Indi's expression says?

This is taken as we hop off the car and getting ready to walk to the school gate...

Thanks to Troy for taking the pictures on Indi's first day of school... !
