graduation

Our first baby will be graduating from Kindergarten soon. We attended his Graduation Concert last night. Seeing him performing on stage, albeit for that brief moment, makes the daddy and me feel that our little boy has grown up. He's going to his P1 Orientation in 2 weeks time, where he will get to meet his new teachers and classmates. On that same day, he will also be saying goodbye to his dear K2 friends and teachers...

This afternoon, he came to me looking sad and told me that he cried. When I asked him why, he started crying and said he feels sad that his concert is over. That he likes his concert, that he likes his friends. He was crying and talking to me at the same time. It broke my heart to see him already starting to miss his friends...

I sat there hugging him as he cried. All I can do is to be there for him, and to comfort him. Kinda dramatic, I know, for a K2 boy... but well, our boy is a very sensitive guy. Very much like his mummy. So I kinda understand him.

Anyway, he was alright after crying and became his usual happy self again.

I guess this is the first big transition of his young life. And something he just has to go through.

And somehow, he gets to experience the pain of separation and know that such things are part and parcel of life.

Our baby is growing up...
