Late for School

Time flies as Ian has already attended the first week in preschool. Getting him ready for school is quite challenging as he takes his own sweet time in getting up, having breakfast, shower and dressing up. We woke him up at about 7am everyday, and he really can take 1 hour to get ready.

Kids might not understand time management or rather TIME as a whole. So when you asked them to quickly eat their breakfast as time is running out, it could mean nothing to them. So, daddy had a very smart idea and that is to trick him on Thursday (a public holiday). We treat that day as a school day, we got him ready and drove him to school. When we arrived at the school gate, he was shocked to see that there is no one around. No teachers and no children. Then we told him that all the teachers and children are inside the school playing and reading. Because he was slow in doing everything, he is late and the gates are closed and he is not allowed to join the children in school.

He was asking us to go down and open the gate and we said we do not have the key. While driving back home, we told him that due to his "Slowness" in getting ready for school everyday, there's the consequence that he has to face-No school for him for that day. So the very next day, when we said, "You better be quick, else school will close again". And this time round, it's a little bit easier trying to get him ready for school.

We were teasing him the whole day saying that he's slow and the school gates closes. And we also call him "Super Slow Snail". Of course, he always reply to say that he is "Superman". Kids are kids.
