So DPS finally opened for Sahej on 17th June. It was a hard morning for Sahej. He has been unwell for 2-3 days now. Earlier it was fever and yesterday it turned into cold. Last night, he had cried a lot while we were trying to do his juda and had vomited in the process. In the morning, it was hard to awake him, which was not unknown as Sahej normally wakes at around 11. So after a hard fought battle between him and us, he finally was ready to go to school. He got his bag, books, lunch box, water bottle and dashed away to school. As it was the first day, we were expected to drop him to school. We reached there and then searched for his class. He has been alloted Section D in Nursery. When we reached his class, Sahej went to greet his teacher, who incidentally was talking to one of the parents. He waited patiently for the teacher to finish her talk and then greeted her affectionately and also told her his name. Sure enough, Sahej knows how to make first impressions and also knows how to score marks among those who matter. Finally he settled in one of the chairs and was among the select few who were not crying for the fear of the school. He was busy shaking hands with other kids. We left him there to enjoy his first day. We then came back at around 12 to pick him from school. He had not touched his lunch box which was strange. We then dropped him back home and there he started relaxing. No mean feat for Sahej to wake up at 7 in the morning and get ready to school. He must have been dead tired.
His first few saturdays have been made working because school opened late. So some stress for Sahej in the coming days as he copes with the changed routine of getting up early and going to school.
Best of luck for his school and hope he performs good there.
