Niels' First Day in School

Mama and Papa have been waiting for this day, that I, Niels Janssens, go for the first time to school!  And today is the day when I can prove I am already a big boy who can enjoy the day without crying for Mama and Papa, can eat and drink good on my own, can go to the toilet when necessary independently, and make myself busy with AAAAALLLLL the toys available, whatever it is!

Last night I had a very good sleep, so prepped up with all the energy I would be needing today to go to school.  When I woke up Mama asked me, "Where are we going today?" and my immediate answer..."Naar schoooooool!!!"  So enthusiastic and excited to go there and play again with the autos, blokjes, pots and pans there with Juf Inge.

We ate breakfast, dressed up and went to school with the bike! Its not far from home and the weather was nice so we decided to go with our bikes.

School starts at 9am, it was 8.50am when we got there.  This year Mamas and Papas can still bring us to our classroom.  So I walked down the hall to our classroom with Mama and Papa and we hung my jacket and placed my bag where it should be.  Suddenly..."Waaaaaah!!!" There were 2 children in my class that where crying so hard I could not even hear what Mama and Papa where saying to me.  But I didnt care much, they probably hurt themselves on the way in :-)  But I, I wanted to go already inside and start playing...but oh, I forgot to say Bye to mama and papa...and they needed it badly :-) So I hugged them and kissed them to give them comfort and so they wont feel sad :-)

A big hug for Papa, hope he didnt cry ;-)

And then starts playtime!!!!

At 12.15pm all the children were waiting at the gym for the teachers to open the door so we can go to our mama's and papa's that probably were so worried about what happened to us...they didnt know WE HAD FUN!!!

Then I saw Mama and Papa by the window and I shouted so loud to Juf Inge "Kijk! Mama and Papa zijn daar!!!"  And when she opened the door I rushed to Mama and Papa and proudly showed them what I got!

A balloon and most of all, a stamp for being a very good boy!

Saw Mama and Papa by the window

Hello!!! School is finished for today!

Look at my "Thumbs Up" stamp!

Mama and Papa had many questions but I answered them all and then after a while Juf Inge came to us to let them know that I was such a good boy.  I played with all the different toys in the room, I ate good, I went to the toilet and washed my hands properly, and most importantly not a single tear from my eyes fell!

The names of my classmates I do not know yet, but it will come.  So far I only know Juf Inge, the rest will come the longer I stay there.  Today is just half day and Mama and Papa treated me FRIES for lunch! 

Im already looking forward to tomorrow!  Another day, another play day!

To my onthaalmoeder Nic, I miss you and the kids but here is also fun!!!!!  I will definitely visit you again and more often I guess as soon as my baby sis comes staying with you in January.  But so far, Im having fun!

Good night guys,

Niels

PS Sleeping time is now earlier than normal!
