Effects of the Tiara

Showing off her new tiara hairband which Auntie Ivy bought for her, to cheer her up. It worked! Material girl!

Getting Better

Getting better, but still needs time to establish greater peer/social support. She has identified her favourite teacher and friend, mornings are still a teary affair. She needs more time.

Berlayer's Creek Prowlers

Scratching his head, he haven't got a clue as to where he is. We are at the Berlayer's Creek boardwalk.

Sarah was unleashed!

Looks like she has not been out for a long time!

Archie trying to catch up!

His awkward smile.

Her silly face.

Awkward smile + Silly face.

She is still running, obviously oblivious to the distance that we are about to cover!

All smiles.

Grouchy time.

Mood swing.

At the most scenic part of the walk, from the creek out into the sea.

She is unable to pose properly.

Millionaire's playground.

Small boy and the massive apartment.

The stunning facade of the Reflections at the Bay.

Looks like they enjoyed themselves, but at the end of our 2 hours plus walk, Sarah told us she does not want to come back here again! The walk has worn them out! 

Transitional Week

Despite the smile on her face, it's been a tough week for her. She is still traumatised by what was done by her previous teacher. She has to leave behind all her good friends whom she grew up together with and be parachuted into a new environment with no familiar faces. She has been crying every morning when we dropped her at the school. Although we leave her with heavy hearts, at least we are sure that she is in safe hands and not subjected to bullying.

Today, she finally got her new set of uniform, that perked her up a bit, she is no longer the odd one out in school, wearing home clothes. However, she got into a playground accident the previous night. Seeing that she was not in the best of mood, I thought of cheering her up by bring her to the playground after school. An elder boy fell near her and his teeth sank into her forehead, as a result, she got a laceration. It was a small cut however it was deep, blood was gushing down from her forehead and she got freaked out. The wound is still fresh, hence we put a plaster on to prevent further exposure to bacteria and her hair from sticking onto the wound, which has started to swell.

Better days ahead!

A new beginning

Her first week at her new school, photos were taken by her principal.

I did it!

Showing off the posture that she had been practicing since the first class. Today she finally managed to achieve it.

Ryhan joins the crowd.

He is overjoyed!

Self shoot?

Goofy.

Silly.

Her last photo in RLC uniform

Our final shot of her in Kinderland Uniform. We had always thought she would eventually complete her kindergarten studies there. However, things took a drastic change when she moved from Pre-Nursery to Nursery. Sarah was targeted by this particular Nursery teacher. After too many recurrence incidents and nasty things were done and said to her. We decided that we could not longer put her at risk, we did an immediate withdrawal and transfer.

On the way to Sunday School
