We started Nat at a Nursery school run by the MMI at Pasir Ris Park. Shirley and I took half day leave to make sure he was fine. I suspected that Nat being quite shy at times may not take it well, but I was told by many friends that he will get used to it and that we will have to perservere. The first 2 weeks were a trial period for Nat, which was why he was not in uniform. Shirley took the school bus with him for the first day, and Nat was fine with that. But from we heard from his grandma, and the school bus Auntie Sim, Nat was crying before he went up the bus. In fact, on a few occasions, when he saw the bus come, he ran off, with his grandma running after him. When he was asked whether he wanted to go to school at night, he said a firm "No". He even refused to change for school and even closed our front door.
