Yohanism #33 - Yohan in Prep


My son is now in Prep. It warms my heart to see him grow up. Here's a photo of Yohan in his uniform which I took yesterday before the school service picked him up from the house. He said good bye to his back pack and started using his big school bag with wheels. He now has more subjects in school so he needs a bigger bag to carry his books and notebooks.

This year, the school changed the boys' uniform for preschool. It used to be plain blue shorts. Now it's checkered shorts, similar to the girls' skirt.

This is the second week of school. The house still feels unusually quiet and lonely in the morning when my son is in school. I'm always eager to welcome him home when he arrives.

It's funny because there was a time I must have kissed him a hundred times when he arrived from school because he told me,"Mom that is enough kisses for the day." Ha ha!

Awww, Yohan, I hope it is still ok for mom to kiss you, don't grow up to fast :)

I know what you mean with unusually quiet and lonely - felt that too during the first two days. Nakakamiss din pala ang chatter nila no? I hugged my girls tightly too on that first day I picked them up from school.
Yohan's such a big boy na!

dong ho said...

Kids grow up very fast. Take the time to enjoy them while they are young. :)

Before you know, he will be in high school.

mixednuts said...

Hi Rach. Enjoy this time. I remember when my youngest got into the "big" school, he'd look around first before I could kiss him goodbye in school. Of course this did not stop me.

Junnie said...

shimumsy said...

He looks adorable. I know that when Jeffrey starts school, it will be a very hard adjustment for me. They grow up too fast.

annamanila said...

Too early for the empty nest syndrome! :)

Seriously, you need one more Yohan or Yohanna. But another one is coming up, di ba?

All best Rach.

Alice Teh said...

Yohan is growing up fast! :)

JO said...

it's time to give Yohan a little brother or sister so that the house will no longer be quiet when he's at school.

bang said...

sheng said...

Yohan is prim and proper. He is getting taller!

Ciao Rach, Yohan is growin' up fast. Look how adorable he is! :) Hope he has fun in school. BTW, I love his Father's Day drawing! 8)

One of Zeno's ex co-workers will move to Singapore next here (for work). She has been there for 3 days last month and said it's a stunning place. :)

Yummy new recipe, your husband looks like a passionate cook :) that's nice! My hubby likes to cook too. We are two lucky gals! ;)

Have a lovely day, big hugs!

Tani said...

My son is also in prep. I still kiss him and hug him a lot. :) He'll always be his mama's boy.

Tani said...

oh, I love his comment! :D My sons never say so to me, hmmmm, likely 'cos I haven't kissed him enough.... :)

vk said...

wow Yohan............

you looks so cute........laki mo na tingnan.

hay, sandali lang ang time talaga.......

then tomorrow, he do it alone already.........

odette said...

he's already a big boy indeed!
it's funny rach, but in a few years, maybe he won't let you kiss him anymore especially when his friends are around. you better take advantage of it now that he's much younger still. ^-^

ibyang said...

congratulations on your little boy's latest milestone. i can feel how much you miss having him around the house.

princess said...

We're in the heat of our summer break right now. WOW, binatang-binata na si Yohan. More kisses to you, hahahah......
