Today is the first day of my son M goes to school.
A family with a schooling child can be very busy. Washing the school uniform, buying ready-to-eat ingredients, and even writing his name on every stuff to prevent him from losing them. On Sunday, M said he did not want to go to school because he would be nervous on the first day. To be honest, as young parents, we are just as nervous as him. Will he manage to go to the toilet? Will he listen to the teacher? Is it ok for him to eat by himself? Are there any chances that he would be bullied? We can tell anyone all these anxieties but him. The only thing we can do is comforting him and gently coax him to sleep.
On Monday, we got up early in the morning to prepare lunch for M. Blueberries, yogurt, ham and cheese sandwiches - all his favorite food. He also got up early. As soon as he finished breakfast, he began to hurried us to set off. It seemed that he was nervous and excited. He put on the big school uniform, with a big backpack on his back. For that moment we couldn't help but sigh with emotion that our son grew up!
When we arrived at school, we could tell that he was very confused and anxious. It is normal when surrounding by so many strangers in such a strange place, how terrible can it be to a little kid. At the moment he was about to cry out, the savior came! Several kindergarten playmates appeared in front of him! He began to smile. The cold and unfriendly campus became warmer and comfortable. When school bell rang, they joint the crowd together with singing and laughing, leaving all the worries behind. When the teacher called his name, he stood up happily and waved goodbye to us. We watched him went into the classroom, and finally felt relax a little bit. We couldn't believe that five years had passed. He was no longer a baby crying for food and drink but a school child carrying a school bag. How comfort and proud as we are as his parents! We are now prepared for tougher days.
After coming back from school, we asked M about his first day. M said it was fun without hesitate. He had eaten up all his lunch. He also made new friends instead of getting injured in a fight. It seems he was doing well which let us relieved. After the first day, we received letters and tables prepared for parents, but he did not get homework. Seems like that preschool education is more friendly to children abroad, no wonder he likes to go to school! I hope he will continue to enjoy learning and have a happy childhood.

今天，我们家的M第一天上学。
一个小孩上学，整家人在忙。洗校服啦，买准备便当的食材啦，还要每样小东西上帮他写上名字，以免他把东西搞丢了，一点也不能少操心。星期天晩上，M说他不想上学，因为第一天上学会紧张。其实我们心里还不是一样紧张:紧张他会不会自己上厕所;紧张他会不会不听老师的话;紧张他会不会不吃饭;紧张他会不会被欺负。这些焦虑不安，都不能跟他说。只能想辨法安慰他，轻轻地哄他入睡。
星期一，我们一早爬了起来，替M准备午餐:蓝莓，酸奶，火腿芝士三文治。都是他最爱吃的食物。他自己也早早起来，吃过早餐就催着我们走。看来他是又紧张又兴奋。他穿上那偏大的校服，带着大大的背包，还是让我们感慨，儿子长大了！
到了学校，可以看得出他十分迷茫和焦虑。这也不难理解，始终是个陌生的地方，茫茫人海中没有一个熟悉的面孔，对小孩来说还是挺可怕的。就在他快要哭出来的那一刻，救星来了！一个，两个，三个，幼儿园熟悉的玩伴在他面前出现！他开心的笑了。冰冷陌生的校园终于变得温暖。校钟响起，他牵着玩伴嘻嘻哈哈的集合去了，刚刚的阴霾早就远去。当老师叫到他的名字时，他高高兴兴的站了起来，跟我们挥手再见。我们目送他进课室，终于可以放下心头大石。不知不觉就五年了，从当初只个哭和吃的小不点，到现在背着背包的大小孩。总算熬过去了，想想也觉得自己了不起！现在，终于可以迎接更难熬的日子了！
晚上回来接他放学，问，学校好玩吗？M大声说好玩。午餐全吃光了，没有打架没有受伤，还交了新朋友，看来他适应得不错，也让我们松了口气。第一天回来，给家长的信和表格一大堆，他却没有功课。还是在国外轻松，怪不得这么喜欢上学！希望他会继续喜欢，在学习之余有个轻松快乐的童年。
