Lizam always said to Umi every time he watched Timmy Time (one of his favorite cartoon), "Lizam want to go to school".
One day, there was a phone-call from one of school here offered a toddler group session. Umi thought the session would be like toddler group in one of school in BSB, where you have to leave adult/s to accompany your child. However, in this club, they encourage us to leave our children as there are teachers who can look after them. Furthermore, our kids can practice themselves before they go to real school later on.

For the first time, when Lizam entered the classroom, he got excited then ran to the toys and played LIGO with couples of toddlers. Ayah & Umi were surprised seeing Lizam was comfortable and happily played. We thought that Lizam has grown-up and becoming independence boy now. So, we asked Lizam to shake our hand and kiss good-bye, which he did! then we left. Delightful with Lizam's behaviour, we assume that Lizam is ready to go to school next year.
Unfortunately, when Ayah went to pick-up Lizam, he was crying! The teacher tried to calm him down by offering lots of fun activities but it didn't work! And we wondered why?! Is it because of the teachers or friends or what?! The teacher stated that Lizam started to cry after one of the kids there crying. But when we asked Lizam why, he didn't answer.

We gave a second try, sending Lizam to that school again. From Lizam's looked and obvious behaviour, he didn't want to go there anymore. We had to drag him out from the car and to the classroom. Lizam started to cry heavily when he saw the room and didn't want to enter it at all! Even one of the teachers bribed him with a toy, he ignored it. Instead Lizam pulled Umi's hand back to the car and said that he didn't want to go to school! The puzzle is still unsolved~ Why?!

Umi is excited to continue surveying the right school for Lizam for next year. Thanks to MamaUsu for accompany Lizam & Umi to do the survey and gave opinions. Finally we went to the last school in our list. The location is convenience for Umi to send and pick-up Lizam to/after school. The school and surrounding is clean too. Lizam's first impression was excited seeing adult toddlers running around. "This is fun!", Lizam said. By hearing that it made Umi blissful. But his impression started to change when we went for a visit to Kindergarten classroom where group of toddlers singing & playing together. Lizam held Umi's hand so tight as if he didn't want to let it go! Bingo! The mystery is solved! Lizam is actually experienced a separation anxiety!
Now, every time we ask Lizam to go to school, he will said, "I don't want, Lizam cry~". Ayah & Umi become headache! Aiyooo~
