Updates of the Monster at CC - words only post

Dear all, if you are wondering how Travis is coping at cc, here's some updates.

Day 1 and Day 2 - Daddy accompany him (cause i have to work ma! school start liao... *STRESS*)
Day 1 - 29june
Reached around 8am, was willing to come down, run, play with puzzles etc. Then when it's time to go into classroom - cry - expected cause he HATES to be confined to a room. Was ok during bath time and slept at 10am - teachers pat him to zzz. Up at 11 plus am, refuse to have lunch, still crying so teachers asked jeff to bring him home.

Day2 - 30june
Same morning ritual of crying in the morning till around 10plus then he zzzz. Up at 11 plus am, was willing to actually try some lunch but sill depended on milk. So he finished up all the 3 servings of milk, 3 cubes of cheese. This time we packed along his rocket toy in his bag so he was fine just having it in his hand. His teachers told me that when other kids want to touch that toy he got ANGRY. haha!! Still quite whiny.

After 2 days - wants to be carried A LOT and doesn't really want to come down. Bath time is okay.

Day 3 - 1July
Morning - same same. Teachers told me that he is very attached to one teacher who is present only in the mornings till 115pm. So travis sticks to her a lot and cries when she is out of his sight. Oh dear, i hope she doesn't look like me! It's much better today cause he is willing to sit on the chair to eat his food. Also, he managed to zzz at the same time as the other kids at 1215pm. Waterplay on wed, teachers said initially refused to join, so thry brought toys closer to him and lured him to play. Finally he played! after water play and bath - cry again (11something - recall last 2 days he slept ard 10am plus). So teachers figured he wanted to zzz, and they tried to push back his zzz time by distracting him with other stuffs. Success. Today when he cried for attention - not actually cry but whine (super irritating noises), the teachers ignored him and it worked. He stopped whining and sat down and played other stuffs. So they told me they will use this approach as they realsed the moer they gave in to him, the more he wants to be carried and unwilling to join the group.

Well, definitely much better today. I hope he keeps up his good work!
