on the opposite side of the desk

I can’t quite pinpoint when it happened, but suddenly it had.

My (first) baby is not a baby anymore.

It seems just yesterday that he was as small and cute as  he was in this picture which the Hasbern says is one of his favourite.


I’ve always enjoyed Parents-Teachers Meet as a teacher – seeing the clowns suddenly turning all meek and pijak semut tak mati in front of their parents. And then now I was on the opposite end of the table. We attended the Iyad Parents-Teachers Meet recently where we got updates on his progress. We’re generally happy with how he’s bloomed these past 6 months.

His teacher, however, did mention some behavioral changes after he got his baby brother. My sweet baby needs a little help with anger and conflict management. A phase that he’s going through I guess, and something we think will pass.

I must admit I was squirming at my seat. And this is the very first of many many more Parents-Teachers Meet to come in the next errr…..12 years or so….

Anyway, here’s cik abang posing beside (the picture of) his ‘girlfriend’ Qistina.

ambil gambar dengan gambar pun jadilah...

    Ilhan's grown so big now aye? Whether it's a positive or negative feedback, I've always enjoyed going to Parents-Teacher Meeting as a parent. It's a nice change from being the teacher who has to 'report' about other people's children. :)

    hee hee...i know what you mean, especially when you have to think of euphemisms to describe their kids, like how si polan ni makes the class livelier actually means 'anak cik ni tak tahu duduk diam selalu mengganggu ketenteraman kelas...'...hahaha

    its always easier bila cakap pasal anak orang eh, when its about your own child, mesti nervous... during the last Parent teacher conference, we were informed that haziq will show his angry face at his tr, for repremanding him when he did not complete his work on time as he was talking a lot...
