At his age of 22 months, I sent him to Montessori. Kimi has been a sociable toddler all these while, and I thought he can take the new place very soon. But never did I expect he cried so badly on the first day. We put him there for a hew hours only on the first day to let him slowly adapting into the Montessori life. One day passed, two days passed, three days passed and so on… Every day he cried when I put him there. But luckily the teachers and the helpers there are very helpful. Teacher even sent me SMSes and short video clips to update us Kimi’s progress. The teachers there told us, no need to worry, they will try to settle down Kimi and assisting him to his new place. They are really very helpful!

However, I realized I took his emotions too lightly forgetting that he might need more time to adapt... Haih… My poor baby…. Not too sure is it because he has been crying too badly, or is he feeling scare or unsecure with the new place, or his immunity system is a bit weak …. Kimi fell sick on the 4th day night, very high fever!
All came one after another. I think not long after he recovered from his fever, he got his cough virus spread from me in another week… Haih, fever, coughing and running nose visited him again…. Poor Kimi! For the past one week++, he has been seeing doctor for a total of 3 times and did one nebulizer treatment in hospital. I think Kimi has been eating medicine until scare and I fed him fed until I myself also scare. We have been forcing him to eat those medicine, and then he rejected them by vomited out everything, making his recovery period takes longer. Cleaning up the mess after Kimi vomited and trying to make him feel ease after crying are my daily jobs for the past almost 2 weeks. But the lucky thing is that, despite he is sick, Kimi still can continue with his daily activities at home, playing and watching TV, eating his food and drinking his milk (although the intake is lesser compare to before sick, he is still able to drink it). Really hope that Kimi can fully recover very soon!

But then he cried a lot after we left! Pity him ~ Hope that he will adapt into the new environment very soon. The teachers there told us that Kimi is getting better on each day. But due to he is on and off sick, he has been absent from his Montessori for a few days already. Wondering will he get used to it when we send him back there again after he is fully recovered?
Thanks to Hubby for his help all these weeks… We took turns to apply leaves. He even changed his working shifts a couple of times with his colleague just to fetch Kimi to see the doctor and helped me to take care of Kimi. I think without him, I won’t be able to go through these few days alone by myself.
Hope that Kimi can recover very soon and be a healthy toddler always!

Hi ShinY, after reading post about Kimi at the Lil's Ones, I learns that it is normal then. My Yong Shin also experienced the same thing!
She felt sick after first week, high fever, bad cough, running nose, etc.. and we also visited child specialist, and even went to SDMC at midnight, because she coughed really badly, and vommited... and that was not the first time.. luckily she was still able to play around, and had fun.
After 3 weeks, she finally never cry when I send her to the childcare. But she still never recovered. So, I brought her to see child specialist again at SDMC, the doc that follow her case since she was born (got all injections at his clinic as well), then doc said can hear noises in her lungs, so got the spray type of medicine. Maybe I should take photos, and show you then. Now. she slowly recovers... Hopefully no more "surprises" from now on. :)
Sun Sun, thank you so much on your feedbacks!! Thanks for sharing... Kimi is still coughing until now, see I think the 6th time of paed already.. Really hope he can recover soon :)
His paed told me this is quite normal as he is adjusting in a new environment and eventually he will get use to it soon. Really hope that he can recover fast-fast!
