Alexander finally stepping up as the big brother..

My son has always been very 'sticky' to me. Always cries and being all emotional especially during the early morning at the school gate.. He would scream, shout and hold on to the car seats and we have to drag him to school most of the time.. Of course throughout a few months of his first time in school, he has accepted the fact that he must go school and there's no nonsense allowed, but he doesn't look happy, most of the time. 

This year, his little sister join him for pre-school.. In January, he was still acting normal, cries and wants to cling on to me.. But after the Chinese New Year holidays and we came back for classes just recently, he changed totally..

Besides wanting to cry and wanting my attention, one day he saw his little sister crying while we were sending them and he turned to her and said, "Don't cry mei mei (little sister in mandarin). Don't worry. Come." Then he hold her hand and walked into the school gate together.. Wave good bye and pat his sister on the back to comfort her.. 

Wah!!! I almost cried!! My son may not have been the top of the class, the most well behaved child or the most well eater among many children, but he sure have a big heart.. Because, this did not happened just for one day, it happened the next day too. He even helped his daddy take his little sister's school bag! :') I am so proud of Alexander.. 

I pray he will continue to love everyone around him like how Jesus loves them..
