Twinkle twinkle little star..r..z...zzzz

This little scenario was related to me by one of the childcare teacher.

A playgroup full of little todds is getting rowdy. The little ones somehow got over excited and started jumping up and down creating a big din. In an attempt to tame them, the teachers got the children to all lie down and look up at the ceiling and imagine that they are looking at the sky.

Teacher : "wahhh you see sky…, very nice…."

The little ones lay down and looked as guided by the teachers. The group started to sing songs like twinkle twinkle little star. To make the environment even more soothing, the teacher actually off the lights to simulate night time. Not too long after that all the kids got "cooled" down and was singing co-operatively. Time passed by fast and soon it was tea break time!

The teachers on the classroom lights and all the little ones sprung up, except for one little figure, who continued to lie down all curl up. The teacher went close to check and realized :"Oh!! Ah –Bee had fallen asleep!" hahahhaha that Ah-Bee was none other than my dear little boy. (Ah- Bee is how I addressed him and his teachers had since used this little nick to address him too.)

Seems like he got a little too comfy and doze off.

Crissy, when he was an infant, I used to call him "baby". As he grew bigger and I lazier, I shorten it to "By" (pronouce as Bee". As a typical Chinese Hokkien, we always like to add an "ah" in front of most nicks so somehow, it has evolved to "Ah Bee" and it was cute that the centre adopted this nick too.

The teachers did this through their own observation and also because they wanted him to feel more at ease and at home at the centre :)

Oh haha 'Ah Bee' sounds very Hokkien.
