Baby Progress
2 of our frens' wives have just given birth one after another since last week and I begin to realise that "my day" will arrive VERY soon... 9weeks to countdown!! Perhaps having to babysit a young toddler at home, keep me so much busier that I did not even realise that time passed so fast!! This 2nd pregnancy also give me an almost different experience right from the beginning when I conceived. This baby moves ALOT more than Jamie and somehow I'm getting more and more nervous as the DAY approaches.....

Flash Cards
Finally I received my blank flash cards from 2 separate suppliers this afternoon. Mmm... I will probably start off with my 130 customized Chinese word lists and have it printed out so that I can use it to teach Jamie (tried writing it on the cards but I simply cannot tolerate my handwriting!! Hence gonna print it out instead..more time consuming, definitely!)

How To Teach Your Baby to Read
I have been exploring many English educational books since early this year and have yet to find the so-called best solution to teach Jamie how to recognise words rather than pictures which she is capable of naming most of those commercial flash cards + pictures that I bought from Popular Bookstore.
While Jamie is currently reading I Can Read Chinese progressive books when she was about 19months old (she is capable of recognising the Chinese words after rounds of reading), I have yet to find a compatible English resources for her till I happened to read up from a local forum regarding Glenn Doman's teaching, The Gentle Revolution.
However to invest in GD's English Reading Kit, is not going to be cheap!! After many days & nights of sourcing, connecting & getting suggestions from various moms who had used the kit (their children are now able to read books that are at beyond their age range), I finally found the solution whereby I need not have to invest in the reading kit at all! Hurray !! I am truly excited about it and am looking forward to start Jamie on GD's teaching soon.
As for the Maths Kits, I will loan it from a fren who is willing to let me try it out :D

Jamie's Fav Playing Corner
This becomes her favourite playing corner every time when I go for my checkup at Raffles Hospital. She loves to hug the turtle soft toy while sitting in the Step 2 car. At least this will keep her busy while I take my time off for a cup of hot chocolate and of course flipping through the magazines.
And I am glad that I managed to hit baby's weight equivalent to Jamie's when she was around 31 weeks old. As the gynae had mentioned previously that our son will be somewhere around 40th percentile, I need to continue to consume at least 2-3 glasses of milk. Baby's weight, in fact is slightly higher than Jamie.. 1.45kg. Jamie was around 1.4kg.

Happy Birthday, Godmum!!
Today's godmum birthday. Time really flies... she's already 65 years of age!! We had a lunch celebration with godmum and family at a restaurant near Clementi. The paper wrappin chicken simply fan-tas-tic!!!!!
While CQ was kind to help me to babysit our cranky Jamie (due to the medication that she had taken this morning), I managed to have some private time catching up with godmum and the rest. It will probably be quite some time later, or perhaps after I give birth, before we can chat again.

Reading Time
While I was busy digging out clothes, hoping to find some nice & presentable one to wear during Katy & Sze Wee's wedding tea ceremony, Jamie was found quietly seated at the reading corner with her books.

The Pink Tower
Since Jamie's ill this week, both of us are sort of home bound for the past and next few days. And I find time harder to pass as I need to find more things for her to do.
Then I suddenly recalled having this set of Montessori materials that I bought some time back which I think its about time that (suitable for 2 1/2 years above toddlers) I should start to teach her using these materials.
Here I am teaching Jamie to build a pink tower, ranging from the biggest block at the bottom right up to the top. This is suppose to develop the child's visual and muscular perception of dimension.

Aiyo Why "Tag" Me ??
Was wondering what's tag means when cutting edge then KH too ... Ah-ha....I finally got it! I shall have mine up soon. Haiz... am actually in the mist of my tiredness cos Jamie fell ill since Mon night with some cough. Of course, one will not settle for itself. Tues morning she was down with real bad coughing, some sneezes and high fever (>38.3 degress celsius) !!!
That kept me in 100% alertness as we don't want her to kena another febrile fits again!! Oh boy, it was SO tiring man!! Hope she will recover real soon.
