Snow City Excursion

This was one of my planned excursion for the children for this last week of school holiday. They were extraordinary excited and thrilled indeed!! In fact, I think Jamie loved this the best cos she got to play 3 more times sliding down the snow slope wif her papa after we all did once! I was in awe as she was extremely brave indeed! (I was too cold to try another round hence was waiting wif Jeremy at the foot of the slope while Jeremy was busy playing wif his color coloring hotwheels car)

Jamie's Abacus Progress

This is the current no. of books that the teacher is coaching Jamie. Seems overwhelming huh? Freak not, she is doing fine. Today she has started multiplication and she also started addition of 10 single numbers. Can you add 1 to 10 correctly within seconds ?? One thing for sure, I can't.

Zoo Excursion

Today is one of the BEST weather we ever had for our Zoo outing! Everything went on smoothly and Jamie Jeremy had enjoyed themselves alot especially at the newly renovated Kidz World. It's our 1st re-visit after it was refurbished lately.

Jeremy's Nursery Progress Report

Should blog this much earlier. He was obviously weaker in his fine & gross motor skills but has since improved now.

Training Mug

Didn't want to let him drink from mug so soon but I thought its good to try new things and Joshua is ever so ready whenever I introduce new stuff to him!!

Reading Session

Jamie loves to read. And she loves to to read to her 2 little brothers. Today, I found her reading some books to Joshua although he is not as attentive as Jeremy, but her effort is commendable.

Writing Skills

This was his attempt in writing numbers months back in school. Now he can control the pencil better hence I'm not as worry as before.
One thing I am impressed is Jeremy's coloring skill!! Think most 4yo boys will have some degree of difficulty wif coloring.

Boxing Day

It was indeed a LONG wait for Jamie & Jeremy as they can't wait to open up all the presents under the christmas tree!!! Thank God for His provision that the children can still receive nice presents year after year.

Joshua 1st Christmas

My 13mth Bonus!!

Tada!! Thanks papa!

Blessed Christmas

This year is very much "quiet" indeed!! Cos we didn't have our usual Christmas party at home as my parents were in Malaysia during this season wif my sister and her family. Nevertheless, it's also good for me since part of my time is wif Josh now. But we had an impromptu dinner at our place wif CQ's family and the kids had lotsa fun playing wif their cousins too. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Visitation

We finally had a short gathering wif Levine & her son, Ivan!! It's not easy for both of us to meetup as we dun stay near each other. Though its a short 1hr+ gathering, we had a good time together. And as usual, learnt some magic tricks from her lor!

MV Doulos @ Vivo City

This evening we went to Vivo City to meet papa after his work ended. It was meant to be a night of "presents" hunting for Jamie & Jeremy but we ended up visited Doulos while waiting for papa. Jeremy was very happy and had been pestering me to bring him to a real ship days ago and finally this lil boy has his wish come true!!

Semi Solid Food

I took Josh's pediatrician's advise (early intro' suppose to reduce bb allergy) and started him on some puree today. Surprisingly he is SUPER ready for it!! And yelled when we din feed him fast enough! But I don't intend to feed him daily though.. afterall he is only 4mths+. To me, its a lil too soon to start weaning him. Will probably do it once or twice a week and then rest for another week or so b4 start him again.

Counting Down

Finally received the school's letter regarding Jamie's class allocation as well as things to bring along on 1st day of school. Everything has been prepared, from ironing of school uniform to packing of her books etc, now is just counting down to the BIG day...

Hotwheels New Gadget Diecast Car

This was one of Jeremy's bday presents which I didn't give him. Since he was asking for present, I decided to let him have it. We were all in awe on how swiftly the car changed its color within split seconds!!

Early Reading

Started Joshua wif board books since he was around 3mths old. Who says early literacy is not good??

Abacus Practise

While I was coaching Jeremy, Jamie on the other hand, was doing her usual daily abacus activities. She is now into advanced stage and soon she is going into multiplication b4 end of this year.

Home Practise

It's been quite some time Jeremy hasn't been practising using his fine motor skills and here , Jeremy is taught to stack up knobless cylinders using his logical skills as well. Not easy cos he needs to arrange for the thinnest to the thicknest in terms of width and height.

Spindle Box

After that, I also started revising number bonds and counting using the spindle box wif him.

3D Under the Sea Art & Craft

We did (I think I did the most!) this during our free time. Nice??

Backdated

Jamie started to swallow capsules last month, 11th when she suddenly out of the blue, asked me if she can try to swallow. And to my surprised, she did it!! And now, its so much easier to feed her supplements. And this Jeremy, upon seeing how his sister did, he also asked me to allow him to try. Guess what? He did it too!!! That's the power of peer pressure, whahhahaaa!

Story Island Holiday Programmes (8-10 Dec)

Today is the last day of the morning camp and here is Jamie receiving her "award" for being the best script memorising kid. I think she has enjoyed herself very much during the 3 days camp cos at the end of the last day, she requested to study at Story Island again (after 1/2yr break).

School Uniform

Finally settled her uniform this afternoon! *pardon me wif her crank, tired look as we went directly to the school after the chinese camp*

Maclaren Quest

Josh doesn't like the Lucky Baby Capella stroller (sold it off lately) & I managed to buy over this from a fren whose gal has outgrown. I think I've made a right choice... see how relaxed Josh was? This was his 1st time riding on it and b4 long, he had already dozed off!!

4 Mois @ Baby Sling

I have almost forgotten that I have this sling and before I can use it on longer period, its already sold to a mummy! Joshua seems to like it so I will have to get another sling from a fren who is using another one fot her gal.

Sold Bicycle

Glad that this bike was sold to a nice mummy for a norminal fee! Here was Jeremy doing his "last" ride on the bike. Anyway, he doesn't like pink and been pestering me to get him a blue one instead.

Bye, Bye! My Fav Wallet..

New Shoes

Jeremy outgrown shoes pretty fast. Still remembered the last time I got him a pair of shoes was when his feet no longer fit into his shoes which he wears to school earlier this year. Since its his birthday, that gives me an excuse to get him 1 new pair.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Cannot imagine 4 years ago, I'm already in hospital waiting to give birth. Jeremy is a special child to me. He recognised my voice right from birth! He was a little fragile and his heartbeat rate was rapid hence was in ICU for a day or so and couldn't swallow down milk. We were very concerned and prayed hard. Thank God he started to drink well after our 1st closed up visit to the neonatal care on the 2nd day. So he was off the drip and on the 4-5th day, we all went home together. Anyway, we didn't put up any grand party for him but decided to give him little surprises throughout the day. Here's the 1st 3 surprises so far.

Turning 4 Tomorrow....

Jeremy is recovering very well and thank God for giving me wisdom in bringing him to see a family doctor yday morning. His fever has already subsided since late last night after administering of antiobiotic to him. He is as per normal today and by tomorrow we should be able to celebrate his birthday as planned. Yea!

Kumon Puzzles

Managed to get good lobang for some very durable, thick easy to fix puzzles for the children. Particularly like the individual boxes to store the puzzles. Very organised. Hope to get all the transportation themes for Jeremy so as to create a deeper & keen interest in solving the puzzles.
