I Can Write

It's been quite sometime that Jamie hasn't been practising writing chinese words. Have been showing her how to write the correct strokes of words like sun, moon, man, water, stone, soil, fire etc. Today, we practised number 1-10.

ABC Adventure Fun!

So funny! Click here. You can customised yours too!

Theme : Clothings

It's always good to take a peek at Jamie's school notice board to find out what she's learning so that we as parents, can collaborate with the school to achieve optimal learning experience for the children.

Trimming

Wanted to give Jamie a good haircut myself but too bad, I'm not up to it. Hmm, she will looks gorgeous come next Sunday on her birthday!

My First Teaching Experience

Levine & her family are out holidaying in Japan since early this week and so I'm standing in for her K2 class. This is my 1st teaching in an enrichment center. Class size is small. 6 kids. But they are already a handful for me to handle! As I have been teaching Jamie since she's around 1, teaching is quite a breeze for me. May need to teach again next Sat if Levine can't come back on time.

Garang King

Whose feet?? Jeremy you bet! This boy ah.... used this walking stilt as a "stepping stone" in order to reach to his favourite remote control car.

Racial Harmony Day

Find this school very amazing, every now and then will get such "love letters" from teacher. I call it love letters cos it always surprises me with something new, whahahaa!! Or perhaps I'm being suaku?

This is our mischevious, cheeky & active Jamie!! She's wearing a korean dress to school today.

Socks Hand Puppets

Jamie brought home these 2 cute little hand puppets from school today. Isn't it cute?

Counting down

Time passed. Jamie's turning 4 on 29th this month which is next Sunday. Wow....4years !! I really cannot imagine our girl is going to be 4yrs old ! It's like she's just turned 2,3 and now 4! This year will be special for her as she will be celebrating with her classmates & teachers in school! And I'm going to be busy preparing materials and gifts so that we can start packing tmr during the 1 hr art & craft session at home!

Jeremy "New" Tricycle

Jeremy likes to sit and "ride" on Jamie's bicycle so I decided to get him a preowned tricycle instead. Looks cool rite? $15 only le!!!

Where Is It????

This is what we will ask Jamie whenever she misplaces something. What puzzle me is, she has very short memory for such senario but her memory is tok-gong (a.k.a excellent) in remembering events, flash cards and sometimes brain teaser games. One minute seeing her playing with it and the next moment, its gone!

*Right Pix : 2 missing knobs remain missing after 1hr of ransack

Solitary Play

Found him sat quietly engaging with his favourite toys while Jamie & I were in papa's room. He sat there for at least 5mins,very cute!

Nutrition Immunology

Just when Jamie is recovering from cough & common cold, the bugs now on Jeremy & myself! Jeremy started to have onset of high fever on Friday evening and I quickly started him on E.Excel Millennium. Surprisingly his fever subsided after 1 day (which usually will linger for at least 3-5 days) and his appetite came back today!! I am totally amazed on how this juice able to help to boost his immune system to fight the virus vs the intevention of medicine. As of today, I can say that he is 95% on the road to recovery, no runny nose except occasion coughing.

It Works!!

I have been thinking of curbing Jamie's dilly dally attitude in school as well as at home. Since she has been pestering us to bring her back to Clubmed (actually she likes to play in the resort's room), so I told her that we will bring her for another holiday if she tries to speed up doing homework. I'm pleased with the results. Her phonics teacher just told me that she has improved in finishing up her work fast. And her handwritting has improved too!

Scooping

Have been stepping down doing these with kids for quite some time. Now I'm doing more brain teaser games & back to chinese flash cards with Jamie. While for Jeremy, very much the same, flash cards & this kind of gross motor skills exercises.

The Results

Received the letter from KKH much earlier this time round. As expected, Jeremy din get into the final but that's fine afterall its just for fun.

Dental Visits

The kids went to their dental appointment at Smiles Inc @ Forum this morning. Good thing I brought them down for a thorough assessment as I found out that I need to ensure Jeremy's teeth are being brush well daily as his teeth are so tightly grown next to one another which he has a higher chance of getting tooth decay. As for Jamie, nothing new except that she needs to brush harder for her back teeth. And I also get to visit to the dentist opposite our block for a good scaling! Oh ya Jeremy's consultation is free hor!! Yea thank God!

First Completed Scrapbook

Finally completed my first scrapbook just in time to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Compiling the photos is the toughest job.

Best Breastfed Baby Semi @ IMM

Brought Jeremy for the assessment this morning at 930am. Good thing we only waited for about 20mins. Assessment was short. However this time, can tell that they are trying to find out more on Jeremy, what he can do. Will be receiving letter w/i 2weeks from now....

"He has made everything beautiful in His time." Ecclesiaste 3:11

___________________________________________________________ This was the verse we took for our wedding and I want to thank God for CQ for being such a loving, thoughtful hubby who always work his best for this family. Thanks for the beautiful Destinee diamond pendant that you have lavishly spent on me! It's really great to be back to the place where we first came together. I pray that we will have many more such moments to share together.

Happy Birthday Papa!

As usual, we celebrated CQ's birthday and I made Jamie to pass the lovely sunflower to her papa. Being a child who doesn't know how to keep secret, obviously this birthday surprise no longer a surprise to him, lol!!!

Brain Teaser Game

Bought this from popular bookstore and tried it with Jamie. Not easy for her. Needs very good logical skills to master such game. But I like it!

19th Mois

Big boy liao. Jeremy is such a blessing to our family. He is adorable, smart & chatty and he likes to copy whatever Jamie does. Can be quite scary though... imagine he stood on our sofa and said "Jump!" !

Sensory

Looks easy for an adult but can be quite challenging for Jamie. Good for balancing.

School holiday's homework...

Our Darling Jamie

My First Digital Scrapbooking

This hobby has been put on hold for way too long (more than 2yrs!!) . So I finally kick start the digital scrapbook! And I'm also going to start the real physical scrapbook this week...hopefully.

Contribution of Tissue??

This is the most ridiculous letter I ever received from Jamie's school. Thought we pay for the school fees mah. On 2nd thought, I wonder if I need to contribute toilet papers or rice too? Wahahhahaa..

Photographic Memory Kit

More to stimulate of her right brain before left brain taking over....

Visitation (22nd June)

Peiling is my long time poly fren that I treasure her friendship alot. She's soft spoken and gentle. So unlike me, whahahaaaa!!! SQ has inherited her genes too. SOOOO cute little gal! Thanks for the friendship my pal, muacks!

Colors Recognition/Grouping

Jeremy can recognise few of the colors and so I started to teach him to sort it into groups.

Motor Skills

Here Jeremy is learning to use his fingers to pick up things. Now he can focus longer and able to copy what I want him to do.

Back to School

Now that school finally re-opens, I have mixed feeling. Glad that Jamie finally can see her teachers and friends but I'm also grown tired of her bringing virus back home once every 1-2months. Just hope that her immune system is much stronger now after 1/2yr in school.

Bye Bye Elmo

See what Jeremy has done to his long time fav toy?? Elmo used to greet him whenever he visits the loo. Jeremy will also says "Elmo" everytime he sits on the toilet bowl. Wonder how it was spoilt? Well, Jeremy dropped it into the pail lor!

Tying Shoe Laces

I always have this impression that Jamie may not be able to grasp the idea of how to tie a shoe (though I did demo to her when she was barely 3) lace till she pestered me to get this when we were in a toy shop. Knowing that this exercise will improve her fine motor skills, I agreed to buy it. After showing her twice, she surprised me with the completed job done by herself! Wah..... this means that soon she can try on shoes with laces!!!

Shapes & Patterns

Found some time to dig out some of my teaching materials and this afternoon, Jamie was taught about the geometric shapes and its name like what is a sphere, cube, square based pyramic, triangle based pyramic, rectangular prism, cyclinder, cone etc. And here's she was doing some revision on simple patterns.
