Using Straw

Found this water bottle that once belonged to Jamie and I tried it on Jeremy. Surprisingly, he managed to drink from it only after one time drinking Yakult using the super thin straw! Kudos to Yakult!

Ikea Mala Easel Board

Went to IKEA this evening and saw this easel stand's price slashed further again! So I asked Chunquan to get it for the kids. I also bought the Mala's chalk & an extra roll of paper for drawing as well as for homeschooling purposes. Definitely a very good investment

Zoo Phonics Term 1 Assessment

Tonight Jamie was assessed by her teacher. I was peeking at her throughout the assessment. Overall, I think she is doing well. Here's what her teacher has to say... "Jamie has shown great sound and signal however, Jamie needs lots of support to sound out (basically she was asked to sound and do the various animals' signals pertaining to each sound. For this, I am the least concern if she doesn't do the signals. What I hope to see is she is phonemically aware) but she tries her best. Great work! "

Natural Purifier

I'm selling away my existing purifier for a better alternative. A friend of mine who is selling the natural salt crystal for more than a year at her online store, is giving me a very good offer! Hmm......wait till I clear off my current purifier hor.

Chinese Laptop

I personally love this set for its clarify in pronouncing chinese words. This set comes with alot of cards and some even have bilingual option! Look how engrossed he is ?

Fine Motor Skills

I used to search high and low just for a suitable plastic tweezer to let Jamie practise. Now I finally got 2 from another educational tool that I bought ! So I try it out on Jamie and obviously its a piece of cake for her! Now, I'm waiting for Jeremy to reach at least 2yrs old before he can practise it.

Bug's Life

Chunquan caught a small insect and instead of putting it into a plastic cup, I used this. Jamie has fun looking at its body's part in an enlarged form! Coincidently we are learning about parts of the flying insect and this just comes in handy!

I am slowing down in giving Jamie homework but instead, do these with her. Good to train her mind. :D

A Trip to the Farmart

Took the kids to the Farmart this morning. Good weather except no wind. The kids enjoyed the most while feeding the mountain goats! I'm very amazed that both of them went very close to feed the mountain goats without any fear. And they also had a close encounter feeding the rabbits, hamsters, tortoises, frogs & fishes. I'm glad I brought them there to remind them about God's beautiful creation.

Red + Yellow = ?

While Jamie is having her nap, I quickly get Jeremy to touch base with some paint before he goes for his nap too. This is his 2nd time trying out and he is not as frighten as compared to the first time.

Busy with my hands

I have planned to bring kids out to the library but it didn't happen as Jeremy slept for a straight 3hrs nap till 1230pm! By then, Jamie already yawning away. So , we did some art & craft instead.

Jamie has been pestering me to bring her for a swim since months back. So, here we are at the Country Club in the evening just walking distance behind our house. Both kids are so happy playing with the water.
