New Mini Mouse

Jamie finally got herself a mini sized mouse to navigate whenever she's on the laptop! Not easy for her age to co-ordinate using her index & middle fingers but at least she is trying :)

Numbers Sequence

Never did I realised that such exercise is tough for her. As I thought if the child knows how to count, she should be able to know what's come next or before, right? But I was wrong. It took her quite some time to understand the concept. Every challenge that I face with Jamie is also a good lesson for me to learn! Afterall, we are laying firm foundation during their first 6 formative years.

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.
