Happy Easter !

Jamie took back an easter egg from school in a nicely decorated party cup and was determined to peel and have it eaten!

Odd~Even Numbers

Jamie has improved alot in her reading. She can read most of the words and look at her coloring skills? I am impressed!

Mighty Saver #1

Jamie finally completed her 1st card (she was rewarded 1 star sticker for not fussing over washing hair)! So I brought along $20 (supposingly her own savings) to bank into her account and to redeem the free gift which is a big A4 book! Also collected the #2 card. Hmm, I shall start the #2 with another target for her to achieve :D

Soil Please

The cactus needs more soil to grow......

Surprise!

** shocking candles!!! hey not that I'm that old ok...just that the cake is small, lol! **

Bookfair

Today there's a mini bookfair at the Community Club and while Jamie was attending her ballet lesson, I managed to have a quick shopping spree and here's what I got! *I went back the 2nd round with Jeremy and this time, our maid even got some for her son, lol!!!*

A Day @ Home

While CQ was busy buzzing in his work room, we had alot of fun in the living hall. We played drum, fixed up a playhouse to hide n seek, did some hands-on playdough and Jamie did her usual cooking stuff. These already occupied the kids the entire morning before Jamie proceed to her ballet lesson at 2pm.

April's Fool Birthday

Ya that's my birthday. Strange thing is, I dun have the "birthday girl" mood and everything still goes on as normal. I told CQ not to stress over giving me any birthday surprises since he is already very tied up with work as well as preparation for his exam this coming week. We can alway celebrate after his exam anyway. So I made Jamie sang me a birthday song and she drew me this card for me! So sweet!

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 :)

Liferacer Thermal Swimsuit

Went to Liferacer Sportswear office at Toh Guan East to pick up supposingly Jeremy's thermal swimsuit as well as mine (yippee I finally have a proper swimwear) BUT looks like for now, it fits Jamie better, wahahahaa!!

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.

Starter Stile for Mathematics

Bought this from September21 to give Jamie an easy & early headstart on foundamental mathematics concept. Now she has another tools to learn Maths the fun way. It comes with total 9 books, 3 categories namely, numbers, shape and calculations.

Mister Egg

We completed this before her afternoon nap. I love Jamie's smile !

Creative Art

We did this together. There'll be more of such creative painting.

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.
