Jamie First School Outing!!

Jamie was telling me that she will be going to the Jurong Birdpark with school . I was a little doubtful, so, I searched her uniform for the notice. Yes there's one in her pocket and indeed she's right!! Next Friday, 27 April, from 830am to 230pm. Hurray !!! This will be her 1st visit though. .

I am learning to read

At 16.5months old now, Jeremy's attention span has stretch a little more. Now, whenever I take out the books and ask him to sit down, he will listen and follow.

Best Breastfed Baby Contest 2007

Found this contest organised by KKH from a local forum and decided to give it a try for Jeremy afterall he was breastfed for 56weeks. Still a long way to go before the closing date.........

Young Parents Color & Win Contest

I have never participate in any contest for and on behalf of Jamie which I should have since it doesn't cost me much. With a little help from me, she finally completed it!

Flag Raising

I'm totally surprised when I saw the flag raising ceremony during the combined session before Jamie's Term 1 (8th March) break. Those kids on the left are Nursery kids. See Jamie at the back (pony tail) ?

Boring Saturday

Dunno why I was still feeling so bored & restless though we had a swim in the morning at the country club, went to Civil Service Club for a walk in the afternoon and while the kids were having their afternoon nap, CQ and I managed to steal some private time window shopping at Jurong Point. ** Pixs taken at night before bedtime

Distance, Time & Money?

I might withdraw Jamie out from Zoo Phonics and enrol her into a Montessori Phonics enrichment class at the nearby country club behind our house so that we need not have to rush to class every Friday night via cab. Another plus point is that while waiting for Jamie, Jeremy and I can have a quick dip in the pool or I can workout at the gym. Isn't it great ?

Revision

Call me kiasu... juz to make sure she hasn't forgotten her work.

Upgrading

I'm in the mist of clearing Jeremy's baby toys including his miniature toy cars. And these are the new Hot Wheels & Matchbox cars that I've bought at very good price for the children. They are just as excited as me!

Let's Drink Together

Nowadays Jeremy lies down on his own to drink milk. See both of them? So cute!

Preschool Ballet Performance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After lesson, I asked her, "Jamie, why are there empty chairs? She replied "Ms Fu said we are going to perform for somebody (?? not parents? ) ." Then I asked again, " When will it be?" (here's the fun part).."2 years later." (me laughing like crazy liao !wahahaa!!!!)

Quick Snap b4 Ballet Lesson

These days..

I have been using all sorts of teaching materials I can find and think of for Jamie since I've reduced using activities books. Don't understand why she likes to draw balloons with a horizontal line across. Looks funny!

Seasonal Weather

Sunny, hot, humid, thunder, lightning & RAIN! What a day and spoilt my outdoor activity for the children, arrggghhhh!!!

Good Friday

Few days ago, I have been telling Jamie what's the meaning of Good Friday though I reckon she understands it fully. One of the things I said to her was, "Jesus died on the cross for us so that we will have eternal life in heaven" . Then she looked at me & said "But mama, I will cry if mama dies & I can't find mama." In that split seconds, I was so sad and I replied "But Jamie, you will see mama in heaven when you die eventually. Isn't it great? Do you want to know God ?" she nodded. I'm beginning to enjoy such moments wif her and having some deep thoughts conversations.

Easter Day Homework

Jamie was given home assignment from her school. The note says "We are learning about colors right now. Please help me to make a colorful egg shape card....I need to bring this back to schoold on Monday, 9 April. Thank You."

Reading Session

When Jeremy was much younger, all he could do was taking and throwing the board books out of the box! Now, I am so relieved to see him appreciating books much better.

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
