Reciting the Lyrics

(click on pix)

Today Jamie had a full 2hours rehearsal before the actual performance in about 10days time. I was shocked when I read the lyrics....oh my! Its so challenging for a 5yo child! Not to mention memorising it..

1st Birthday Celebration in School

Today is Jeremy 1st birthday celebration at his school. I've put in alot of effort in it and hopefully will leave him some good memory since he will very unlikely to be able to celebrate in all his future schools since his birthday falls in December.

Christmas Tree

Tonight just b4 bedtime, we finally put up the Christmas tree BUT w/o the ornaments, hahaha!

Birthday Celebration In School

Today we will be celebrating Jeremy's birthday 4 days in advance at his school. He is so excited to see the blown up Thomas Train foil balloon, those goody bags and the train whistle! Probably will bring them to IMM to watch the Barney Live Show at either 1 or 4pm if they do not want to nap later.

Do-Do & Mi-Mi

This is Jamie's creativity work of her fav soft toy she brougth to the camp. Isn't it cute? At the end of the 3 days Santa Holiday Camp, 3 kids were awarded "Best Creativity" award and Jamie was one of them!! What a great surprise indeed!

Tweedle Wink Program

Jeremy is now on Tweedle Wink after he has outgrown the Wink to Learn program. He simply loves to watch flash cards, be it via TV, computer or I flash to him manually. So I continue till one day he doesn't want it anymore. Whereas Jamie doesn't really like it at her age now although I believe Tweedle Wink will benefit her as well. Shall let her watch it and see her reaction later.

Free Design Sandart (Backlog)

Gave her some sandart & Uhu stick and this is what she reproduced !

School Holiday Programmes @ Home???

I've been battling wif this issue if I should organise one next month? Reason for hesitating is becos I've been busy daily wif many things, big and small, errands and impromptu assignments. Wif the fact that I've to juggle both kids wif fun activities to occupy them when they are at home, I am also planning for outdoor activities & excursions as well as teaching them things that I would like them to learn.

Story Island Christmas Holiday Camp

Jamie will be attending the camp starting today to Thurs, 27 Nov every morning 930am-130pm. Hope she will enjoy the 3 days wif her new frens. Most importantly, she will benefit from the camp. Am looking forward to see her group performance at the end of the camp.

Aqua Beads @ Home

She is so thrilled by this art & craft work I've prepared for her this morning. I told myself, sometimes its also good that we buy some off the racks handicraft kits and let our children enjoy at home, comfortably without stepping out of the house, wahahahaa!

Pre-Nursery School Photo

This is our boy.... just a year ago, he was just soooooo baby and now in a flash of light, he is soon going to graduate from pre-nursery in about 3 weeks time! I am so glad he has grown healthily, smart & adorable in his own ways.

e-Learning

It's been quite a while Jamie has not been revising her HYPY. Here you go, she has abt 15mins of elearning by her own. Big girl liao, can do most of the things by herself, including bathing ! Ya, she insisted she wants to bathe herself, tie hair (though super messy and untidy, whahahha!), choose her own clothing etc etc.

Little Boy @ Work

While Jamie was having her lunch SLOWLY, I grabbed the boy to our bedroom and did this activity wif him. After months of drilling his motor skills in a Montessori school and at home, Jeremy should be "on par" wif his peers by now. He is doing good, able to recognise colors, shapes, counting in bilingual, initial sound phonics & some right brain training at home.

Simple Artwork @ Home

While Jeremy's in school, I quickly opened up this box of art & craft handiworks for Jamie to get down busy wif it for the next 1/2hour before di-di comes home. No wonder, its stressful to see kids idling at home during school holiday. Every now and then, I will have to plan some works & activities to keep the kids occupy so as t0 to make full use of this school holiday.

No More Training Pants

I finally made a decision to stop letting Jeremy puts on disposable training pants at night the moment papa was out on business trip. And this boy indeed has been putting me on my biggest smile every morning. Yea! You did it, son!

Welcome home !

I din blog this as I dun want the "whole world" to know that our "pillar" is out of town on business trip since last Friday. Papa is finally back home wif us!! No more freedom?? Nah.. its more bonding wif us instead ya. Look at Jamie's expression when she saw the gift from papa? Hahaha.... those cars?? Ya for Jeremy. But will only give it to him batch by batch when he is well behave.

Impromptu Handicraft Workshop

I signed Jamie up on impulse. Since the CC is so near to our house now and its only $15 for 2hours of art & craft. After the lesson, I asked her how she felt? Surprisingly, she said she wanted to go again!! Btw, there's only 4 children. 2 are upper primary kid and 1 gal, same age as Jamie.

Bookfest

A fren jio-ed me so we went there this morning. No big crowd. Perhaps recession or its during office hours? Anyway, I dun hv the luxury to browse thru' everything wi the short 2hrs+ wif the kids ard me. But still, managed to grab some good lobangs :)

Free Drawing wif Oil Pastels

This shall be our new activity corner at our new place. Cool!

New IQ Game

I bought 2 brain teaser games last week for Jamie since its so cheap + nowadays Jamie loves to work around wif such IQ by herself. I am happy to see her going into another level of her learning curve. So sometimes, I will bring it along wif me when I bring her out alone.
