The Loooong Wait..........

This is one of the worst wait I've ever encountered! I've been eyeing (since last year) to get these Foogoo water bottle in replacement of those non BPA plastic bottles that Jamie & Jeremy are using. It's definitely worth waiting for ! Yea, so they will be using these straw stainless steel water bottles for peace of mind! RSP $41 each and I'm getting one for $28 !

Color Memory

Another right brain training tool that adds into the kids' homeschool curriculum. It's sooooooo good and I love it so much! Jeremy definitely needs lotsa drilling to boost his memory linking skills.

End of Term 1

It's another Term 1 round up and I've gotten back their school works. While browsing through individual work, I've noticed that Jamie is still maintaining her work well although her handwriting is messier than b4. As for Jeremy, I do not have high expectation on him since his motor skill is slower than his Jie-Jie. However, I am pleased to get compliments from his teachers that he pays attention well during lessons and he can focus when doing work. Check out here for few of his school works update!!

Baby Plus Prenatal Educational System

Got this 2nd set from a nice mummy quite some time ago and I finally hit 18weeks whereby I will be wearing this 2x daily till 32weeks ! She has testified that her daughter is more alert when born. Hmm, shall see how it comes when #3 arrives.

Eyes Training

Got few sets from a friend's supplier and started Jamie & Jeremy to train their photographic memory. These are categorized into 4 categories, namely Photo Memory, Color Differentiation, Space Memory and Instance Memory. These games will improve the child’s photographic memory and observation skills. I am very impressed wif such training and hopefully can source some suitable cartoons and DIY myself!

More IQ Games ???

Thank God that both Jamie & Jeremy are very into such brain teasers games and they normally do not fuss whenever we spend some time to play these together. We normally spend our evening time together either reading books or doing some right brain kits. Here Jamie is being challenged and its not easy to solve as each level progresses on. RULE : Put back the 4 puzzle pieces and make sure all boats are hidden except the ones visible on the challenge card. 48 different challenges!

Self Made Flash Cards

Just bought some blank 4x6" blank cards to DIY the multiplication time table for Jamie. I have not started her on time table while finding the best methods to ease her learning. Will be starting wif flash cards + music that reads out the summation while I flash, I'll also be using Kumon assessment book to boost her understanding on multiplication.

More Blogging ??

I've officially created 1 blog under Jeremy's name. Let's hope I am not overwhelmed wif updating their individual blog as well as this current blog :)

Buy 1 Get 1 FREE!!

Went to popular bookstore initially to get a box of laminating pouch and while I was queuing up to make payment, I saw these series of stickers books that attracted my attention! Its too good to believe that such books are going for 50% off!!

Mandarin Speech & Drama

I am just so glad to receive the letter from Jeremy's teacher about the Saturday enrichment at his school! While Jamie only started from Term 3 whereby this time, the school allows nursery kids to start from Term 2!! So the timing will be just nice since Jamie will be going for 9am swimming while Jeremy's lesson commences at 830am.

Flash Cards

I am seriously back into flash cards (especially encyclopedic knowledge topics) sessions wif the kids daily. And more reading of both English & Chinese books too! This is so after realising that Jamie is going to hit 6yo come end July and this would means that her left brain will take over right brain. So, alot of right brain stimulations activities will be jamming up for Jamie.

Meet the Teacher Session

Finally we will get to meet Jeremy's form teacher to discuss about his progress and development in school since the start of school in January. This time, papa will be coming along too! I am equally excited as I am looking forward to see his school works done during school time as well as updates from teacher.

Bye-Bye Bloatedness

I am now into my 16wks of pregnancy and I am feeling soooo much better without having to take small meals and feeling so bloated after that. Yippee! With this surge of energy that I've now, I'm very eager to prepare materials for #3 since I've 2 past teaching experiences wif Jamie & Jeremy. Just last week, I've downloaded tons of b/w newborn pixs and managed to get it printed out today! Gee, definitely much cheaper to DIY than get it outside. And I will be reselling all the laminated cards out once #3 has outgrown it.

Brought Jeremy for a trial session at Little Neuro Tree. Have never enrolled my kids to such right brain enrichments and I must say I'm so amazed but what the kids are learning within the short 1 hour!!! He will be going for anohter 2 more trials before deciding if we should let him complete the entire term or not. Anyway, he can only attend till before I give birth since I've to sit in wif him.

Learning Maths Through Play ??

Very surprised for the first time (since Jamie started studying in this school 2yrs ago) to be invited by their school for a free 2hrs workshop for parents!! No harm going right ?

Parent Volunteer Updates

After sending 2 emails to inform the school of my pregnancy, there's still no news so I quickly picked up the phone and dialled the number. Thank God I received their replies via phone call and an email today! So I will be assign for desk bound or indoor activities instead. Kudos to journey to complete my remaining 26hours!!

Primary Preparation ??

This has not really crossed my mind since I thought I'm drilling Jamie pretty well since she was 1+. We will do all sorts of brain teasers activities, ranging from IQ games to worksheets and reading etc etc. After reading this article, I realised that there's still some works yet to be drill on!! So, parents, do read on and find out where you are at before heading for herps of surprises next year! Enjoy!

On Fire!!

This shocked me when I looked up into the sky near my block! I quickly rang my fren and asked if her flat is on fire and thank God its not. But its surely one of the unit/flat nearby caught fire! Hope nobody is hurt.

Valentine's Gift

Did a very simple gift for CQ within a very short period of time when kids were not around. As years get by, our ways of celebrating such events have also "down scaled" to more practical and meaningful gifts/meals. And coincidently, we had our in laws and WJ at our place over for a dinner, hahahahaa!!

IQ Hoppers Game

Jamie likes to play wif this game so much so that she is approaching completion after 1 last game to go.... Ask me why? Well, she said she loves the frog!
