Mental Arithmetic Advanced Level

Jamie is now into advanced stage wif over 95% accuracy. On average, she can complete 40 sums, 3 single digit additions/subtraction in about 2mins+. I was told there's still many levels to accomplish but it will be according to whichever books she has completed. And apparently, she still left few more books b4 proceeding to multiplication and division. I think its pretty fast since she started abacus in June 1st this year.

Before School

These days I managed to grab the boy and did some work wif him. Formally started him phonics. Dunno if its "too late" but anyway, he is in "ready-mode" now so I think its the right time to coach him. And since he is back at Little Neuro Tree, there will be some homework for him to do at home as well.

2 Months 18Days

Joshua is growing bigger each day and Jeremy's love for his lil brother grows wif each day too!!

Back to Ballet

Dr Chew called me earlier this week to answer my query regarding "no strenous activities" that was stated on the excuse letter that we received lately. At the end of our conversation, he concluded that as long as Jamie does not engage in any competitive sports, that's fine. Casual, fun sports that dun last long is fine. Ballet? I asked. After telling him what she will be doing in a typical 45mins long ballet lesson, he gave me a green light!! I'm just as glad cos this would means that Jamie will be joining the group for RAD exam next year April!

Ballet RAD Grade 1 Exam 2010

Jamie might not be able to go for the exam in view that she has to continue Aspirin treatment for the next 2 more months till late December. I've wrote in to the dance school to see if she can be allowed to continue the coaching lessons after she completes the medication.

Right Brain Training

Joshua was exceptionally alert today and since he din sleep, I quickly set up the swim tub and there he goes! This time, he was in the tub for longer period as he seemed to be enjoying kicking and floating (its only his 2nd time and he already very seasoned "swimmer"). And I've added the b/w flash card as part of the training session for him!

2 Months 8 Days Old

Joshua some how looks mature for his age.

Nikitin, Tangram, IQ Genius

While Jamie is having her mental arithmetic lesson now, I quickly grabbed Jeremy, sat him down and he did these instead of wasting his time away.

New Position ?

Since yesterday, Joshua has started to turn sideway while sleeping. 1st physical milestone!!

Joshua 1st Swimming Experience

Bought this lately and surprisingly Joshua didn't cry or whine. After that, Jamie & Jeremy both had a wonderful time of fun in the swim tub too!!

Goo-Goo-Ga-Ga

This was taken just minutes before he began to feel sleepy and hungry. I like his smiley chubby face. And today is Josh's 2nd month old. Time flies...

Your Baby Can Swim

Am exploring a home baby swimming tub for Joshua after reading up about the numerous benefits. Anybody wanna sponsor me??

Jeremy, the Super Model ??

Our cheeky, mischevious Jeremy is featured at Singapore's Child this month. Apparently a friend smsed me few weeks ago asking if I want Jeremy to appear on the front cover, representing Little Neuro Tree. As it's a rare chance + free studio photos taking for him, I accepted the offer almost instantly! Overall, it was very fun and definitely was a good exposure for him. He was so elated when he saw himself appearing on the magazine & had the magazine on his bed at bedtime, hahahahha!
