Year of Tiger

Expecting more ang baos since I've 3 kids??? Hahhaa.... shall see how. Meanwhile, have a blessed lunar new year !! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Hands-On Sight Words

DIY some cards for Jeremy. Been quite stacken lately but I'm coming back!!

Fisher Price Jumperoo

After battling whether to get a preowned set or go ahead w 1 mth's rental, I've decided to rent instead. And the funny thing is, he doesn't like the music/sound at all and will cry shortly less than 5mins playing in it.

6 Months 7Days

After whrestling for quite a while, I've decided to start Josh on cereal. He is taking it well so far. Hmm, soon the start of puree and semi solid food....

Cheers!

See how happy CQ's mother ? I suppose this shows how much joy Joshua brings to them.... anyway, he is such a loveable, big eyes baby that melts people's heart.

HYPY Test

Jamie took home her 1st test paper from school. Am very pleased wif her results although I think she should score full marks. Was penalised for "cao" (grass) as she wrote "chao" instead. Sayang!

6 Months Checkup & Immunisation

Joshua now weighs at 8.4kg, 68.5cm tall and his head is the biggest among our 3 children, 46cm! And today he had 2 jabs...the usual 5-in-1 and the pneumoccocal 2nd jab. Ouch!!

Mind Mapping ??

This chance upon me when I was browsing through some books from a mini book fair at Jamie's school yesterday. I am rather ignorant about mind mapping and didn't daunt on me that this may be a gateway to be successful in composition writing! Now I'm exploring the possibility of me attending a mind mapping workshop so that I can better understand the magic of using this to coach my children in their composition writing.

Little Miracle

I've never imagine that Jeremy can do mental arithematic at the age of 4. Afterall Jamie only started it when she was almost 6yo. You see, this is one of the good thing being the "lau-er" or even "lau-san" ie, they just zoom straight into the "correct path" whatever their older sibling had gone through the rough way. So time is not wasted in the sense. Just now I was revising abacus wif him and tested him 3 single digit addition-subtraction sums. Eg 1+3+5 or 2+2-1. And he surprised me !! Well done !!

Jamie & Cheshire

I'm surprised that Jamie is just a little bit shorter than her 9yo cousin! Both of them had a lot of fun playing together while we had our reunion dinner in the kitchen.

Going to School

There are days when Joshua doesn't nap when I'm about to send Jamie to school. So today, he came along wif us and Jamie was very happy whenever her baby brother came along!

Super HOT

Weather has been escalating nowadays and its so humid even when sun's down. Joshua loves waterplay so much more these days.

Classmates

So relieved to see that Jamie is happily settling down in her new school despite her form teacher going on long leave (till end March) shortly after end of 1st week. Thanks to Chiku Christina (relief teacher) who made extra effort in making sure the children get to know one another, settling down fast and even took few pictures of the class. Now Jamie no longer so reserved and quiet as compared when she first started school.

10th Wedding Anniversary

Wah we are into our 10th wedding anniversary !! 10years ago, both of us were busy preparing our wedding at Chijmes and now we are already parents of 3 kiddos! No candle light dinner except Crystal Jade lunch wif bb Joshua in tow and supper at Bakerzin after Josh went to bed. I gave him a Thermos mug and a pair of crocs shoes while he paid for a pair of Lee Cooper sneakers for me.

First Shoes

This shall be Josh's 1st pair of walking shoes he is going to wear during coming CNY. It fits him nicely indeed! Thanks to my friend, BL for the little gift!

Bento #12

Simply no time to snap photos of my bentos lately... And here's another snack for Jamie to munch during her recess.

The Pianist

Thanks to Levine for the long awaiting toy.....

PS : Jamie told me that she wants to learn piano after playing wif this toy, whahahhaa!!

Our Next Generation

These kids really keep me busy 24/7 !!

Homeschool

Joshua is still receiving his daily b/w flash cards sessions at least twice a day. He loves staring at it especially those complicated pictures wif red colors.

Hair Cut

Initially I thought the hairdresser was not out to be a hairdresser when she didn't even know exactly what style I wanted her to trim for Jeremy! However, after careful, detailed instructions given to her, the turnout was just as GREAT!! And Jeremy, for the first time, has a boy-boy haircut!! Hahhaaaa!!!
