Sensory

Looks easy for an adult but can be quite challenging for Jamie. Good for balancing.

School holiday's homework...

Our Darling Jamie

My First Digital Scrapbooking

This hobby has been put on hold for way too long (more than 2yrs!!) . So I finally kick start the digital scrapbook! And I'm also going to start the real physical scrapbook this week...hopefully.

Contribution of Tissue??

This is the most ridiculous letter I ever received from Jamie's school. Thought we pay for the school fees mah. On 2nd thought, I wonder if I need to contribute toilet papers or rice too? Wahahhahaa..

Photographic Memory Kit

More to stimulate of her right brain before left brain taking over....

Visitation (22nd June)

Peiling is my long time poly fren that I treasure her friendship alot. She's soft spoken and gentle. So unlike me, whahahaaaa!!! SQ has inherited her genes too. SOOOO cute little gal! Thanks for the friendship my pal, muacks!

Colors Recognition/Grouping

Jeremy can recognise few of the colors and so I started to teach him to sort it into groups.

Motor Skills

Here Jeremy is learning to use his fingers to pick up things. Now he can focus longer and able to copy what I want him to do.

Back to School

Now that school finally re-opens, I have mixed feeling. Glad that Jamie finally can see her teachers and friends but I'm also grown tired of her bringing virus back home once every 1-2months. Just hope that her immune system is much stronger now after 1/2yr in school.

Bye Bye Elmo

See what Jeremy has done to his long time fav toy?? Elmo used to greet him whenever he visits the loo. Jeremy will also says "Elmo" everytime he sits on the toilet bowl. Wonder how it was spoilt? Well, Jeremy dropped it into the pail lor!

Tying Shoe Laces

I always have this impression that Jamie may not be able to grasp the idea of how to tie a shoe (though I did demo to her when she was barely 3) lace till she pestered me to get this when we were in a toy shop. Knowing that this exercise will improve her fine motor skills, I agreed to buy it. After showing her twice, she surprised me with the completed job done by herself! Wah..... this means that soon she can try on shoes with laces!!!

Shapes & Patterns

Found some time to dig out some of my teaching materials and this afternoon, Jamie was taught about the geometric shapes and its name like what is a sphere, cube, square based pyramic, triangle based pyramic, rectangular prism, cyclinder, cone etc. And here's she was doing some revision on simple patterns.

English Speech & Drama Camp

The Performance

Jamie was in the camp since 18-22 June, from 2-5pm daily. She's one of the youngest kid. Judging from the materials and the performance the kids did on the last day, I supposed she indeed has learnt something out of it.

Jamie w You Jie

It's About Time

Jeremy finally hits 18months old on 2nd June this month and this also means that he is ready for some of the practical life sensory skills exercises that I will be lining up for him. Now apart from reading flash cards to him (either from cards, books or TV), I will excercise his teeny weeny fingers' muscles with the use of knobbed puzzles, picking up peanuts/beans or playdough. Soon he will be like his Jie Jie, working on activities books as well as computer. Wow time flies, Jeremy has grown up!!

Congratulations!!

Received the KK Juniors Club letter yesterday evening. What ?? Jeremy has been selected as one fo the semi-finalists for Best Breastfed Baby Contest 2007 ? What a surprise!!! It will be held at IMM Shopping Mall, Level 2, Atrium, 7 July 2007. Let's hope for the best then.

Campaign Against Dengue

The number of homes found breeding with the deadly Aedes mosquito is on the rise. In February, 140 homes were found breeding. This increased to 258 in March and again to 454 in April. The figures represent a three-fold increase in two months, a worrying trend that needs to be curbed immediately. Another worrying trend is the increase in the number of larvae observed. In February, NEA officers found over 4,600 larvae. This increased to 10,500 in March and again to 15,200 in April. This is more than three-fold increase in two months similar to the number of breedings found. Coupled with the increased mosquito population and a longer infective period for each female mosquito owing to the impact of warmer temperature, this increase in breedings can only point to one outcome if not arrested: more dengue cases. (extracted from here)

Jeremy's 2nd Haircut

His first haircut was when he was around 1yr old when he was so much easier to handle while the hairdresser trimmed his hair. Now, at 18.5mths, he moved alot and cannot sit still and needs alot of distractions throughout the session! When we were greetd by the hairdresser, she simply called Jeremy, girl girl. lol!!!

Saliva Sample

After the eye screening, the staff asked me if its ok to collect some of Jamie's saliva for further research on refractive error. Of course can la! See ...soooo hilarious seeing her trying to spit into the tiny container!
