#4 Bento

Hope Jamie is pleased to see this during recess later.

First Bento Dinner

Not bad for 1st timer??

Jamie's First Bento for Recess

Didn't want Jamie to eat in school everyday hence I've started looking into getting nice bento boxes, moulds, silicon/plastic cups, mini forks & spoons and cutters etc so that I can whip up an interesting yet delicious afternoon snacks meals for her. And I told her that she will bring my bento to school on every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays while she will have pocket money to buy food herself on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Today I did a quickie cheese egg omelette wif marcoroni and finish up wif an onion cheese sausage. Guess what? The lunchbox was empty when she came home!! Yummy!

Time Management

Ever since Jamie starts P1 in the afternoon, as expected, indeed I do have more time for Jeremy which I will have more time alone wif him. Today, we were playing this "rush hour" IQ game. Cannot imagine, he is beginning to pick up more of such games from Jamie and can play on his own liao.

Start of School

Today marked the start of Jamie's primary school life for the next 6years. I am glad that I'm around for her during this important phrase of her milestone.

Getting Ready..... On the way....Reached!!

Settling down... National Anthem & Pledge

Proceeding to respective classrooms...

Going to buy food ... enjoying her snacks.

Photo taking after recess.

Jeremy & Joshua

Jeremy loves his little brother a whole lot more than anybody at home. He loves to kiss, hug and pat Josh every now and then.

School Holiday Work

Finally its completed !

2010 Portfolio

Finally did this for Jeremy's K1 portfolio just in time to submit to his form teacher next Monday.

Happy New Year 2010

Guess who did CQ and I counted down to welcome the new year?? It's Joshua!! Whahahaa.... I was feeding him while counting down lol! My new year resolution? I would like to press on to complete IDT at our church and to apply Proverbs 22:6 for our children. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Snow City Excursion

This was one of my planned excursion for the children for this last week of school holiday. They were extraordinary excited and thrilled indeed!! In fact, I think Jamie loved this the best cos she got to play 3 more times sliding down the snow slope wif her papa after we all did once! I was in awe as she was extremely brave indeed! (I was too cold to try another round hence was waiting wif Jeremy at the foot of the slope while Jeremy was busy playing wif his color coloring hotwheels car)

Jamie's Abacus Progress

This is the current no. of books that the teacher is coaching Jamie. Seems overwhelming huh? Freak not, she is doing fine. Today she has started multiplication and she also started addition of 10 single numbers. Can you add 1 to 10 correctly within seconds ?? One thing for sure, I can't.

Zoo Excursion

Today is one of the BEST weather we ever had for our Zoo outing! Everything went on smoothly and Jamie Jeremy had enjoyed themselves alot especially at the newly renovated Kidz World. It's our 1st re-visit after it was refurbished lately.

Jeremy's Nursery Progress Report

Should blog this much earlier. He was obviously weaker in his fine & gross motor skills but has since improved now.

Training Mug

Didn't want to let him drink from mug so soon but I thought its good to try new things and Joshua is ever so ready whenever I introduce new stuff to him!!

Reading Session

Jamie loves to read. And she loves to to read to her 2 little brothers. Today, I found her reading some books to Joshua although he is not as attentive as Jeremy, but her effort is commendable.

Writing Skills

This was his attempt in writing numbers months back in school. Now he can control the pencil better hence I'm not as worry as before.

One thing I am impressed is Jeremy's coloring skill!! Think most 4yo boys will have some degree of difficulty wif coloring.

Boxing Day

It was indeed a LONG wait for Jamie & Jeremy as they can't wait to open up all the presents under the christmas tree!!! Thank God for His provision that the children can still receive nice presents year after year.

Joshua 1st Christmas

This is his 1st Christmas.

My 13mth Bonus!!

Tada!! Thanks papa!

Blessed Christmas

This year is very much "quiet" indeed!! Cos we didn't have our usual Christmas party at home as my parents were in Malaysia during this season wif my sister and her family. Nevertheless, it's also good for me since part of my time is wif Josh now. But we had an impromptu dinner at our place wif CQ's family and the kids had lotsa fun playing wif their cousins too. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Visitation

We finally had a short gathering wif Levine & her son, Ivan!! It's not easy for both of us to meetup as we dun stay near each other. Though its a short 1hr+ gathering, we had a good time together. And as usual, learnt some magic tricks from her lor!

Josh w Aunty Levine

MV Doulos @ Vivo City

This evening we went to Vivo City to meet papa after his work ended. It was meant to be a night of "presents" hunting for Jamie & Jeremy but we ended up visited Doulos while waiting for papa. Jeremy was very happy and had been pestering me to bring him to a real ship days ago and finally this lil boy has his wish come true!!

Semi Solid Food

I took Josh's pediatrician's advise (early intro' suppose to reduce bb allergy) and started him on some puree today. Surprisingly he is SUPER ready for it!! And yelled when we din feed him fast enough! But I don't intend to feed him daily though.. afterall he is only 4mths+. To me, its a lil too soon to start weaning him. Will probably do it once or twice a week and then rest for another week or so b4 start him again.

Counting Down

Finally received the school's letter regarding Jamie's class allocation as well as things to bring along on 1st day of school. Everything has been prepared, from ironing of school uniform to packing of her books etc, now is just counting down to the BIG day...

Hotwheels New Gadget Diecast Car

This was one of Jeremy's bday presents which I didn't give him. Since he was asking for present, I decided to let him have it. We were all in awe on how swiftly the car changed its color within split seconds!!

Fixing Puzzles

While Jamie was away attending a workshop at the CC, Jeremy & I did some right brain activities b4 fetching her and to IMM for lunch.

The Boys

Jamie was the photographer...

Early Reading

Started Joshua wif board books since he was around 3mths old. Who says early literacy is not good??

Abacus Practise

While I was coaching Jeremy, Jamie on the other hand, was doing her usual daily abacus activities. She is now into advanced stage and soon she is going into multiplication b4 end of this year.

Home Practise

It's been quite some time Jeremy hasn't been practising using his fine motor skills and here , Jeremy is taught to stack up knobless cylinders using his logical skills as well. Not easy cos he needs to arrange for the thinnest to the thicknest in terms of width and height.

Spindle Box

After that, I also started revising number bonds and counting using the spindle box wif him.

3D Under the Sea Art & Craft

We did (I think I did the most!) this during our free time. Nice??

Backdated

Jamie started to swallow capsules last month, 11th when she suddenly out of the blue, asked me if she can try to swallow. And to my surprised, she did it!! And now, its so much easier to feed her supplements. And this Jeremy, upon seeing how his sister did, he also asked me to allow him to try. Guess what? He did it too!!! That's the power of peer pressure, whahhahaaa!

Story Island Holiday Programmes (8-10 Dec)

Today is the last day of the morning camp and here is Jamie receiving her "award" for being the best script memorising kid. I think she has enjoyed herself very much during the 3 days camp cos at the end of the last day, she requested to study at Story Island again (after 1/2yr break).

School Uniform

Finally settled her uniform this afternoon! *pardon me wif her crank, tired look as we went directly to the school after the chinese camp*

Maclaren Quest

Josh doesn't like the Lucky Baby Capella stroller (sold it off lately) & I managed to buy over this from a fren whose gal has outgrown. I think I've made a right choice... see how relaxed Josh was? This was his 1st time riding on it and b4 long, he had already dozed off!!
