For the past 7 weeks without a domestic helper, Ch and L had to help around more. Initially, Ch did show a little resistance as it meant more restrictions to her freedom at home. However, she quickly understood the importance of her contributions. It touches me immensely to see her rising to the occasion and assuming the big sister role to help even before I...
The million dollar necklace was stolen from The Arts House! And who will have the best scoop for this case? This was the setting for a workshop that Ch attended during the September holidays. The children assumed the roles of young journalists and detectives to find the culprit in order to present the story on their local newspapers. They visited "crime scenes" in...
My dear girl. Finally got a chance to see her in her cute kindy uniform on a school day. Usually, I'll leave for work shortly after she wakes to brush her teeth. Today, I only needed to start work at 9am as my school is rehearsing for our school musical production, Wizard of Oz. So, I took the chance to bring her down...
1. "It's Mother's Day today, so I don't want to make you angry. I want to make you happy, so I eat a lot (for dinner)." My heart melted when I heard this. 2. "I have a screwdriver, and I'm going to screw you!" Ch said this to my church friend, YY. ZY and YY almost fainted due to excessive laughing. Of course,...
10 Dec 2008 - Ch participated in her dance centre's performance held at Victoria Concert Hall. This was her virgin performance, and she was supposed to be one of the red apples of Snow White. Through this performance, she experienced many firsts: first time being alone without mommy and daddy for two whole days first time taking a school bus first time dozing...
Ch was in her arty creative mood two days ago, so I suggested finger painting. This is something she enjoys but we rarely do it as I'm so busy with L and other stuff. So, that morning when my MIL kindly helped to bathe L, I stole the chance to paint with her. When I asked her what she had drawn, she replied as-a-matter-of-factly "Hippopotamus... ...
Finally have some time to update my blog. It has been a hectic and stressful month, but fortunately, life seems to be more peaceful now. Perhaps coz we are more aware of L's needs and wants, and have more or less a system of handling both kids. Here are some pictures to share, especially with those who have not seen the new kid...
In one of the episodes of the Little Einsteins, Quincy played the violin to help in a mission. Ch noticed how it was done and during lunch that day, she took her chopsticks and pretended to play the violin!I didn't really know what she was doing then, but she mouthed softly "Just like Quincy!". It was then that I realised what she was...
I'm estatic!! We witnessed Ch stand!! Of course, she did it with the help of the side of her cot... she held on to the ledge of the cot and lifted herself up!! She had this smirk on her face like as if she's saying "There! I did it finally!!"... then she sat down and repeated the whole process a few times. It's really...
