2009-10-31T15:32:00.003+08:00

Letter M for Mummy is the letter of the week @ JG. Mummy and I decided to go to the class dressed in Mother-Child attire. It is handmade by my mummy of course.

Here's our outfit. Nice?

Darling is a fireman! Neeee Naw Nee Naw...

Getting my letter M stamp on my hands...

Chinese arts & crafts...dressing up mummy's hair...

And here's my DIY necklace for mummy...

Yummyummm...

I wonder...

2009-10-27T21:50:00.003+08:00

Scene 1:

What will you do when you see a tear on a stuff toy? Needle and thread? Well, the first thing that came to darling's mind was to bring out my doctor's kit and give barney a checkup.

LOL...we were playing with barney when darling noticed a hole on barney's back.

Darling: "Oh nooooo....holeeeeeee".
Mummy: "So how? Barney pain pain?"
Darling: *walk away and return with her doctor's kit. Out came the stethoscope, syringe, thermometer, medicine*
Mummy: *stunned*

Guess kids of my age really do things that is beyond explaination. Another incident to share:

Scene 2:

My wardrobe has several levels:
Level 1 is where I put my home clothes and
Level 2 is for my school uniform and hanky.

One day, I opened my wardrobe doors, I noticed something amiss when I saw my hanky at level 1. I quickly moved my hanky back to level 2 and closed the wardrobe doors. My mummy was dumbfolded seeing this act. Have you ever wonder how a 22 months old kid an be so fussy???? LOL...

Deepavali Celebration

2009-10-20T21:33:00.004+08:00

We had Deepavali celebration at O today. Mummy has been hunting high and low for an indian dress for darling. We ended with this pinkish punjabi suit.

Mummy also bought bangles for darling, but darling doesnt want to wear them. Haiz...but at least, i still put on my earrings and a ring to school.

Here's my outfit. Nice?

A small celebration with traditional indian food and teachers explaining what is the significance behind this festival Deepavli is all about.

Morning Walk

2009-10-18T21:15:00.007+08:00

Sunday morning...it's our bonding day, just mummy and me alone...We woke up early in the morning, took a bath, and then we went for our morning walk around our estate.

A sandplay before we leave our house....new bows...DIY by mummy...it's a bow charm on crocs...

Here we are...at the open space...

Saw mummy doing the deep breathing in and breathing out, darling also follow...monkey see, monkey do...

Run run run....to exercise my bones and body...good for kids....

Counting time...1 petal, 2 petal, 3 petal...

Yeah...

Darling gave mummy yet another surprise...Darling saw some red flowers and tell mummy, RED...pointing at the flowers, and shouted RED RED RED...

Mummy was happy and said, "So clever, darling...let's go over there to get some purple flowers..."

Darling said "Purple"...

Mummy was shocked...asked darling to say "Purple" and I did...LOL...

Excellent right??

PURPLE...

We went to Vivo for dinner...Look at me, drooling away...the mashmallows are just simply yummy....

Yummmmm

This is how darling tells mummy "One more please"

Family Nite Out

2009-10-17T20:50:00.001+08:00

Weekends is here again. Went to grandma's place. As usual, grandma always prepared alot of mummy's favourite food. Salty crabs, braised duck and durians...Daddy, mummy and yiyi had fun eating together, and loving it...

We were watching MJ's concert show DVD. They didn't know darling likes it very much. LOL...darling is basically "glued" to the TV enjoying every MJ's moves....

Mummy...

My ah ma and darling..

We met gong gong for dinner @ Hougang...

Keeping myself entertained while waiting for the food to arrive...

Darling is 22 months old!

2009-10-17T13:41:00.000+08:00

22 months old today. I marked this day with a special surprise for mummy.

I usually call my mummy as "Ma". Today, I surprised her by calling her "Ma ma". Tell you, she was extremely delighted. I think it has been a long wait for my mummy. Hahhaa...

The sweetest sound she calls it and keep asking me to repeat for her. *eyes rolling*

I think I have to work extra hard to pop the word "Dad Di". Wait awhile longer, daddy. LOL

1st School Excursion

2009-10-14T23:55:00.005+08:00

Darling's first excursion to Sentosa was quite a memorable one; more for mummy i think. From the time she signed the consent form, to the day that I was sent to school, she has been worrying sick. LOL...

Let me tell you the preparation work that she did. She put a luggage tag on my backpack. This luggage tag has my name on it, and mummy's handphone number. Hahaha, she was worried that darling might get lost in Sentosa.

In my backpack, we have a small snack pack, insect repellent, sunblock, raincoat and an Odyssey hat. Quite a lot of things right? My mummy ensures her darling's needs are all taken care of. Heee...

Picture took by teachers..

Mummy fetched darling from school today. Mummy get to see how cute darling was dozing off on the bus. With backpack on my back, water bottle sling across my shoulders, seat belt fasten, darling was rocking from side to side. The moment I saw mummy, I went "wuahhhhhh"....LOL....

Word of the day - Wall

2009-10-13T23:02:00.008+08:00

Darling has picked up lots of words since a couple of months back. I am able to say these words:

No
Ang = Yes
Eat
Go
Egg
More
There
Book
Fan
Cup
Up
Pack = Bagpack
Leg
Bra
Bra = Umbrella
Hat
Bao Bao = Carrying
Na = Banana
No more
Oh no
Yeah
Hug
Sit
Floor
Hold
Eeee = Please
One more
Eat
Star
Are

(LOL, mummy lost count liao)

Anyway, every time mummy heard a new word of the day, she will go..."WOW...darling is so clever, my girl is so smart...mummy love love..."

See, I can even recite her lines...LOL....that's my mummy. Not too sure if CC helps or it is time that darling starts to say a word or two, but I guess it is a happy moment for us all, daddy, mummy, me and aunty ruby when a new word pops up.

As you know, we have daily home activities. From Letter of the week, numbers, hands-eyes coordination, patterns, opposites, etc...to water play/sandplay/painting...

Tonight, we had a camping theme, so we "pitched" a tent in my bedroom and played with touchlight. I asked mummy to shine the light on the WALL. It was the first time mummy heard this. Impressed, excited and surprised was she. Yelling and screaming and hugging with joy as usual. LOL...

Can't wait to master the ability to make sentences. I think alot of people are waiting patiently for this moment to arrive..

Julia Gabriel Term 4 Lesson 4

2009-10-10T22:18:00.000+08:00

Lesson 4 @ JG.

Today, darling did something "daring". I played with Hong Laoshi's piano. Hahaha, no one has done it before. Naughty darling.

LOL...and then darly joined me....we were playing duos...

Helping out...

Snack time....eat eat eat...

Play time...

Are you wondering what has caused darling to have this expression????

LOL...teacher rino was telling parents that next lesson, we are going to have swimming time....that got darling excited...cos darling thought we are going to have swimming NOW....

Car Wash

2009-10-08T19:37:00.004+08:00

What a better way to teach your kid about car wash by washing his/her toycar?
Mummy was feeling slightly better today. So we had a role play game where mummy was driving her car up to the carwash station. Darling will be washing her car...

We need sponge and soapy water ...First, soak your sponge with lots of soapy water...

Next, you wash the car seat...

Followed by the back wheels...

And then, front wheels...

When you are done, use clean water to spray off the soap...

Give it a thorough wash...and then u're done....

Mummy bought darling a new swimsuit...time to hit the poool....LOL....not the pool yet...

Yesterday, we were playing the sorting land animals and sea animals. To make the game more real, mummy created blue sea for darling...

Sharks belong in the blue ocean...

Nicole had a fall!

2009-10-08T12:00:00.004+08:00

Boooo hoooo...darling had a great fall at childcare today. At around 1045am, mummy received a call from Teacher Monica to learn about darling's fall. Mummy was so panicky and worried. Luckily, mummy was resting at home these 2 days, as she has fallen sick (caught the flu bug from darling). Immediately, she rushed to the school to take a look at darling.

Ohhhh noooo...there were bruises on my right eyebrow...mummy was furiously mad...She learnt that darling has slipped while climbing up the stairs at the playground. So much for having a 1:4 teacher: student ratio. Accidents like this still happened.

So poor thing. Hope darling recovered soon.

Sea Animals or Land Animals??

2009-10-07T19:32:00.002+08:00

It is never too early to teach kids about things. Mummy taught darling about land and sea animals. After 2 rounds of practise, darling already knows that Dinos are land animals and sharks are sea creatures.

It was fun and I requested mummy to do 2nd round.

Of course, there were times when I hestitated and pondered for awhile. Mummy assisted darling along the way.

Nice game...mummies out there should try too...

My Happy Family Dollhouse

2009-10-07T19:30:00.004+08:00

While I was having my dinner, daddy came back home with something for darling. It's a dollhouse....

Yeah, my very first dollhouse...

Cant wait to play with mummy...

Halloween is around the corner!

2009-10-06T21:17:00.003+08:00

Halloween is just around the corner. In preparation for this day, daddy and mummy is doing something on that day. Still remember the pumpkin lantern that daddy made last year? This year, I wonder what is he going to do?

As for mummy, she bought this hat for me. Am I the prettiest witch u ever seen?

Just a wave of my magic wand, I changed into my pyjamas in a wink of the eye...LOL

Another pic found in my mummy's handphone...darling wearing the red red clown nose...
