Dancing Elephant

Darling loves to sing and dance so much! Little feets tapping on the floor, little hands clapping together... looks like a little dancer... some more some more... he can shake his llittle bum bum very well!

Mummy overjoyed when knowing that there is an enrichment program coming soon in darling childcare. I would very relunctant to miss it! I enrolled him to participat the childcatre center annual event - 2009 Graduation Concert too. Everyday shower him, he will shaky shaky bum bum in the bath tub! :-)

Darling keep asking mummy to let him go piano.... yes, he wants to learn play piano... it is time to look for a school!

1st Meeting Parents' Session for 2009

Today was 1st meeting parents session, I fixed the appointment at 10.30am after Darling’s SM lesson. Darling refused to enter in the school, thought that daddy and mummy wanted him to stay in the school!

We met both English and Chinese teachers, both teachers were happy with Darling’s development. Teacher Sheila (English Teacher) said he speaks well, express himself better then other kids and he has no problem mix and communicating with other kids. With very minimum instrcutions and supervision, he can draw and paint what teacher shown/asked. Darling illustrates good leadership, he leads other kids to complete a lego and dough moulding games. He takes initiative to play and help his friends, he volunteer to help teacher when see teacher tidy up the place etc (in short he is kaypoh! :P).

Teacher Pheng (Chinese teacher) commented that though Darling pronunciation not clear but he able to understand instruction given in Chinese. He can speak some simple words and sing some Chinese songs too! :P May be we can focus to train on his writing skill.

Actually daddy and mummy are happy with Darling’s academic development too. But we still have problems deal with Darling’s strong-minded and mischievous behaviour! He always leads other kids to start hullabaloo. He will be the first one zoom to the door when teacher asked kids to go to canteen etc. And because of these, he has so many cuts and bruise marks on hands and legs.

Think we need more patient and extra time to develop an obedient boy!

Linking Memory Test

A busy day!

Went to SM class like usual but there was the first Linking Memory Olympic test this morning. Darling did well most of the time at home, he could recall about 85% of total 40 cards at the correct squeenze when mummy practices with him at home. When teacher started the test this morning, Darling threw temper, refused to arrange any though the rest of children were actively participating the test. No matter how mummy and teacher pacifying, he walked away from table and refused to touch those cards.

When lesson ended, teacher arranged a separate one for him, then only he relunctantly agrred to do. What a fussy boy!

Diaper Free

We started Darling’s toilet trained since he was 18 months old but failed and we stopped to do so since after mummy started work. Teachers feedback that he can speaks and express himself very well, we should let him diaper free but Darling refused to to do so.

But since early May Darling started to asked for diapers free and we allowed him to do so at home only as he keep asking to go toilet though he doesn’t pee and we continue to let him wear it to school and when we go out just to avoid for too many false alarms.

This morning when mummy changed Darling to prepare go to school, Darling told mummy “I am a big boy, I don’t want diapers!”

“Mummy, can I wear brief!” I didn’t realise that our Darling is a big boy and surprising that he could initiate it himself!

After communicate with his class teacher - Teacher Sheila on diaper free and things to take note, today will be the first day darling go school diapers free. :-)

1st Chinese Song --- 两只老鼠

两只老鼠, 两只老鼠.跑得快,跑得快.
一只没有眼睛 一只没有尾巴.
真奇怪! 真奇怪!
First Chinese song Darling sings to us! Considered not bad though pronunciation not too clear! Mummy very lenient, right! :P
p/s: Tried to download the play list but failed!
