No More Tears

The girl still complains of the longer hours at school but she seems to be settling in well now. Yesterday, they gave out some books for the first time.

They've been doing arts and crafts at school, some Chinese New Year card, spring cleaning their classroom etc so school seems not so bad to her for now accept that its a bit dragy. Each kid was supposed to bring a pail and a rag to wipe. I bet she enjoyed that.

Whenever I do cleaning up at home, I would give each of the kids a rag and ask them to help. They both love that tremendously. At this age, they love to help.

Well, it looks like after 3 weeks of school, she has started to get into the swing of things and settling in but then......... there is 10 days of holidays. Then we are back to square one.

I will probably take 10 days blog leave too. Hahaha. So if you don't see me.....

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO YOU!

Too eager to go to Kindy

Last night at bedtime, the little one said....

"Mummy, teacher said she will give me orange, card and lantern. Please remind me ok?" (Teacher had promised them to return the card and lantern that they made in kindy plus give them a mandarin orange each today if they were good in their reading).

I told him, ok I will remind him, but then he said.......

"Oklah. Oklah. Lets go now."

lol. That was at 9.00pm at night. He was so eager to get his stuff that the teacher promised, he wanted to go to kindy in the night. Hahaha.

This morning I reminded him and I told him to remind the teacher if she forgets, to which he replied....

"I am a bit shy of the teacher lah, mummy."

Hahaha. He is so adorable... if I may say so myself. lol.

Online Chinese New Year Game for Kids

I like to let my kids play themed games to help them remind them about an oncoming festival as well as to create excitement for them about the coming event. So since Chinese New Year is just around the corner, I let them play with Chinese New Year themed games and teach them to sing Chinese New Year songs. This is in addition to bringing them to buy new clothes, cookies and decorations to help put them in the mood. :)

Here's an online Chinese New Year Game that my kids like to play. The character is Kai Lan from NickJr.com. In the game the kids are supposed to help collect some coins for yeh yeh (grandfather) to put into angpow packets.

Here is the url to the online Chinese New Year game. I hope that your kids enjoy it too. Cheers!

My Little Super Glue

I was really afraid that my little super glue (that would be my boy) would give me problems when he starts kindy this year. I was worried that he'd cry and cling to me like a koala bear. Hahaha.

Fortunately not. I think it helps that he is No 2 and he has been accompanying me to and from the kindy daily to see his sister. He is very familiar with the kindy by now so there is no problem adjusting.

He loves it. He is still beaming. When I dropped him off yesterday, I stole up to his class behind him. I heard him telling a classmate that his daddy had cut his hair. Hahaha. Actually his daddy took him for a haircut.

When I go and take him home, I love to see his happy beaming face. This morning I dropped him at the gate and he beamed and said "I love you mummy." Then he waved and said goodbye with his big grin.

I remember when he was just a baby, someone mentioned that he is a joyful baby to have around because he is always smiling. He is 5 now and still always smiling. Yup he is a joy to have around.
