Didi's birthday

Didi celebrates his 2nd birthday in school! That's Zhengming, his classmate, beside me.


Didi and Xuan's 何老师。


Didi's gifts (it's really funny why the birthday kid is the one giving out gifts)--Barney, BJ and Baby Bob masks! Mama So is tired of receiving sweets and stationary from "party bags" and decided that since I don't want my kids to be eating snacks, I won't give out snacks to other kids.

Took back 3 for the 3 of us!

Happy birthday didi!

We celebrated his birthday in school as well (will post photos later). Xuan was the one who said "为什么没有蛋糕?" so we bought one just to sing birthday song for didi :) He can blow the candles himself! :D:D My little boy is 2yrs old now :) How time passes!

Xuan's drawings

Xuan's figures have a body now. Head is still big, meaning she places more focus on the face.



Getting more sophisticated. Got hair, got shoe, got proportion. The 妹妹 didn't have hair at first, was supposed to be 弟弟, but she decided that she prefer a 妹妹 afterall :P


A painting that she was super proud of. Well use of the space, nicely spaced out, and she's able to tell us a story of the painting, but still at the stage of "draw first, decide what it is later" rather than knowing what she's drawing before she starts.

Little Notes @ Yamaha

Xuan has been attending music class at Yamaha. They will be performing for us parents on the last day of the term. This is their "rehearsal" :)

Music and movement for young children is basically rhythm, dynamics, catching the melody, etc. Most of her classmates are moving on to the next level where they will start playing the electone, but we're not continuing with the class. Let didi have his turn at attending...something. I haven't really decided what I want her to take up next...some form of dance? I'm not sure how I want to proceed with her music "training" either. But anyway, we've been playing the Little Notes CD at home too, as a form of night or sunday activity. Wondering if I need to send didi to the same class at all :P

My bag will drop!

Colin is afraid that his bag may drop...Melody did the exact same thing when she was little! :):)



My bag will drop!

Xuan used to carry her bag like this too, with one hand raised up :)

Guess who's hand?


I will always treasure the days when their hands are still tiny and I can wrap them in my palm... :)

Fishy

一只小鱼游啊游,游啊游,游啊游,一只小鱼游啊游,快快抓住!

Birdie!

Isn't there a child in each of us wishing we can do that again without anyone staring at us? :) :P

Using the fork





Perfect hand eye coordination! :D It's really time to let her practise with different cutlery...

Playing Chinese flute

Ever since Xuan saw me perform at my office's Mid Autumn Festival celebration, she's been trying to imitate me :) 后继有人!

And didi is imitating her! :D

Jiayou, jiayou!

My baby

脚长了……

可是手臂还是短短的、手小小的
这张最像baby,就这样吧,妈妈舍不得你长大!

Children's Day

Xuan came to my office today cos her centre closes on children's day. She ate biscuits, strolled up and down the garden...


Ate some more Milo ball (courtesy of my colleague)
The gift pack on the table is from another colleague


She entertained herself with all the toys and teaching resources that we have...


She likes to line things up...

Even with dominos...

or blocks


Being mischievious...




Generally, she likes coming to office with me! :)
