JBCG - 2nd visit

We revisit Jacob Ballas Children Garden(JBCG) again last saturday with Jenny's family.THis round, we started at bukit timah core, so we go straight into JBCG instead of walking all the way from the botanic garden main entrance

This is the very first time Missy play a tunnel slide. i slide down together with her on my lap, i dont think she enjoy the slide, she find climbing the steps to get to the top of the slide is more fun that sliding down the tunnel slide..



pictures say it all. missy and yu siang (Jenny's son) enjoy their water fun for sure.Jenny is not in the pics cos she is with her bb girl. missy even make friends with ang mo girl. cutey.



before we left JBCG, we manage to catch a glimpse of the black swan, they happen to swim onto the land to sun bath or something.. rather small swan compare to the white one we saw last time in swan lake. i ask LGG took the pictures of the two mummies busy bathing our kid. haa.. next time they grow big can show them. childhood is always so memorable :)



missy fell asleep in car in less tnan 5 minutes after we left. how sleepy. one day full of fun and outdoor exercise.

Sunday, i brought missy down for walk and she gets to play with one 3 year-old kor kor who loves to play with her. they run, ring his bicycle.. chasing, climb here and there.. the boy even invite us to his home haaa..children really cute.

One weekend well-spent.

Weekend activities

SO, eventhough cny is here, we still have to engage my little one with lots of activities, as she cannot sit or stop moving except, when she is drinking milk or when she is taking nap..*super tiring*

We play with a lot of scribbling, i add some more fun by giving her calendar marker to stick on her body and stick on the drawing block , and she just scribble on the dot each time i pasted it on.. haaa..

then, i let her play with ang pow packets..she just open, turn, flip, then tear...

We went to playground, two times this week, she prefer to run around than playing with the swing/slides..

every morning, we still have our morning walk, she get to chase birds.. and wak on grass.. she can point to actual bus when i ask her where is bus..

she knows fan, clock, and i introduce her television recently and she knows it when i ask her where is television. she knows flowers, she knows apple and best is food. she knows is each time when she sees food.

Im now reading some book on games for toddler.. shall engage my girl with more activities over the weekends..

Play is children's right !

AnoTher WeEkends without my little darling...

one week over le.. we felt like months.. basically, i called home everyday to hear missy's voice.. mum said she can cal papa, gong gong, popo and neh neh now.. and her daddy misses her so much that he smells her bear bear to remind him of her smell.. ohh..how we miss our little one.. days without her at home.. so quiet..

but then, this is also consider a relief time for us as parents.. we get to "enjoy" 2 weeks of just the two of us time.. i get back to cooking dinner daily.. cleaning home.. i did so much cleaning up during the weekends.. i simply cant do these with my "busybody, inquisitive" girl around.. she just so interested in everything we adults do.. we open drawer, she will come and "help" us see what's inside and even help to take things out.. duhh.. that's her.. active and inquisitive always.. well.. i think she takes after me.. heee..



I have re-arranged my living room to be children-proof . all lower racks are her toys.. and no dangerous /sharp/poison like medicine within her reach. kitchen drawer all cleared, put only things she is allowed to play or take.. bottles have to shift higher.. my wines all have to move to highest rack.. she broke my whole bottle of perfume last week, i don't want her to break my of wines so precaution has to be done *eyes rolling*..

i'm rather satiefied with my living room arrangement, all lower racks are her toys and i purposely put some basket of books and her puzzles underneath the coffee table, so that we can keep her busy while we are in living room.. haaa

Yesterday, LGG & i went "Pat-tor" hee.. weird to say this word now.. as after you have kids, it's just never be the same again, cos everything u buy surely have one thing is for your children. and at the end of the whole shopping, nothing is for me !! *sob sob*.. but LGG compensate that with doghnuts.. ok lah.. i don't need anything for the time being anyway.


Today, we went to shichida kindergarten seminar. i just want to understand how the kindergarten will be ran. Im just so impressed by their principal, Jocelyn Khoo. She is a very inspiring speaker i must said. LGG & i believe in their methods as they combine saintific research of how children brain react to certain teaching at each age group , she is so on that she involve in her own methods.. i guess i never made the wrong choice by enrolling my gurl to their weekly class.

Shall see how the weekly class goes.. if i see result, i may enrol my missy to their kindergerten nursery when she turns 3.

It is believed that learning is to help others.. not because you want to be successful. This is schichida's belief. It is rather different from what montessori approach is.
