Weekdays Activities -2nd week of June

This week, we skipped one day of card flashing (mummy raise white flag to flu ), but, we still did a lot of scribbling..colouring.. i try to get her to connect two similar objects together with straight line *matching*.. she did more zigzag and circling now instead.



Some matching games for her.. to darw straight lines to connect two simialr items.. with lots of guidance from me of course.


She can match the ikea coloured plate/bowl/cutlery set by colours now.. she can say red, yellow, blue.. but she does not really know which colour is which yet..so i introduce one more game to missy. fishing !

self-made game. get fishes of primary colours, cute them out, paste them on cardboard, then clip a paper clip on them. use a wooden chopstick, stick on a magnet on the tip, which will be the fishing rod ! brilliant isn't it ? cost = zero. effort = lots of love...

Missy loves to take the fish out and in and out and in.. in all the wrong bowls.*sigh* but hey.. so long she enjoys it. im prety satisfied already. the concept of colours will coem eventually, as when she fish, i will keep telling her the correct bowl the fish should go !



we did few times of fishing this week, missy is getting expert in using her rod to fish *grin*



One last game for this week, yet, another simple hand-made game and good training for fine motor skill. print out a cat, then pasted on cardboard. ask your child use the clothe peg to make the cat's whiskers.. cool right !

missy still cant open up the cloth peg, it's a bit tight, so we shall revisit this game ! maybe i should print more like lion , animal with whiskers.. maybe use paper clip.. missy has no problem with paper clip !




okok.. enough updates on missy's weekly activities.. im still lagging on the linking memory games.. got to catch up and also prepare for July's 200 flash cards with new topics.. time's catching up and i feel like im sleazing like sloth.. oh mine !!

This week we read books on "Happy" & "Good night Tale".

Sunday bonding time

Sunday, after nap, neighbour gave us the sculptured balloons, she gotten from a party, she purposely ask for these for missy, Elmo & octapus.. cool !

so missy and her dada are busy playing the balloons, i should say, missy is busy dismantling the balloons.. and the father is busy putting it back to shape..

so, after missy is tired of her destroying act.. she decided to take up mummy's offer of vitagen and sit there drinking while the father still busy saving the "animals"... haaa

missy is doing her homesheet while her daddy is helping her..

Sunday bonding time..as usual..

Finghting with Bugs

been very busy.. busy fighting with bug.. with flu bug.. sigh.. i always thought i'm sososo "healthy" i exercise at least twice weekly, eat home cooked food, sleep early. yet, still i cant escape from being "attacked" by that flu bug..

i still think it's the girl sitting beside us in our Sunday class , pass to me, for two Sundays, she always come to class sneesing and with stripes of mucus hanging on her nose.. and yet her parents seem so ignorant,i have to remind her mum or dad to "err.. she has this mucus hanging out from her nose" then the mum or dad (the dad cant calm her girl, so mum came in afterwards) will "ohh.. aiyoo.. you have flu" i was like ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS ?? She is sneeing all the way, and you still bring her to class.. so bad luck lor..

Past few weeks, i already dun feel like, the bloatedness, headache, exhasution then on Tuesday morning, my headache started., actually i have sore throat first. and i start to feel my nose is watery..see doc in the afternoon and get 1.5 days MC. heee.. tot yipeee.. i can plan things to do at home tmw. FLU CAN GET MC now.. muahahah.. last time i used to resist MC for flu. unless fever.

then, on tuesday night, my headache still persisted. getting worst instead. and i started to developed fever at night.. sore throat..really feel beaten ! lucky thing after one day of rest, im all ok, except for stuffed nose till now.

Missy is still ok then. just that her left eyes started to become watery intermittenly, symptoms for running nose le.. mum still said missy is "tougher" than her mummy.. never knew.. Friday morning she woke up around 6am and wanting me to carry her to my bed, when i carried her, i can feel her body is warm, oh no.. her body resistent gave up too to the flu bug.. she has fever !!!!

so, quickly take urgent leave from boss. and bring her to kkh to see doc. and lucky thing, after three doses of fever medicine and flu medicine, she seems much better. no fever now.. poor girl.. blame it all to the stupid flu !!

June Weekdays activities

We are entering mid of 2009 now.. phew.. what have i done so far ? mm. actually done a lot of things with missy.. hee..



We did some farm animals matching.. i show her a farm animal, she choose one among all farm animals which i prepared on ice-cream stick , choose the right one and tab on the picture i show her.. I must say, missy did a splendid good job here.. she can match all 100% correct !! really is showing me she is growing up now.. no more baby.. her eyes and hand coordination is very good now. we shall play more of these games with fruits and other subject.. preparation work is a lot cos i need to print the pictures then paste it on cardboard then paste the picture on ice-cream stick. but, seems like a fun way to learn new subjects besides flash cards

Then, we had a new toy, the little tikes piggie torch, it can make oink oink sound, i play these with missy by swithcing off lights and hide into the tent.. and see shadow.. she loves it.. and i use this to let her colout pig.. she is not so interested on that day..prefer to explore the piggy torch instead.



Then we had our stacking games again (revisit activities), she is not interested with stacking for some time, but i always leave these games (stacks, ring, cups, puzzles) in open area that she is accessible. she now can stack all the colours and shapes. i am very proud of her skill. sometimes i think children observes and they just one day do carry the thing and do it, shocking their parents..haaa.. i even video it for memory.




Today, we has our water colour for the very first time, with brush. I bought this from popular, faber-castell again, i prefer this brand cos it's washable. ELC ready to use colour is convenient but non-washable. that's the headache part. so, i just squeeze some on the plate and missy knows right away to use the brush and splatter on her easel ! haaa.. my little artist ! see how satisfied she is




Missy's masak masak now evolved to using real pot.. she demand for one.. so mum gave her one small one .. *shake head*.. the book she flip is the eric carle "slowly slowly slowly said the sloth" very colourful and she always recognise the snake..heee
