Sarah's first book

Sunday school

Beautiful Sunday morning 

Thank God for his blessings!

Sarah and Nathan attends Sunday School in Chinese.

She is slowly getting used to the environment, learning all worship songs and prayers in Chinese, Nathan simply enjoys the classes, swaying to the music, clapping and dancing.

Mummy needs to work hard in polishing up my Chinese now, starting with the Lord's Prayer! 

Barney show

First time watching Barney show.

Sarah was really anxious and worried that Barney would jump at her, asked a million questions before the show start.

After the show, wanted a photo with Barney yet dare not go upclose with Barney and the cast. 

Sigh.

Reluctantly waved goodbye from the 2nd floor.

Huff and puff and I ....

Yes yes, Nathan has to use the neubaliser again.

He is quite used to it already and somehow knows what to do.

Really hope he will grow stronger and outgrow this stage soon.

Play date!

Nathan turned 22 months today (6/6/2014)

He is very expressive and adventurous.

It has been months since we made a trip to the airport, the kids are always falling ill, otherwise we must have been too tired after a long day and week at school.

He is still excited about the playground at T3, ventured on his own with little of my supervision. 

He enjoys taking photos and will pose for selfie shots.

Met up with Jolene and her kids, Eddric and Ellena for a play date.

It was definitely the almost IMPOSSIBLE mission to get all kids to look at the camera at the same time.

Come to think about it, there was probably more adults' voices whole trying to direct the kids to look at the cameras! 

Nathan really thinks that he is at play.

So serious....

I'm a Sheriff!

Bought a set of toy guns from the market today. I don't usually indulge them with such toys. Can't help it as Sarah and Nathan have to share an archery set with Gabriel, taking take turns to play with it. 

This set of toy guns comes with

- 3 shot guns

- 1 target and

- 1 sheriff's badge!

Not again... Sharing! 

Guess who got the badge.

 Yes... The youngest.. Nathan. 

Sarah and Gabriel frowned and whined.

Mummy started racking her brains to problem solve!! 

Gave them some recycled cardboard which I kept from the cereal box packaging, and gave them some markers to get them started on their self-made Sheriff Badge.

1) We googled for some ideas of how a Sheriff Badge look like

2) The kids chose the designs they like 

3) They sketched the badge, colour and cut

See... All done! 3 happy kids with their own personalised Sheriff badges!

Sarah loves art

Sarah attends 'Art Explorer' classes while in Cambridge Little Footies Schoolhouse Childcare Centre. 

They have engaged Teacher Sarah an inhouse artist to work with the children.

Her lessons are very well-structured and teaches basic skills every child should know.

Sarah-Grace has been a diligent and attentive girl in class. I know it because she duplicates all work learnt at school.

She asks for paper, pencil, paint and gets on to work on her own.

She grips the pencil very well and can is reflected in her artwork, writing as well as colouring. See below.

Nathan is growing up really fast

Brought Nathan to the market today.

Signs of growing up

1) refused to sit on the stroller

2) refused to hold mummy's hand

3) roaming and exploring by himself

4) looking out for toys 

Nathan's NEW haircut

Mummy tried to be adventurous this time...

Took daddy's hair shaver and attempted to give Nathan a 'trim'

Unfortunately, the damage was too great, had to rush down to Thomson plaza, "$10 - Super Cuts" to get the hair dresser to salvage Nathan's hair.

Check out his new Cool Haircut!!

Zoo trip (Labour Day 2014)
