Here's the product from art class today. Shawn said that he chosed the color and color the wood on his own. On the way home, he was shaking it away and asked, "Mommie can you hear the song? You know you can hang it at the window also, and hear the song." Then back at home, I took it and hang in the kitchen window. He changed his mind and told me that I should not hang Michelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-6919601793340289662012-03-09T00:18:00.001+08:002012-03-09T00:19:34.541+08:00An evening with the dogsWe had a great evening at Lai & Hoe's place. Yes I need to blog it down because we all saw Aiko again.. of course Morrie, lovesssss! Aiko remembers me, not trying to be drama but I (probably) almost shed a tear when I saw her !!! I don't remember any barking either that I'm as excited seeing her again!! I'm absolutely happy to see her after long time.

We are very happy about it. I should think school teach him new words and he could read quite fluently, if not he's probably reciting from what he remembers :) The content of these books are repetitive and that probably helped him to recognize the words well. Now I feel my investments are worth it hahaaa. These are the few books Michelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-18160952465115357682012-02-09T12:49:00.001+08:002012-02-09T12:49:21.025+08:00Shawn's quick updateWe had a chitchat with Tr Katie this morning. Shawn's doing pretty well on school, importantly paying attention in class. As for his 'well being', Tr Katie gives him a bigger portion meals since he doesn't usually ask for more, and well, he does eat up! So that's good news. I asked if he plays roughs in school, she said it's not to such extend that she has to pry the kids apart (much to my reliefMichelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-57146219728566225052012-01-14T01:43:00.000+08:002012-01-14T01:43:22.861+08:00Before Mommie forget...Some new words...
Yesterday he did mention the word MEDIUM, as in small, medium, big (large). I think he just learnt the word in school. Today's new words used was "accidentally" and "ladies". On the way home he said, "Mommie I got 3 blue black on my knee. I run (ran) and was not careful. I accidentally fell down at the school playground near the seasaw. Two ladies helped me up.

His definition of Hosang and Isaac being naughty is "They are naughty. Isaac and Ho Sang do not know ABC and spell their names. They run around the classroom." I redefined not knowing ABC and to spell their names as "People learn at different rate (to him it's SPEED). You should not call them naughty for not knowing ABC Michelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-33683636805142024062012-01-09T23:07:00.000+08:002012-01-09T23:07:06.708+08:00New IsaacHe started Chinese enrichment class last Saturday. When I sent him there, there was another boy crying. I was a little worried that he might want to cling on to me, thankfully not. :) He was happy when I picked him up. I asked if he got to know new friends. Then he said, "Yes got (there is) one Isaac. Not the Isaac from childcare, but another Isaac. So I said, "Oh... new friend, new Isaac?"

Reason being yesterday he was telling me today is playground day. So it was fuss free getting ready for school. He went straight to the bathroom, ready to pee, freshen up and brush his teeth. And he quickly changed his uniform. Later in the evening I learnt that they didn't go to the playground today but instead to bicycle park.

Think it's like a new found word when he suddenly said it in the car, "Dogs have sensitive nose, they can smell many smell, very sensitive".
He probably should realised that he's Mr Perfectionist in the making. We usually hang water bottles on the hook in the car.

We took a train from expo and had breakfast with YT at Raffles City. He had a soft bun with kaya (minus the butter) and 1/2cup of milo. I wanted to bring him to the Philatelic museum but it was drizzling. So after breakfast we walked around Paper market. He loves the stationery, was busy shaking pencil lead, looking at all sort of pens and Michelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-1148005370958184912011-12-22T00:44:00.000+08:002011-12-22T00:44:26.989+08:00About ShawnAs far as I can remember
- Today he sang a Mandarin song in front of his classmates. We got him to sing to us, hmmm weren't sure what song was it but he said it's some kiddy Chinese song
- He learnt about vowels and consonants, I don't remember what age I learnt that in school though...
- Told me that one of his classmates got scolded by Tr Katie for hitting him on the head with thermometer coverMichelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-4712113611618270162011-12-13T21:31:00.000+08:002011-12-13T21:31:58.990+08:00About ShawnShawn : Yesterday I got married with Xin Rui.

Mommie : Ooo really, so how did it go?
Shawn : I hold her hand and dance
Mommie : Nice... so what song did you dance to?

Kids were roaming and playing at the playground. We spoke to Tr Seena about Shawn. Apparently, he is progressing well, pays attention in the class. His physical development is improving. She said recently when he learnt to jump/land on both feet and he could do it, he was very very happy. And kept telling her, "See Tr Seena, I can jump".

Shawn said, "Come here little birdy. Quick quick go and sleep. Later mommie scold you. Go go!" I saw him shoo-ing Dylan to the bed, then he gave Dylan the bolsters... what a good big brother!

His love for Sweet and Sour pork, Pineapple chicken and Hawaiian Pizza are so much like the father. Can't explain more...

Caterpillar become pupa. Pupa also known as chrysalis. Pupa is like that (palms claps together). After that pupa become butterfly. Every morning, a very "caring" Shawn would ask Dylan, "Didi do you want ipad?" With or without answer, he would open the study room door and get the ipad.

When asked what happened, he started to sob. He said, "Tr Seena give me a worksheet. I write my name on the paper, with numbers 1,2,3. Then I lost the paper. I don't know where it is". He was so upset that he cried so much, then we had to pacify him to say it's ok, tomorrow we ask Tr Seena if she kept the worksheet and he can bring it home for us Michelle Looihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05058947012231816470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854738488012107914.post-39648453316610786562011-08-15T13:52:00.000+08:002011-08-15T13:52:20.770+08:00ConfessionsDylan wailed and cried in pain for less than a minute when the 2 were playing

- Shawn took "Lord Shen" and Monkey to Dylan when Dylan threw tantrum when his toy dropped under the bed during diaper change, stroked Didi and went out to continue his TV, Dylan just continued wailing and crying over the dropped toy.
