MY NEW SHOES

Mama noticed that I do not have a pair of nice shoes to wear for Gong Gong and Ah Ma's Wedding Anniversary...so she search high and low for one...my mama (dun know to say kiam siap or economical) not willing to pay for expensive shoes. She searched very long to find one good and cheap one for me...Thank God that she found one nice and inexpensive one from BATA (Bata is definetely no Buy And Throw Away, hor)...The colour of the shoes also matching with my shirt and pants...PERFECT!

My Own Flash Card

Mama is getting a bit more hardworking lately...probably because she saw the effectiveness of flashcard through Cathleen...she did a few flashcards for me...She ask Mary jie jie to teach me alphabets using sandpaper (also done by her) and flash the card for words that start with the alphabet...eg. "A", we have ant, apple and alligator etc...

Below are some of mama's hardwork.

Well, where mama get so many cards??? It's a recycle card, the content?? Let me show you...

It's mama and papa's wedding invitation card....she found a stack of it and decide to make good use of it.

Different face expression!!!!

My unfriendly look --- no smile, I hate taking pictures

Haha...the smiley side of me but it's difficult to get good pictures of me smiling or laughing

MMI (Modern Montessori International)

"Montessori gives your child a strong basis in the most fomative and important years for developing into a responsible, happy and fulfilled person"

- Dr Maria Montessori

On 11th August, Mama took me to MMI Katong for a trial class. Mama is always interested in Montessori method and she believes in it.

Our class is 10am and we reach there exactly at 10am cos we waited very long for bus no.40. We started of with some Practical Life Exercise (it's like a revision for mama), she also try to pick up some of the exercise that she can do it at home with me...after that we gathered around and did phonics exercise...We learned the alphabet "A" and the words alligator, ant, apple and also apron, they even have a song for it...The teacher showed us the alphabet "A" traced on a sandpaper. We were taught to use our sense of touch and visual to learn the alphabet (sensorial exercise). I also learn the number 1, 2 and 3.

Now it's fun time, we have water play, we wore an apron (hey apron is the word I just learnt).. According to teacher May, it can be part of practical life cos we practice and refine our motor skills by scooping water with cups and transferred to a bottle...I was all wet cos I went into the tub of water...haha and naughty me start splashing water unto other...hehe...

We went back to our classroom for lesson. Teacher May taught us shapes with the Montessori materials, where we trace the shape with our fingers, we also sing a song about shapes. The floor was all pasted with many shapes like rectangle, square, circle and triangle...we sing and walk tip top on the border of the shapes...

We ended the class with some song of jumping, hopping, walking...WOW FUN...can hop around...we suppose to have art and craft but we don't have enough time for that.

Ater the class I was so tired, probably because of all those jumping and hopping...when we board bus no.40, in less than 10 mins, I fell asleep...






Mama went home and discussed with papa about sigining up. Mama is seriously considering of signing up for me next month...

GARDENING DAY

Every evening I'll go down to the small garden at my block to see rabbits and fishes. This garden is the Senior Citizen Garden, where the senior citizens will go there and plant many kinds of trees and keep pets like rabbits and fishes.

The auntie who take cares of the garden is very nice and friendly. But taking care of a garden is not easy, there's a lot of maintenance job need to be done such as clearing all the dead leaves....

Well, since I've been given the priviledge to visit the garden (cos it's always locked), I'll do my part as good citizen to help auntie to clear the leaves...hehe, kiasu mummy quickly take the opportunity to do counting games with me...she say one, i'll say two, three...then i'll stop and jump to six and eight...haha...

I had fun doing gardening...here are some pictures to share with you all...

Yeah...mama not working today cos it's a public holiday, it's Singapore's National Day.

Didn't do much, in the morning just went Ikea for shopping. In the evening, mama anxiously waiting for the National Day Parade. Had early dinner, getting ready to glue to the TV. Around 7.45, mama super kiasu, faster bring me and Mary jie jie to the 20th floor of my block to see fireworks...we waited for 15-20mins for the fireworks to start...WOW!! so nice that I quietly admire the fireworks. When it's all done, I keep asking mama for more...mama told me to wait for another week cos there will be another round of fireworks on 17th or 18th August.

Anyway, just take this time to wish Singapore....

"A HAPPY 42nd BIRTHDAY"!!
