Not Yet. Not of age yet.....

You guys have been kept very busy. Maybe one day, you will appreciate all these lessons that you have attended so far. Or perhaps you will start to resent them one by one.. Who knows.
But one thing for sure, looking back at this post when you are bigger, you will ask Mummy, "Why did you make us attend so many classes?"
Mummy's only answer would be "For your own good"
Of course, the other "unspoken" reason is "Bcos of Mummy's KS mindset".....

Until then, continue to enjoy your lessons.

Hugs & Kisses
Mummy

Nicolle's New Milestone

NN
We are seeing a very matured Nicolle these days.
You are very serious in your work, and especially diligent in your reading.
Everynight, you never fail to bring a few readers to read for Mummy.

Am really glad that you are enjoying your reading, my dear

You will never be alone

Dear YY, NN, DD and xDD
Having a lot of brothers and sisters can be a good thing. Even though you may vie for Papa's and Mummy's attention sometimes, and fight over toys and books at other times, you 4 would have no lack of companionship during your growing up years.
Mummy witnessed an incident during one of your play session at Downtown East Explorer Kids Indoor Playground last weekend.
YY, NN and DD. You 3 were having fun at the "tunnel" station when a 5 yr old boy approached DD and pushed him 2x. Immediately, you 2 came to DD's rescue and stood in front of him, shielding him from the boy. It didn't matter that you could be pulling one another's hair out at home every other day. What is most important is, Thank you for keeping a lookout for one another when you are outside. :)
In another incident, 2 kids, totally unrelated to each other, requested to join you 3 in the play because your laughter was simply too contagious.

Besides education, siblings are the best gifts Papa and Mummy have given you 4. :)

A New Found Interest

Dear YY n NN
Mummy is glad that we signed you 2 up for the blading lessons earlier. At least you are getting abit of sun out there besides your regular weekend swims. You 2 had so much fun that you requested to continue with more lessons despite Mummy's initial idea that 4 lessons should be sufficient to send you blading on your own.
NN, you were quite hesitant during the first 2 lessons and needed a lot of coaxing just to get onto the pavement. Surprisingly you were also keen to continue and even requested to practise during the weekdays.

Dear NN
It was a real surprise to see you swim abit at the pool today. You managed to swim ard 2-3m without float. Hands and legs not really well co-ordinated, but it was really amazing. Taught by Papa during those weekend funtime at the pool.

Bear and Chicken Get Ready for School



Bear and Chicken are back! They are getting ready to go to a new school. But moving from their familiar school to a new one is scary. Together Bear and Chicken decide to join the Circus. Wouldn’t it be fun to be the circus clown, acrobat or even the lion tamer?
What entails is a charming discovery that not all lessons in life are learnt in a classroom and perhaps the circus isn’t all fun and games after all.
This play illustrates how sometimes our fears can be blown out of proportion but with a good friend at your side; you can overcome a potentially daunting situation like the first day of school. Perhaps school can even be fun!
Bear and Chicken Get Ready for School is the third of a highly successful original series that began with When I Grow Up and Bear and Chicken Go Camping. You’ll get to meet the lovable Bear in his circus costumes, and Chicken who is all set for school!


Dear YY, NN n DD
Another Bear and Chicken Play. We watched this with Zavier and Ashley this time.
DD, real glad that you managed to sit through the whole play this time. You were quite engrossed. You even cried for more when the play ended. :)
NN, Mummy was seated quite far away from you this time and didnt manage to attend to you during the play. Sorry, my love.
YY, like always, you enjoyed yourself thoroughly.

Hugs & Kisses
Mummy
