A Song For You

Enjoy LZ singing! ;) (recorded on 09 Jan 2007) I use this for my hp ringing tone. Hehehe...

I Can Write! - Z

Z is able to write his Class name - Hope! He was very happy! "Mommy! I can write!" I was hoping the 1st word would be his name but it turn out to be his class name. Nevertheless, I'm happy that he is showing interest. :)

I have been doing the dot dots for his worksheets and he will trace it. Then I decided that he should try writing it and since he has been practicing his writing skills with the assessment books that I've bought for him. Recently I bought those 笔划 books for him since he always ask for more homework. Plan to let him start writing it during this week school holiday.

As for his chinese, he still need lots of practice. He brought home 1 of his reading books from school and 老师 said he needs more practice on it. Of coz I will not force him if he doesn't want to. I will usually ask him or when he picks up a book and ask me to read with him.

What kind of Person Is She?

Yesterday after sending LZ to school and I saw a maid, an old lady (think she's their grandma) and 2 pre-schoolers walking out of the school. I was thinking, so nice of the grandma to pick the kids everyday after school (I see them almost everyday). Just then, I heard her shouting :" You stupid! Walk this side lah!" Oh my! I was shocked! How could she say that to the kids?

No matter how angry we are, we shouldn't say that to the kids. When I am angry, I may have shouted at my kids but I will never use harsh words on them. Sometimes, I will walk away to cool down or I give them a stern look and they will get the hint that I'm getting mad.

When L or Z hear others use 'stupid' or 'shit', they will say "mommy, that guy very naughty, he say that word!"/ "mommy, cannot say stupid right?" Of coz I will always say 'shhhh". What happen if that person hear us and decided to bash me? :D Whenever we are out with our friends, they will refrain from using those words too. That was very thoughtful of them.

School Holiday Plan by L

The other day while we were on the way to pick up Z from school

Me: Sweetie, u know, your 1 week school holiday will be coming up. Mommy has to plan something for you guys to do or we can just relax at home.

L : You mean we don't have to go to school?

Me : Yup!

L : That means we can bake, do art & craft, watch my winx club VCDs, go the zoo, bird park.... (and the list go on)

Me : Errr.... Sweetie, school holiday doesn't mean you play throughout, you have to spend time doing your homework and learn your spelling too.

L : Huh..... You mean we can't do anything?

Me : Of coz I will try to plan things but that doesn't mean we have to go out everyday or do something special everyday. OK?

L : OK! Then we must bake, do art & craft, go the zoo , bird park.... (once again the list goes on.....)

I'm having a big headache......

Baking Time

Lately L has been saying that we have not been baking for a long time. So today I decided to bake cookies with them, wanted to make cupcakes with them but I was kind of lazy.... That will take more time and that means more things to wash too. Sorry babies.....

As usual, they had fun. L was with me throughout the process while Z was watching TV. Then he realised that we were having fun and he decided to join us. "My turn! My turn!" :)

L broke a plate. I was glad that she was not hurt.... She was so afraid that I will scold her (which I did). I was not angry that she broke it but at that moment, I was worried that she might hurt herself and I blamed myself for asking her to bring it to the kitchen. I'm very sorry Sweetie....... :(

Look messy right? That's their creation! It's super yummy!
