Musical fingers

Jay follows his sister to piano class starting this week. We hope that this will encourage him to develop his musical skill.

Well, he seldom show his interest in music. He seldom sing or dance or hum but we thought to let him try out in piano class. 

After his 1st class, he was very excited and kept practising on the piano at home. 

Well, let's hope his enthusiasm will continue. 

Colour the pine cones

Collected few pine cones in Borneo Highlands

The kids wanted to colour the cones so I allowed them to use water colour for this purpose

1st day of school holiday

Went for a hair cut this morning

And a little stop in Big J's office!

Happy holiday, guys!

Happy 20 months Jamie

Yes. I know. This mummy has been super lazy in updating his progress but worry not. Here is what Jamie has been through and learnt.

Vocabulary

More into his vocabulary. Some words included fish (he says "fi"), water (he says "ter"), cookie, key, car, lorry, no, sit, down, up, eat, sleep, take, tv, cheese (he says "chee"). He still talk in his baby language so I need to slowly converted those words to English and Chinese.

Greeting

He is a sweet talker. Greet his grandparents, aunt and uncle. Everyone adores him.

Up and down

He can climb up and down the staircases by himself!!

Doodle
Loves to hold pen and pencil and doodle on paper. Luckily he has not into wall doodling (yet!)

Interest

Jamie loves to go out. Everytime he sees us getting ready to go out, he will take his shoes so we could wear for him.

He started to show interest on tv. His favourite Disney series are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Hi-5.
Jamie loves to listen to songs and dance to the tune.

Jamie tends to be an observer when with people. He does not talk much with others but at home he can be very babbling and noisy. He has a mind of his own. He can be bossy and demand everyone's attention. But we love him every bits!

And last week we brought him to his 1st ever beach outing!! He was afraid of the sand and waves at 1st but after that he was at ease and enjoy his 1st beach outing and staycation.

Our princess is 9!

Our princess is celebrating her birthday today. She has grown and mature so fast that I feel that I am getting old. She is like a little sister to me, loves to cuddle, kiss and stick to my side when ever she can.

She has grown to be sensitive and sensible girl. Still has the passion for music and arts. She enjoys her piano lesson and whenever she is free, she will draw. A way to express herself.

She is also a good sister to both Jay and Jamie. She is closer to Jay as they are just 3 years apart. Play, share, argue, and fight together. As with Jamie, she is attentive to him. Jamie loves to be around her and always go into her room while he will look for Jay when he wants a playmate.

Princess loves her own privacy. She has her own room, own stuff and secrets. She loves to dress up and be pretty. Never bored in posing in front of camera. A true candid in photo shoots.

Happy birthday, Princess Jan. You are the rose of our home. We love you.

1st Sunday school

Jamie's first time attending Sunday school today. He was super excited and wondering what the event was about.

He minded his own business while others were quiet listening to the teaching.

Each of them was in different classes and I have to accompany Jamie. Jan and Jay were doing fine in their respective groups.

Again he was busy doing his own exploration. When it comes to food time, he was fast to get a chair and eat his food.

Glad he enjoyed his first Sunday school.

Good Friday in a mall

Went to The Spring for a walk and shopping this morning. Big J's cousin and niece tagged along too.

A nice Easter decoration there.

Having a blogger mom + my thought

One thing about having a blogger as a mom? I got documented since birth to every milestones and birthdays.

I am going to be 19-months old in less than 2 weeks time.

I have always been a feisty baby but most of the times, curiosity gets the better of me. I never say never to anything till I try it.

I am headstrong, stubborn and has a temper of a bull, mummy said. And I also love to scream. Mummy said I have a very high-pitch shriek that could shatter the glasses! But I know deep inside, I am my mummy's boy.

Next year, I will be going to school, mummy told me. Guess I have been too naughty or disobedient at home and mummy want to send me off to school. But I would be happy to meet new friends, socialise and learn more things in school.

For now, mummy is home-schooling me but most of the times, I never listen to her. Prefer to play with balls and blocks than those ABC and 123. But I like to doodle whenever I can grab a pencil.

I also started to be potty-trained. Still not able to aim properly into the potty and I prefer to wet the floor. Not in time to reach the potty.

My birthday is 5 months away. Wonder anything special on my birthday? We shall find out.
