Mummy back in action soon

Time files, Mummy is gg back to work next mon, maternity rest have come to an end. Is always the case, good & happy time passed very fast :) Both kids logistics have been resolved, am happy to see JQ happy to go CC every morning and have been eating & sleeping well there. ZQ is well taken care by Susan hence I will be able to go to work worry free.

Aunty Annie is doing well in St Luke, her maid is here learning how to take care of her once she master it she will be able to discharge and go home.

ZQ is getting cuter each day, here some pics of her @ 3.5mths

JQ in CC

Time flies, it have been 1mth since I switch him to Full day CC. He was getting better at least this wk he did not refused going school (Crossing my fingers & toes this will keep going). He did not cry when I walked him to school or have teary eyes when I pick him up end of the day! My boy is just like me so emotional, deep inside his heart he is so happy to see me picking him up but can't control his feelings so ended up I also feel like crying when fetching him. I can tell he's more settle, he can sleep and at times he will request to have 2nd round of serving for his lunch. I'm so happy and glad to hear this from his teacher :)

I like his CC K1 & K2 classroom as they are seperated from those playgroup and nusery class. This allow the learning environment to be more conducive. Only the curriculum will be more basic kind but I will know more in details coming Dec as they are having K1 & K2 curriculum sharing session with parents. The principal update me the special child Kylie will be moving with them to K1 next yr and I raise my concern on worrying the teaching will be distrupted or interrupted as teacher need to pay extra attention to Kylie beside the class. She reassured me next yr his teacher will be a senior teacher who have 14yrs experience and will be able to manage the class well. Reason why school make this decision is because she will be 7yrs old next yr and the age gap between her and the nursery toddlers will be big. Besides this the newly promoted nursery class need to get use to her and she need to readjust while she is already settle in boy's class. The special school Kylie is attending have encourage her to mix with normal child to aid her learning. Next yr she will be in the CC for half a day and goes to her special school in the afternoon.

Some backgroud on Kylie - a sweet girl who is normal looking but can't really speak. She goes to special school in the afternoon at 3pm. A harmless little girl who just sit beside teacher and follow whatever the children do in class. She still wear diaper and will only point to things she want, got difficulty in speech. Quite heartache when I first saw her, I was a mother too so I know how her mother feels. Postive thinking will tell me it will be good JQ mixed with her so I can let him knows not everyone is the same like him so fortunate. Recently he like to follow Kylie bite his nails. I told him Kylie is a special child, she don't know biting nails is unhygienic hence she do it. It will a challenge for me to teach and guide him the proper ways to prevent wrong learning in school.

As for Kinderland, I called up ask what queue number I was at and OMG I was #10. Think I wait long long bah. Now I did not think much, will only consider and make a choice if Kinderland calls. Recently there is unhappy indcident between Kinderland and a forum mummy not too sure what actually happened since we are just outsiders and not real party involving in this incident. Always believe there is 2 side to a coin hence don't listen only to one part of the story, who don't side themself right?

I will continue his phonics class at Tulip Montessori as I find he's able to read many words and also can make up the pronunication of some word he don't know which is quite close to the correct sound. Am considering him to learn Chinese next yr either Tien Hsia or Tulip still not decide.

Example of his Reading in short vowels
tom has ten hens on his lap
tim can hop and jot a lot
the lad has a fan and a yam
sam met ben in bus
bob has a job on a jet
an ant has a bag on the web

Some of his Phonics notes :

I'm 3mths old

I'm 3mths old today on Children's Day. I'm a very happy baby who enjoyed laughing and always bring a smile to daddy & mummy. I will show playful smile to daddy & mummy even in the midnight when they changing diaper for me. I liked to sit in my bouncer or lie on my playgym to daydream. Cry only when I want milk, sleep or carry. Don't really like to drink milk as I prefer to have my beauty sleep. I can stretch till 5/6 hrs and cry for the next feed. I will get angry if being forced to drink, will struggling to turn my head left & right, use my tongue to push the bottle teat to one side or refuse to open my mouth. Daddy and Mummy always say I'm naughty girl.

I was taken care by Aunty Susan in the day and daddy at night. Mummy occasionally will do night duty if Daddy is tired. Wkend will be mummy in day so daddy can have good rest and night will be daddy again. Don't know is it daddy have been taking care of me nightly, I seem to be always looking for daddy. Daddy's voice can calm me down while crying and rock me to sleep while in sarong. Alot of ppl says daughter are closer to daddy and ah ma once mentioned before daughter are daddy previous life lover.

ZQ & me

Have been taking care of my lil gal for 2 wks since aunty left. Kind of settle down according to her routine. Being sleep deprived sometimes really drive me crazy especially when she was wailing loudly. ZQ have been quite 'ok' baby but also with the help of little assistant like pacifier and sarong. Initially I have been carrying and patting her to sleep but her eyes can open widely staring at you for hrs especially after her night feed. It can be really tiring as she will finally settle down to sleep at 11 or even 12 midnight. Got no choice but to introduce the little assistant to make things easier as a HAPPY BABY = HAPPY MUMMY

Our daily routine goes like this :
7-7.30am - feed ZQ and prepare JQ for school. Go back to Zzzz
9am - I will wake up and have my bf and prepare her bath
10am - ZQ will wake up for next feed, I will feed her after her bath
11am - ZQ go to sleep, I will quickly do the washing
12pm - Have a quick lunch
1pm - Wait for ZQ to wake up for next feed
2pm - ZQ go back to sleep after feed
2-5pm - my free time so sometimes will serve net, if not I will take a short nap
5-6pm - Feed ZQ and clean her
6pm - Prepare dinner
7pm - Daddy & JQ back home
7-8pm - Have dinner, play with ZQ if she's not sleeping and entertaining JQ
9pm - Prepare JQ to sleep and feed ZQ
10pm-12pm - Can be coaxing ZQ to sleep before I finally close my eyes for good rest
2-3am - Nite feeding
5-7am - Another feeding

This is how I spent my maternity leave at home which I feel not a "job" I liked as I prefer to go back to work.

Wildfulness = a sign of growing up

Wildfulness = A sign of growing up? I think is true ....

Example 1
Mummy : JQ, pls don't jump on bed
JQ: Mummy, I want jump!

Example 2
Mummy: Raise her voice at JQ
JQ: Mummy，不要这样大声！

Example 3
Mummy: JQ pls don't do that!
JQ: Mummy I want do that!

[Capture from babycentre]
Your toddler rapidly develops a sense of being a separate independent person with personal rights, preferences and ploys. She no longer sees herself as part of you, so she no longer easily accepts your total control over her life. She wants to assert herself and it is right that she should do so. Her "wilfulness" is a sign that she is growing up and that she feels secure enough to try to manage things for herself.

**Angry**

Recently I liked to act angry with mummy when she came back from work. As usual, mummy came back home and start calling me ... I will fold my arm, act angry with mummy and walked inside bedroom. Sitting on the bed, frown my face with angry face.

Mummy: Bi, why angry?
JQ: Angry with mummy lor
Mummy: Why angry with mummy?
JQ: Angry lor

BIG BIG TROUBLE!!!

I caused a big trouble yesterday and hurt myself when playing with my car car inside the room. I'm sitting on my car and trying to get the whole car up on to the bed but who knows the whole car turn backwards and I got myself bang into the wardrobe beside it!!! NEXT ... glasses smashed I shouted loudly. Daddy & Mummy rushed in & was astonished to see what happened. They quickly get me out of the smashed glasses and check my head for serious injury.

Daddy quickly ordered mummy bring me to toilet to remove all the shattered glasses on my head. Mummy hand was shivering and I was very lucky to suffer only slight cut on my head. Mummy cried as she can't imagine anything worst with glasses got thru my head or cut my face.

Future, bicylce & car will be FORBIDDEN into all rooms.
