Bowling

There is a mini bowling alley for kids at Orchid Bowl at Downtown East. It seemed to be the only place in Singapore which offered miniature bowling balls and pins for kids. We were quite lucky that the kids' lanes weren't occupied when we were there. The kids had a rolling good time as they were able to play about 10 games, uninterrupted.

Looking at the scoreboard. Jaden: I need to do better.

Hmm...Jaden needs to work on his delivery style.

Cry no more

I'm proud to say that Lynette has adjusted to childcare and doesn't really cry when we dropped her off at the centre. All it took were two weeks and a few wailing sessions. 

I think the turning point came when one of the teachers said that the cat on her shirt is very cute and she looked "美美" during the morning temperature checks. Lynette beamed at the comment and pointed at herself saying "美美". Such a mini vainpot :P

That's is. That day, she went into her class without any struggles and with a big smile too.

Happy 4th Birthday!

It's Jaden 4th birthday! As usual, we had early celebrations in school. We didn't have any party for him this year but we will probably plan for one when he turns 5.

On his actual birthday, we brought him to SingKids, a pretty new indoor Playground at Vivo City. It's quite a small playground but i think it is more suited for younger kids, as opposed to those playgrounds with lots of climbing.

And, we round off the day with a ice cream treat for Jaden. Happy Birthday, Jaden!

Lynette's First Day in Childcare

Like many others, Lynette started her first day in childcare today. (She is in Toddler class.) Parents are allowed to accompany the kids for the first three days and hence, there is no major meltdown from her :) Friday will be the big 'test' for her. She was a little shy and apprehensive initially but she soon warmed up after exploring the classroom and the toys.

Lynette, however, did cry after all. That happened when a teacher tried to bring her to the toilet to wash her hands. She started wailing when she realized that the teacher was not the teacher from her class. Other than this incident, she was quite participative in class, joining in for some ball play and singing.

But Jaden was too 'excited' at his sister being in the same school as him that he skipped his own class and kept wanting to gatecrash the Toddler class. I have much a hard time getting him out of the class as he will try to slip into Lynette's class when he sees any 'window of opportunity'.

Since it was her first day in school, we took Lynette home after the morning session. Look how tired she is. And she dozed off once we reached home.

Back again after a hiatus

It's a new year! I just realized that I haven't been updating the blog for the past two months. A couple of factors contributed to this... work, busy, tired, no time etc. 

Hmm.. it seemed rather meaningless to catch up on old posts now. I shall simply start anew from here then :)

However, I did create a collage two months back but never got to posting it. Shall post it up now. See how much my little Lynette has grown.
