It's the Holidays!

Hey, hey! It's the holidays!!

Term 2 - Tutti Fruitti!

To mark the end of the term, Aunties N and RZ sent us home with the fruitti crafts, which have kept us so busy in class.

Check out my chic watermelon handbag...

Up, up and away!

So, part of the reward package for being so grown up about riding the bus to school was the promise that we'd go kite-flying! Yippee!

Got my Dora kite - check! Got Mummy's 30year old vampire kite - check! Off we go! Up, up and away! What a wonderfully breezy day! Still would love a sexybom, Dad.

Progress Report & Parent-Teacher Conference

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a year since I started school.
School progress reports were doled out today. And next Friday, Mummy's due for a conference with Aunties N and RZ about my development in school.

Here's what my report said, in short -
- cheerful, bubbly and well-behaved
- participates actively in class activities
- attentive and responsive during lessons
- enjoys music and movement activities and story-telling
- loves make-believe play when we have dramatic activities
- helpful towards her teachers and peers
- interacts and plays well with her friends

Edited on 15 May to add: At PTC, Mummy was proud to hear my teachers say that I was such a joy to have in class, setting an example of acceptance of all my classmates through being extra caring and helpful to whoever was in need at the time.

Mummy and Daddy are just glad that I've adjusted well to being in school and socialising with other kids my age.

The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round!

Big girl on the bus at last!
For the past (nearly!) half year, I've not exactly been cooperative in going to school on the school bus. My demands are simple - gong gong must drive me to school, watch me put my bag, water bottle notebook etc in the slots and then settle down before I dismiss him with a hug and say, "Thanks gonggong, you can go now."

Going home from school is a different story though. I'm perfectly alright riding in the bus all the way home, knowing that mama will be waiting there for me!

Yesterday, I made the slip of promising Aunty N in school that I'd take the bus on my own to school from today on. I'm a girl of my word, so here goes nothing -

Mummy, Daddy, gonggong and mama are all ever so proud of my new found independence - that they've been heaping the praises and raining hugs and kisses on me all day long. Guess I'm a big girl afterall!

In other news - Daddy has promised me my very own sexybom! (see previous post) Just for riding on the bus - Woohoo!

And a trumpet too!

"Mama, please can you buy me a sexybom?"
"Mama, will you buy me a sexybom, please?"
"Mama, I'm a good girl - can I have a sexybom, please?"

And so I went for almost an entire week, every afternoon, I'd be asking mama for one.
Sob... mama did not seem to be able to figure out what on earth a "sexybom" was.

Thank goodness Mummy came to my rescue - with her professionally-honed child interrogation technique. The adults finally figured out what I wanted - no prizes for guessing - as I told Mummy - "It's a musical instrument, Mummy. Oh, and I want a trumpet too!" :)
