Furry Elmo

Initially, I was thinking of only doing a plain painting of Elmo..

 

But I saw some red felt that I've bought from Daiso sometimes ago so decided to ask ZY to cut some thin strips and paste..

 

..and the result is a very very furry Elmo!

 

Last Day of Term One

Last Fri is ZY's last day of school for Term One. So I decided to pleats her hair to make her "mei mei". (usually I'll only tie up her hair either in one or two ponytail as we are always rushing for time in the morning)

See quite nice right?

 

ZY also brought back her workbooks and these are some of her works.

 

 

This is ZY's progress report.

 

Frankily speaking, I'm more concern about her learning to play and sharing with others than what she had learned academically. Like I've mentioned earlier, my main purpose for sending ZY to playgroup is to expose her to more kids and learn how to interact in a group. So far so good, her teachers have commented that ZY is very willing to help others and act like a Big Sister to the others. She would even console the little girl who cried for her mummy and be affected emotionally by her crying!

Scissors, Paper, Sponge!

I got this idea when I woke up one day. So decided to give it a try. First I folded a piece of square shaped paper and drew a simple pattern on it. Then I asked ZY to cut out the shape. (she needed me to hold the paper for her and guide her as the paper was a bit thick after folding)

 

After which I put the cut-out pattern on a piece of drawing paper and asked ZY to sponge paint over it. I let her chose the colour for the squares and of course it included one of her favourite color, BLACK!

 

The end result is a kaleidoscope of colours ^_^

 

Little Miss Patriotic

ZY who has been to playgroup since beginning of Jan this year surprised me by able to memorise and say the Singapore's Pledge.



She can also sing the Singapore National Anthem though not as well as the pledge. I've yet to take any video of her singing the National Anthem but will do so once I got it! :D

Splash Park @SSC

We have been wanting to bring ZY to the newly opened Splash Park at Sembawang Shopping Centre for the past couple of weeks, but it always rain in the afternoon. With the fantastic weather today, we gladly hopped over to SSC and let ZY has her first try on playing in a wet playground. I've never let ZY plays in any wet playground before as I'm quite concerned about the cleanliness of the water. However since this is a newly opened playground and the staff assured me that they have installed a filter system, I'm willing to let ZY has a try.

I'm quite surprised that ZY was eager to play in the Splash Park as she did not enjoy her time at the Wild Wild Wet the last time we were there. Even though she complained to me about her hair and face getting wet, she quickly got into gear and was happily washing her hands with the water.

 

 

This is a rather big park and it is definitely bigger than the one at IMM. It also has a big dry playground and a fitness area at another side. Too bad my camera battery went flat before I managed to take any more pics. We will definitely come back soon as ZY really enjoy playing here!

 

From This Day Forward...

Yesterday was our 5th wedding anniversary aka Wooden Wedding. However MW had to attend his company function and so we had a post wedding anniversary celebration today :)

I suggested that we revisit the National Museum of Singapore as we had not been there since they reopened after the major renovation. The last time we've been there was during our "Par Tor" time and we even joined the night tour organised by the museum and had the rare opportunity to climb the infamous spiral staircase to the rooftop.

It's great to be back here, walking and appreciating the exhibits/artifacts leisurely without having to entertain ZY. Hee hee, yup, we left ZY under my mum's care and spent some couple time together today :D We reached the museum about 3p.m. and spend the whole afternoon there, after which we had cheesecake and sandwich at the Novus Cafe situated inside the museum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After spending a highly enriching afternoon at the museum, we ended the day by having our dinner at Sushi Teh in Raffles City. This is one of our favourite restaurant as they served super delicious sushi and hand roll :P

BTW, for the record, MW bought me a LongChamp Tote bag that I've been eyeing for sometime for our wedding anniversary :D

Thanks dear! *muack*

Little Things That Happened....

Many small little things happened during the past one week, but instead of writing individual post for each of them, I think it is more appropriate to lump them up. hee hee..pls don't think I'm just plain lazy ok, it's just that there are nothing much to write for them so I'll just let the photos do the talking :)

ZY got this hat thing from her playgroup's friend Nexis's bday celebration and she decided to wear it and posed for me :)

 

We attended my friend Aivinn's daughter Glenda 2nd Bday last Sunday. ZY loves to play with Jie Jie Cerise & Jie Jie Dyann.

 

As it rains for most of the afternoon last week, we couldn't go to the library or the playground. Hence, we did some crafts at home. This one was made using a string as a brush to paint.
