Term 3: Lesson 12 with Little Neuro Tree (TPY) (Mandarin)

As much as I wanted to be punctual for the last lesson, I failed badly today.

I was in the hurry to left home and packed Yvette’s oat into my bag. On my way to school, I wanted to make a call back to hubby and realised the oat was spilled all over my bag.

ARrrrr… I need to clear them immediately. I squatted down at the pathway and started to clear them. Luckily Yvette was well-behaviour. I managed to clear them in less than 10 mins but it resulted we were very very late this round. We missed the first half of the lesson.

Dumb me.

We hardly could concentrate honestly. Luckily the activity they were doing was fruit tasting. And the teacher was giving grape and strawberry. These are all Yvette’s fav. fruits. She ate them happily.

There was an activity taught by the teacher. This activity will pass the idea of jumping to our child. You need to place your child on the chair. You need to use your hand and hold your child thumb and lift them from chair.

I was worry this might hurt Yvette’s arm. The teacher assumed me by telling me at this stage, their arms are stronger than their leg. And if we don’t do it too often, it should be fine.

Emphasize of today session as follows:

1. Stringing
2. 请给我 (May I have?)
3. Dirty/Clean

Since it was already at the end of the term, the teachers supposed to leave a comment on my child’s home support booklet. I just read them and I realised all teachers commented about her motorskills, her interest over song, and her language.

Anyway, goodbye LNT and hope to see you again.

Emphasize of today session as follows:

1. Taste different fruits
2. Money, S$1, 20 cents, 50 cents

Term 3: Lesson 10 with Little Neuro Tree (TPY) (English)

We had late night yesterday. Before we left Suntec, Yvette actually dozed off for an hour. Arr… she was taking power nap now! *FAINT*

So we didn’t rush home then. (Hubby is on his 9/80 off day tomorrow.) We went to my niece work place to pick her after her work then her boyfriend drove us home. When we were home, it was already 10.30 pm. I bathed Yvette and doing all the night routine, by the time she entered her LaLa Land, it was already 11.30 pm.

As such, she only woke up at 10.00 am today. She was still very tired when she was up. I have to bathe her and feed her breakfast before we head for our lesson.

Today is the last lesson of the English class and we were late again. Let me target not to late for the last two classes. (I think very hard. My engine always slows down on Friday.) I didn’t sign up Yvette for the next term.

Emphasize of today session as follows:

1. Smell and taste 5 different types of fruits.
2. Peel off and stick small round stickers to create picture.
3. Practice saying “May I have.”
4. Identify and learn to differentiate 20 cents, 50 cents and a dollar.

I also learnt some techniques on how to say to Yvette when playing puzzle. The teacher taught in such way when we were playing the two pieces puzzle.

“Put this piece into that hole”

Something interesting. “Hole” very true. The broken up part do look like a hole.

After class, we headed to Kiddy Palace to get the Cantonese DVD rhymes recommended by Nic in one of her entry.

Daddy loves this a lot. Definitely will create a special bonding time for the grandpa, daddy & Yvette

Then we proceeded for our Lunch at Kuo-Fu at level two. After lunch, we rushed to the polyclinic as Yvette was having her MMR jab today.

As of 2 days before Yvette turns 16 mth, she weights 8.8 kg, 76 cm tall and 44.5 cm for her head circumstance. She is at 25% percentiles according to the national chart in the health book. A small size baby according to the nurse. She doesn’t grow much in term of her physical size.

She cried for 30 secs when the nurse jab her. This round was on her left arm. Hubby felt as though he was the one having the injection. Nothing serious so far. No fever yet. We were told we will be only expecting fever 4 to 10 days later. Let’s hope Yvette copes well toward this vaccine. (She didn’t have fever for her Chicken Pox vaccine.)

Embracing each other. (I love the effect taken by our new camera.) (Not edited at all)

Term 3: Lesson 9 with Little Neuro Tree (TPY) (Mandarin)

This round, it was me who didn’t feel so well today. I am having serious running nose and block nose since yesterday night and didn’t slept for more than 5 hours. I took a dose of running nose pill, the running nose was gone for good. Although I was very much didn’t want to bring Yvette to class today, we still go in the end. (I didn’t want her to miss it.)

Emphasize of today session as follows:

1. Play with different musical instruments.
2. Practice saying “Here you are” （请拿吧）and “Thank you” （谢谢）
3. Matching numbers.
4. Touching different texture, wooden block, marble and wool

It was raining heavily after class; I went to buy an umbrella and headed home immediately. (I left some clothing handing outside the kitchen. Luckily it wasn’t wet when we reached home.)
