It's been a long while since we last had a birthday party for Abel. His last was his first birthday which obviously he had no collection of. Since this is his last year of kindergarten, we thought we shall just throw a party to gather his classmates and mums whom I hardly caught up with ever since number 3 came along and have some fun. Nothing beats running amok in a playscape. So here's the simple party at Kids Amaze Toa Payoh to kick start the school year 2014 on 1 January. The party room was nice and big for the kids to freely roam but it's not the draw to keep them in. The hit was out there in the maze to work them all out!</div>

It's really great to see how he played along with the rest. They were moving so fast that it was terribly hard to catch clear pictures of them. Anyway we were busy with the organisation that we hardly see much of the play but their faces tell us that it's a whale of a time out there.<br />

It's the first Mid Autumn celebrations at school. There were loads of activities but also loads of people that many of the hands-on ones ran out really quick with long queues of students in wait. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keziah had her lantern from recycled materials displayed. The kids had fun with their lanterns, especially Mei Mei who didn't care less about people around and went happily toddling around with her little lantern.</div>

The kids managed to get their hands on making tang yuan after a long queue. They had wanted to make moon cake but the materials were all out. Here's Keziah with one of her good friends from the class.<br />

We also managed to make a Chinese knot keychain at the Old Sports Hall. One thing I must say, the Old Sports Hall was simply too hot and stuffy that the wait was almost unbearable.<br />

We didn't get much time to play games or such. If we were to ever come again for such an event, it's a definite to be early!<br /><br />Joaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10286648101490505121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060326.post-68668233942057514942013-08-18T23:35:00.000+08:002013-10-02T00:00:56.235+08:00Keren's TWO<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time flies so quickly to see how little Keren has grown. From a baby that has difficulty putting on weight to now our chubby toddler who is such a fan of food, speaking so much, stringing together sentences that makes a whole load of sense, imitating us in every way, singing her abc and counting her numbers just weeks before she turned two. It was ever heartwarming to hear her say "Thank you Mummy" when you get things for her, "love you" on occasions, "sorry" when she knows that she has done wrong and "excuse me" at times. The most lovable is still how cuddly she still is, something that we all missed now with the other two and her bear hug and cheek rub (when we say kiss, ok she still doesn't kiss us with her lips).</div>

It was a simple family gathering to celebrate her birthday. Mommy had deliberately got her cute marshmallow pops to brighten up her cake. However, it was an eventful one with Daddy dropping to cake minutes before leaving the house to Ta Ta's place. We had to rushed down to get another one.<br />

Yes, it's her very first indulgence in such sweet stuff. She was totally enjoying every bit of the marshmallow pop rather than the cake. God bless you!<br />

What started out just as a project to kick start the school year and out of fun turned out to be more than what we asked for. Keziah's toy was selected together with 5 others from the school to receive the National Sony Creative Science Award. Aside from having to first present it to a panel in school at the school level competition, she had to later face a panel at Science Centre for the National round. We were so thankful she was able to have such an experience at this young age and counting our blessings once again.</div>

She too had her first hair cut by Mommy just 2 weeks before Chinese New Year at about 17.5 months. A little too short but nonetheless Mommy's maiden trim for her and only her as I never did it for the other kids. Daddy said she looked like playmobil!</div>

Something we noticed about her amazing motor skill was that she started to undress herself when suited in a full suit for the night. Can't remember exactly when it started, whether it was 17 or 18 months, she started to unbutton herself and even take off her diaper! As we usually let her settle herself to bed in the cot, we found her half naked after she fell asleep! Something the other two never did! Each child is just so unique.</div>

Emotive as she now also seeks for attention. She is no longer satisfied sitting on my lap while I read to the older two. She will grab a book and insist I read to her. She will smack her siblings if she doesn't get what she wants or that they are playing with what she likes. Yes, a very insistent girl in doing things her way. Guess the discipline starts. Amazingly she knows where the quiet corner is from watching the older two.Thus, she will run to it when we tell her that she had not obeyed and naughty though not trying there for more than 10 sec. She will protest a great time and kick on the floor when we put her in the play yard and start throwing every toy out. Terrible twos ahead.</div>

We slept till we all stirred naturally. For a change, we didn't go to the zoo as we always did for the past 2 years. We headed this time to the beach for sand and water play!</div>

We kicked start the day with our favorite Carl's Junior for breakfast!</div>

Well, Daddy decided to just let her try some 'real' food and gave her a hash brown. The very first time taking fast food. The verdict. Oooooo….all too good…"why I had to wait so long for this?" Thereafter as all who expect, she didn't want her biscuits anymore.<br />

At 15 months, our little girl is ever so full of energy. She has been running and dashing around ever since she got on her feet at 13+ months. She's definitely a keen observer, doing what the older 2 do. She's quite a daring one too, didn't even squirm when we put her on the swing. In fact, she enjoyed the ride. Her voice is also getting really loud. Is that a trait of this household?</div>

She loves dogs too…Never fail to alert us of their presence. To our surprise, she was daring enough to touch one. When we visited grandaunt, she simply approached the big Labrador that was lazing in the living room. Little did we expect she could stretch her hands out to touch it.<br />

She loves to scribble on her writing board. We noticed that compared to the other two, she was using her left hand a great deal more. Whenever given an object, she would pass it to the left hand even if we had given her in her right. A lefty?<br />

Her comprehension is far more than what I expected. Pulling at my pants when I am preparing to go pick Keziah, indicating she wants to go along. Pointing to her shoes to tell you to put it on. Cover her mouth when she cough after she heard me telling the older kids to do so after only one encounter. She remembers and repeats every time she coughs or when there's something on her mouth. Once in awhile she will remember to sign "thank you" when you accede to her request of food. Just so amazing watching her.</div>

Just two of us...It's amazing how time flies. We haven't ever had a trip off on our own since Keziah was born. In fact, the last was to Australia when I was 6 months pregnant! Can't help feeling so excited about this trip of time alone just two of us but yet there's always that lingering thought of how the kids were.<br />
<br />
There's of course an agenda on this trip…to celebrate the union of our best friend from university days!<br />
<br />
A nice little cuppa before we took off...<br />

Keren was in no way on her own. She wants to do everything her siblings do. Insisting on the stick that her brother had, she started to do likewise to write on the sand. Certainly, sand is not her favorite texture as she kept looking at her hands and dusting them. Despite so, she continued at her task.</div>

We assembled at the hall and had a walk through of an English class and recess time. These days, kids were just so vocal and most have no qualms in answering the teacher's question during the mock up class.<br />

Recess time, the canteen was teeming with students and parents. Parents were all tailing behind their little ones to make sure they knew how to get their food. The kids sat according to their classes and most were sitting quietly eating with little chatter. Guess the noise will start ringing once they are more familiar with each other.<br />

<b>Walking</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was just 2 weeks ago when our little one was on her fours. She did take at most 5 steps wobbling on her own at time but back on her fours she preferred. On 12 October, a week before 14 months, she finally declared that was enough. Walking was more fun. In fact, running is even better, given space constraint.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Signing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had been signing quite a bit at home and now she's quite good at it. She has learned to sign meaningfully bye bye, please, thank you, sorry, no…Initially, thought it didn't work coz for her, we didn't put her to watch "The Baby Signing Time" as the other two did. Mummy just tried signing in her everyday conversation with her. She's finally picked it up. Interestingly, she knows how to shake her head to indicate 'no' but not nod her head to agree yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's also very hilarious at times when she shows us what sleep is all about when we asked her to take her naps.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Speech and comprehension </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I must say this little one is a real feisty one. She definitely has great big lungs to make herself her, either in defense or in frustration. It's as if she's telling "don't meddle with me", a real chill padi. She's simply blabbering loads of gibberish beyond my understanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One thing I noticed, though she can't speak in proper, she knows what we want! Whether she follows though, it's another thing.<br />
<br />

Time sure flies…each day we just see her do new things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She loves dashing around in her walkers and taking a ride on her brother's McQueen. She's still not learnt to move forward but simply enjoying going backwards in the car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlfwqPRziNZOJnFcyhgC_kVYyvgRjmfLBYiUn4IYzoGQcApTCQ7Zz5H9o0OwFAljXdIvPAQ4gqHN0_FiX_d-NjfxrLEnaX0-oklSFOeWN4f9R_dAgutlN3Vf8b3Gf7c0zMpKRhw/s1600/2012-09-09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlfwqPRziNZOJnFcyhgC_kVYyvgRjmfLBYiUn4IYzoGQcApTCQ7Zz5H9o0OwFAljXdIvPAQ4gqHN0_FiX_d-NjfxrLEnaX0-oklSFOeWN4f9R_dAgutlN3Vf8b3Gf7c0zMpKRhw/s320/2012-09-09.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
She's certainly very creative in problem solving. Now that she's found her legs not just to stand or cruise, she's using them to climb! Today we saw her standing on her books and toy to help prop herself higher with the attempt to escape out of the play yard at the start of the month.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now she has progressed to finding a 'seat' for herself while she plays. We even witness her moving her 'seat' to where she wants.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

She's climbing now onto boxes to get what she wants. No fear!</div>

We had been playing with blocks for awhile one day she surprised me by stacking up 3 blocks and within the next 2 days she did 5 blocks.<br />

She's pretty good at pretend play. She must have seen too much of her brother lying on this cushion to drink milk that when we showed her this cushion, she lies down to pretend to sleep.<br />

She's showing us how to talk on the phone. She definitely understands our words a lot better now. This means at times she will test us and attempt to do what we ask her not to and give us that cheeky look.</div>

Each day, Keren gets steadier with better control of her motor skills. She's also asking for more attention and being in the play yard alone won't satisfy her. Mommy tries to occupy her with as much of age suitable toys.</div>

Playing puzzles though she most of the time just take out the pieces and throws them everywhere. She has not developed the motor skills to piece the pieces back. However, she's more keen to explore her brother's toys, ransacking boxes to see what's in it. Haha…caught red handed here.</div>

Thank God there are quiet times when she will sit down and flip the books. These days, she has her favorite books. Yet when Mommy sits down during her free time to read to her, she would crawl away or simply just take another book after a few pages. She starts to say 'book' and finds one when we ask her for one.</div>

Well, I wasn't quite prepared for holidays. Being a Stay At Home Mom has made me realize homemaking is such an arduous job, worse than teaching. Every moment is full of something to do, be it washing, cleaning, cooking, coaching the kids, playing with baby and a whole lot more. There's never much time to think. However, looking back, we were almost out every day of the week despite Daddy being in reservice! Looking back, we actually revisited many of these places we had went before when they were much younger.</div>

Holidays kicked start with the long requested visit to the Night Safari. We went together with the children's school bus mate which mad the trip even more enjoyable for the kids. Sometimes, it's really the company that counts.</div>

Monday, we went for Alice in Wonderland show at United Square. It was a real big boo coz there was no show at noon due to some organized tea party. So we went to Nei Nei's place to take a nap before returning for the afternoon show. Surprisingly there were not many people and we even had a photoshoot with the cast.</div>

Tuesday, we went to the zoo with our church mate. Seriously, I was thinking of aborting the plan coz Keziah didn't sleep much of a wink the night before, waking up at 2 am, complaining of a pain in the left cheek. It did look a little swollen. I tried to sweep it aside and ask her to get some sleep but she just didn't and continue to whine till I gave her a dose of Neurofen before she settled down. We did see a doctor the next morning and he diagnosed it as mumps. Somehow still the impetus of going to the zoo seem to dull the pain and she still insisted on going. So we went.</div>

Wednesday, it was off the the airport to try out the new play area, The Canopy. Seriously, it's far to small to interest me in paying for it. Since I had it free, why not?</div>

Nothing beats the play area and sand. Though they really wanted water play, I just wasn't keen to get wet. However, I must say the water play area was a little disappointing. Not as great as before.</div>
