Colouring is fun

Milestone: Colour within the lines

After weeks of practising her strokes, Kayla has better grip control. She is able to draw straight lines & colour nicely within the lines :)




Well done !!

Little diary is 1

Exactly one year ago, I started a blog to document my children's precious moments & have also inspired some of my friends/cousin to do so. Its a great way to keep in touch !

I'd wish I have documented my pregnancies, birth stories and my breastfeeding journey!

Oh well..

Same fate !

Aiyo, jie jie has the same fate as Kieran !!!

Hate summer and I hate the mozzies that keep attacking my children. Of all places, their eyelids!! Thank God for fly/mozzie (window) screens in my new house !

Playgroup @ Rachel's

Aunty Rachel invited us to her place for breakfast. Aunty Valerie & little Zac were there too. Its a pity we cant organise such gatherings on a weekly basis due to different schedules.





Little Eleanor & Zac.

Xin Nian Kuai Le

Its really depressing to be away from home during CNY. No holidays, no celebration, no yummy cookies & bak kua !!!

Coincidentally, 26th January is Australia day (National day). There will be a big celebration at Bicentennial park (free children's rides, face painting, live music, pony rides & outdoor movie!). So we will be celebrating Xin Nian Kuai Le the Australian way! Ha Ha!!

Anyway, this was what we received from gong2 & popo ! Xie Xie !!!

My frowning princess

Recently, Kayla frowns to show she is upset/angry.

This morning, she accidentally spilt her cup of milk and I scolded her for being so careless. It was a big mess. I had to clean the table, floor and the legs of the chairs. I was so preoccupied with the cleaning, I din respond to her apologies.

And she FROWNED for a long time !!

It was such a amusing sight that I had to swallow my anger & take a photo of her expression. Ha ha ha!!!

Ikan billis fried rice

This was the first dish my mother in law cooked when daddy brought me to his house for the first time, and I love this dish ever since !

Its so easy to prepare! It is made up of cucumber, eggs, chillis, tomatoes, onions and ikan billis of course.


I've packed some for daddy to bring to work tomorrow & the rest (no chillis added) will be enjoyed by me & the kids.

Long summer evening

During summer, the sun sets at about 8.30pm. After dinner, we brought the kids to the outdoor playground just opposite our apartment. It was quite cooling today & it felt like autum already !!





Photos taken at 8pm. Still so bright !!

Eric Carle books

Kayla loves Eric Carle books and I enjoy reading them to her too ! Very meaningful & interesting!

This is his all time popular title "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" (Learn to count with the Caterpillar and learn about its life cycle.)




The other titles Kayla has are:


A chameleon's antics with colour, shape and size show what makes each animal different and why its important to be yourself.


The bad-tempered ladybird picks fights with every animal it meets but soon learns the importance of friends.

Kindermusik

We went for Kindermusik demo class this morning. There were about 9 children between 18mths to 3yrs old. Kayla was good and Kieran? He was distracted by the coloured chart on the wall behind us most of the time. But when it was time to clap, hop & play with the rhythm sticks, he was all attentive!

We look forward to attend all the 16 lessons with them!
