Bye Daddy! Have fun!
Out with Xiaoyi
We had dinner together with 小姨, Daryl Uncle and baby Justin. Kaelyn is surprised that Justin smiled at her when she say hello to him..so happily she poised a picture with Justin
When Justin had to change his diaper, she refused to leave... wanting to stay on and on....

Dinner at Marché
We were pleasantly surprised to find a nice kids corner at Marché @ 313 Somerset.
After much persuasion, Kaelyn finally settled down for dinner. There's set menu for children as well. This is Spanish Seafood rice with a fresh apple juice.
Meet Parent Session
Kaelyn's school has come up with a 24-page booklet to show the child's progress at school. There are 3 competency levels - (1) Not Yet (2) Sometimes (3) Often.
She has obtained mostly "Sometimes" in the observation booklet. Only 1 item that Kaelyn has obtained "Not Yet" ie. I can bounce a ball in place and catch it with both hands.

10. I show confidence when participating in classroom activities
11. I can understand and follow classroom procedures

13. I can turn my body in different directions
14. I can put on and take off my clothes

Piggy-Back
Other than offers from Daddy & Mummy, Kaelyn would usually say no to those who offer to piggy-back her...When 外公 offered her, she said yes...surprised!!

Magazine Front Cover Contest
Kaelyn and mummy took part in the front cover contest... looking at the pictures, i doubt we'll stand a chance... hahaha... just won ourselves a free (erm.. Feb) magazine, some vouchers and 2 free photo print-out..
Anyway, i felt that they could have done it a more creative way... to let children warm up or let loose, instead of a high chair with a back drop like this..I observed that some children are not comfortable to even give a little smile!!
After the take, we pass by a shop with a small ball pool.. and Kaelyn had a fun time in this shop.. If only the magazine front cover contest have this kinda setup...

Improvement in Writing
Mmmm.. a sudden improvement in her writing...A sloppy job for letter O but look at letter P..
Puzzle Fun
Kaelyn enjoys playing the puzzle by herself... she proudly show off her crab, aeroplane and house..
New Helper at Home
A new helper at home... she is none other than Kaelyn. She helped mummy to fold clothes...Kaelyn helped with the easiest ones like the towels and handkerchief. It may not be the neatest job done but mummy did not mine at all. Mummy praised her for the good job and keep the towels the way she had folded them.
朗读
We were wondering what was "Zu guo 的娃娃”... after clarifying with teacher, it is suppose to be “祖国的娃娃“... mmm..
Phonics Update
Kaelyn enjoyed the GUG classes very much and always look forward to the next class. She will tell mummy today she had learnt letter P and next week, Teacher Aze will be teaching her letter Q. Every week Teacher Aze will emphaise on 1 alphabet but will go through all the 26 alphabets. She has already mastered all the sounds of A-Z.
When mummy tested her on a few simple 3-alphabet words eg. but, dog, cat, bag, top, bus, lip etc... she will be able to slowly spell out these words. Here's the conversation:
M: Kaelyn, how to spell dog
K: Say again ...
M: Dog
K: Say it slowly
M: D-O-G (really slowly..)
She will be able to slowly spell the word dog. Amazing!! Mummy is quite impressed!
So here's the sounds of A to R. Kaelyn is supposed to end at P but she continued until R... after the take I ask her why she end at R. She laugh and said "我忘记了..." hahahah.. funny girl!

Trip to East Coast Beach
It is really great to relax and catch some morning sun. We had a tiring but great time at the East Coast Beach.
Kaelyn built some sand castle with her newly made friends and then playing kite with Daddy. Some people came with interesting kites...
This bike has been sitting in the storeroom for a long time... daddy bought this when Kaelyn was still young and finally it has made its way out of the storeroom for the first time.. .hahaha... Same as other children, Kaelyn started with pedalling the bicycle backwards. After a few tries, she is finally able to ride the bicycle... Good job!!
