Children's Day celebration

Joshua's kindergarten celebrated Children's Day and its annual Sports Day this morning. It was like a carnival with food and drinks on sale at the school compound. The atmosphere reminded me of a fun fair a few years back at my previous work place...the crowd, the parents, the pupils, the noise, the mood, the fun & the fair...blah blah blah...

I was 'invited' ( again!) by joshua's English teacher to be a parent volunteer for today's event. My main task was to look after joshua & his classmates while teachers had their race, and to get the kids ready for the race. Luckily, the weather was very cooperative after a shower this morning.
There wasn't much shade though, but not much sun either.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!

D.I.M

D.I.M - Do it myself...

Joshuaboy peeing without my help.

The other day i saw him pulled down his brief, lifted up the potty cover, sat on the potty trying to pee ( hahaha...u must be thinking why sit, not stand?) I thought that he was sitting down. But he stood up, held on to the handles by the side, and pee. After that, he tried to put on his brief. That still needed my assistance. He only managed to pull up to cover his front. This scenario was repeated this afternoon. Good job, joshuaboy! You have shown mahmmyboy & pappy that you have grown up. One more thing, I realise that he has better bladder control now.

Teachers' Day celebration 31-08-09

joshuaboy performed, together with his classmates, at the school's mini concert for the teachers.

Pappy always likes to call him names such as 'silly truck'. This video clip will show him that his so-called ' truck' can sing & dance, not so 'silly'...

tongs & chopsticks

First time i let joshuaboy use tongs. I would say not a bad attempt. Most importantly, I can see that he enjoyed this 'game'.

After that, he proceeded with chopsticks. But stopped after a short while, and to his favourite couch...watching dvd...

2319

What was joshuaboy doing at 2319 (11.19pm) one night?

When i checked on him,he said, "zhuo Bob..."
He was piecing together 'Bob the Builder' puzzle.

That puzzled me...

Joshua is 3!

Had a simple birthday celebration for joshuaboy last sat (5th Sep) at our own place.

Mahmmyboy bought a 'Thomas & Friends' playhouse for joshuaboy last year. I was cracking my head what to get for him this year. Finally, i decided to bake a cake for his birthday. I don't know how to bake cakes nor pastries stuffs. Thus seek help from my childhood friend who can bake just like a professional. However, she was ill and could not teach me. Luckily, auntie serene neo came to my rescue. She spent one friday evening teaching me the basics & the hows & ....baking a cake. Since i do not have baking instinct, she decided to teach me a sure-can-succeed cake, which is brownie. She was very helpful to call me on thurs nite (3rd sep), offered her help again the following nite. With her help & baking fingers, joshuaboy's birthday cake was 'borned' on 4th sep, 630pm.

My guests were impressed with my idea & effort. Pappy was elated that nite & i heard him keep mentioning something like "...my wife bake one..." "...very nice..." Thanks pappy!

Happy Birthday, Joshuaboy! You are 3!
