Is it December already?

Goodness! How time passes by so quickly. I was supposed to write something after my last check up. It's been 4 weeks already and tomorrow I'm going to see Dr. Chen again.

We finally moved to our new place on the 27th of November 2010. I am really happy to have my own family nucleus back to normal. Russell was very attached to my FIL for the last six months, sleeping with my inlaws almost every night. On the first day we were to stay at Katong, he bawled when FIL left our house. I was pretty sad seeing him more attached to FIL than wanting to stay with me. Renee was all for staying at our new place from the beginning. The second night, Russell followed inlaws back home while Renee stayed with us. She just LOVES it! Russell took about two days to adjust and now he is also loving the new place. Phew!

Second day we stayed over, I was "forced" to open the boxes labelled "Toys". Yes, being able to read is good but then when it involves 6 boxes of toys that I had to open after she identified them, that is pretty challenging. It took about 2 hours to open them up and then the whole living room floor was covered in toys!

I still can't believe it's already December. This year seems to have passed by exceptionally quickly.

Write more soon....

Girls in Pinafores

I realise that as a 4 year old, Renee isn't so conscious of wearing a skirt and unknowingly flashing her undies. This is one of the only decent shots I got of her on Chinese Drama presentation day. The rest of the photos aren't really appropriate to display. Plus, I think the kids were kind of alarmed having all these parents, grandparents and siblings suddenly attending Drama class with them. Renee didn't want to sing or dance as readily as she normally does. Zhou lao shi was saying that all the kids didn't behave the way they usually do. Sigh. That was the point that Teacher Margaret brought up to me in a phone call explaining why they didn't have a performance day for English drama. "The children are not trained for acting on stage" she said and I totally agree. Plus all the cameras and video cameras don't help one bit!

I think I only became conscious of wearing a skirt for my school uniform when I was in secondary school. Maturity and also being a co-ed school definitely helped me realise that! So I guess my girl's got some way to go....
