Meet-the-Parents

Its the time of the year again for parents to meet teachers to talk about Yuezuan's performace and progress in school. YZ's progress and performance were quite satisfactory, especially since she was away from school for quite some time during the first 6 months of this year. Below are the comments by her teachers:

For my dear Yuezuan: Keep up the good work and strive for better performance. Mama know that you can do better =)

ZaiMei's First Day @ Childcare

Zaimei started childcare on 19 June 2012. Her first day at school was quite peaceful, with only a few occasional crying. She was able to eat and sleep well as her sister, Yuezuan kept her company for the day. She seems to enjoy herself as she did not want to let go of the toy she was playing when I went to fetch her. =D

YZ & ZM Progress

Too many things are happening at the same time that I hardly got time to update on YZ and ZM 's progress for a long time....

YZ is already 33 months now and her progress are quite good so far. She is better able to communicate with people, only that still quite shy when faced with people she do not really know and needs time to warm up. She is getting more cheeky and expressive of whats on her mind. She can be really good and naughty as times but overall she is still ok. Just hope that she can eat her meals better and not be so picky about foods.

ZM is already 14 months now and she has made quite alot of progress. She is able to express herself more verbally now by uttering more words like 谢谢,还要, some more, good nite, etc. She can also call YZ 大姐. She is still climbing all over and falling all over too...heehee =D Nowadays she will take a story book by herself and sit somewhere to 'read' the book. But most of all, she knows how to look after her sister - when she drinks water, she will also take YZ's bottle to her and drink together or whenever YZ gets scolding she try and do something to distract....haahaa =)

Sisterly Love

P/S: 妈妈 is proud of both of you. Do keep up all the good work but keep those not so good ones at bay, yeah?! I love you both =*

Jan/Feb 2012

This year begins with lotsa things to do and changes to make and adjust - clearing up personal items and shifting to my parent's new place. The kids were really happy with the new changes, esp. the new house where they can run around more freely =)
