Little Gem is doing quite well in Happy Train. Now she is able to count 1-10 in English. Chinese sometimes ok but quite good already.

In school, everything she wanna do herself first, very unlike her bro style. And if she guess something (memory games) correctly, she will put up her fists in victory... hehe so cute

and end of every song, she will claps hands happily.

Last Sun, I brought the kids out for a short outing in Tiong Bahru, alone... yes alone cos hb was down with fever.... later diagnose to have a mild stomach flu.

This could be my first time bringing them out alone shopping. But well there always a first time...

So I brought them to the car and the moment I wanted to put mei on her chair seat behind, she cried and ask to sit with me. I explained to her she cannot sit with me as I will be driving. I thot it was the end, and all of us got to returned back to the house.

Then I ask her if she could sit in front passenger seat (which gor gor is already sitting on the chidl seat there), she nod her head. (in my mind thinking how to tell gor gor as that is his actually) who knows, the next moment my boy gets down from his seat and move behind!

I was so touched at the moment. I didn't even need to explain to Jasper. I was so proud of him that I hugged him. He told me "mei mei scare hor" I thanks him for being understanding and we enjoyed our shopping together. We went Tom and Step, then popular book shop and the arcade and to see rabbits...

Then I dabao yummy roti prata back. Yes on the way back, Jasper still gladly sit behind. At times like this, all my hard work is worthwhile...

Nowadays my kids get into physical fight as well. Boy scold gal and gal will start hitting him back... n then he also start and then fight liao n now I have to tell Jasper that I will scold mei mei myself if she is wrong. It really getting out of hand.

Gemma is also progressing quite well in the Happy Train school. Her memory games are better now than before. or prob she understands the teacher's instructions better now. She can get all the correct sequences and what objects are in teacher's pockets. She also sit thru the entire class unless there r activities that need to roam around the classroom. She gamely participate in every games be it roaming around or just sitting there doing puzzles. Hope she stays this way. She is def not as shy as gor gor, who by now still sometimes doesn't want to roam round to participate the wall games.

in terms of recognising alphabets and numbers, she is still weaker than gor. she can only do 1 and 2 and the rest she can't
and till now, she still doesn't show interest in learning more about them or singing the alphabet song. She do sing other song though but her English is not so clear.
