Embracing Change

August 2010 was an eventful month for our 21/2 year old. Events unfold as such in no particular order:-


>>>Spent a week in KL with grandparents while Mummy and Daddy were preparing for move

>>>'Promoted' to Nursery 1 class, Firefly Class along with other friends, i.e. Jack2x and Caleb (He was previously in pre-nursery Dragonfly Class)

>>>Got to know Firefly class teachers Ms Renee and Ms Adette a little better

>>>Said goodbye to dear Sun Lao Shi as she leaves the school to teach slightly older kids at another school branch




Ms Myn, Sun Lao Shi and Kayne

Here's a video of Sun Lao Shi and Kayne during evening pick-up time. Kayne is going to miss Lao Shi very much.

And he embraced these changes and challenges quite effortlessly. Bravo little Kayne!

Mad about numbers

So much has changed and developed since Kayne turned 2 at the start of this year. We felt his development moving at lightning speed after Chinese New Year. Kayne started counting and is still very passionate about it.

Here's a video of Kayne taken on 10 July 2010, Saturday late evening spouting numbers in a 'conference call'...

How do you know when a kid gets all crazy over numbers:-

>>>
He points out to Daddy & Mummy house nos during evening walks

>>>
As Lao Shi tells a story and turns the pages of an extra large story book in the company of Kayne and classmates, he shouts at the top of his voice and points to the page numbers at the bottom corner of the book and go "twoooo, threeeeee, ouuur,..."

In the end, Lao Shi adjusted her grip on the book by placing her fingers over the page numbers so that they are hidden from view from our very enthusiastic Kayne.

>>>
He reads his books of numbers and starts improvising, "Daddy oneeee, Daddy twoooo, Daddy threeeee,..."

At times he goes, "Oneeee Daddy, Twooooo Mummy, Threeeee Daddy, ouurrr Mummy,..." ~ you get the idea!

>>>
He counts 1 to 10 at least fifty times in his cot, before taking a nap.

>>>
During outdoor time in pre-school, Kayne picks up the spray bottle in his right hand and watering can in his left, walks towards the vegetable plot in school and goes, "Oneeeee (while spraying water droplets at the garlic seedlings), twooooooo (while watering the tomato seedlings), threeeeee (garlic seedlings), oourrrrrrr (tomato seedlings),..."

>>>

Having now mastered 1 to 10, ventures towards 11 to 20.

Thank God it's a Weekend (TGIW)

God must have invented weekdays, so that weekends come by,

God must have made parks, for our little walks every month;

God must have sent out the sun, to see fancy hats from the sky,

Thank God for weekends and more fun in the sun!

Prata Times

Recently, Kayne showed great interest in trying out spicy food / gravy. He would dip the roti prata into the curry gravy, close his eyes real tight and drink lots of water after that. Taking after Daddy so soon? Not too sure, but Daddy's happy about the drinking of water though :)
