智慧新数学

就是这本练习簿

看，我都答对了。

正在找出圆圈的物品。

正在找出三角形的物品。

妈妈从小就喜欢逛书局，喜欢看书、买书。她原本要当老师，但后来觉得当记者比较有挑战性，所以一当就当了12年的记者。现在，妈妈想当托儿所老师。
最近，妈妈在逛书局时，看到一本适合2至4岁的“智慧新数学”的练习本，于是买了一本回家，打算教我做。
妈妈先从形状开始，要我从众多图片中圈出所要求的形状。例如妈妈会说：“思洁，circle the triangle items.”结果，我正确地圈出了三个三角形的物品。同样的，找出circle items时，我也做得到。
另一页是影子配对，把左边的物品与右边的影子连接起来，我也能够自己做。
接下来，妈妈要教我算物品。思洁虽然会念“1、2、3…………到20”，但算物品方面的技巧还没掌握好，妈妈要多给我练习了。
其实，妈妈没有给我压力，虽然我还没有到3岁，但妈妈不像其他妈妈那样，每个晚上规定我一样要这样、那样。只要我想学，妈妈都会教我，甚至读故事给我听，或教我念诗歌。
对不起，我不是一个喜欢在陌生人面前单独表演的人，毕竟很多小孩子被要求表演时，都会感到害羞。如果你叫我唱歌给你听，或念诗歌给你听，算了吧。我只表演给老师、爸爸妈妈、外婆外公看。只有当我想表演时，我就会唱个你听。哈哈！
对了，我要上音乐课了。

Excursion to Changi Airport

I wake up very early today, because I'm going excursion with friends and teachers! I'm very excited! I am supposed to reach school by 8.30am, so mummy brought me to coffeeshop for breakfast first. I reached school at 8.30am, my friends were having breakfast. Not long after, teachers asked us to go toilet, took our water bottle, and prepared to wear socks and shoes. After that, teacher pinned a name tag on our shirt, just in case anyone of us get lost in the airport.

At 9am, we were ready to go! The bus arrived. Mummy and did waited outside, I was so happy, I waved bye bye to her. Mummy left for home after the bus left. As parents are not invited, she couldnt show you pictures of outing, but only a picture of me at the doorstep of school, holding hands with my partner, getting ready to go!

小老鼠,上灯台

学音乐

今年的农历新年，妈妈和爸爸带我到gary叔叔的家，那也是我第一次接触钢琴。我要求叔叔打开钢琴，让我随意地弹……原来钢琴是这么好玩的。

我坐在钢琴前，弹了一个小时。

gary叔叔看我喜欢钢琴，就建议爸爸让我把钢琴带回家。起初，爸爸是不愿意的，因为他说我还不会玩。但妈妈挺喜欢，因为妈妈小时候想学钢琴，但因为外婆家以前没钱，所以妈妈没能如愿。因此，妈妈建议爸爸先把它搬回家，如果真的喜欢，以后才给我学

或许平时回到家已晚了，所以我只有在周末时，由外公教我钢琴。

爸爸和妈妈心想：思洁真的喜欢钢琴吗？

直到昨天，妈妈和爸爸带思洁到碧山第8站，刚好二楼有钢琴展销会，可以让人弹弹。我要求妈妈抱我坐上椅子，可是妈妈不给，说思洁不会，思洁家里也有钢琴。我哭闹，妈妈没办法，只好抱我上去做，让我弹钢琴。

我好开心，弹了有10分钟，也不管妈妈和爸爸有没有在我身旁。

妈妈问思洁：你真的要学钢琴吗？其实，妈妈是希望我能学小提琴。

外公建议，先让我到音乐学校学基本音乐，确定我喜欢钢琴后，才正式上钢琴课。妈妈查过了，我们家附近的两间联络所都有著名的音乐学校Yamaha，学校有幼儿音乐，不过要三岁才能上。

到时再看怎样吧。这几个月，先由外公教我吧。

转校

最近，妈妈被一件事困扰着。那就是应该让我在今年或明年转校。

外婆家（离我家不远）楼下今年四月有一间新的托儿所，是我现在就读的托儿所的新中心（actually it's same school, but different centre）。为了方便外婆带我下课，妈妈想把我转到新中心去。

可是，妈妈和我都舍不得现在的学校，不想让我那么早转校，原因有几个：

１）校长、老师很好，跟妈妈的关系也不错。就连行政阿姨也经常跟妈妈在电邮mail来mail去。

２）妈妈今天出席了学校特地为家长主办的新学年课程介绍会，校长说会有enrichment class，如美术、滑轮、华文戏剧班等，妈妈挺喜欢的，认为不妨让我上其中一项课程。况且，当妈妈参观我的课室时，发现老师在介绍我们平时学习内容时，都用了我的照片，以我的学习经历来说明，这更让妈妈感到高兴，因为她现在更清楚我在学校学了些什么，而且有认真参与。

３）我喜欢这里的老师，尤其是我的华文老师赖老师。赖老师那天还问妈妈：思洁是不是要转校了？我们舍不得她哩。妈妈听了心情复杂。连校长在给妈妈的电邮里也说：all I can say is, we all feel sad that we will lose our barbie doll Si Jie to a new centre.她还说：dont make them cry.妈妈问，them是谁，校长说是思洁和老师。

４）思洁好不容易已经适应了这里的环境、老师和朋友，转校的话，她得重新适应，到时会哭吗？

５）就如校长说的，如果今年内转校，playgroup的课程上了一半，就到另一间去，似乎不是好主意。虽然都是属于同个托儿所开的，curriculum会一样，但approach不同，妈妈挺喜欢我现在这间中心的approach。

６）新中心还没开，也不知道环境如何？校长和老师为人、资历如何？

校长给妈妈的建议是，新中心四月才开，不如让我先完成今年的playgroup课程，明年才到新中心上nursery，开始新的学前教育，妈妈也就有更多时间了解新中心的运作了。

其实也对。

more puzzle

I have somemore new puzzles!
Remember I told you that I have a 20-pieces puzzle bought by popo? days ago, mummy bought me a 40-pieces puzzle, and I'm glad to share that I can finish the puzzle all by myself!
Dont know since when, I like to play puzzle. I take about 15mins to complete the 40-pieces puzzle, isnt it fast? Mummy said, since I like puzzle so much, she will buy more puzzles with greater difficulties.,err...100-pieces?

思洁的照片

With Joey jiejie at a christmas party. We wore the same shirt.

Isnt these shirts cute?

At airport.

With Regene jiejie at 太婆house.

yours....mine

Last time, when I was telling people this is my belonging, I will say "this is Sijie one". Now, I will say "this is mine".

That day, mummy bought me a Dora puzzle, mummy said to me,"this is for Sijie, you must share with jiejie ok". I told mummy,"mummy, this Dora puzzle is mine."

There was also one day, mummy took my pillow. I told her,"This is MINE, not YOURS."

See, no more"Sijie one, your one..."

Mummy said, Sijie is 2years 7 months now, must say proper sentences, and she likes to hear me say those sentences.

Learn this from school again

Mummy , 外婆,三姨and me went shopping on new year eve. As mummy didnt drive, we had to take train. However, as we were too tired to take train, 三姨suggested that we should take taxi back.

Mummy and I were queueing up at the taxi stand, I was drinking ribena with a straw. Suddenly, my straw dropped on the floor. I was about to pick it up, mummy shouted,"hey, dirty already, dont pick it up." However, I said to mummy, "cannot put here", afterwhich bent down to pick it up, walked to the dustbin nearby and threw the straw into the dustbin.

Mummy was pleased. Wasnt it a good manner? If I left the straw on the floor, it was a kind of littering. See, it showed that going to school really benefit me.

This year, I am in playgroup. My schoolbag is also smaller now becos I only bring 1 diaper to school (last year 4 diapers), no more bolster, so mummy said I can bring a smaller bag.

Mummy has also bought a booster seat for me. When daddy drive me to school every morning, I can sit on it now.

Puzzles

Popo has bought me a 16-piece puzzle, and I'm able to complete it all by myself!
Mummy wonders how I can do it. Popo said,"I just teach her once and she knows already."

I told mummy, I want somemore puzzles, so that I wont be doing the same puzzles all the time.

Actually, I already had puzzles at home, they are more simple ones, I want to try more difficult ones. Mummy, can buy somemore?

Yesterday, mummy brought me to popular sales, she bought somemore activities book and 2 storybooks for me. Yeah, I have some new books for new year.

Of course , I have new toys too.....learning is important, but not forgetting to play too.

Looking back, looking forward

2008, a wonderful and meaningful year for me.

First of all, I attended school and learnt lots of things. If I did not go to school, I wont have learnt so much and my speech would not have improved so fast (not I say one, it's my doctor said so when I went back for injection). Also, I have made lots of friends, they include Zi Yao, Shannon, Gerald Ong, Ying En.....and many more.

Secondly, I have a young brother now which means I am a big sister! My brother's name is Jingkai (his blog is jingkai0109.blogspot.com), he likes to talk to people, likes to look around, a baby full of curiousity.

Thirdly, I'm toilet trained (except nap cos mummy wants to train me step by step) ! In the daytime, I'm on my panties :P, bye bye diapers! So far a day either no "accident" or only once. And most of the time, I requested for toilet, not mummy asking if I need to go toilet. Mummy said, when I confirmed will not urine on the panties and only when she has stopped asking me to go toilet, then she will start to naptime toilet-train.

Mummy has also teach me how to do simple worksheet, eg counting the items and match it to the relevant numbers. I have to match it with a ruler and pencil. I like doing this, but mummy, this is for 3 yrs and above leh, sure I can do it meh?

2009, I will be in Playgroup, big sister in school now, will try to look after new comers. I want to be a good girl too, promised not to make papa and mummy angry, learn more songs, read more books, know more words, learn to write too. I also want to help mummy look after brother.

Promised, promised.....

toilet training

I am already 2 and 1/2yrs old. Mummy said I have to train myself to ask for toilet and not urine on diapers. So, I have been on pull up pants for weeks. At I did ask for toilet when I need to urine or past motion. Sometimes, I even wear panties. So far no "accidents".

But in school, though I wear pull up pant to school, but I will not wear the pull up pant back. Mummy prepares 3 diapers in my schoolbag and often left 2 back. Mummy also prepare a panties too. Mummy wants to know whether teacher helps to toilet train me or not but dont know how to ask teacher. There are times even my panties are wet, so mummy suspects teacher didnt make the effort to remind me for toilet, plus I'm too engrossed in playing, so sometimes forget to inform teacher I need past urine.

These few days, mummy has been asking me, "Can shee shee on diapers or on the floor?" I said,"Cannot!". Mum will then asked,"Then what must you do?", and I said,"Mummy I want past urine" . Mum will test me,"where can you past urine?", I replied,"toilet!"

Okok mummy, I think I can get rid of diapers quite soon. You must have confident in your fast learning daughter. heehee.....

School Outing

Today it's our school annual family outing day!
I wake up very early because daddy needs to drive didi to popo house because mummy will be going to animal resort with me.
Mummy and I took our breakfast at the coffeeshop next to my school first, then we proceed to school to wait for the departure to animal resort.
Mostly all children from Toddler, Playgroup, Nursery, K1 and K2 classes join the outing, our parents tagged along too.
The outing is fun! However, when we were sent back to school by noon time, many children cried because we didnt understand why our parents have to leave us.....thought they took leave to accompany us to animal resort? Why must they send us back to school...?

Barney show again

School holidays are full of activities. Barney is here again, and this purple dinosaur came to IMM for few days.

I'm suppose to attend school yesterday, though daddy and mummy were not working, but they decided to let me off one day, brought me to IMM to watch barney show.

So happy! Today when I go to school, I told Teacher Hayati that I went watch Barney show yesterday, and she said,"oh, Barney! No wonder you were not in school yesterday."

Heehee.....

Sijie's drawing?

Got this from her when I went to pick her up from school yesterday?
Do you believe the one on top was drawn by her, or the one below?

Parent's Day

Time flies, Sijie has been in childcare for 4 and a half month now. I would say, despite that
she got sick easily for the past months, she has improved alot in her verbal and motor skills.

Yesterday was the so called "Meet the Parents Day". The first thing Teacher Hayati showed
us was Sijie's cognitive, social n emotional, motor skills and hygiene n self help record card.
This is rated every four month interval, teachers will have to kick "yes" or "no" for each
requirement, eg "makes two or three word sentences", Sijie had a "yes" from teacher. Out
of the 27 requirements, Sijie had 25 "yes", the 2 "no" are "Begins toilet training, asks for
toilet" and "Shows pride in toilet achievement and concern about failures", both are related.

After showed us the record, Chinese teacher show us a paper which pasted a picture of
Sijie playing picture-shadow game and some remarks. It shows her putting the cut-out
picture of a spoon on the sheet with the spoon shadow. This is what her Chinese teacher
wrote :思洁正在玩影子配对游戏。只见她找出图片放在相应的影子上。她对此游戏产生兴趣，
并且能够独自完成全部图片。Actually, this game is far too easy for her.

Next, English teacher showed us Sijie's E-folio, which gathers what Sijie has done for the
past term. They hve different themes, for eg under "I can help myself", it shows a picture of
Sijie using clohthing pegs to peg on a plastic sheet. This is what her English Teacher wrote:
Sijie is able to peg on clothes' pegs on a plastic sheet with great amount of perfection. She
also shows satisfaction after lining those pegs all neaty in a row.

We are then given a file, which put together Sijie's art-pieces and reports by the teachers on
what the children have learnt for the past terms, accompanied by some pictures of the
children at work.

We went on discuss about Sijie's behaviour in school. Teachers told me that she is helpful
and caring. She likes to help her friends and teachers and is well-liked by the teachers.
principal adds that she never heard Sijie shouts or throw tantrum before, and because of her
curly hair, she's named the "Anchorvale Barbie" (Anchorvale is the name of the centre
branch) by the teachers!? Principal said the teachers there like to tie her hair in different
styles, but weird, she doesnt like me tie hair for her....

I told teachers that Sijie likes to throw tantrum at home, but they told me that she is a good
girl in school and that some children will behave differently when they are in school and at
home. However, deep in my heart, I know it's because of abit of jealousy and needs family
members' attention, she's demanding when at home, but in school, she knows what's wrong
and right.

Teachers end the session by informing that Sijie will be in Playgroup next year and the focus
and curriculum will be different. This is the reason why I like this centre, they not only have
systematic teaching, even in toddler class, but also keep parents well informed of the
activities in school by showing us the pictures of our kids at work and reports, so that we
know what our children has learnt in school.

I would like to post some of the pictures, but not now, wait ya!

句子更完整了

爸爸跟妈妈说：“思洁每天都会冒出一两句完整的句子，我们的宝贝长大了。”
是的，我的华语最近有了显著的进步，也更完整了。最妙的是，我也会认字了。
那天早上，妈妈帮我绑了头发后，看到爸爸还在看报纸，我就走过去对他说：“爸爸，可以走了。”这是我第一次这么说，爸爸和妈妈听呆了。
昨天傍晚，我放学回家后，踏进屋子就喊妈妈。在厨房看到妈妈时，我跟妈妈说：“妈妈，我回来了。”同样的，爸爸和妈妈也听呆了。
爸爸说，上了学后，思洁更会说话了，而且也会认字。虽然上学后经常生病，但校长说过这是过度时期，很多初上托儿所的孩童都会这样的，所以能看到我在学习上的进步，爸爸和妈妈没有后悔当初提早让我上学，而不是等到明年。
当然，要进一所课程全面的好学校，也是重要的。而在选学校方面，妈妈可做了不少功课。

Children's Day Presents

I was on MC a day before Children's Day, which my school had a celebration.

However, Teacher Hayati and 赖老师still reserve the presents for me.

Thank you teachers!

HFMD again

I had fever on Sunday night, 38.8 degree. The next morning, papa took urgent leave to bring me to gleneagles hospital to see doctor. I was given fever medicine.

At night, mummy spot some pinkish spot, she was hoping that it will not be HFMD again.

But today, more spots, plus I couldnt drink and eat better. I became cranky. papa and mummy were quite sure that this time round will be HFMD. So, they brought me to see doctor again.

Doctor checked my mouth and say,"oh, it's HFM!"

Mummy told him,"but she just got it 2 weeks ago. "

Doctor said its a matter of luck.

Well, when mummy called up Teacher Oh and told her I have HFMD again, Teacher Oh couldnt believe it. She said couldnt be too close, so she suspect the previous one was not HFM at all cos I had no complaints of pain and discomfort. This is what papa and popo think so too.

Whatever it is, I have to get well soon this time round.

Papa took 3 days leave to take care of me. Mummy and Jingkai didi stay at sanyi's house and go over yima's house in the daytime.

HFMD

Was told that I am having suspected HFMD.
Actually, the PD was not sure if I'm having HFMD, but for safety reason, she said "suspected", better treat it as HFMD.
So, I am given 7 days MC, have to review again on Monday. If everything alright, PD will produce a letter to certified that I am ok to go back to school.

It happened on Monday, mummy still having her confinement, and she had a busy schedule that day because she and papa had to distribute Jingkai's full month cakes to their office and brought Jingkai to take his injection.

At 1130am while waiting to make payment at the clinic, mummy received call from my teacher, informing that they saw red spot on my hands, legs and body. They looked like heat rash. Teacher told mummy to bring me home and consult doc asap.

Mummy and papa had to change their itinery. After they left clinic, immediatlely went to pick me up. As the children clinic will reopen at 2pm, mummy and papa brought me to popo house for lunch first. All the adult started to take precaution, not to let joey jiejie and tristan didi and my own didi get near me. Only mummy was closer to me, the rest were in the room.

While waiting for 2pm, papa suggested that he will go distribute the cake to his office first, then come back b4 2pm to pick me up to see doc.

No fever, very active, only pinkish rash on body, legs and hands(not on foot and palm),a red rash on lip, not itchy... Then doc said definitely not heat rash. She said HFMD consists serious case like those pictures we saw in magazines and newspapers, mild case looks like heat rash, pinkish in colour...somemore she said I have a red spot on lip.....so I have HFMD.....

Ok. treat it as HFMD....mummy has to be careful as well.....as she is still breastfeeding Jingkai and has to take care of Jingkai since the nanny has left.

So mummy called up popo and Yima, discuss childcare plan. I have to be away from all the children, including Jingkai, so Jingkai has to stay at popo house until I fully recover. But, in daytime, popo house has Joey jiejie, Jordan gor gor and 8 mth old tristan didi, now plus a month old Jingkai didi, popo can manage 2 babies at the same time or not? Mummy doubt so, so she suggested Yima to take thurs and friday leave, so that she can help out at home.

Now, I'm at home with mummy. Her 40days confinement has not ended yet, so she has to cook confinement food herself, and cook for me.

Today is the 4th day since Monday HFMD outbreak. There are no more red spot on lip and body. Those on hands and legs have faded off (only can see them when you get near to see them)

Actually, mummy still dunno if I'm having HFMD.....

生病了

咳嗽了两个多星期，上个周末终于痊愈了。可是没到三天，我又生病了。这回是咳嗽、伤风和发烧。
妈妈在坐月期间，已经带我看医生有两次了，但还好这两次都是妈妈也正好得回去复诊，所以才能亲自带我去看医生。
医生说，我原本已经痊愈了，但不幸地又感染了新病毒，结果又病了。他劈头问妈妈的第一个问题是：有没有上托儿所？妈妈说有（其实妈妈也知道初上托儿所的几个月，一定经常生病的）。医生跟着说这是平常的现象，而且这次的咳嗽没有上次严重，吃些药就没事了。
可怜的思洁，已经吃了接近一个月的咳嗽药了。
她已经很久没有吃她爱吃的鸡肉了。
她也已经很久没有吃她爱吃的麦当劳了。

mooncake festival

Lantern I made in school.

Popo bought me this barney lantern.

On Friday, my school had a mooncake festival celebration. This is the first time I celebrate this chinese tradition festival in school with friends and teachers.

叽喳

这是每个见到我的人都会给我的评语。妈妈跟外婆说，几天没见我，我突然间会说很多话了。妈妈请的陪月auntie这样说我：“讲话很厉害！我的外孙三岁了，只会讲几个短短的字句。 ” 思洁最近很喜欢roleplay，她会在她的玩具小角落里扮演很多焦色，比如妈妈。她会说'take off your shoe! sit down. let me show u how to do“ 甚至拿着自己的书包，拉着我的手假设带我上学，嘴里说：“let's go!“ …………很可爱，我们也配合。每天早上爸爸带她上学，在门口，她也会很有礼貌地对家里的每一个人说“bye bye didi. bye bye mama, bye bye auntie“　　 接下来四个月，我会有更多时间发现她给的每一个惊喜，而作为妈妈的，能够见证孩子的每个第一次，都是幸福的。

My little brother

Mummy gave birth to my little brother on the 1 Sept 08. Aunties and uncles said it's a good date because he will have holiday to celebrate his birthday on this day till post-secondary schooldays.

Didi looks like me when I was just borned. I visited mummy only on the second day of didi's arrival because I had to go childcare centre and therefore had to stay at Yima's house with popo. Mummy looked tired. Then papa pushed didi to mummy's ward. I was stunt initially because I dont know who this little baby is. The papa said he is my didi, didi no longer in mummy's womb and he is out. Only then I started to touch him and sayang him.

I was home after 4 nights stay at yima's house. However, I didnit have chance to take picture with didi yet because I'm having cough. mummy and papa do not let me get close to didi and most of the time, didi is in mummy's room and I am not allowed to go in.

I hope to recover asap so that I can take picture with didi.

Rain rain go away.......

funny smile

Sijie in uniform

妈妈最近太忙,也太累了,没有时间问思洁最近在学校里学了些什么。直到有一天，窗外下起了大雨，思洁站在落地窗旁，对着窗外唱着：rain rain go away, come again another day.

这时的我，简直吓呆了。“思洁什么时候学会唱这首歌的啊？而且唱得非常标准”心想一定是在学校学的。

星期一是教师节，学校没开课，于是思洁今天把礼物送给了她最喜欢的赖老师和teacher hayati。今早开门的是赖老师，兴奋的她立刻把礼物递给了老师，让老师乐开了怀，赖老师接着要思洁给她一个拥抱。

还有，思洁上课后，也变得更vocal了。到爷爷家时，她会主动找爷爷（爷爷还没有下班），也喜欢缠着叔叔，叔叔前，叔叔后的，把叔叔逗开心了。

我们是新加坡公民

“我们是新加坡公民，誓愿不分种族、言语、宗教，团结一致，建设公正、平等的民主社会，并为实现国家之幸福、繁荣与进步，共同努力。

思洁的托儿所每天早上一定会唱国歌、念英文及中文信约。国庆日当天，在看国庆庆典时，她一听到国歌，也很自然地站着不动，咿啊地唱几句，念中文信约时会把右手放在左肩旁，只会念“我们是新加坡公民”。不过，由于她一般是在集会后才抵达学校，所以很少参加唱国歌仪式。她会讲“我们是新加坡公民”，是我在家中教她的。

她比我好。我离开学校很久了，我只会讲上半段，下半段忘记了，最近才记起。：）

My artpieces

These are some of the artpieces I did in school in the month of July.
What mummy like about my school is, the curriculum is very systematic, they have themes to follow every month, and the school will report to parents what are taught in the past one month. Eventhough I'm in toddler class, it's not only babysitting, but more learning as well. What surprise mummy is, every morning, we have to sing National Anthem and pledge, both in English and Chinese.

Took only one week to settle in

A child takes an average of 2 weeks to months to settle in childcare centre, but Sijie took only a week, and I'm glad that she can adapt well.

Looking backwards, I can still remember how she was so reluctant to go school every morning, so cranky and miserable, struggle at school door step, refused to let teacher check her mouth, and cried when we went to pick her up.

Luckily, they ended only a few days later.

Since 3 weeks ago, she was so happy to step out of the house every morning. She will say "bye bye Dibo" (Dibo is the cartoon show on Playhouse Disney), then off she goes to wear her shoes and carrys her water bottle. She allows her teachers to check on her, then says "bye bye mama", walks into the school and takes off her shoes.

Even after I sign in for her, I walk passed the window and she sees me, she will not cry for me, but yet run to the window and says "bye bye mama", then she joins the group.

I'm happy.

I should say thank you to her english teacher hayati. She has settled in so fast , is because her teacher has told her "Sijie goes school . Later mama come ok? ", and she remembers her words, because there was once when I drove her to school, she said "Later mama come ok?", and I promised her.

Now, she will tell me "Sijie wants go school".

However, I have long never read story books to Sijie since she goes school. I must start reading to her before bedtime again.

Also, I must say that Sijie has developed a very strong character, she has her own thinking and if we do not fulfill her, she will make a fuss. There's nothing wrong, but I just cant stand some of her impossible requests, esp when I due quite soon, I really have no energy to fight with her strong character.

She's playful too. She can recognise "1,2,3", but she will purposely tell me "1" is "0", then make a funny smile.

外婆和Jordan表哥的生日

跟婆婆、Joey表姐、jordan表哥和Tristan表弟的合照。



外婆三个调皮的孙。

两个人同月同日生，8年来都一起庆祝。
看，最开心的就是我，好像是我的生日似的。
可能是因为学校里经常有同学生日，所以也会唱生日歌了。

种族和谐日

今天是种族和谐日。老师上星期五发信给家长，说今天有庆祝会，要我们在这一天为孩子穿上传统服装。我翻了思洁的衣橱，“好像没有传统服装喔”。还好，Joey有一件从没穿过的米奇老鼠祺袍，已经不合身了，所以就给思洁穿。

穿上后，除了有点长外，其实还蛮合身的，再不穿的话，颈项旁的纽扣就扣不上了。于是，我决定让思洁在种族和谐日这天，穿着它上学。

她还蛮喜欢的，因为有米奇老鼠图案。到了学校门口，华文老师来开门，她立刻指着衣服对老师说：“see，美美！”，老师看到她也很开心，说她很漂亮。

进了课室后，听到一些老师赞她漂亮。

但我觉得，可爱多过漂亮。

首两周的学习报告

严格来说,思洁上托儿所已一个多星期，我很高兴地说，她从这个星期一开始，到了学校门口时虽然脸愁愁的，但出门时是开心的，牵着我手走到停车场，而且还坚持自己穿鞋、背书包。这与上个星期，在家看到书包就哭的情况，简直是有很大的不同。

这个星期，她已经肯让老师检查她的口和手，而且也没有大哭一场。进门时还跟我说“bye bye”，然后自己拖鞋子。我在门外签名后走过窗口时，看见她在参与课堂活动。

即使是放学时，她看到我在窗外也没有哭，而是开心地拿她的书包，然后告诉老师“my mama come already”，回家前也对同学和老师说再见。

昨天，老师把思洁前两周的每日活动报告交给我，要家长签名后交上。除了头几天说她偶尔要找妈妈外，其他时候还算乖。有些remarks相当可笑的，原来思洁在学校里，也会这样的。例如：

有一天冲凉时，老师写说思洁会说“sijie shower”，而且也会“take her bag and pass to teacher”
大家聚集喝水时，她会“encourage friends to drink water”
玩玩具时，她会“initiate play with XXX”
上课时，她会“join in the singing session and colouring”
吃饭时，她“insist to feed herself”

可是，老师在讲故事时，她有时会“sat by the teacher and listen”，有时说“observe from far”

思洁上课后，我们发现她性格上有了转变。变得像大孩子，很多东西坚持自己做，但也变得很黏我，很怕我离开她视线范围内（这或许与我怀孕，产期越来越近有关，还好她现在已经习惯自己得上学，不能有妈妈陪伴）。

她也变得会以较长的句子与人沟通，也很喜欢问问题。如，最近她常问我们“what are you doing?”。上周末，我们发现她也会认形状了！她会说“triangle”,“circle”，“square”。有一次，她在玩mickey laptop时，上面有“triangle”,“circle”和“square”，我就告诉她这是“triangle”，这是“circle”………。几天后，她在玩barney drawing block时，她的triangle掉在地上，拿不到，就跑过来对我说：“mama, i want triangle。”起初我只是惊讶她会说triangle，但后来发现她其实真的在找triangle，而不是随便说说的。

其实，我现在担心的是，老二出世后，她的性格会是怎样？
