It's a tough nut to crack for Sky's toliet training. This prove to be a daunting experience for us. He will either say "no no no" or tried to run away looking distressed that we tried to pull his pants down. But within secs, he will pee on the floor & look at us innocently. And yet, whenever we asked him where should he pee & poo, he will promptly point to the potty.

Finally, for these few wks, he's able to go potty now to poo!! This is considered a big milestone for him or US.. :)

Shannon has been looking forward to her CC's excursion to Kids' Kampong (Pasir Ris Park) today since last week. For the whole of this week, she has been asking me if today is "Friday". Knowing today is "D" day, she's up extra early.

When i reach home, she eagerly showed me the pail, net & a bag of longkang fish that she caught from the kampong & vividly recount the memories of those domestic animals that she seen.

We arranged to put the fishes into the pail and feed them with our bread. Not sure how long these longkang fishes will survive under her care though...shall wait & see.

The funny thing is, Sky seems to be afraid of these small fishes..whenever he sees them, he will run to me & say "scare scare". Hmm..this young man who is a terror when come to climbing & yet is afraid of fishes!!

Dh has been working rather late & it's quite rare that we can squeeze some time last friday evening to watch a 6pm show together. We catch a no-brainer show - Mr Bean which is rather enjoyable to watch. But, frankly speakingly, don't really think it's worth the ticket price of $9 to watch. Had wanted to go for a dinner before we head home, but we bought too much "small bites" from old chang kee to eat that we became too full to have a proper dinner. So, our couple time is just 1.5hrs of show time plus driving home time.

Every now & then, the first thing i touch home, Shannon will come running to me to complaint about the little things that Sky did to her. It amuses her Ah gong so much that today, he asked her while i'm taking my dinner whether she complaint already. The best thing is i heard that she proclaim loudly "complaint already"!

It's cute when you see one willing to help & another one obliging & taking instruction.

The downside of a new job is it's impossible for me to take leave just after 3 wks of work. So, I have to delegate the plan to bring them to Disney on Ice to both Dh & Ah Ma. I also missed the chance to see my ex-colleagues as we have planned to go for the show together. Anyway, i should be seeing Aunty Elisa & Aunty Suzie (who just got saved by the lord!) quite often since we attend the same church.

Sky's current favourite word is "NO". This is all too familiar for me as Shannon went thru this stage before. Today, our helper related a funny incident to me.

Aunty: Sky! Eat your lunch now.
Sky: No No...Wait...later
Aunty (pleasantly surprised that Sky can string words together) : who teach you to say later?
Sky: Jie Jie

Obviously, wrong things are learnt fast.

A pose first.

Since the start of March, Shannon has started to bring back homework to do on a weekly basis. It came as a surprise to me. It did not occur to me that N2 will have homework to do. Even for chinese lessons, they are learning 笔划 like pie(2) 撇 heng(2)横. Life for the kids are so stress in SG.

Luckily, Shannon seems to enjoy doing "homework" & has the concentration to finish before playing.
