Playgroup for me!

Mama had signed me up for a holiday programme with Joyhouse Montessori. It's just opposite my house. So Nai Nai can bring me there daily. It's a 1 1/2 hours playgroup programme. I'll be starting class this 17th Nov till 21 Dec! Let's see if I'll enjoy the 5 week sessions. If it's real fun, Mama thought of signing me up for the new intake in Jan 09 till she finds me a childcare or when the need to send me to one arrives--don't know which one comes first.

But for now, I can't wait to have fun in this new class. At least I get to have fun with peers, learn new things and Nai Nai can do her grocery shopping, marketing or house work while I'm away.

Nai Nai can only accompany me for the first week, the lady boss said to Mama. The rest, I should be on my own. But Nai Nai confidently told Mama that I'll only need to take 2 days to settle down! Well, I hope so too!

Mama said it's Montessori programme; mainly the practical life skills, hopefully it's what she thinks it is. She didn't get to see the activities with kids, but the boss showed her around the place when the classes were over. On top of the Monte programme, they also promised to have music & movement, story telling, snack and others. They also provide extra music class every Friday. Hopefully, it's fun so Mama can sign me up for that too!

Bouncing on the bicycle

Trying out my birthday gifts--bicycle & Barney bag

The next day after the unwrapping of gifts, I started to try on some of them. Love to sit on this "bouncy" bicycle that Uncle KS and Aunty Evelyn bought for me.

I have to bounce on it hard enough for it to move forward. Well, being quite under weight myself, I have to bounce extra hard! Hahahhaaa...Think I can only play it well when I'm 3 or something? Now, I'm just as happy rolling the bicycle with my feet. Hehehehe....

I also like this Barney bag that Kow Fu and Kow Mo bought. Have been carrying it around the house. I would say to Mama, "Bag, school, bye!" Meaning: I'm going to school with this bag. Bye!

Hmm...so many people had bought me birthday gifts already. Yeye and Nai Nai bought me a gold bracelet with little cute bears and heart shape. When I shake my hand, the bell will ring...ling ling ling....so fun! I'm so blessed! Oh, you must be wondering what my parents had gotten for me, right?! I'm also wondering.....but they're not giving me yet...waiting for 13 Nov! The actual day! Yipee!!! Can't wait to see it!

My 2nd birthday--BBQ party with friends

Papa and Mama booked a chalet to celebrate my 2nd birthday at Downtown East. Not my actual birthday but they just wanted a small celebration with close friends. Too bad my gugu, gu zhang and poh poh couldn't be there.

I had a great time! Played with Shea Jie Jie, Zach, Elliot & Daniel gor gor. Kow Mo is always good to be around too if you want some fun. She is my unofficial "games mistress!" Taught me to play jumping on pebbled pavement. So the whole night, other than being carried around by my beautiful guests, I also did alot of jumping, running and some dancing. So much fun that I was overly stimulated at night--cried a few times in my sleep. She also decorated the place with Kow Fu's help! Thanks!

Anyways, it's only once in a while I got to be this wild and I'm entitled to it! HEhehehe....Mama and Papa wanna say a big thank you to all who came and gave me gifts. To those who took a super long and frustrating time to find parking lot, thank you for your patience and still turned up despite the crazy parking war! We are really touched. (Aunty Cindy, Uncle BB, Uncle Vic, & I'm sure many more that Mama didn't know--thank you!)

Thank you Aunty Evelyn who came inspite of her food poisoning! Papa and Mama thought that was really touching. She could have stayed home to rest. But she said she needed to come because she missed the 1st celebration already. Hope she's fine now. Please take care!

Thank you to Aunty Su too. She also came even though she was heavily pregnant and BBQ food was out of bound for her now. Hope the curry and bee hoon made it up to her! :)

In fact, if I go on thanking, I'll probably take up the whole blogging space. Hope if I have left out anyone, please don't be offended. (Mama's typing this with her flu bug and she's feeling drowsy liao) So, to ALL my beloved guests, like Aunty Carol, Jill, Beca, Mabel, Pam, Meijiao, Eileen, Grace, Pat, Meiyen, Li Feng & Uncle Wee How, Eric, BB, Ed, KS, Kok Keong......Kow Fu, Kow Mo, Yi Poh Grace, Godma, Gong Gong.....thank you!

Most of all, thank you Yeye and Nainai! Yeye was feeling sick and he still helped with BBQing food, cooked Bee Hoon, helped Nainai with curry and ferrying stuffs. I'm so blessed to have these people who loves me so much to make my party a fun one for me!

I had a super great time! Thank you! Now, hopefully Yeye and Mama's sickness will go away soon....And no one else in the family will be sick for a long time! Amen!
