Games

Clarence has been with the new coach, coach David for about 2 mths. We see improvements in his breast stroke and freestyle. Last time whenever he is swimming freestyle, it looks like he is drowning in the water, now it is no longer so.
They had games yesterday.
My honest boy was wondering who pushed him into the water and was lost for a while. Ha!



Round 2:

Rare to see my boy so competitive, Auntie Janet asked if I gave him steroids that day. I was surprised by his competitiveness too.
Round 3: Clarence cheated, he jumped into the pool before his teammates touched his hands.

Round 4: Walking in the water

She is ready

Meimei started sleeping on Gor gor's bed since Wednesday night. On Wednesday night, after saying goodnight. She came out twice looking for me.
On Thursday night, she did not come out at all.
Friday afternoon, she took her nap in Gor gor's room too.
Friday night, she slept with gor gor too.

I think she is ready to sleep in another room.
Problem is: where to put her super single mattress in gor gor's room?

Rainy Wednesday

Mummy booked a slot for Clarence to go Forest Adventure on Wed. While I was driving, it started to rain. When we reached our destination, I received a call from the person in charge informing me the weather was bad and the slot has to be cancelled. Both of us were disappointed. Clarence was disappointed not because he could not go but because he will not get a present from Daddy (bonus for going) if he did not try.
So we went to the mall for his haircut. After that, mummy went foot reflexology and Clarence did his assessment books there while waiting for me.

A Decade

Today is our 10th year wedding anniversary. We have been married for a decade. Wow! I was very touched the other day when I received an sms from my dear. (sms content too mushy to disclose) We have been through a lot for so many years and I want to thank my dear for all his love and tolerance towards me. I am stubborn and has a quick temper and ...... but he accepts me for who I am and he is always the one to apologise first even though sometimes it is not his fault. Thanks my dear! 愿能： 执子之手，与子偕老

 

She can jump

Newly acquired skill: jumping (with both legs off the ground)

Feeding

As Dubery has not been to Kids Kampong before, we brought all of them there and met up with the Lees.
As usual, Clarence was very happy feeding and touching the fish there.
Big improvement for Vincy, she dared to touch the fish on that day.

Fed the rabbits:

Army

Dubery came to stay over and brought along a present from Guozhong shu shu for Clarence.
An army cap from camp!
The 2 potential recruits:

7,8, 9,10?

Recorded a video of Vincy counting. She can count from 1 to 6. What happen to 7, 8, 9 and 10?

She is slower in terms of speech as compared to her gor gor but we are not worried. Just let her grow at her own pace.

Paper Flower

Clarence made this paper flower from a paper plate. Mummy wanted to throw it away but was stopped by Clarence. he told me it was meant to be a present for one of his teachers on Teacher's day. Oops!

Mummy asked him which teacher is he going to give the flower to and after thinking for a day, he told me he is going to give it to Teacher Emma, his form teacher in his childcare.

Snap snap

Clarence has been bugging us to bring him to the zoo since last week. So we went today despite the wet weather.
Outside the zoo:

He brought along his camera to take pictures of the animals in the zoo.

So he went "Snap snap" whenever he went.

The drizzle got heavier so we took shelter and fed meimei near the elephant enclosure.
While trapped there, Clarence started to snap pictures again. We became his models.

And I took these:

On our way out, I got an elephant soft toy for meimei for her birthday present.

Clarence was jealous and kept asking us to buy one for him too. He kept saying it was not fair. The sulking boy:

Last minute

After our dinner yesterday, while we were on our way back, my dear suggested buying a slice of cake to celebrate Víncy's birthday. Guess he wanted to do so cos he missed the celebration in school. Managed to get a slice of chocolate cake from Jack's place and we all sang happy birthday song to meimei.
Watch her successfully blow the candle this time:
