Posted on August 28, 2009August 28, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Last week, Tee went by herself without me to sit for her assessment exam to big school. My little almost 5 year old (yes, she's still little to me) braved it without her Mama and I am so proud of her. Remember she.......click to learn what next.

Children who need a LOT of attention

Posted on August 27, 2009August 26, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

The Hubs says that my 2 girls are exactly like me, needing oodles and oozles of attention. I beg to differ. I certainly GET a lot of attention but I really do not NEED it. The fact that I do not go out.......click to learn what next.

Children who wake instantaneously on weekends but not on weekdays

That would be my Tee. I can totally understand why the rest of the world would do this but Tee? She claims she loves school! So why is it that she has to be dragged out of bed on school days yet on.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s current favourite song

Posted on August 21, 2009August 12, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee is really good at composing her own lyrics and tunes. She can whip up a rhyming tune with the snap of her fingers, I kid you not. And they actually sound feasible! Of late, the school’s new teacher has also been teaching.......click to learn what next.

We promised Tee that since she didn’t have a birthday party last year and personally felt that since there would be a lot of change in her life this year with the new baby, we’d pamper her with a very special birthday party........click to learn what next.

Pregnant Belly Painting

Posted on August 18, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

For weeks, Tee had bugged me to allow me to paint my belly. The time was never right as most of the time, Mommy just didn't feel like it. But I couldn't disappoint her after promising her and forcing her to wait for.......click to learn what next.

Children below 5 who boast and show off

Posted on August 16, 2009August 8, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

That’s what Tee does and it used to drive me ballistic because I absolutely hate braggers but since then, I’ve learnt from the experts that children below 5 (and thereabouts depending on individual maturity) actually do not realise that they are showing off.......click to learn what next.

Keeping Tee busy

Posted on August 15, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee has been skipping school these last few days because of many reasons - the Hubs is too busy to send her to school, she gets less exposed to sick kids and we need her in the house to help around, haha....she actually.......click to learn what next.

Teaching Music Creatively

Posted on August 15, 2009August 8, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee’s music school has been very creative all this while in teaching toddlers the basics of music and movement but now that she’s advanced onto piano lessons, she is forgetful when it comes to learning her notes. The school feels that from statistics,.......click to learn what next.

Bonding as sisters

I got confirmation from Tee's school today that Tee really loves her new baby sister and is really, really proud of her! That is such comforting news to hear. I am really proud of Tee. Now we wait till T2 is bigger and.......click to learn what next.

*rolls eyeballs* This is how much foam Tee gets with her Lavender Kiehl's Bath with just a little zig-zag squirt. Loads of luxurious bubbles that smell just heavenly. She absolutely loves it!!! Because she is going to be a big sister, she has.......click to learn what next.

Storytime at Times Book Store, Pavillion

We attended this for the first time last weekend but because we were 15 minutes late, the story had already ended! What a bummer! It must’ve been a really short story….but when I found out what the story was, I wasn’t too fussed.......click to learn what next.

Our last days together alone

Posted on July 31, 2009July 27, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee has been very 'manja' of late this past week. She knows that the baby is coming out anytime now. She is also super-duper excited but on some occasions, bursts into uncontrollable tears non-stop. Suddenly, everything is wrong and her entire world is.......click to learn what next.
