Orientation in school

We went for our short orientation in school today. We were kind of unsettled at the beginning. It made Mummy worried but however we were fine by playtime.

After playtime was art & craft and singing and we enjoyed that too. Mummy thought she could do the disappearing act for awhile. Reyes started crying not long after that. Mummy heard her crying and shouting "mama! mama!" outside the classroom and she felt a tinge of heartpain. She didn't want to scare Reyes even before she starts officially so she came in to pacify Reyes. And since it was time for us to go back so we packed up and went off.

The good sign Mummy saw was that we happily waved and shouted "bye, bye!" to our friends and teachers. At least we don't resent them or school. Let's hope Monday will be a better day.


Wah! They've got lots of books here.


Pretty jie jie

Last 5-in-1 booster jabs

We went for our long overdue last 5-in-1 booster vaccinations today. This jab was supposed to be taken at 18 mths but Mummy had been dragging it.

For those who doesn't know, Mummy is a scaredy cat when it comes to needles like injections, blood tests & etc ... Mummy could still recall how she screamed and cried 4 years back when she was required to give 3 tubes of blood for normal routine body checks. And the way she screamed and squeezed Daddy's hand for all those blood tests done during her pregnancy, the epidural injection and IV drips poked in her hands.

Therefore we were only given the mandatory jabs and not those optional ones since birth. Mummy wants to save us from the pain and herself from the stress. If it wasn't for the childcare entry requirement, probably she might even wait till we go Primary One before she'll send us for our last booster jabs.

Anyway, we didn't make much fuss this time round except that Reyes screamed abit when the needle went into her butt. Perhaps she didn't know what to expect cos she was the 1st one to take it.

As for our growth development, we are growing well!! Reyden's at the 75th percentile with weight of 12.7kg and Reyes' moving towards 75th percentile as well weighing 12kg. However our heights are still in the 50th percentile with 85cm and 83cm respectively. The other thing which also remains unchanged is big head circumferences, Reyden's 97th percentile with 51cm and Reyes' 90th percentile with 49cm.

GogoBambini

Mummy decided to bring us to Go-Go Bambini again before school starts on Mon. We'll probably will have to wait for quite sometime before we get to go again. We were supposed to go with Dan and Yaz but Aunty Fi had a change of mind and brought them to Jacob Ballas instead. We had Yangyang and Kaiser joined us at GGB though.

Mr Men and Little Misses Show

Mummy was so happy that this is near our place at Compasspoint and it has the perfect 4pm timing on weekdays too. It was a disappointment to see the crowd when we reached there at 3.50pm. Then we realised they only allow kids that can be left on their own to be inside the watching area. We "moved" the whole gang to Level 2 to watch. The initial part when they "jumped" out, shouted "Hello" and danced was fine but as the show progressed, we were seen wandering around the area. Perhaps cos we aren't near enough to be captivated by the characters. We didn't finish the show and made our way to KFC instead.

Hello Kitty Show

Mummy brought us to Junction 8 for the Hello Kitty show today. This show is slightly different from the Barney and Sesame Street shows cos they are performing in the form of storytelling. Of cos there are singing and dancing involved as well though not as much as the other shows.

Anyway the interesting part about this HK show is there was foam coming out as snow halfway thru the story. It made the setting looks beautiful. But a word of caution for mummies with younger kids, do not sit too near to the front cos the foam will spurt out suddenly and alot will land on your kids in which might frighten them.

Note for those who wishes to catch this Hello Kitty show: Today is their last day at Junction 8. They'll be at Tampines Mall from the 9th Dec till 21st Dec. Can refer to the previous shows listing Mummy posted.

We'll be going for the Mr. Men & Little Misses at Compasspoint next week. See you all there!!

From swaying trees to galloping horses, the Babies Proms promises to be a real treat and not to be missed introduction to classical music and the orchestra. The tickets were sold out pretty early. Mummy managed to get us 2 tickets from a forum mummy. Thank you to her for letting us have her tickets.

Mummy was sick and busy with ...

Wonder why there wasn't any blogging done for the week? This had been an uneventful week for us cos Mummy was down with gastric flu for the beginning of the week. And for the rest of the week, she had been busy ... "cheonging" sales again! Yes, it's year end and load of sales are coming. Mummy had went for the Fox and Infantino Sale. She didn't buy alot this time round, probably cos we had outgrown most of the sale items but she's looking forward to the Mattel and Gimmil building sale though.
