Random photos

Haven't had much new photos of Josh recently, cos it's so hard to snap him as he will try to snatch my iphone or the camera whenever they are in his sight. Managed to find some random shots taken in the last few months......

Looks cool?

From Childcare to Pre-N

Josh has been attending childcare when he turned 18 months. Even though my mum is looking after Josh, we put him there at such a young age to let him learn to socialize and pick up some life skills, since he's an only child. Sad to say, after 9 months, he still plays on his own at childcare. And he doesn't mention anything about his friends or what he learns or do over there. We were wondering if he really enjoyed going to childcare, and felt that it might be a good time to make a change as he's turning 2.5 yrs soon.

Starting from this month, we transferred Josh from Cherie Hearts to Pre-N class at Little Wings. Little Wings is under PCF, but managed by NTUC, and it's newly renovated about 6 months ago. Last week was his first week at Pre-N, attending a 2-hour "Minnie Class" in the morning. Seems like so far so good.....we asked him if he likes going to school and he gave a loud "YES".  Maybe with a smaller class and lesser kids than at the childcare, Josh gets more attention from the teachers, who will not be busy with changing diapers, toilet breaks, bathing and feeding. He likes to play with adults, but doesn't know how to interact with other kids, like somehow he can't communicate in "kids language". Once he starts settling down at the pre-n, I am thinking of enrolling him for weekend play classes at Julia Gabriel, which came highly recommended by most friends. 

Have a great bunny year ahead!

Happy bunny year to all! Sad to say it hasn't been a superb start to the bunny year as I have been down with a very bad bout of flu....been falling sick frequently the past few months, so hope that my health would get better (hence haven't been posting recently :P). Daddy has been very sweet during this period, taking care of the spring cleaning while I rested in bed. Not to mention taking care of Josh when he wakes up at 7plus am in the morning, so that I could get a few more winks. Thank you Daddy!! :)

Overall, it's been a hectic and busy new year....starting with rushing for 2 reunion dinners of CNY's eve (from west to east and east back to west), first day of new year again travelling to and fro to visit relatives followed by family dinner with Daddy's family at our place. 2nd day we had our friends n kids over at our place for steamboat, so lots of preparation and cleaning as well. The kids had much fun playing with sparklers at the playground after dinner. 3rd & 4th day went house visiting plus a round of MJ at our friends' place. 

We hope to teach Josh from young the values of kindness and empathy, especially during times of celebration to share our blessings with the less fortunate. So 10% of his angbao money will be donated to a charity....and we will do this for him till he is old enough to choose his own preferred charity.

Meantime, our family is looking forward to an exciting and eventful bunny year ahead....new place, new beginnings, new changes!

Josh kept chasing n hugging Uncle Jeff's doggie, CoCo. Poor CoCo was traumatized by the overzealous boy!
