A Magician For Chloe’s 7th Birthday

We brought in a magician from New Minas – Tim Valillee for Chloe’s birthday – courtesy of her “Kai Mah” Lina from Singapore. Since Chloe already celebrated her birthday at the movies – we decided to extend the goodwill to her school friends’ instead. Her teacher suggested doing for the lower primary and after a chat – thru’ email with Tim Valillee – he agreed to come down today – for a reasonable price.

Chloe had such a great time – and so did the kids at her school – that I honestly felt that the money spent – was definitely worth every penny. Tim Valillee did such a great job with the kids – that the school is going to bring him back for another occasion.

First SnowMan In 2010

We had some snow for this year – and there was enough left this morning – to let Chloe make a small snowman. She couldn’t wait to get into her snow pants and go out and play.

See her snowman? it’s small – but she did like it so much.

Birthday @ The Movies

This year – we picked to go to the movies with Chloe for her birthday. She invited 11 friends from school and from the store. 9 turned up and 2 with their parents – to give us a hand with the kids. Chloe’s grandparents came too – but didn’t stay for the movie. We wanted to try something different.

The movie we saw was Tangled – it was a great movie – but going to the movies with so many kids – without their parents can be quite tedious. So for now – we won’t go to the movies till she is a lot older with older friends. My princess will be 7 years old soon – time surely flew for us.

School Christmas Concert 2010

Chloe had her school concert a few days ago – if you are wondering why the faces are blocked out – it is because during the concert – we were reminded once again to be responsible netizen – and not put up pictures of other people’s kid – in case of “pedophiles”? So anyhow – while other parents would probably already have my kid’s picture on facebook – I’ve decided to block the other kids face – in case some parents don’t like it. This way – I don’t have to worry who sees this picture online and complain to the principal – after all, I have no time and energy to deal with anymore than necessary.

The concert went well – but Chloe didn’t sing as loud as she did – when she was home in the bath-tub, I asked her why – when she got home – she said she was shy *roll eyes*. We all know “shy” is not in her vocabulary ! Anyhow, this morning – we saw our local cop going into the school when we were dropping Chloe off – and he said – chloe was such a cutie! hahahha!! yes! a naughty cutie.

Precious Moments

Chloe truly warms my heart every day – yes! she can be quite naughty at times – but most times she is a very thoughtful and kind little girl. She wouldn’t ask me to do things that would hurt me – like piggy back her – because she knows I have a bad back. She would be really sad – if she did something to hurt me – like jumping on the bed or rolling around and accidentally kicking me in bed.

Yesterday – she wrote a note to Santa – making sure he knows where his milk and cookies will be when he comes with his presents for her this Christmas. And she also wrote – that she believed in angels! because I was humming that song from Abba – hhahaha! and she even wrote – “Yes, I Do! ” after I sang – I believe in Angels – hahahha!! cute or what! precious moments ! she is too cute!

Report Card For Grade 1

I’m pleased to report that Chloe got her report card back today. All As 2 B s only 1 C – for reading. Her teacher wrote : Chloe has had a good first term. She is making progress at the early grade one level of reading and she does well with her word lists. She tries hard with her writing. Her work is always very neat and shows that she puts lots of effort into it. I need to encourage her to take risks when writing and to give the word a try. She often wants to have all her work done correctly. Chloe is always very pleasant and well behaved. She is kind and helpful to others.

Chloe has definitely come a long way – from when she first started at this school. Yes! i think the teachers play a very important part – Chloe is very lucky – her last year teacher and this year’s were great teachers – who have their own kids – therefore, wasn’t as panicky as the first one. Chloe tries really hard to read and recognize her words and we as parents of course hope she continues to excel in school.

She’s Too Cute Sometimes!

Sometimes she can be so good and cute – but other times – she can be so stubborn and so whiny! The other day after showing her the magazine I had done for her with Today Parents – she went back to school to tell her teacher that she was on a magazine cover – in which her teacher had replied – that they just might have to get her autograph after school. She was so tickled by it – she went around repeating how famous she was now. Yes! that’s my chloe for you – at almost 7 yrs old – she can be quite adamant at some stuff – but at other times – she is so easy to please. Never really asking for much except for time to play with us and read with us. I don’t know what I would have done without having her – it would be quite boring – like we were yesterday – when we went shopping without her – as she was with her grammie’s.

The Teenage Years

I haven’t been sleeping good recently and keep thinking of Nick – PB’s nephew who took his own life recently. Just the other night I dreamt about Nick and I was trying to hold on to him – when I woke up I couldn’t go back to bed. I told PB about it – and his reply was – ” don’t loose sleep on that selfish prick!” I was kinda taken aback – because people who take their own life – do it because they think they have no hope – some do it because they have an imbalance in their body. And whatever reason Nick took his own life I don’t know and never will. But people who resort to this – is not to be taken lightly – it’s a kind of sickness – sometimes it is not even within their control.

I fully understand why some people cannot tolerate this action or selfishness – some may even be angry with them. But let me tell you – this condition is not to be taken lightly – and they are not even in control with what they are thinking at that time. Teenage years are not the same – don’t compare yours with theirs – because things are just different. So parents – be alert – be careful – and be supportive, learn to listen – and learn to be there for them always.

Books For Christmas

As much as I love to get toys for every kid in Chloe’s class for Christmas present – I strongly feel that books may be a better idea. Even chocolates are discouraged by the school these days – so here I am thinking – should we get books to donate to the entire class? or just give money to her teacher to get the books herself. It would be easier to give her the money to get the books – because she would then know what are suitable – and probably get a better deal. But I’m worried – that her teacher might not like the “money” thingie – so what do you all think? buy the books on my own and donate it to the class – or hand the money over and let the teacher pick the books she wants for the class?

I’m An Action Mom !

I’m an action mom! are you? while PB is very relax about stuff – I’m the action one – I like to do things quickly – pick up the phone and find out all the information about it – and get things done. And I pride myself for it – unfortunately, it also bugs me that PB is so relax – and seems like waiting for things to happen and not making things happen. Am I do doer? or am I just overly excited about stuff? I think a balance is good – but when things don’t get done – it kinda makes my heart raise its heartbeat – I don’t know if you know what i mean. But yes ! i’m an action mom! and being an action mom can sometimes caused one to loose lots of sleep. What kind of mom are you?
