Toddler : 22nd months 1 week

We supposed to be learned about Chinese New Year this week. As the printer has run out the ink, I couldn't print the pics. So we just filled the week by playing and playing. Not so much we did. Here there are:

ABC: coloring Nn

The last day of the week , we did the ABC's coloring. And it's time for letter N. He didn't so into it. I just helped him coloring it.

Math: Sticker #1

After finishing the 1st row of coloring the number 1 to 10, now I'm going to give him some activity according to the numbers. I'll ask him to paste some stickers related to the numbers.

This week, I asked him to paste the sticker number 1.

Tracing Straight Lines

He did the tracing from right to left...and he didn't wanna be helped...boy...boy!!

Practical Life
*Sorting the colors beads*

When doing this, he was able to do the first 2 things. He sorted the blue and yellow, as you saw in the pic. Then he decided to stop and just played along with the beads rather than did the sort. @(@

*Transferring using tweezer*

After he did the sorting, he asked me to get the tweezer for him. Then he continued his activity by doing this such of transferring using a tweezer. What a progress of him, now he is able to use the tweezer correctly though he needs a little bit power when using it. ^^

*Straw in the holes*

Yiheeeeaaa!!

Now he is able to put the straws and the chopsticks in the holes like this....he did all!!

*Dressing Frame: Big Buttons*

I made a dressing frame of big button for his practical life from flannel as it's so expensive one if I buy it from the supplier. When I gave it to him, he was so excited. But he still couldn't do it well by himself. He still needs my help when opening and closing it. Practice will help him be able to do it later! ^^

Learning Toys

*Dough*

Actually I asked him to play with dough, making something fun with it. The result, he chosed to cut the dough using knife. He's so into in cutting. One day he may become a chef...may be.....

*ABC small foam mat*

I really proud of him. In his almost 2 years, he is able to recognize some alphabet. When I gave these letters (a to f), he mostly put the letter by him and just need a little help from me. ^^

Reading

Now he can mention some stuffs in his magazine. Like, what Mickey's wearing on his hat or what Oso's doing or something that enforce his speaking skills.

I really like to have conversation with him now...^^

Maids equal parasite

Mom-notebook,

I'm totally sick with maids nowadays...

I really couldn't put my mind on their minds. What are their hell thinkin' exactly when they have to work?

Just now, I've heard my maid's phone was ringing. Man...in the middle of lately night!!!! Who's the damn call her, huh?? Don't ya have another time to get chit chat, dude???

This afternoon, one of colleagues shared her stories bout her maid. She's an old gorgeous woman that I called her, "Laoshi". She is a Mandarin teacher. She is old but she looks so healthy and fresh.

She told me how she was so desperate looking for a maid who wants to work for her. She has gone to some maid's institution and most of them were sucks.

They ask us to pay lots of money to get a maid and they also trained their maid to be unrespected to us. How? By getting away after 3 months. They are so smart. They give us some reasons to be believed that they'll come back again after that. And we waited...then they'll not coming back again after that.

The impolite things are when we are in the institution to interview them. They ask the simple chores, need to work together with pairs, refused to work alone and it's ok to use cell phone.

When we have to deal with the work we belong, we as an educated people never mention some list to the boss. How come they do to us?

They can't live without phone....they rather resign from their work than have to release their phone. Can't u imagine that? And they did just online with their phone while doing the chores. So many tricks they do to be online.

It's seem that we were being in a difficult position when hiring a maid. We have to deal with their attitude, their untidy working and also their fake face. On the other hand, some people are really need their extinct to help them as they're busy with their works.

For me...I really don't need their extinct near me as they are living as parasite!!

Grey's Anatomy

Mom-notebook,

I LOVE this series so much!!!!

I watched the series from the beginning when I didn't get any pregnant. It was June 2008, few weeks before the line said positive.

I'm a person who always scared with blood, hospital and surgery...everything that related with those...and to be honest, I was so afraid to get pregnant.

For my whole life, I've never been on surgery or even staying in bed at the hospital. Going to the doctor was seldom for me. I rather to swallow some pills that I could get it from the pharmacy than go to the doctor and he probably would write the same receipt.

So it's amazing when I could watch this kind of series without any fear seeing blood, injection, surgery and everything inside.

After I finished watching, I wanted to get pregnant and I did. ^^

Back to this series, I had watched it till the 4th session, the complete series at that time. And right now, I'm back to watch again the 5th session that actually had been on air last year. It's going to the session 7 now, and I HAVE to watch it till the end!

Seeing the review here and here

Yellow mellow...

Mom-notebook,

I'm really not in good mood for few days recently. I don't even know what's actually happen to me.

When I watched Toys Stories 3, Ali had bought it for me on Friday, I dropped my tears in the last scenes. As it was the saddest part of the movie when all the toys have to say good bye with Andy.

I just felt that it was very sad when we have to say good bye with someone special. Especially with the one who always be with us for a long long time. I really can't face it if someone close to me will go away forever and I'll never see him or her or them anymore for the rest of my life. I really can't accept the good bye part in my life. Really hard to accept it, though I know I have to!

Then with other things I really can't express too. But right now, I feel so down, sad and sometimes I get angry. Swing mood!!
