Last day of school in Learning Visions
Today is Evangeline's last day of school at Learning Visions @ Changi. We took some pictures for her and her with teachers who had taught her.
Throughout this year, she has grown a great deal and graduated from Toddlers class to Nursery 1 within 8mths. I've spoke with her current teacher, Teacher Nadiah and was been informed that she is a sociable girl who could interact well with her peers.
She is also very vocal in her speech and a usual helper to teachers. She knows the class rules well and would always feedback to her teachers if her friends/classmates did something out of the class rules. She eats well in school and would take her time to finish the food if it is not to her liking. However, if she likes the food, she'd finished it fast. She's a neat girl and would eat her meal without making a mess. However, a point to note is that she has little confidence of herself and required more encouragement when it comes to doing schoolwork and assignments. She always say she can't do it but with a little encouragement from her teacher and friends, she is able to complete her work.
Overall, her friends and teachers will be missed by her and vice versa.

Talk like an adult
Today, Evangeline talked to her grand-ma like an adult. As usual, ma-ma woke her up for school. Guess what she replied her ma-ma??? You'll be surprised!
Ma-ma: Evangeline, wake up! Go to school oredi...
Evangeline: Don't disturb me! I want to sleep!
Ma-ma: (expression is shocked and laughed}
She is not even 3yrs old yet know how to answer such words. Personally, I find it very amazing that she can speak like an adult. Then, her ma-ma asked her gong-gong to go wake her up. She answered him the same way. Sometimes I wondered where she learnt all these from! Ultimately, they managed to wake the sleepyhead for school. I wasn't there to witness the whole incident. My girl is growing up...

Drawing circle
I must say Evangeline knows how to hold a pen or pencil. She can focus on an object & colour the inner part of it. She holds onto her magic pencil and draw circle on her drawing board (although its not really very very circle but you can tell it's a circle!). She drew many circles and coloured them all. She could also write No 1. Very soon she'll be able to write her name!

1st long holiday to LONDON & PARIS
Date: 23rd Aug - 7 Sep 2010
It was Evangeline's 1st long trip! We decided on London because my brother is there and mum can visit him. Paris was a throw-in because it was just 2hrs away by train from Paris and little Evangeline can visit Disneyland.
Evangeline has taken a flight before - to Phuket when she was 1.5yrs old. Then, she was still little and didn't exactly know much things. Now, this is a challenge for her and us to be on a 12hrs flight! I wondered if she could handle the long hrs! She was great! She was very excited to be on a plane. We took SQ and when she saw the crew, she kept saying:" Mummy, your friend!" She watched Dora the Explorer and a few other kids programmes. She ate and fell asleep. She didn't have earache problem as I made her drink water when aircraft is ascending & descending.

Promoted to N1
From today onwards, Evangeline has been promoted to N1 - Talented Tigers in Learning Vision CC. With her toddlers teachers advice & encouragement, they felt Evangeline is capable enough to proceed to N1 as she is able vocalised herself very well.
Based on her new teacher Nadiah's feedback, she adapted very well in class. There are 5 children in her class, including herself & Rafael (her Toddler Lamb classmate who is also born in Jan 2008). It is better for her to be in N1 as she'll be learning more things such as Letterland and Math.
This week, Teacher Nadiah updated us that she'll be learning "Qq" for Letterland & "4" for Math.

PTC Jul 2010
We just had a Parents-Teacher Conference with Teacher Gerene on last Friday. Teacher Gerene updated us on Evangeline's well-being and progress in school for the first half year in Learning Vision.
Basically, she has done well as a Toddler. She could do almost all the things that are required or expected of her as a Toddler. She is also the first and only toddler who is toilet-trained, progressed from wearing diapers to telling teachers her needs of going to the toilet for wee-wee and poo-poo.
She is extremely vocal too. Being able to express herself in English language and speak in proper sentence, helps Teachers to understand what she wants or does. She could follow instructions well and interact with her friends. It is inevitable for a toddler to snatch toys whilst at play with her friends. However, once her teacher called out her name - she knows she is in the wrong & will appear upset and sob.
She loves to say "my favourite is purple colour!" and indeed we can tell and see through her artwork. Most of her works are in PURPLE.
She knows her colours and shapes well. At this age, she is able to identify the letters and especially E which is for Evangeline, she said!
Way to go, gal....

New Milestone: Go without diaper!
Hi, it's Mummy updating on Evangeline again...She has grown up a little more now. Since 14 May 2010 - last Friday, she has gone to school without putting on diaper! She knows how to say when she wants to pee or pass motion before doing it. We have been trying to train her at home without diaper during the daytime. And on Friday, she decided to go to school without her diaper. Great job, Evangeline! Way to go....
Yesterday, I was very happy to be informed by Teacher Jerene that Evangeline is very well-mannered. She accidentally peed in her panties without informing the teachers BUT she apologised to both of them for doing so... and looked sad! Well, she's a well-mannered and well-behaved gal and I'm very proud of her.
Today is the 3rd day she went to school without diaper. However, along the way to school, she peed in her panties because she couldn't hold it any longer. But I forgave her because she told me she wanted to wee wee but just couldn't hold it any longer.
I thank God for blessing me with such a lovely and adorable girl... Mummy Loves You, Evangeline.

School progress - 29 Mar 2010
We constantly received emails from her teachers to inform us abt her progress in school. Below is an extract of what Teacher Jerine said:
"Here is a quick update on Evangeline's progress in school.
Evangeline is starting to enjoy school more and participates in activities enthusiastically.
As she is able to vocalise very well, she enjoys helping out her friends during lessons. Once, when we were conducting lesson on bags, we showed a child the picture of a bag and asked what it is. Evangeline noticed that her classmate was not answering and whispered to her, 'bag'. This had happened a few times, even during chinese lessons.
Also, Evangeline would say 'I pass motion' or 'I wee wee in my diapers' to inform us when she pass urine/motion."
She's been a smart and helpful gal. Good Job!!!

Tactical moves
Evangeline shows her first traits of tactical moves today. We sent her to school as per usual with the exception of fetching Marie to school without Michelle. Upon reaching, I told mum (in Hokkien) that I'll be carrying Marie whilst she takes care of Evangeline. I supposed Evangeline understands Hokkien and once alighted from the car, she immediately said:" Mama, you carry my bag!" After which my mum did, she said:" Mummy, carry me." She knows that I was about to carry Marie and she didn't allow me to do so out of jealousy. Therefore, she asked mama to carry her bag first and requested me to carry her. We all think that there must be some tactical thinking going on in that small little head of hers to come up with such steps and instructions for the two adults!!! Wow, this is the first time we are been instructed tactically by a small and intelligent girl!!! :)

Going to Bethesda Kindergarten - Pasir Ris
Today, Michelle told me that Bethesda Kindergarten is open for registration for 2011. Immediately, both of us went to the school to register for both Marie & Evangeline for Pre-Nursery class next year. It's only March 2010 now... yes, we know... but this is a popular school in Pasir Ris and we were afraid that there may not be a space if we register late, esp morning session.
The school is non air-con (which I like) and each class has its own room (which is good). For the little ones, only school t-shirt is required. They will have to wear their own bottoms. Cool! In fact, we are pretty satisfied with her current school - Learning Vision. However, we are not sure if Teacher Nas will continue to be her teacher next year. And Bethesda Kindergarten is nearer to home (more convenient for mum), it's only 2.5hrs session (not too stressing for Evangeline) and they have term breaks (just like primary schools).
We paid a deposit of S$222.10 to secure a space and on 27 Mar 2010, there will be an open house whereby James & Mum would attend to understand more about the school syllabus and system. By then, we would presume there will be more people enrolling into the school...

Telling the doctor and the doctor says
Today, Evangeline has got eye infection on her left eye. It looks a bit red and we decided to let her skip school and bring her to the paed. As I was working, I couldn't bring her and left the task to my mum. My mum informed that she told the dr: Dr, my eye pain. She knows how to tell where her eye is pain and etc. Her daddy says she is very smart gal. Knows how to tell dr that her eye is pain.
Dr says her eye had an infection and had to put eye lotion and take anti-biotics. Hope she recovers soon....

Beginning to enjoy school
Evangeline is beginning to enjoy school. Her Teacher Nas informed that she will sing when she is happy in school. E.g: She was at the playground (which is her fav) and she started singing "Do-Re-Mi" song and surprised her teachers. As they did not teach her this song in school. She learnt it through her mummy cos her mummy is a BIG FAN of "The Sound of Music". Even when she does art & craft in class, she started singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
Evangeline is a very sensible gal for a 2 year old. She appeared happy on last friday and I asked her, "R u happy?" She replied:"yes". Then she asked :"Daddy, R u Happy?" "Mummy, R u Happy" Gosh, she is smart.... Of cos, we replied her positively YES....
We are so happy to have her as our daughter... Lovely daughter.... *kiss kiss*

2nd Birthday Celebration @ home
YEH!
I've got a Dora Laptop as well as a huge set of PlayDoh
Opening her pressies
With grandparents and mama
Happy Family!
She knows how to blow off the candles independently!
All her poses...
Evangeline had a fun time celebrating her 2nd birthday at home on Sat. We could tell that she was very very happy to be in new clothes and many people celebrating and singing birthday song to her. She had a "Strawberry Shortcake" cake (which is Mummy's fav!!!) and Dora the Explorer Agar Agar cake too. She cut the cake happily and also made a wish... We are not too sure if she really know what is "Make a Wish!"... Took many beautiful pix of her...
