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!!!
