Just My Rambling

Took this video of Lil’ C & her friend sledding today. They were having too much fun!!

Lil’ C has been taking piano class for a few months already. Originally I never intended for her to start piano so early but it so happens that my neighbor is a piano teacher. She wanted to start a preschool piano group class and needed some guinea pigs. So that’s how she got started on piano classes.

I remember when I was young & took piano classes, I didn’t like them very much. Piano classes were also boring to me. There’s also the dreaded piano exams. So I quit after a while. A fact that I regret sometimes. Well, at least I know if Lil’ C ever quits piano, it will not be for the same reason as mine because they have NO piano exams here!! They just learn whatever they want. Right now C is loving her classes. She has since graduated from preschool piano group class to private class. With the private class, every month they have a little recital among younger kids. This was taken last month at her very first mini piano recital.

Lil’ C is officially four now. She is growing up too fast! Seems like just yesterday that she was toddling around. Although I must say that I really enjoy her now more than when she was a baby. I love the fact that we can carry on proper conversations, crack jokes together etc. I never really grew up with little kids around me, so this is a whole new experience for me. It is really fun seeing the world through the eyes of a four year old. Her thoughts, imagination, creativity and words never fails to baffle me everyday. Of course there are those tantrum days that drives me up the wall but who doesn’t have bad days, right?

Happy Birthday My Litte One!!

I have read a lot of mommy blogs that talk about their kid crying when they go to school. Well, guess what? I have a similar problem except that my problem is completely opposite!! My girl cries when I pick her up from school!!! Today when I went to pick her up, the moment I walk into her classroom, I heard a loud cry. It turned out to be my girl!! She was very upset that school time was over. She wanted to stay back with the other kids who were in the afternoon class. It took a lot of comforting and a little bribery to get her to leave the school. Sigh…. kids!! They really make life interesting, don’t they?

*Dusting off cobwebs* Yes, I am still around. Trying very hard to stay afloat in midst of all the craziness. So after lots & lots of phone calls, negotiation & indecisiveness, I finally decided to have Lil’ C’s birthday party at home. My original intention was to have it at the zoo but the wet & cold weather won that battle. Not sure if the kids would like to be touring the zoo in the nasty weather. After all, Lil’ C only wanted balloons, a cake & her friends around for her birthday. So at home it is!! It will be just a simple quiet playdate / birthday party for her with a few of her good friends.

And guess what this bad mommy did with the money intended for the birthday party? She bought a Wii !! Well, Costco had them on sale & I could not resist the temptation!! Hahaha!!! The Wii package came with a Wii Sports game and Lil’ C has been having a blast playing it. Of course, she’s only allowed to play with the Wii during the weekends. : )

This is for my aunties who wanted to hear Lil’ C read. If you listen carefully, she tends to mumble a lot and also reads really fast. The fast speed is my fault. I think sometimes I read too fast especially when I am tired. So she picks up the habit. Sigh……
