Everyone needs to learn their ABC’s, and as the kids are in school, they have been getting these ABC assignments.

Nicole is in Primary 1 and she just got an ABC assignment. She has to find words to describe A to Z.

For example, A is Apple, B is for Ball.

My little Princess decided to be creative, and not do the simple Apple and Ball thing. So she is trying to think out of the box and find words that match the alphabet.

This is what she has so far.

E is for Email

G is for Google

I is for iPhone

W is for Window

Y is for YouTube

M is  for Mouse (Not Mummy )

and of course…she wrote this by herself..without any prompting (I must add)

D is for DADDY

and that is why…she is Daddy’s Princess!

Nicole is 7 years old this year. And she has yet to drop any of her baby teeth! This is considered really slow, because she had friends who started when they were in K1!

Well, looks like history is in the making! She has ONE shaky tooth, finally! But what an amazing tooth it is! Let me show you a pictorial. Do focus your eyes on those centre pearlies.

Nicole – March 2010

Nicole – December 2011

Nicole – 17 March 2012 (Can you see the gap…?)

Nicole – 31 March 2012 (That one tooth is overlapping the other, while the gap widens)

And this is today—5 April 2012:

My baby’s teeth moved! Or her jaw grew larger! And in God’s miraculous ways, the teeth just moved with it!

We can’t wait to lay our hands on that one tooth and yank it off. But of course, that would mean holding down a very violent and aggressive 7yr old girl. We checked with the dentist too, and he says it’s her jaw growing, and since no adult teeth is out yet, the gap in between teeth naturally increases! *phew!*

So the tooth fairy continues her wait… … ……  Anyone else had teeth move or jaws growing so obviously?

UPDATE – 10 April

The tooth came off! “When I was blowing my nose” . . .

So she wrote her first note to the Tooth Fairy. My oh my… check out her note!

She wants $50 for her tooth, and then she changed her mind and she wanted more. She even wrote down her address so that the Tooth Fairy would not lose her way.

I quickly said, the tooth fairy only comes for your FIRST tooth and never again! As this magical fairy is a bit expensive to keep ALIVE!…Fairy Tales are a bit expensive to upkeep in pragmatic Singapore… hahaha….

Theme parties are definitely in fashion at the moment. Although we are not silly as to make parties where people dance as Nuns (Escape Chapel Party), there are certainly more prudent options.

For the kids, we have had  a “Milo Party”  for Nicole, a “Mad Science” Party for Nathan, and now for little Nadine…we have decided to hold a:

OREO Party

 

Yes! I am sure that all children love OREO cookies, and we thought that having games “tailored” around a favourite family snack will add excitement to our party.

We have just got together our invites, and hopefully we can come up with some really fun OREO games for the party!

If you have any good party games, do let us know!

Yes! It’s the time of the year again for Nathan’s Birthday and this year, it was extra special for him, as he had his 1st theme party!

Previously, Nicole had Theme Party’s like “Traffic Light Party” and “Milo Party”, and we were never the type to settle for anything ordinary. And in the same way, if you are tired of the normal Magic Show, you might want to try having a “Mad Science” Party.

All the Kids love parties, and they could not wait to enter the Party room, as soon as the Mad Science Crew arrived.  Check out the excitement in Nathan’s eyes, as he waited for the party to start!

Mad Science is the world’s leading fun science enrichment program which provides in-school workshops, science days, corporate events, school holiday camps and birthday parties. Through their innovative experiments, kids get to discover science in a really fun way.

We chose the “Icky Gooey Bubbly” theme for Nathan’s Party, and through it he discovered the effects of alcohol on fire, the power of carbon dioxide and dry ice bubbles!

Mad Science has many different themes on offer if you are thinking of having a Birthday Party. Besides the “Icky Gooey Bubbly” theme, there are other themes like “Dinosaurs” and “Air Blast”.

The kids’ eyes just opened in delight as they saw the chemical reactions that happened right in front of their eyes.  A BIG Plus point of every experiment is that they got to play with the foam and the bubbles created by the chemical reactions.

A BIG  highlight of the Party were the Dry Ice Balloons that was created by the Mad Scientist.  Check out their curious excitement, as they saw the bubbles being formed in front of them!

The experiments really spark imaginative learning and provides a truly spectacular and unique experience for the children.

Besides the fun tattoos, the kids also get to experiment with making their own Mad Science Slime, which they get to take home!

With 20 years of experience behind them, Mad Science created an atmosphere of fun, while showing how science can affect our environment.

Here’s the Happy Birthday Boy with his “Goody Bag” and no party will be complete without his Birthday Cake!

 

Once again, many thanks to Mad Science for making Nathan’s day extra special. You can find out more about their programs and birthday parties over here.

It’s time for a blast from the past…

Recently, I was clearing up the CD ROMs in my room, and I stumbled upon an unmarked disk.

I popped it into my PC and to my surprise I found my Wedding Power point!

Yes! I got married in 2001, and back then, multi media presentations were still not as easy to create as today.

This presentation was done using a flash player, and I think the project was pretty decent for a 2001 production done by a friend….of course…I am always bias, when it comes to my blog and videos

Anyway…Check out my old photos, as the video takes you back in time!
