Balqis to the finals

We registered Balqis in another contest a couple of months back. Call me 'obsess', but I am so into paricipating in every baby contets available. It is probably due to our small win in a contest in a CC previously.

She was scheduled for a preliminary round on June 5th at KK hospital. Hope she through. Good luck Balqis!

Curious Ilyasak

Recently I introduced Ilyasak to the 'Curious George' series. He enjoys it very much-be it being read to or his usual daily 1 page reading practice.Although, he tends to mimmick the George the monkey's behaviour too which irritates me ever that much but still put a smile on my face at the end of each stunt which he pulled.
Sadly, the Peter and Jane series are long forgotten. Even the mummy temporarily stash the peter and jane series. Mummy has to get back him read Peter and Jane nevertheless.
When I get him to start reading one of the book in the series-Curious George flies a kite, I was filled with utmost sheer joy as I heard him reading to an almost fluent level. Who wouldn't? When one see your 3yrs 9 months old preschooler reading at such a level without any formal lessons in any phonics school/class. This makes the desire of extending my current SAHM status even longer. Ehmm...

I love balloons!

B's current favourite are balloons. That is the one item she will look for once she wakes up. She would sashay around the house with balloons on sticks which her doting grandpa has put. Its a wonder that such a simple item could create such a strong interest in a toddler.
On some days, you would see her with 3 balloon sticks in her hands. This pretty much occupy the availability of her hands and you would see her trying to scoop up her snacks using her mouth. Her obsession for balloons forbids her from letting go of either one in her hands.
