First Valentine Gift From Him

His very first Valentine's Day gift for us!!!

Made this with the teacher in the centre and he produly gave it to us when he came home today.

Total Dryness!!!

Surprise! Surprise!! What a great new year surprise for us! Little Nicholas had 5 straight nights of dry diaper now! A big hong bao /savings for the parents!!

I didn't expect him to go diaper free so early..he is only 2 years old!

Even till last night before sleeping, with his diaper on, he requested to go toilet to pee pee! And that was the last pee for the night till this morning 8am! You bet! I'm super happy and couldn't wait to record his proud moment immediately!!

So tonight, I'm gonna try him going diaper free. But, I'm not gonna put undue pressure on him, should he wet his bed, I just have to put him back on diaper. If he remains dry, wow!! he is completely off diaper at 26 months!! What an achievement!! Better than his 2 elder sisters!!!

Hygiene Week

This week, the children learn about Hygiene. They were taught not to put toys into their mouth, when to wash their little hands and have some fun cleaning the toys..so clever of the centre..one stone kills two birds...Spring cleaning and teaching at the same time!

They also did some bubble art. The teacher mixed some colouring into the soap mixture and the little ones blew it onto the paper. They then pasted some pieces of red packets onto the card to make a New Year greeting cards for the parents.

Being the hygiene week, they were each given a hand and foot spa by the teacher!! So shiok!! Little Nicholas enjoyed the lesson so much that this is the first time he could tell me exactly what he did the whole day in the centre! hmm...think my little one is no longer little any more...

Christmas Week In School

This is a super back-dated post, better get it out before it gather dust in my draft post..

For the week to Christmas, the centre got the kids to get down to do some cookies baking.

See how anxious he was...

Eating the fruit of their labour...

They used Playdoh to make snowman too. I was surprised to see him touching the dough as he used to stay away from this type of sticky stuff but guess he had grown up and not so "clean-freak" anymore. Love the way he focus on doing the snowman..hope he would be just as focus on his work when he grows up.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary - Day 8

Visited the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary today. Should have bought the tickets through Internet as it much cheaper than off-the-counter price.

The place is not very well maintain if to compare to our Singapore Zoo. But it does have its plus point. It has a number of animals that is only found in Australia and not in Singapore like the Wombats; Koalas; Dingoes; Possum and Tasmanian Devils. Its the first time we saw how a wombat actually look like though the kids had read about it through storybooks.

We were there just in time for the "Totally Wild & Snake Alive" show and the kids were thrilled to see all the "special" animal like the Possum... The fur is very soft and the Possum is a very shy animal.

They got up close with some snakes too! Kids nowadays are real brave. I remember how afraid I was when comes to snake!!! Let alone holding them!!!!

It drizzle a little and therefore the Crocodile Show was cancelled. However, the kids got to hold the baby crocodile and have their pictures taken for FREE! The girls commented that baby crocodile is very heavy.

Nicholas was excited to see the baby crocodile and feeling it.

Next, we went over to the Kangaroo enclosure to feed the kangaroos. Its similar to our Singapore Zoo's but this place is much bigger and the kangaroos are more active than ours. Little Nicholas was "attacked" by kangaroos twice!

First was when he was trying to feed one of them and another kangaroo came from behind and scratched the little boy's head. He was annoyed and frightened by that action. But after comforting him, he was back to feeding again.

The second time was when he was having his cookies and a kangaroo came over to snatch it from him while he was putting it in his mouth! He was totally shocked.

Just as we were about to leave the enclosure, its started to rain and we hopped onto the tram which bring us to the main gate where the Lorikeet Feeding was. The girls had fun feeding the Lorikeet but suffered "injuries" on their hands as the Lorikeets land on their hands to feed on the food. We hanged around there for almost an hour before the girls are willing to leave.

Day 9

We had a full day today and I had planned to visit the Tropical Fruit Farm but hubby was not very keen. So we drove to Australia Fair (another shopping centre) for some last minute shopping and food and then drove around aimlessly till 5pm before returning to car and back to the apartment to wait for the coach to pick us up. Its really a waste we didn't go for the farm....

Day 7 - Pacific Fair and the Beach

Finally a day of sleep late and no agenda!

After playing some board games and watching cartoon in the apartment, we moved off to Pacific Fair for lunch. Pacific Fair is one of their largest shopping mall there.

Saw this train ride and the 3 kids couldn't wait to hop in to play. While they go a few rounds on this train, mommy took this opportunity to do some shopping.

The big baby found his own entertainment with this and almost bought it! But its cheap as they are having Christmas sale. It cost AUD49 only!

Now you know what my boy's latest interest, couldn't you? Yes! Thomas & His Friends are his favourite now!

Once everyone has satisfied with their "toys", we headed back home. Stop by at the Caravan Park and let the kids played at the playground and had an ice-cream each. The ice-cream is expensive! AUD3.00 per cone and its only from those ice-cream van!!

Head home and change into their swimsuit and walk over to the beach. Little Nic loves the sand! Mommy too! Its what I missed most of Australia. So soft and fine! Wonder how they can keep their beach so clean...compared to our East Coast, our is embarrassing...

The water was super cold! Like ice water. We let the kids played till the sky turns dark before we head back for a quick shower and dinner. Oh, and as the kids play, the big baby (hubby) started day-dreaming about buying an apartment here...
