Posing with yummy Baked Alaska ice-cream cake from Island Creamery with additional M&Ms on the top! Slurppp

Back to school

Since we live a little further away, the girls had to wake up
15min earlier. Thankfully they are such angels! To make things better, we were greeted by one of the resident cats, Midnight, on the first day of school.

Can you spot him?

Little bean bags

Ah Ma's handmade 5 stones and 2 bean bags for the girls are made of different types of beans: green beans, red beans and black beans.

Endless of fun of balancing the bean bags on their head and for now, 5 stones for me! Heh

Baby Bryan Matthew Tay

We have a new addition to our family - Bryan Matthew Tay! The girls' cousin was born on 2 June and he is such a bundle of joy!




Uncle Doug the happy father!

New look

The girls had a hair cut earlier this week and they are loving' their whole new chic and sassy look!

Chwee Kuay!!

Chwee Kuay.. The must have for Chelsey when she is at the market. It's her all time favourite breakfast. She can eat up to 3 pieces!! But we need to keep an eye on her 'chai poh' intake - too salty!






At our fav breakfast haunt: Ghim Moh Market

School work in progress

End of term is when a bundle of school work is brought home.
Check out how well the girls have progressed.

I'm one proud mummy! :)

Last day of school

From their grin, the girls can't wait for the holidays to begin :)

The move

We found a new home that is still reasonably near to the loving Grandparents.
We will moving in a couple of weeks time.

Here is our little C2 stamping her approval!

C1's homework

Chloe has a worksheet to complete every weekend. Thankfully she enjoys doing them.

Here is one of the worksheets.

Chelsey's joined Chloe in school

It's been a month since Chelsey has joined her sister Chloe at school.

Chelsey has immersed wonderfully well. Not a single tear shed plus her sister keeps an eye on her. Not forgetting the awesome teachers!



Cherry dresses to chase away the morning blues

Drawings by C1

Chloe has an artistic side. She likes drawing, colouring and painting. This is her artwork she drew and coloured this afternoon.



L-R: Cat & butterfly

Phuket holiday in Jan

We went for our annual holiday to Phuket earlier this month. The girls seriously enjoyed themselves! We swam everyday.. Sometimes twice a day! Lighted up our own fireworks display and released those wishing lanterns.

Here are just some pix taken from my mobile, check out more in my Facebook.

Funny faces

While waiting for the plane to take off enroute back to Singapore, C1 and I decided to .. (Can't think of a better word) 'camwhore'!

Peanuts!

Looks at Chloe's harvest! Peanuts anyone?

Ready for havesting?

Green beans looks ready... Green bean soup anyone?




How about peanuts?




There is chilli too!!

Yup, these plants are cared for by our Little Green Fingers - Chloe!!

Location:Central Expy,Singapore,Singapore

While waiting for C1 to return home with Papa

Keeping ourselves occupied while we wait for Papa to fetch C1 home from Ah-Ma's house.






Love C2's happy face! Makes me want to pinch her cheeks!

Birthday card for Grandma

Made with love from Chloe, with her friends, Sean and Ryan.

Flowers for Grandma

With AhMa's help, C1 made a bouquet for Grandma's birthdate earlier this week.

She really has green fingers!

Chelsey is 21 months!

Our little Angel - Pretty in Pink! 

C2 giving her BIG SMILE =)

Chelsey turned 21 months earlier this month.

She is a little smaller than other kiddos her age (20th percentile) and that makes her a little more extra special in a way that she needs to be 'protected' more. But, I still try to love both my girls the same amount, not that anyone can actually measure it, and I want to and try practice - NO FAVOURITISM!!
( I realised that I have already blogged 3 posts on Chloe (its her birthday month too) and none about Chelsey so this post will be a little longer to make up for it.)

Actually, I do not have any exciting or big news about our little C2 except that she is perfectly healthy, smiley, interactive and enjoys all the little things little girls like - stuffed toys, swimming, everything pink or purple, the once-a-week chocolate treat, attending school at Zesty....She is also rather advanced in her motor skills and ability to understand whatever we say or ask her to do. Even distinguishing colours!!
But, like all babies and kids, everyone develops on their own pace. For Chelsey, she is a little slower than others in her development of language skills but that's normal too coz she is not 2 yet. Her communication skills are great as she is able to express herself and tell you what she wants by pointing, screamming, nodding or shaking her head. We are trying to encourage her in expressing herself verbally and hopefully she will be able to speak more by the time she is 2.

No matter what, she IS and will always be special to us!!
