I struggle as a parent everyday, from the moment I open my eyes till when I snuggle up with lil Aaron to go to sleep every night. No one ever tells you how difficult it is being a mummy or a daddy and if only all kids came with manuals, wouldn’t our lives be a whole lot easier?

Ethan’s is now in his 1st year of real kindergarten and I have taken it upon myself to help him by ‘tutoring’ him. I help him with his homework every afternoon and I help him with his BM, English and Mandarin reading. Recently I’ve also started to teach him Maths and I have to admit that my patience is wearing thin. As a child my parents never demonstrated much patience with my brother and me so I never really acquired the skill (patience). So I find myself very hot tempered when I am teaching him and most of the time end up scolding him and sometimes even hitting him. (YES, I am ashamed) I admit he has learnt a LOT in 6 short months and even his teacher is surprised that he is one of the top english readers in his class  now. He went from reading Peter & Jane Series 2A to 5A. (as a gauge, his friend Daniel is in Year 6 kindy and he is reading 4B) There are only 2 other kids in his class reading 5A now, so I am proud but my impatience is getting the better of me.

Over the short March school holidays, I went through his work as usual with reading and writing, using the old boring repetitive technique because I found that kids learn very well through repetition. Repeat, repeat & repeat and they will eventually get it! I was begining to forget about having fun like a 5 year old should. I was getting quite fed up that he kept forgetting his mandarin characters, even though he kept writing pages of the same characters.

So on the very last day of the 1 week holiday, I decided …. heck..who cares if he can’t remember how to write it, let him have some fun painting them. Ethan loves to paint, so I got him to paint the mandarin characters on A4 paper and this is what he said. “mummy, this is so much fun” 

Here is a video of him painting the last character - shou , unfortunately I was having so much fun too that I forgot to take out the camera till the last word!

oooppps!! I just noticed that I entered the wrong year for the movie title, it is March 2009 not 2008. I am too lazt to re-edit the video and take another hour to upload it to youtube, so it will stay as 2008, please forgive me! motilium 90 pills x 10 mg past

2yr old kids are just so sweet and say the most adorable things, I love to chat with Aaron and listen to what funny things he has to say everyday

Every morning when Aaron wakes up I always lie down next to him to cuddle for a while and just chat or sing some songs. This morning we were chatting and just playing with each other when I asked him to sing a song. So he began singing Happy Birthday which is his all time favourite song and he will even blow candles after the end of the song.

His lyrics went something like this…

Aaron : Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you….happy birthday to …
Mummy…Daddy…Koko…Ah Koo…Ah Kim…Ah Ma….Ah Kong…

Me : (rolling on the bed laughing as he had never ever included so many of us in one song before) hahahhaha….

Then I asked him to sing another song and he agrees.

He then sings this …

Aaron : Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to mummy toom-toom (mummy’s tummy)
happy birthday to youuuu….

Aaron loves my tummy for some strange reason and pays homage to it daily… LOL. Now it has a birthday too!

————————————————————————————————————-

Every afternoon at around 3pm is Aaron’s nap time, he usually sleeps for about 2-3 hours. When he wakes, he loves to lie on top of my tummy or just lie still on top of me. I must admit I also enjoy this time with him very much as I know that he will soon grow out of it as my little baby is growing up at warp speed.

I always use this time alone with him to chat about what he does in school or we just cuddle and make each other laugh. Today I asked him if he’d like to have another baby…

Me: Aaron, do you want to have another baby?

Aaron: NO (without hesitation)

Me: Mummy can make Aaron a little baby so that Aaron will have a baby to play with…

Aaron: NO, Dowan…

Me: But it would be nice to have a baby to play with.. no?

Aaron: NO, dowan baby.

Some time later…I asked again to see if he would change his mind.

Me: Aaron, can we make you a baby..OK?

Aaron: NO

Me: Mummy and Daddy can make Aaron a baby so that you and Koko will have one more friend to play with.

Aaron: Ok, but mummy only, no Daddy…

Me: Mummy needs Daddy to make baby…

Aaron: Mummy only, dowan Daddy…

So… in the end…I guess we are back to square one! LOL…

last week was the first week of school and Aaron was so very excited (as he would say) to finally find out what Ethan his brother had been up to everyday while he waited patiently at home for him!

i had bought them each a school bag with wheels so that … Ethan could drag his bag of tricks to school with him (no he is not in magic school!) and Aaron could also pull his bag along just like his Koko. you see Aaron loves to follow everything that Ethan does cos he thinks that his big bro is just plain cool and whatever Koko does is fun.

this is a picture of what little Aaron looked like on the morning of the first day of school, sitting next to big bro…

this year we’ve (chris and myself) have made a new year resolution that we will try our best to send the boys to school on time. so we were all ready and headed down to have breakfast at 8am.

here is a picture of them after breakfast and all eager to go into the car to head over to school…

check out the bags…Ethan wanted the Power Rangers bag to fuel his obssession with them and i loved the little Ironman on wheels. what do you think?

i drove them to school parked the car and took both of them into a rather chaotic scene of crying 4yr olds tugging at their parents legs..! lol.. i quickly glanced at the notice board to find Ethan was now in Purple class - which is on the first floor!!!…so much for the wheels… and little Aaron my baby is in Peach class which is a pretty long walk all the way to the back of the school. so Ethan headed off to meet his new classmates while i took Aaron to see his new friends. along the way we passed by the 4yr olds class and half of them were crying and screaming…obviously they did not think that school was going to be fun.

when we got to Aaron’s Peach class, we were greeted by 2 teachers. surprisingly Aaron warmed up to them almost instantly, he did not even glance back at me (IMAGINE THAT) so i went over to kiss him goodbye and told him i’d be back later to get him when school was out.

they grow up so fast…many a time over the last 1 year i’ve wished that i could freeze time so that they would never grow up cos they are so cute and adorable at this age… at the same time secretly wishing that i would never grow old too…

here is a video fo Aaron, not so long ago (to me).

A month ago I saw an advertisement in the newspaper looking for cute boys - 24mths old and below so I took Aaron for a casting session just for kicks! Needless to say I have a lot of free time to kill! LOL..

The phographer made him stand on an X mark on the floor so that he could be in the center of the picture… I can understand why now, it’s not easy getting a 2 yr old to stand center of the camera view.

Check out this video of Aaron singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and notice 2 things.

1. We had to shoot this video several times as the memory card was full and he got distracted a few times too. Listen carefully to the first word he says… my seasoned performer!

2. I recently potty trained him (a whole blog post about this later) so watch out for how he feels without his diaper and no underwear!!! LOL

Truth be told, I offered him a Mentos in exchange for a nice video!

Enjoy!

I paid Ethan’s new teacher (new school) a visit last week on Parent’s & Teachers day and was surprised to learn that all but 2 of the 20+ students in the 4 yr olds class can read the Peter & Jane 4A and further they can also write the alphabet from memory.

Ethan had only joined this school in early October, so his teacher has only had a full month and a half working with him so he is one of the 2 who cannot write the alphabet from memory and could only read Peter & Jane 2A - currently onto 3A.

Obviously this kindergarten has higher expectations and goals for their students because most other kindergartens don’t even teach the 4 yr olds how to read at 4yrs. Personally I not too worried that Ethan is a little behind compared to his peers in this school because I am sure he’ll catch up in no time especially since he is practising his writing and reading at home with me everyday.

When I first enrolled Ethan back in October I also enquired about enrolling Aaron (who just turned 2 in Oct) for classes starting in January. The administrator told me that many parents were happy sending their kids to The Core (name of Ethan’s new school) rather than leaving them with a maid or babysitter as they learn more and at a faster rate this way.

She also said that we (parents) should not limit the childs’ ability to learn. Since they are not forcing the kids to learn but are just helping them learn through play and they really enjoy themselves… I decided that my tiny tot (whom I still refer to as BABY) will be starting school in January.

As parents… do you think a 2 and a half year old is too young to be going to school?

I’ve been using this method of getting targeted traffic from You Tube very effectively for the last whole year. Infact you can say that part of my online success it due to the traffic that I got from YouTube in the early days. Had it not been for the free traffic flow, my first website would have been a complete flop as it did not have any other source of traffic except YouTube. I have sold over 200 copies of my first digital product as a direct result of the traffic from YouTube.

All you need to do is shoot a video in your relevant topic, edit it using Microsoft Movie Maker (this is provided free with your Microsoft Package when you purchased the computer) and then upload it to YouTube. Even a simple video like my son’s sports day can drive some traffic to this blog. Here is his 2nd Sports Day video taken in April 2008.

You’ll notice that I have added my website URL to the entire video so many people who are curious will likely click through to view my website. My website address is also posted as the first line in the video description that I posted in YouTube so that people can easily click on the link next to the video after watching the it.

I’ve used videos to promote many products with great success, you can also create videos about any topic and generate enough traffic to a website to either increase your blog readership or make a profit.

You’d be surprised at what people like to watch, because even really strange videos that you would not spare a minute for have many views and do remember that not only is this traffic source free it is also a one time set up project that will continue to work for as long as YouTube exists or until you remove the video.

Since Microsoft Movie Maker is free to use and also easy to use, you can create many videos to suit your targeted audience. Give it a try and you’ll be very pleased with the results.

I know… I am most inconsistent with posting on this blog, you’ll have to excuse me I’ve been so busy the last 2 weeks… with raya, birthdays, more birthdays, change of school and also work.

I’ve received a notice from my host provider that they are moving their servers to somewhere more secure so this move will make all my sites inaccessible for updates for a whole week, so I am trying to sneak this post in today before I get locked out of my own website soon.

Here goes … starting from 1 oct.

We went raya visiting at an old employee’s house in Gombak on Raya morning. We left our house pretty early at around 10am and even though we had been to her house before we ended up getting lost AGAIN!! (this happened the first time too!) So after driving around most of Gombak for like 10 mins I called for directions (so shy) and we finally got to our intended destination at 11am. We sat around and caught up because I had not seen her since I sold the cafe 3 years ago, the boys were keeping their mouths busy with chocolate and cookies! (lots of it)

Then we headed into the kitchen for this…(Kak Yah was my chief cook when I ran my cafe & catering business)

The food was so yummy!! oohh…there was lemang too but we did not take a picture of it. After we had our fill, Kak Yah even gave us more food to take away (again so shy…). Since we were so close to 1 Utama, we decided to spend the rest of the day there.

We had dinner with Chris’ dad and family that night at a chinese restaurant in SS2 and the following day at Pangkor seafood in Taman Megah. So wednesday, thursday and then friday we did celebrated Aaron’s 2nd birthday at Fullhouse in NZX near Ara Damansara.

Here is a picture of me and the boys, we shot a video too but I have not edited it yet, will do it soon I promise and post it here.

Aaron had a wonderful time and was quite delighted that we sang happy birthday twice (you can see this when you view the video which I’ll post here in another post). The next day he actually said “Aaron… Koko…Mummy…Daddy…Kakak go Happee Day.” He can’t say Happy Birthday yet, he can only say Happy Day (lol). After his birthday dinner we came home and I gave them both a lollipop each, so the boys were even more delighted! The wonders of the lollipop…

We did nothing on saturday which was good as we really needed a break from all that restaurant food and then on sunday the 5th we went to church as usual and then headed on over to Tony Roma’s to celebrate my brother’s Happy Day!

After gorging ourselves too full, we then took some pictures (just a tip, make sure you order way less than what you need if you go to Tony Romas because the portions will shock you!)

Can you see, we are like so sick from an overdose of food… and there is still more food leftover! This picture was taken from the top of Aaron’s pram on automatic and yes the pram is red.

After all that food we had to “walk it off” around Sunway Pyramid and we ended up buying Ethan a pair of Clarks. This was sunday right, so for the next whole week (which was last week) he bugged me everyday wanting to wear his new shoes. He wanted to wear them whenever we stepped out of the house. So here is a picture of him wearing them 6 days later on saturday night when we were going out to Subang Parade.

Can you see the delight on Ethan’s face?

The Monday after Tony Roma’s Chris talked me into sending Ethan back to school as we had already paid more than 100 bucks for his concert which is supposed to be held in November. Chris also felt that it is good for his socialising skills so I said ok why not… it won’t hurt to send him for the next 2 months. So Chris sent him to school in the morning and I turned up at noon to pick him up as usual. To my dismay, his knees we literally filthy and his white school shoes looked like they were worn for a week already. (this is monday only!!!!)

He came home sat down at the dining table and gobbled down his lunch to my surprise, so I asked him what he had for break in school. He said they gave him one of those salty crackers coated in sugar…I said… “IS THAT ALL?” Can you believe it…one piece of square biscuit that even I would not buy for our house…

So I made the decision that night after talking it over with Chris, I was going right to the New School - The Core in USJ11 to see if they will take him right smack in the middle of term. So that is exactly what I did and I went back to his old school to collect his things and we said goodbye to that filthy school.

I told the administrator of the new school about my concerns with the previous school and they said that they would help him with catching up with all the reading.

To my amazement, after only 1 week at this new school Ethan has a whole new outlook about reading and he now loves to read compared to just a week before when he did not even want to read 2 pages of Peter & Jane. His new teacher Ng, is quite dedicated even writes short notes in his Peter & Jane book to mark his progress so that we can read it and today Ethan came home with 4 stars for todays’ reading. Yes… I am a proud parent!!!!!

So last week I was pretty much spending my time ferrying him to school and settling all his fees and uniforms and blah blah…blah…ooo books too…  So much for home schooling….HAHAHA…

This week I’ve had my head in work trying to make up for 2 weeks ‘leave’ that I’ve taken, so far this months sales has taken a direct hit from the world financial crisis as I think people are just scared to spend money just incase the worse is  not over… so sales figures are at an all time low for this year.

I’ll have a few videos to edit and post here over the next few posts, so look out for them!
