The 6th Month...

Yeah, finally Andre is 6 mths old and it is time to intro solid to him. But unlike Amadeus, Andre doesn't know how to swallow his cereal. Never mind, today is the first day. Shall try again tomolo.

His milestones so far:
- able to sit unsupported for a few secs
- learning to crawl backwards
- will grab anything in sight and put straight into his mouth
- started to babble some baby words
- loves to play and smiles...

Anyway, jus wanna wish my darling boy to be healthy and smiley always :)

Unable upload video of Andre taking his first solid...shall do it another day...

OUCH!!!

To get to Amadeus' school, we had to either take the lift or the stairs at the Anchorvale CC. While walking towards the lift, Amadeus was pointing to the stairs as I believed tat was his usual routine to school (Normally it was his daddy who brought him there). So thinking tat it shouldn't pose too much problem for me, I used my right hand to hold Amadeus while I was carrying Andre and holding on to his sch bag wif my left hand.


As I was telling Amadeus not to put his hand on the side railing, I missed a footing and fell down a couple of steps together wif Amadeus. I landed hard on my bum and in the process, sprained my left ankle and brusied my right calf. Luckily I hold on tight to Andre and he was not hurt. Tink Amadeus hurt his calf as he kept saying , pain pain. But I didn't see any bruise or bleeding (he did suffered a cut and a bruise on his right calf upon closer examination) luckily he didn't roll down the stairs. A kind auntie walked passed and offered to carry Amadeus down the flights of steps for me :)


Till now both my legs still hurt. Guess I need to go and see the sinseh liao...If not, how to go to Malacca in a week' s time...

Did we make the correct decision???

Hb and I decided to put Amadeus into another childcare centre (CC) which doesn't has aircon and had a better curriculum - using the concept of the 8 Multiple Intelligence.

The reasons y we wanna change are firstly, the place are air-conditioned. As Amadeus had sensitive airways, he is not suited to be in aircon place for too long. Secondly, the quality of the teachers is a main concern too.

We had already registered and paid the deposit for the new CC and Amadeus will be starting school on 15 Dec.

But today, when I brought Amadeus to sch, his principal, who is also his form teacher, spoke to me. She was sad to see Amadeus go as she can see the transformation in him. She even said tat the assistant teacher who has been taking care of Amadeus since Day 1 felt tat it was a pity to see him leave. Somemore, Amadeus gets along very well wif all his teachers, friends and even the cleaning aunties. Everybody knows his name including those children in other classes. Even some parents know Amadeus too as he will greet everybody tat comes into the centre every morning. The principal says that she will always welcome Amadeus back even if there is no vacancy. She will try to squeeze him in...haha...

After talking to her, I had been thinking whether did I make the correct decision in removing him from a familar environment and putting him into a strange place and has to make him adapt all over again...What should I do???

But everything is already in place - paid reg fees, deposit and the sch uniforms. So we can't possibly back out now. Just have to hope tat Amadeus will also be equally happy in his new school. Worse come to worse, we just put him back to his current CC if he really has problem adapting the new environment.
