It's Xiaobao's first year in preschool and we had initially enrolled her in the Purple Train at Woodlands Civic centre. It's really tough having to travel to and fro woodlands plus the fact that meimei couldn't overcome her separation anxiety. And it was totally unexpected when the school informed in less than 2 months that they were going to close down. Guess every cloud has a silver lining as it was then that I realised that the Caterpillar clubhouse over at Eight Courtyard condo is a kindergarten. Meimei has since settled down in the school and we're all thankful that she's happy there.
As for Dabao, it's been a super busy year for her. At first, it was four long days in school and now with the recent e2k science program, that makes it long days for whole week! But dear and I are quite heartened to see that dabao seems more confident this year and is better at socializing with her friends. There were down moments for dabao this year, like scoring a merit for her piano exam and also failing her SA1 english composition where she cried buckets, but there were also uplifting moments like getting a gold award at the Ars Nova Festimal competition and being selected for the e2k science program. Well, guess that's how life should be, embracing the up and down moments so that she can grow to be confident and resilient person.
Dear and I have recently decided to put on hold our plan to rent a bigger unit. Instead, we did some decluttering by moving all the books to two huge bookcase that dear assembled, creating a home library instead. Will be dismantling dabao's double deck bed soon, hope the house will look and feel even more comfortable before we make further plans to our house next year!
To an even better 2nd half of 2019!!!!!
