Sprouting winter melon

Today I cut a piece of winter melon to cook soup.   This is what I saw in the winter melon.   I am very surprised that the seeds sprouted inside the melon.

Happy Birthday my lovely babe

Happy birthday my sweetie babe.   He is 5 year old today.   We celebrated his birthday in childcare centre in the afternoon after the kids' nap time.

He was very surprised when he saw us and the cupcakes that I baked for his birthday.

Chen Chen asked Png Png to not to put his fingers in his mouth.

The teacher took a family photo for us.

Both boys helped to distribute cupcakes and biscuits to the children. 

Png Png eating the cupcakes with his classmates.

We celebrated Png Png's birthday at the boys' favourite Sakura International Buffet Restaurant at Yio Chu Kang Stadium.  

The 2 naughty boys were stacking jelly.

My sister in law brought Png Png out of the restaurant for a walk after he filled his tummy so that I can have a peaceful meal.

Back at home, my sister in law made an aga aga cake for Png Png. 

Png Png  enjoyed his aga aga cake.

 

Png Png's birthday presents

These are the birthday presents that I received.

Take a closer look.

The puzzles that aunty gave.   The adults were amazed by my patience to complete the puzzles.   After I made the first puzzle, the remaining ones are easy peasy.

Fishing toy from daddy and teddy bear from my kor kor.   He bought it from his school canteen.

This toothbrush lights up when I press a button in the middle of the toothbrush!

Home learning - A chair for my mother

"A chair for my mother" by Vera B Williams talks about how the whole family saved up to buy a chair for mother.    This book was awarded Caldecott medal.  I love the boarders on every page of the story.

Our lapbook cover.   I like the origami chair.   It is easy to fold.  

Value of money - Png Png had a hard time with this activity
