A good friend was writing about how someone expressed horror at her not putting her soon-to-be four year old in school this year. Isaac, who turns four very soon, is not in nursery or any enrichment classes either. I'm keeping him home out of convenience and the belief that I can teach him myself ( Read more... )

That sounds like a great environment for your sweetie! She's very smart too. I'm sure she is thriving there.

Has it been 4 yrs already? *gasp* time flies. I still remember Issac as a slinging baby. :)

Yes! Too fast. I stopped slinging him early this year. He was getting too big (and heavy) even for my trusty Maya Wrap. I could still sling him if I wanted to but he's happy to walk. ;)

Hello, I reached your blog through Riv's
:)

Anyway, I do want to affirm that flashcards are a fun way to learn .. To my parents' surprise, I could recognize Chinese characters when I was two :) Hooray for homeschooling!

Mag... how's Z? And I recall I being a teeny weeny baby in ur sling.. gosh time flies.

Yep... agree.. so important to have PLAY bring the major component in a kid's life. I got really freaked out when one day my niece told me my 5 yr old nephew has not played with the new toy train I gave him "because he got no time to play"!!!

He's good! Already in Primary 2, would you believe it? :):) He's enjoying school and play. He barely does any work at home, unless it's exam time, lol.

I was looking at some of Isaac's newborn photos and I saw the one of him and the basket of C&E goodies that you gave me, on behalf of the other thoughtful ladies. THANK YOU once more. That was a very kind thing you did and I'm still touched. :)

i'm sure you're doing a great job with I. the 2 boys are so lucky to have a mummy like you.

if i can confirm my japan flight, i'll let you know so you can e-mail me your shopping list. :)

Thanks! :):) Isaac has his trying moments too. Sometimes I'm so AARRGH! :D

I have a JP CP on the way...hmm, but ah, I'm sure I will think of more things I want. Hee! Thanks for being so helpful.
