So yes - the school year has officially ended - Tobias has officially completed his 1st year @ Kindi... On to the next :)

They ended the school year by having an over night stay @ the Kindi. So all the kids arrived with sleeping bags, mats, pillows, soft toys & breakfast food @ 7.15pm on Thursday (8th July 2010) night & slept there with 2 of their ( Read more... )

You know sometimes i wonder why they go to Kindi here - it's so different from Kindi in Singapore where i went to school - here it's all about learning social skills & learning to work together & getting along - over in Singapore it's more about knowing your ABCs & 123s...
i think it's better here - ABCs & 123s can be learnt later & studies have ( Read more... )

7th July 2010 to 11th July 2010 was Forest Week @ Kindi for Tobias. This means that they went to the forest every day that week - no classes - just walking to the forest, listening to some stories, singing some songs & off you go - climbing & exploring! Tobias only went for 3 mornings cos he was in the "small" Kindi - which means the younger group.

...the update is that - sadly the strawberries have died - i have since found out that it was my fault - they weren't growing as fast the cherry tomatoes so i gave them some fertilizers & apparently that killed them. "You are not suppose to give baby plants fertilizers! You wouldn't give a 6 mth-old baby a steak, right?", that's what a friend who ( Read more... )

...that's right in 2.5 weeks Tobias officially finishes Kindergarten 1 - 1st year of Kindergarten - done & over with by 9th July 2010 :D
It is just now that i realised i have not written very much about his experience in Kindi & the great things he gets to do there. i have written about the pre-Kindi visit, the 1st day of Kindi but nothing very much ( Read more... )

Oh my, it has once again come round - it's Tobias' birthday once again - the years are literally just flying by... sigh!

A week ago - 20th May 2010 - Tobias turned 6 - he has waited sooooo long to turn 6 & finally the day came :D

So this year Tobias had 3 parties - a main one at Nilpfi (an indoor playpark) here in Solothurn with his Kindergarten ( Read more... )

To quote another blogger mummy (Our Everyday Things) - as a mummy, the days are long but the years are short...
So enjoy while the years last & let the days slide by :D

Here's what my little guy made at Kindergarten for me as a Mother's Day present:
A jar of sweet dandelion jam & card.

No no, not talking about Going Green as in environmental issues - but just to be clear, we do do our part - recycling as much as we can, using as little electricity as possible... etc...
But i'm talking about growing green... maybe that would have been a better title - anyhow, i have never been a green thumb at all - so far have killed everything i ( Read more... )

In celebration of the fact that Daddy has been around for 5 whole weeks straight (in the 1st 3 months of 2010, Daddy was only home maybe 30days) - here's a little video of Daddy & Tobias building with a construction toy (can't remember the name of the toy - it was borrowed from the toy library):


Here's the happy 2 with their completed work:
