The Head
It is one difficult thing to master the Chinese language. Try to do that when a million of other things are in your head. Hence the word "head" for this little girl to write. I wonder why the teacher was so angry and my little girl came crying to me...
Now I reckon it is a bit hieroglyphic-y and graphic way to write "head". Off she goes to do another batch...
The Glasses
Remember that time when your mom took you to the optometrist because you're unable to see the writings on the blackboard anymore from where you're sitting?
It probably went like this:
It probably went like this:
| "Here's your new glasses" |
| "Surprised, everything look so clear! EEK!" |
| "Am not wearing these extra pair of eyes, period!" |
| "Hmm, it looks better if the can wears it" |
| "Mom gives up and say OK just have more carrots" |
| "Throwing it in the bin? Not OK!" |
Teaming Up
Since there are only the two of us ....
... it's only natural for these girls to be teams of two, too.
| "Two of us in 'Love Pavillion' on natural setting" (not that other interpretation of us being in cage while the birds fly free) |
Glow in the Dark
She's been obsessed with anything glow in the dark.
We acquired some stars to light up the way to the bathroom.
What do you know, it really glows when I stored the paints back in the cupboard. Hehehe.
We acquired some stars to light up the way to the bathroom.
Then for our next project, we'll build the solar system using cardboard, some strings and some quirky paints.

The Little Grown Up
Since we have started homeschooling, my little 6 years old had learnt myriads of things especially on the environment and science.
It made me chuckle to see her using one finger to answer the questions. Perhaps it is time to get her to learn how to type.

Ships & Boats
She was given this as a farewell gift by one of her school friend.
No tools is correct.
Easy to assemble...depends. If you found them lying on the floor, disarrayed and detached from the actual frame that held the pieces together, then it's hard!
Educational, yes.
Great decoration item....it kept the boy who visits us occupied for around 30 minutes. But her...only 5 minutes after I finally assembled them. These are the pictures after it's been played. I must say they are rather flimsy after so many hands handling. Especially the flag posts which don't hold very well.

Overall, aside from the frustration of identifying and assembling without proper instruction sheet, I think it's a great puzzle.
Perhaps if it was Cinderella's castle/ Sleeping Beauty's castle 3d puzzle, she'd be more keen.
We had fun saying "Aye, Cap'n" and "Ahoy sailors" though.

Letter for mom
It's things like these that makes you stop getting angry at her.
Even when it's in hieroglyphs, that only she would understand.
Fireboy and Watergirl
This is her version...
It's an addictive brain teaser game that we found through a great free math homeschooling site and we've been on it for a few months now.
Here is the link to the latest one:
Happy playing students!

Bracelet Mania
They say a child can only concentrate for around 15 minutes. I say that their preference will only last for 5 minutes.
Remember that necklace? Well it's now 2 bracelets.

Necklace Day
What an accomplishment for a 6 year old. First, an initiative to start arts and crafts day on her own. Second, a beautiful masterpiece. Of many more to come perhaps?
This is the kit. It's for 3 - 8 years old but the flowers cut out, which can be incorporated into the design, takes a little bit more skills to put the string into the little hole. I used a piece of stiffer string that acts as a hook to fish out the actual string for the necklace.

Woman
The beautiful woman ....
Went into the powder room and applied something ...
She came out like this...
It happens sometimes!

Graduation Day
What cutesies graduating at 6years old. They had "Guadeamus Igatur" as their procession song and a bunch of eager spectators consisting of happy parents and big/& little siblings that are still quietly breast feeding. I may be the only parent sitting down happily blogging away this phenomenon.
Life surely will flash away before these kidlets lives. Hopefully they learn how to be compassionate and caring towards the future of their earth. Bring on Homeschooling!
