Baby Girl Loves to Play

Baby Girl loves to play at various parks, with toys, and with friends! Everytime we pass a park and she spots the playground she screams "PLAYYYYYYYYYY!!!" She can climb like a monkey and climbs to the top of a slide and then slides down by herself! Last week she even climbed on top of the dining room table and she was so proud of herself!!!

Baby Girl is beginning to enjoy listening to stories now and likes to look at books! If she spots me sitting down, she will grab a book and come over to me and say, "Book Mommy, book Mommy". I love it!!

Baby Girl: Dress Up Queen

Baby Girl LOVES to dress up and put on crowns, fancy outfits, and high heel shoes~ of course!! (I don't know HOW she can walk in the high heel shoes!!!??? She loves to put on family members' shoes and parade around the house!

PE: The Rock Climber

Last week I went with PE's class on a fieldtrip to a rock climbing wall! What a fun and exciting adventure this was! The first time PE attempted rock climbing, she climbed up about ten feet. Once everyone in the class had a turn, the instructors asked if anyone wanted a second turn~~and guess who wanted a second turn??!! PE began climbing and did not stop!! She went all the way to the top as I watched in awe and could hardly believe my eyes! (Then of course my eyes filled up with tears because I was so proud of her!!) Only four children in the class made it to the top~~so this was a real accomplishment for her! PE loved this adventure and wants to do it again!

PE: School in Singapore

PE's teachers are He Laoshi (Mandarin teacher)and Miss Lisa (English teacher). Baby Girl loves to go to school to drop PE off and then later to pick her up! She likes to carry PE's bookbag around the house and pretend that she is going to school too!

PE: School in Singapore

PE started pre-school on August 3, 2009 at Schoolhouse by the Bay. The school is a big yellow and white building nestled in with tall lush palm trees. PE rides her bike to school every day while I walk with her. She is in school from 8-12. One day she has the Mandarin teacher (who does not speak any English) and the next day she has the English teacher (from Australia!). What an adventure!! Every morning she gets up excited about putting on her school uniform and riding her bike to school! It takes us about 15 minutes to get to school from our house via bike or walking.

Summer in the Good Ole USA!!

Aunt Jen and Cousin visited us for six great weeks of fun and adventure in Singapore! We flew HOME to the USA together. We had a wonderful summer back in North Carolina visiting friends and family!!!! It was really a breath of fresh air. Words can not even explain how wonderful it was to be back in AMERICA. We visited family from the mountains to the coast and treasured every minute of it! PE learned to boogie board in the ocean and also learned how to swim!! Baby Girl tried to do every thing that her big sissy did! What a fun summer! We really do miss NC!!
