Hot hOt HoT

Phew what a hot day this is....got to switch on the air con for the two pampered princesses so that they can nap. Yesterday, I finally booked the air tickets to Bangkok. Was thinking of going on the 10th April then hesitated and when I finally decided, the 10th April ticket is gone :( What to expect when the fare is only $98 for SIA. Even the Bangkok ticket took me more than 10 tries before I can confirm my booking. But it's good value for money, now have to wait for the booking of the hotel to be confirmed then I would be able to book for the sightseeing tours and airport pickup service. Wow, finally, really going for a trip! I think Alyssa will be thrilled, this time we will be going to the national park, then we get to ride on the elephant and ox cart! Even I am getting excited just thinking about the trip!

Today during lunch, Alexis pick up a little cube of tofu and put it infront of her nose as though she is sniffing it, then she said , " Hmmm, 好香" of course her pronounciation is not very good but alyssa and me both laughed.

Alyssa is getting very creative nowadays. She will cut up pieces of paper (once my credit card bill but I salvaged it before it was disintegrated) and then use glue to glue them together to pretend they are things like today she made an "Air Ticket". She loves art and craft, she will pester me to teach her handicraft work everyday. Thank god for the preschooler website,
www.crayola.com and www.dltk-teach.com, I am able to come up with craft work very quickly.
Just now when Alyssa pointed to the Alphabet "L" on the rubber Mat and read it out, I was very surprised as I havent got to that letter yet. I am still at the Alphabet "F", but apparently "Barney" the purple dinosaur taught her that letter. She was also able to read 2 or 3 other letters. I think sometimes its good to let the kids watch the educational vcds, not for too long though. I would restrict the time to max 1 hr, occasionally 2 hrs consecutively if I really havent finished the housework and I dun want the kids to run around without monitoring. Even Alexis is able to sing the "ABC" alphabet song.

Today the "Cozy Coupe" and rocking dino finally got delivered. Even though they are second hand but they are in quite good condition. I think the kids will be wild. I am thinking of getting a playhouse, a slide or swing too. OH no, I am making this house into some kind of tiny child care *ROFL* Since I am going to look after them most of the time, except half day on mon and sat, I thought it would be better if this place have more things to do. THat also means sometimes I get to be on my own a while. (sound rather selfish :P) Got to go and prepare dinner. BOth the kids will wake up at around 5 + and alexis will definitely want her food at around 5 30pm. Wait till they wake up and see the toys *grin*
