the kids, lately

the little girl's quarterly exams for this school year finally ended last Friday. it was such a relief that we didn't have to review anymore. although i don't pressure her much (because at her age, she still shouldn't be stressed with school), it's still quite stressful for me because she always has a lot to say when it's review time like "Ma, I know that already. Can I just play and rest?"

she's not really into 'posing'

this week, it will just be rehearsals for their musical play. this will be shown during their culminating program on the 11th. our daughter being extremely shy, seldom tells us about their school activities that i often just learn about them from fellow moms. i knew about this play when i heard her humming and singing "I love Him, I love Him, I love Him and where He goes, I'll follow..." she was amazed that I knew the song! we then did a duet. i maybe biased but i think she sings well. i'm happy. :)

the little boy, on the other hand, still has regular classes. being still at pre-nursery level, they don't have tests yet. but they will have their own culminating activity on the 22nd. i still don't know what he will be doing this time but i'm pretty sure, it will make me cry. :) unlike his shy sister, this boy never runs out of things to say and is not shy performing before an audience. i'm glad he takes it after me. :)

his birthday is in April yet but he's envious of his classmates celebrating their birthdays in school so he asked me if he could also celebrate it there. i am thinking of doing it on the 21st (their last day and the day he's 3 years & exactly 11 months old). i was planning to serve (he only has 10 classmates) McDo happy meal (which comes with a toy; Spongebob is the featured character) so I won't have to prepare loot bags or tokens (although knowing me, I doubt it) but our little boy said he only wants to serve knick knacks (biscuits) milk flavor. cutie! :)

beggar :-)

early this year, the hubby and I decided that we will send both kids to the same school so we can save on gas and time (and my effort). :) the daughter's school was the preferred choice, it being just a 10-minute drive from where we live. last month, we let our son take the entrance test and interview and he passed, qualified to enroll next school year. however, 2-3 weeks ago, Z told us that he just wants to stay at his current school. i was able to convince the hub to allow him because after all, it's just 'perfect' for Z. 


last week, M told me (out of the blue) that she also wants to transfer to Z's school. i hope she doesn't change her mind because although i agreed with the hub to put both of them in M's school, i was actually secretly wishing they will both stay at Z's. i just love the creative way they teach the kids! AND of course, i love it that they have no Chinese class there. i don't want M and i to be stressed with Chinese. she will be taking the entrance test and interview at PAREF on the 14th and i'm praying she will answer. you just don't know how shy she could get!
