Parent & Teacher Meeting Day

After getting Renee's lunch ready, I rushed off to the school for the meeting whilst she's eating it(daddy stayed home til I come back) and by the time I came back, Renee told me that she didn't finish her lunch(expected, since daddy wldn't be really 'watching' over her and she's watching the tv, haiz).

I guess my session with the teachers is one of the shortest, and I wondered why I even bothered to rush over lolz. Mrs Anna Tan, the English language teacher told me that Renee's performing well in these areas :

• Language
• Physical
• Social

Whereas the Chinese language teacher, Zhou laoshi added that she's very imaginative and could often think of 'stories' to play-out by herself.

Food-wise, Mrs Tan said that Renee doesn't like spaghetti - yes, she still doesn't like cooked food that are 'sweet' and tomato sauce somehow belongs to the 'sweet' side. However, this to me is already a big improvement for her as she really didn't even bother to try any of the food the school served her when she first started school early this year.

Both teachers confirmed that phonics and writing skills will only be taught from the Nursery level(they must have thought that I'm another KS mom 'cos I didn't tell them the reason I ask was becos Renee's been writing some at home).

Forgotten note - to check/double confirm on the temperature of the air-conditioner they would normally have during lesson.

Anyway, got home, changed Renee and we both went to the mall for a little 'walk' :) and went to 'exchange' the scissors we've got(forgot about the ones I've ordered for her from USA). Last Friday, when we were at the store, I got her to ask the sales ladies on whatever we were looking for. First, the sticker album :

Mommy : "Renee, go ask the aunty where can we find the sticker book"

Renee : "huh?... ok", "excuse me aunty, where can I find sticker book?"

Sales Lady1 : "what? sticker album you mean, ok, here..."(directing us to the correct section)

Renee : "thank you..."

Then, she wanted me to buy a pair of scissors for her and I told her to find out where are the children's:

Renee : "excuse me aunty, where can I find children scissors?"

Sales Lady2(was initially surprised, but later grinned at her): "oh, over here..."

Renee : "thank you"

Felt my throat beginning to sore when we got home and I started coughing with its irritation last night, arrrghhh! Too much cookies!

Finally, the shoes/hat/socks that I've ordered via 2 sprees are ready for collection tomorrow, hurray! As the place's not very far, I decided to 'venture' out to collect them instead of waiting til the weekend to meet the organiser at punggol plaza. From my friend, Karen's lot, I guess the sizes of the shoes I've ordered might again be too big for Renee but I'm nevertheless, still very excited to see them, hee.
