Group Leader

Today, Renee had gotten herself up pretty easily but it takes the rest of the mornings to confirm if my 'talk' with her really worked, lolz.

I had also told her quite some time ago, that she'd have her own alarm clock when she's older and thinking that it's now about time for me to train her to get used to its use, I passed her mine and told her she'd have to wake up, get up, stop the alarm herself for her afternoon naps. For the 1st few days, she had lazily let the alarm beeped all the way til it stopped on its own on the but for the past 2 days, she's finally reacted positively to it, ;).

This morning, she's left her PT com book at home and I only realised it awhile after they've left for school. Not wanting Renee to be afraid, I quickly text hubby, asking him to explain to the host teacher that the book's left at home but he said he didn't retrieve the message due to driving(alamak, can't retrieve upon arrival meh?). I wanted him to do that 'cos Renee was at the point of tears yesterday when she couldn't remember the question, actually it's the word 'ancestors' that she wasn't sure if she's remembered correctly, and had asked me to send her to the school to re-confirm, poor girl...

Oh ya, Renee told me that she's now the 'leader', haha. I asked if she's made the class or the group leader and of cos, not fully understanding it, she just replied that there are 2 other friends whom were also made leaders. Then, when I teased her about being happy for being one, she pretended to change the 'situation' by saying "no, I'm very tired". I asked "why so" and she said it's because her table has more friends - that's when I realised she's a group leader(I think), lolz. And yes her table has about double the no. of students as compared to the other 2 tables, :)...

Her school bag was left in the car on Tuesday after we've gone to the Physician's and feeling unwell myself, I didn't really checked the com book when it was brought up later. It was only yesterday morning that I found this piece of paper where she's supposed to draw on and when I went to pick her up today, I saw some of her friends' work already up on the board! Aiyah, I was quite worried for her but she said it's ok, teacher said still can submit later(phew) and so I did it with her('cos it's another pc of work to encourage parent involvement in the children's work) this afternoon after Ms Mok's left - ya, home lesson today. This is the 1st time PX has encountered Renee's lesson and when it's done, she asked me "har, just like that? wah, very good hor. so u're the one whom hv to teach her so much lor?". Ya, what to do, I'm not musically trained, so I didn't know what I've gotten myself in at the time when I signed Renee up, lolz. If I had known that it takes an older kid to understand all the stuffs and that I've have to do all sooo much of home guiding work, I might have signed her up later man! Hope this little child of mine will appreciate it when she grows up, :).

This is the artwork we did together, I realised that although Renee can draw things she sees on her own, it is really very important for a child to have proper guidance/foundation in the arts 'cos that will help her to express her ideas alot alot easier and in a more correct way. Glad we've signed her up for the arts class... :
