Farley's biscuits with milk

We used to let Edward drink milk every morning before taking his morning nap since he's a baby. However, we felt that it's no longer sufficient for my baby anymore as he keeps on growing from day to day. He needs more semi-solid food to make his stomach full.

I know very well about the baby biscuits as me myself love to eat too during my teenage days. It must be very weird for a teenage girl to eat baby biscuits, but I just love the taste, that's all. So far as to my concern, Farley is the best among all those brands. Therefore, I ask my hubby to get one small packets of Farley's biscuits for our little lil prince. I hope that he likes it just as mummy.

Since then, my mother will make him the biscuits dip in hot milk. He shows the sign that he loves it so much. Sometimes, my mum just skips the biscuits time when he drink his milk around nine something in the morning. This make my little cheeky reluctant to drink his milk & demand for biscuits when my mother feeds him with milk in the milk bottle. How smart my baby who knows very well to differentiates which one taste nicer! Anyways, this biscuits is good for growing up baby & it's another kind of food for my son to taste rather than cereal itself.

1st Lesson

I was late for my 1st lesson yesterday as i was too rush from my house to the class after work.I took my dinner before went to the class as i don't want end up taking my dinner after 8pm.I know it's so unhealthy to take dinner after 8pm,however my hubby seems to be used to it as he was too busy for his work until very late.That's why he has a bulky tummy even he din drink alcohol.

The 1st lesson was not too bad but their discussion topic was "Sport".I never involved in any sport activities since young until recently took up Yoga.I was the one who picked by the teacher to tell the whole class whats my favourite sport.Oh no, terrible!I simply bluff that i love yoga & explain a little knowledge of what i learn recently,bla bla bla.............Luckily everything was fine.The 1.5hrs lesson seems to be too short for me as i love the environment so much.I enjoy the feeling of back to school again.Great!

After the class i faster drove home, because i miss my son dearly!

English Level

The test was OK & it took me around 30min to finish it.After that, there's a teacher who'll spoke to me in English & asked me a few questions.That's the tough part i thought.She explain to me that all together are 7 levels & i was in level 4, which means i have to study from level 4-7.Each level around 2 months.I think its good to improve my English as i hope to teach my son correctly.My hubby support me by giving me a thumbs up.

Thank you Darling!How good if u support me with the course fees?

Examination

Later I'll attend an exam at British Council as request by the British Council before enter to their courses.They need to put me into an appropriate level according to my result as my standard be.

I think this must be the 1st time that i attend exam after many years from my college days.I'm not sure what kind of exam they conduct but i hope that's only writing as i was too shy for the spoken test.In the other hand, what will be my result?Oh no, if my current level is only at Beginner!Hopefully not that bad!

Stay tune with me if wanna know the result.

Edward,mummy sure be a role model for you!

English Courses

Since the arrival of my Little Edward,i try my very best to speak English with him and read to him in English as well.However, due to my Chinese education background,i feel so hard to converse fluently with him.My auntie will have to correct me if i speak wrongly.During my schooldays, i feel shy to speak in English especially in front of my family members as they are all English educated.I envy of them very much.I wish my son won't follow my footsteps,but what can i do?

I know i can send my son to Montessori & let the teacher guide him,but i believe that guidance upon early stage would help him better.My auntie encourage me to speak English with him from time to time as my mother who taking care of him speaks mandarin & hokkien with him.Therefore,i must teach him English and let him explore to those English reading materials.His father was too busy to teach him as his work require him to work from morning till very late at night.He'll only spend the weekends with us as family day.I'm sure my son will treasure this little time that daddy is able to spend with him when he grows bigger to understand that his daddy really works hard for our living.

How am i going to teach my son if i myself can't speak a proper English?After a few months of consideration, i finally make up my mind to let myself back to school again!Off course not going back to high school.Wow,sound interesting is it?I'm suppose to finish my ACCA final level in this year but i opt to take up English courses at British Council.I wish to improve myself and guide my son in proper ways before sending him to Montessori.I hope my son will speak English just like his mother tongue.Off course he is not mat salleh,but he can speak up with confidence no matter where he was.Me & my hubby just hoping that he can speak multi language correctly in every way.

Edward, did you know mummy scarifies a lot because of you.Definitely learning English is not only for my son's benefit but it helps to improve myself as well.I hope i can speak a better English and brave enough to express myself in English.i think my hubby will proud of me!

Books For My Son

Me & my hubby went to Queens Bay Mall for our dinner on last Sunday.We didn't bring Edward along cos mummy & daddy want to enjoy the moment of our courting time .That's what we have miss it since little Edward arrived in this family.

After the dinner, i suggest to my hubby to visit the Border.I wanna get some suitable reading materials for my little Edward.Once i have search through internet, there stated that cloth book are much more suitable for babies as they are soft and light to carry.My hubby always agree to buy books rather than toys except educational toys such as block puzzle, Lego & etc.However, my son was too small for playing those educational toys.i have bought many books of nursery rhymes and fairy tales for my son.I'll read it to him every night before he went to bed.I find that he loves it so much.He'll never falls asleep if i din read to him,no matter how i rock the cradle .

We have bought a few cloth books for my son.They are colourful and the picture are very attractive.One of the book comes with a puppet as well.All of those books are so expensive.It cost us a few hundreds to get those of them.However,i never feel enough as there are so much choices.

Edward find it so interesting,he hold it & keep on looking on the book.He still dunno how to flip it as he's only 5 moths+.When i play the puppet with him, he want to catch it.He looks so cute when he rolls his eyes while looking on the books.Although all those books are expensive but i feel worth of it as he'll learn to hold & loves the books at this early stage.Edward,mummy wish that you'll enjoy the cloth books!

Is English that important?

My SIL came to visit my auntie on last Saturday.As my son is currently staying at my auntie house, so my son get the chance to play with her.I think my son likes her bcos he love to smile with her.My SIL find that i bought so much books for my son as he only 5 mths+.My auntie told her that i'm soon to build my son a small library when we move to our new house next year as my house still under construction.

She told me its good to build my son's reading interest when he's small.Her son who study in US university is very excel in his studies & sport.He's the state player for squash during his school days.I wish my son will be as smart him.My SIL told me that when his son is small, she used to buy him a lot of books as well.She will get my cousin brother to teach his son English every night cos my cousin brother was very good in English and he's the top boy in his schooling days.She hope his son will speak fluent English.Now, his son is the top student in the University.She's so proud of her husband & her son.

I'm not so good in English while my hubby was always busy in his work, therefore i'm scared that we might not teach my son in proper English.I think i have to send my son to British Council to learn proper English.I feel English is very important at any time.English is the only language that we able to converse when we travel to foreign country.In addition,most University use English as their teaching language.

I think i have to take up English courses to excel my English.There only i'm able to teach my son in proper English.I hope my son will not tease mummy over speaking broken English.(hahahaha)

EDUCATION

This morning my colleague, Ms Lok ask me will i send my son to the prestige & expensive Montessori.I told her that i might love to but not sure I'm afford or not.Every parents love their children so much which may try to provide the best to them but there are limitation due to their abilities.Of course, i feel that education play a major role in every children's life and Montessori is their foundation to lead them to further path.

I read story books to my son when he' s inside my tummy.I never miss out the reading time with my son as i believe this'll build his interest of reading in future.My hubby & i planning to buy a set of Scholastic books for my son which cost us around 5k.My auntie will help me to read to my son when I'm not around.Hopefully he'll love it cos mummy & daddy have to tide their stomach.

Nowadays, Montessori know how to make money very well.I was regret why i din take up education line instead of accountancy.It's not too late if i try to learn through on-line courses.I love to read to my son very much.

For my opinion, expensive doesn't mean to be the best.I'll do some survey when it's time for my son to join Montessori.Now it's still early yet.What i have to do is to teach my son on my own first.I believe families guidance is their foundation at this early stage as most children envy their parents and follow their way.So, Parents, better play a good role in front of your children!
