Nursery or Kindergarden for Elly

As more friends and relatives are sending their children to nursery or kindergarden at such a tender age, I am also tempted to seach for one for Elly and Emmy later on. Near my mom's place is a kindergarten called Mayter, in which i studied some 20 over years ago(but in a different location). Now, whenever Elly passed the kindergarten, she would said that it's her school and she wanna go to school.

For Elly, now is the best time to learn as much as she can, thus sending her to a nursery is good to let her socialise with other kids her age. On the other hand, now is also the time which she need sleep most and time to play and dance and just be herself, without timetable and rules.

So for time being had decided not to send Elly to kindie yet, and will spend more time with her learning together. Astro Playhouse Disney channel is a good learning place for babies and small kids. Sometimes i am just amazed by the words expressed by her, all learnt while watching Mickey, Pooh, Noddy and some other cartoons.

Some Funny Words

Elly is getting more talkative nowadays and whenever she learn some new words, sometimes there are just some funny incidents/words worth sharings.

Watermelon -- 'woling'

Honey-dew --- 'honey-du-rian'

Muffin --- 'muh-foam'

Emmy learning to call me 'Mommy', but despite trials, the words that come out from her mouth is 'Ba-peeee'. She can pronounce Daddy, Jie-jie(sister in Mandarin) correctly. And at the place we stay and her babysitter's place, there are a lot of Malay girls, and she can call 'Kakak'(sister in Malay) too.

Elly imitating 'Kakak' with a 'towel-tudung'.

Raya Day 2 -- Fever Day with Barney

Its Hari Raya Day 2. Planning for a family outing actually but both Emmy and Elly are having fever and cough so its family day at home sweet home.

Took out some 'handover' VCDs on kids programs and Elly selected Barneys. So now its family day at home watching Barney. The Barney , shall i say cute(ugly but adorable) creature is simply entertaining! And the values that Barney and friends share are good.

I think that with a character that the kids adore, its easier to instil good values on them when they see their 'idol' is practising the good values. The VCD sent a message on 'Sharings' and it really has been well done through songs and actions.
