Little Red Hen

My first concert attendance with Peanut. It was a public performance staged at Alliance Francaise and his playschool block-booked some tickets. It was very encouraging to see every kiddo from his class with at least a parent (a grandparent for one kid) accompanying and this is notwithstanding that it was a Thursday.

Here's our valiant attempt at a group photo whilst waiting to enter the theatre hall. The other groups from other schools were, I assure you, a lot more organised but they were also older (> 3 y.o):



Meet-the-cast after the show:

But the real highlight/adventure for Peanut turned out to be the bus trip. During the 1-hour show, it was just muffled cries of "go home" and mummy trying hard to make the show more interesting than it really was. Yawn.

And the answer to the trivial question: Comb their hair ...

Trivia

This was a trivial quiz question on Class 95 during a weekday morning: "58% of men don't do this .."


And my guesses go like this:


1. Flush after using the toilet


2. Place their soiled clothings in the laundry basket


3. Make their beds in the mornings


4. Bring their dishes to the sink after a meal (And I'm not talking about washing the dishes - that will be my guess if it were 70% and more)


5. Give up a seat to an old lady/ a pregnant woman / a young toddler

6. Remember their wedding anniversary / parents' birthdays / kids' birthdays

Feel free to add on to this "peeve-list", but as it turned out I was guilty of it - the answer was ....

The Return of the Mug Shots

So, the professional photographer a.k.a. husband had to be called to do the job. And to comb the hair too ...
Guess which one we chose for the passport application - the "curry puff" hairdo or the get-out-of-bed look?

He looks so precocious in both ... more like a 4 y.o. and that is his official grin each time we ask him to smile for the camera - can't help but notice how the Peanut is so like his dad in his gestures and temperament. Well, that's another story for another day ...

Singapore Airshow

The maiden Singapore Airshow - declared a success and indeed a success. The stunts were awesome... only wish Peanut was there to see. Apologies for the poor quality video - it's taken with the mobile phone ... didn't have presence of mind to bring the videocam since I went on a trade day ... next time I'll remember... better still, next time I'll brave the crowd on a public day and bring Peanut with me.

Cinder who?

It was Sunday and I wore a new red blouse (new because I didn't get to wear it to celebrate CNY) to tim sum.

Peanut remarked, "Mama like Cinderler".
I: Huh? I'm sorry, mama can't hear you.
P: Like Cinderler
I gave him the puzzled look and he went out of the room. A little while later, he returned holding the DVD cover of Cinderella and showed me.
I: Right. Mama is like Cinderella. (Said with a beaming smile - you have no idea how pleased I was ...)
Then Peanut tugged at the sash like ribbon on my blouse, "Ribbon like Cinderler." Isn't he sweet?
