Potty

Png Png is paranoid sitting on potty or toilet bowl. I borrowed books with story on potty to read to Png Png. Finally got him to sit on potty. With his pants on though

Lap booking class Term 4 lesson 1

We skipped term 3 lesson as Shirley brought forward the lesson by 15 minutes I am not sure if Png Png can adjust to the new timing. Also, we went to Melbourne for holiday. I don't wanna miss a lesson

There was a daddy in the class as his son was unable to attend the class. Wa seh. So on. There were 6 tots in this class. So including the absentee there are 7 tots in the class. Used to be 5 tots only hmmm......

The literature we based on is One Ted falls out of bed

Png Png likes this book very much

Today we did

1. Sang Good Afternoon song

2. Shirley read the book "One Ted falls out of bed" with animation. She is very good in animation. She asked who has Teddy bear at home? What is the color? Is it big or small?

3. Shirley asked what else besides Teddy bear and ballon in the story. There are 9 frogs playing tunes, 7 trolls fighting, 6 dolls sipping tea, etc. She said this is a busy book. Other than the first 2 pages, there are many activities going on in all pages. She said point details to tot and ask question like - Who play instruments? What animal said "play with me" to Ted? How many mice? How do you know those (point to picture of trolls) are trolls? Because they have colorful hair. Where are the frogs? Are they on the bed? Png Png said yes. Shirley said no they are in the box on a cushion. She said tots will point to the picture and answer there when you ask where is what and what. Train them to name the specific location

4. Each tot was given a bag of chips and 4 pictures to do matching activities

Activity 1 Ted is hungry. He wants to eat 8 cookies. Put 8 chips in the box

Activity 2 Troll gives each doll a pillow. There are 6 dolls. Put 6 chips in the box

Activity 3 Ted gives each frog 1 cookie. There are 9 frogs. Put 9 chips in the box

Activity 4 Doll invited 7 friends to have tea. She needs 7 sauces to go with tea cup. Put 7 chips in the box

Shirley asked parents to line the chips in one line and ask tot to point and count. She said normally tot will skip the chip when counting. After that, point to the words and read to tot on what is required of the activity. Get tot to point to the no eg where is no 8 on the instruction. Then get tot to put the required no of chips in the box

5. Sang rhyme Brown Bear

Hug your bear

6. Sang Good Bye song

Happy birthday my dear hubby

On hubby's birthday, I baked cupcake

Cup cake after decorated with fruits.   For the sake of Png Png who is allergic to dairy, there is no cream icing on the cupcakes

Chen Chen added on 2 birthday notes to daddy

Melbourne holiday - 25 Sep

Checking out from Cowes Holiday Unit. Png Png at the front door.

The unit is very residential style, not hotel style. Suits my requirement. I love the space and the facilities. Free usage of washing machine with washing powder provided. Forgot to take picture of our laundry hang on clothes line which we never experience back at home. Most important the price is very cheap A$75 per day. Highly recommended

Pose with the car we rented from Avis

Hubby with the unit owner Brian. He is a very friendly host.

Last destination of our holiday at Koala Conservation Center before we leave Philip Island

Png Png with the big koala at the Visitor's Center

Naughty face

Walked along boardwalk to spot Koala

Real Koala

We saw miserable few koalas. All of them were sleeping

This Koala made our entrance ticket worth the price

It was the only Koala that was awake, moving from tree to tree and eating eucalyptus leaves

Png Png learned the words "chew" and "eucalyptus leaves" as I described to him what the koala did

Checked in to Easy Stay. The bed

The dining area

The kitchen

The last place we visited for this trip - Eureka skydeck 88

Chen Chen put a coin in the machine to press it into a souvenir plate

There are many telescope focusing on certain buildings in Melbourne

This shot is definitely out for people with height phobia

It was drizzling which was a blessing in disguise. We saw beautiful rainbow. The rainbow we saw was clear and thick

The rainbow didn't turn out well with our simple camera

After a while, another rainbow appeared. This one was even thicker and clearer. This is the first time Png Png saw the real rainbow

Sunset

Beautiful night scene So long Melbourne

Melbourne holiday - 24 Sep

Png Png : Kor kor Still sleeping
Lazing on the bed
Chen Chen : ok ok get up now
First destination Churchill Island.


Png Png lied comfortably on the sofa at the entrance
My boys opened the flat on the ship to discover treasure in the hole


The heritage farm house
Cellar
Came out of the cellar
Chen Chen fed lamb with dried straw.
Next stop watch pelican feeding near the pier in San Remo at 12 o’clock
This pelican was not scared of human being. It went near us, opened his bill and made the sound "urgh" at us. Png Png was not scared of this pelican. He went very near it. Hubby quickly pulled Png Png back
The pelicans were fed half full so that they will not loose their nature of seeking food in the wild
The boys' favorite place A Maze 'N Things
Giant Purple Tap floats in mid air gushing out thousands of litres of water into a Flooded House.
The illusion room is tilted so that one won't fall down no matter how much you bend towards the front
The sea was actually wall paper. It look as if Chen Chen was on a ship
The visitor with the camera is a dummy
Pier Pressure at Puzzle Island. One player look at the route on the monitor outside the puzzle and guide the other player to step on the correct block to walk out of the puzzle




19 hole maxi mini-golf course. Both boys enjoyed this the most especially Chen Chen
All Chen Chen care was to hit the ball into the hole regardless of the pose
It was hilarious to see him in action








Naughty face pose




The boys played till closing time. They brought back 2 golf balls each - 2 pink and 2 purple golf balls
