Don't I look good in papa's cap? Mama bought me a new cap for 18-24 months but it is way too small for my "big" head. They dun sell for > 24 months old cap, hence I think I fit an adult cap better!

Christmas party in the CC
Today, brought ZQ specially for a Christmas party celebration in school. So in the morning, we had to catch a cab. Being the first day of the ridiculous fare hike for taxi, a 35% of journey's fare during peak period, I decided not to take Comfort Delgro's taxi today. Saw a smart taxi and hopped on to it, but this is only temporary, by next week, all the cabs will be following suit.
ZQ kinda remembers that when we reach the CC, mommy will leave for work, hence, he started to cling tightly to me and wanted me to carry him. Thoughout the celebration and presentation by the other older kids at the CC, he refused to come down. Later, we gave him some milk and played a little with him in his classroom.
It was later at the eating session that he was enjoying himself more.
Afternoon, we brough him to the Singapore Science Centre and he had a wild time going around looking at the interesting exhibits. He was also running around alot ... well, afterall, he had his nap on our way to the science centre.
Noticed that he keeps crying for mama recently , especially before he sleeps and also when I pick him up from the CC after my work. I hope this is only a phase, quite SIM TIA to see him crying more. He seldom cry at home though.

Vivo once again
Had a great time splashing @ Vivo in the afternoon while mommy went shopping. Mommy decided to create this nice poster with the pics at Sentosa Costa sands resort - a very lousy place.

Third day at the CC
I went to check on ZQ during lunchtime but the principal told me not to go in to distract him as they are getting the kids ready for nap time. So I left.
Only went back to pick him up after work. When I reached there, ZQ saw me and immediately teared. I hugged him and then he pulled me into the room 2 watch Barney. Shortly we waved goodbyes to the other kids and then made our way home.
ZQ has a good appetite during dinner - I guess he did not eat much at the CC. They only fed him 2 milk feed. Not sure if he had his nap and finished his meals at the CC cos when I reached, the teacher already left for the day. I was also rushing off, so I did not check on anything else.
He seemed rather sleepy so by 9pm, we made him sleep. A while ago (3 ish) he woke up crying for milk and mama. Gave him 240ml, he finished it quickly and shortly cried for more milk. Gave him another 120ml and then he falls back to sleep.
Is he hungry or just adjusting to new routines, environment that he is crying at nite. Feels a little bad that he is having some reactions to it but then again, it is inevitable. Just a phase they have to go through. Hope he adjust quickly to the CC.
So far, I think he is doing well except for the times when I have to leave. I was asked to say goodbye to him and tell him I will come back later ... this made him more aware that I am leaving, hence the reaction - crying, being upset. I tot I may just disappear but it seems it is not recommended.
It seems that he will revert to his playing quite quickly - once he is being distracted from thinking about me leaving him there. Other than this part, he is pretty fine there.
Still thinking if I am bringing him in tomorrow. Perhaps give him a break and let him have some space being at home? Afterall I am busy tomorrow as well. Let's see.

Finally get to play at the playground
ZQ : "I finally get to play at the playground on my way home! I love to attempt to climb up via this method. Mama always say that it is dangerous but papa leave me to climb. Mama will place her hands in front and behind me as she is afraid I will fall. She also told papa to do the same but papa is not so uptight.
Recently I also learnt to count in English and Mandarin to 20 but I only know up till ten sufficiently well. In English, I will skip "seven" cos I cannot pronounce 2 syllabus yet. Whenever I climb steps I will count in English. For Mandarin, mama will play a game with me ..... she will go "Yi", I will go "Er", then she goes "San", ...... we'll do it till "Shi" ..... after that, I will always say "Shi Si" (fourteen) .... cos both words sounds alike, it's easy. Every number after "Shi" is "Shi Si" ... so easy right? Mama always laugh when I say it, it's so cute.
See me in action ok? (Hmm, seems like the uploading of the video has some problems ... I'll check and repost)

Having fun at the CC
ZQ : "See how much fun I am having at the CC. My favourite toy .... never fail to play with it. Since most of my friends don't really fancy this toy, I can play with it all the time.
It's lots of fun here cos there are so many GeGe and Jie Jie and friends in my class. Though I don't quite like the food they provide and I cannot sleep much cos it's few hours ahead of my normal nap time, but overall I like the place.
When mama leaves me here, I feel sad and cry , scream for her but after a while, teacher will give me a toy phone to ring her. I am sure she knows that I am doing fine.
The friends here are a little weird ... they cry all the time. On my first day, I saw this girl who cried alot and I went over to sayang her. She still cry most of the time but stops sometimes, for about 10-20 seconds when the teachers give her attention. She is quite good with her sentence but I seem to hear only one - "I want to go papa, mama, gor gor there" .... hmm, while I am still struggling to speak in 2 syllabus, she is very good. *My idol - for the speech part only.
I get really hungry when I get home and sleepy too. Sometimes I will sleep on the way home. Since it had been raining, I did not get a chance to go to the outdoor playground, I really miss it. Hopefully on the way home, at the playground downstairs from YeiYei's house, mama can le me play a little while. In the middle of the nite, I had also been waking up to ask for milk. I am hungry .... i just drank 240ml + 120ml .... now I am back to my beauty sleep.
Update real soon! "

Initial days at the CC
Monday was the first day ZQ started his CC. So far he survived 2 days rather well but I was there most of the time on day 1, together with the maid too. ZQ was ok.
Day 1
******
Woke up early to go 2 CC. When ZQ reached the CC, he cannot wait 2 dash into the class.
Managed 2 get him screened by the teachers and he walked into the class like he is an old timer. There were some wailing kids who eventually stopped except one girl who is the oldest amongst the few toddlers. When ZQ saw them crying, he went over to them and sayang them. He is a peace loving kid and dislikes fights, loud noises.
He took abit of cereal for breakfast. For lunch, he ate part of the pasta. Nap - he could not sleep and I had to go off and leave my maid to make him sleep ... he took a while and managed some sleep. I came back after 2 hours and he was up and playing again. Looking happy, I was not too worried.
After he woke up, he wanted milk and as I was not around, maid also "skived" outside talking on her mobile .... he went to the trolley bag, took out the milk container, open it and then tried to scoop out the milk powder! The teacher only saw it then and prepared milk for him. It was because he din eat much for his lunch.
Everything went well and he had his dinner when we went home. At nite, we tried to get him to sleep earlier but it's a change in his daily routine so it took a while.
Day 2
*****
Hubby and I brought ZQ to CC today. Morning was ok, he did not eat his breakfast on the cab and when we reached, breakfast time was over. Later, he asked for milk and I had to give it to him cos he is hungry. The teacher said they try not to feed them anytime ... ya, but he did not eat his breakfast ... so she agreed.
Lunch, they gave rice with fish soup in mixed vegetables(pea, corn, carrots) which are things he does not like. So he only had 3 spoonful of rice and stopped eating. By lunch, we left him there cos we were distracting and the teacher advised us to come back later.
ZQ cried when we left but the teacher distracted him using a fake phone to call us. Teacher oso said that he din take his nap, followed the teacher and during her lunch, he wanted her food. She fed him some rice and soup and also the honeydew (which he rejected earlier) but this time she pretended that it is vv delicious, he ate it all up.
We returned around 4 ish and he was happily playing with the kids. Joined him until we left around 5ish. Once, I left to the washroom and he cried.
When we were on the way back, he KO. As I had to go buy something, I had to carry him. When hubby wanted to take over, he seems to know and refused, making alot of noise for the changeover. He is heavy - 14+ kg ... but well, he's my son, he "ain't" heavy ... haha.
Day 3
*****
Brought him in this morning alone. He had a pow for breakfast. Then when they had assembly, he refused to go, wanted to stay in the classroom to play. So I finally managed to bring him out. Shortly, the teacher came over and told me to say good bye and go off. I waved goodbye and left, ZQ was there wailing for me. Took my bag, din turn back and left .... now I am in the office typing this. On leave today but well, since, I cannot be there, then I might as well do some blog updates ;)
Be going back to check on him later.
I hope he will eat his lunch and also take his nap. Hope he can cope well cos now reality of mama not being there might start sinking in ..... hope he does not get too upset. He is a happy boy and I dun foresee him having much problem adapting. Let's pray I am right.

Playing with keys
It's time 2 keep the house key somewhere not within reach to ZQ. Not only does he know how to select the correct key and put it into the keyhole, he now knows how to turn it. He even locked us in the house .. until now. Due to the faulty door, he put the key into the maindoor from inside of the house, now I cannot open the door. I can only wait till hubby comes back and open from outside.
Look at how pro he is now .....
