Today is Teachers’ Day, no school for the kids. So we asked Haylee to come over to play. Haylee is our neighbour, and is also in the same class as Toria. She is Toria’s best friend, so says Toria.

Class Photos 2010
August 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, School & Enrichments
Previously I was so upset with the hairdresser who cut Donald’s and Victoria’s hair horribly, thank goodness their class photos still turned out well. Donald looked especially nice in his graduation potrait. He came home and told me that the photographer asked him to smile, but he replied the photographer that he doesn’t know HOW [...]

Bassinet for Bella
August 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, Pregnancy & Post Partum
Bought this Graco bassinet long ago, during Donald’s time, but kept it very well that it still looked like new! Decided it was time to assemble it again, for dear Bella. This time round, the kids wanted to help out. Donald was helping me with the screws, and both Donald and Victoria helped to button [...]

Toria is attending ballet class at Palais Dance Studio at Crown Centre. There is a One Art Studio there, so I signed Donald up for art lessons there while Toria has her ballet class. 一石二鸟。 Normally they will paint on drawing paper. But if I pay $10 more each time, he can choose to draw [...]

Toria and Liz Sing and Dance

Toria loves to dance, she likes to wear her ballet shoes at home and put on some classical music and spin around. Liz also picked that up from her. She would wear Toria’s old ballet shoes which are too small for Toria and a tat too big for Liz. She would also spin around. Today, [...]

Liz loves to join in the games that Donald and Toria play. Even though half the time, she doesn’t know what they are playing, but just following them, running around, laughing together with them, is enough to make her day!

Swim Videos

Donald is really improving leaps and bounds. He can jump in and swim the breadth of the pool by himself. And today, he attempted swiming back and forth the breadth of the pool without help and without stopping. Toria is younger, thus her progress is slower.

Daddy brought the kids down to the pool today. I went down a little later to take some pictures. And Donald insisted that he wanted to show me that he could swim using the stroke that Uncle Raymond had taught him. So I recorded for him. It is such a great improvement! Wonderful!

Saturday morning, brought the kids for MacDonalds’ Breakfast at Serene Centre. We actually saw Stefanie Sun!

They fight, that’s for sure. But when they are outside, Donald takes SUPER good care of Toria. Every year, the parent-teacher chat, the teachers will feedback to me. Different teachers, but same comments. He really takes care of Toria. Carries her bag and bottle, walk with her to the school assembly area, walk her to [...]

Lizzie is almost 18months, and she hasn’t started walking yet! She can walk very well while holding on to our finger, but she refused to take the first step on her own. She is the latest of all 3. Donald and Toria walked at about 15mths +, so we were a little worried about her. [...]
Toria Showing off her Flexibility

When she first started gym, she wasn’t flexible. I was still lamenting that I started her and Donald too late. But she worked very hard, always practicing at home. Over time, she had become more flexible. But Donald still stayed pretty much the same. 6 years old is too late?
