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 [...]

Donald’s Birthday Party!
February 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Just Family
I’m not the type of mummy who organises huge birthday bashes for my kids every year. Because, it is too expensive, too wrecking for my poor brain to think of ideas for the party, and I think the people who keep getting invited by us every year, will get sick of coming, especially if I hold 1 [...]

NY Kindy had raised their fees this year, and to justify that, they added several extra curriculum. One of them was calligraphy. This was one of the work he brought home.

1st Tennis Class
June 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Brought the kids for a trial at Tennis Tots, Turf City. They loved it! What’s great is that the class is for 3-5 years old, so Toria barely made it. Both of them can enjoy the class together, and with Donald around, Toria is more secure. Otherwise, I think she can’t go for any class [...]
