2Y4M (JP) - Yee Third Ballet Class

Yee's ballet instructor, 鹿野浩子(カノヒロコ)

Today, Daddy sacrificed his class to look after Yee at home. Daddy wanted Yee to sleep in late so that Yee would not be tired during her ballet class. Last week, Yee was sleepy during the class. About 15 minutes before the class ended, Yee walked to us and started to remove her clothes, shoes and socks. We thought perhaps it was too tiring for her to accompany us to our Japanese class from 10am to 12noon and then rushed home for lunch before leaving for her 1:30pm ballet class. Yee really slept in late till 10am, instead of 8:30am. She was in high-spirit when we went for the ballet class. She changed into her new costume, shoes and socks which the instructor had helped us to purchase. Daddy and Mummy were excited to watch Yee ‘dance’ in her new attire.… but we had a totally new and unexpected experience …
Not knowing why, Yee was extremely restless during class today. She wandered and would not follow the instructor.

Yee remove her shoes and socks in the midst of the class and then put them back again.

This is the only part that Yee co-operated with the instructor. Perhaps, it was because ... Mummy has been playing 'skipping' with Yee at home.

2Y4M (JP) ~ Ballet Diary ~ Restless Yee




 

2Y4M (JP) - Little Flying Fish

Daddy brought Yee for a swim after the disappointing ballet class. As if to cheer Daddy up, Yee did an incredible act at the pool.

Yee sat on the edge of the pool, jumped down and swam about 1.8m to Daddy with one breadth!!

Mummy thought Daddy's was exaggerating. But Yee's amazing act was witnessed by our friend, DuJuan.

We went to 南根 (みなみね) park today. Yee-chan played with the slide and swing. Then she picked up acorns with friends. Yee-chan looked satisfied with her picking. Regarding the medicine, the nursery has decided not to feed children with commercial medicine, but only prescription from clinic. Please bring prescription medicine from now onwards.
Praying with Yee
Mummy has failed to get Yee to use the toilet bowl/potty. This evening, Mummy prayed with Yee (Yee repeated after Mummy) "Dear God, please help Koh Yee to use toilet bowl for poo-poo and wee-wee. Thank You, Jesus. Jesus name, we pray, Amen."
