2Y5M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery Report
We practised for the sports day. Yee-chan watched the DVD and was dancing happily. After the practice, we played with balls. Yee-chan and friends were throwing a lot of balls together.
Spoken Words
a) Daddy made the bed in the morning and Yee said, "上手(じょうず)" (skillful)to him. Last evening was the first time Yee used this word. Mummy could not recall the incident.
b) At the door, Yee said, "Excuse me," as Mummy was blocking her way.
c) Recently, Yee loves to say, "... ないよ" to everything we said. E.g. "Showerないよ", "Kissないよ", "Stop Crying ないよ". This is equivalent to what Singapore toddler loves to say, "No".
d) At dinner time, Mummy looked at Yee and smiled. Yee looked at Mummy with a serious expression and said, "Happy
ない." Mummy was puzzled and asked, "Why?" "Eat," came Yee's reply. Yee wanted to stop smiling and eat her dinner.
e) While watching Barney, Yee wanted Mummy to stay beside her. When Mummy attempted to walk away, she said, "行かない” (don't go).
f)
When Daddy kisses Yee, she will sometimes say, "ここ 痛い(いたい), kiss ない" (here, pain, no kiss) and placed her hand where Daddy just kissed her.
Mosquitoes Spotter
It all started with Mummy killing mosquitoes with her hands. Mummy explained to Yee that we need to kill them as they will bite us (interestingly the mosquitoes never bite Daddy). Since, Yee has been spotting them
and telling us, "bite." In fact, Mummy killed a few mosquitoes successfully because Yee spotted them. She is indeed a great helper and skiller mosquitoes spotter.
Bedtime Prayer
- Mummy added new item in the normal bedtime prayer "... Tomorrow Koh Yee goes to ballet class. Pray that Koh Yee will follow senei. Daddy and Mummy cannot go to the dance floor," "STOP," said Yee.
“Good Job” and “Bad Job” Poster
- Mummy did this “Good Job” and “Bad Job” poster, in hope that, it will help Yee to understand the difference between good and bad behaviours at the ballet class.
- Mummy explained to Yee that when Yee stays on the dance and follow sensei, that is "good job" and Daddy, Mummy, Sensei and Yee will be happy. If Yee runs around, that is "bad job" and Daddy, Mummy, Sensei and Yee will be sad.
- Mummy taught Yee once. And she immediately did the thumb-up for “Good Job” and thumb-down, with a sad face for “Bad Job”.Mummy prayed that God will help Yee to follow teacher’s instruction for this week class.

Morning Doctor Visit
Yee was coughing throughout the night and had slight fever. Mummy was concerned. There was a tropical storm warning and the wind was blowing very strongly. Thank God that the ride to the clinic was fine.
Kinder Nursery Report

Yee-chan finished her lunch box and drank her medicine. After taking the medicine, she slept quickly during nap. She coughed a little during sleep.
At Kinder Nursery
Due to the tropical storm, there was no train service at our station. So, Daddy had a day off. In the evening, Daddy accompanied Mummy to pick up Yee. Daddy went in to pick Yee while Mummy tried to take picture secretly.

Blow kiss to 先生
Journey Home
As it was not raining, Daddy carried Yee's tricycle to her nursery. Yee was delighted to see her tricycle after
a week (it has been raining the whole week and Mummy could not bring the tricycle along).

2Y5M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery Report
We had race in the room today. Yee-chan did not say "ヨーイドン" nor start to run when her friends ran. When I told her, “Yee-chan, come,” she smiled and ran. Her expression was very cute.
Daddy's Special Gift for Yee

Daddy bought this Japanese Children Song Book for Yee. Yee loves it very much. She actually knew
some of the songs and danced along. We believe she learned from Nursery.

Song: てのひらをたいように


After singing and dancing for a long time, she laughed heartily.

2Y5M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery Report
We played with 積み木(blocks) and blocks. Yee-chan, together with friends, lined up the blocks to make a train. She was very skillful.
Yee's Fave Japanese Children Song
Recently, Yee has been singing this Japanese song -  
大きな栗の木の下で (おおきなくりのきのしたで) 
(Under the spreading chestnut tree)

おおきなくりの きのしたで
あなたと わたし なかよくあそびましょう (you and I play together)
おおきなくりの きのしたで

Yee Fave DVD

Yee never get tired of this. She can watch it everyday. Move over Elmo...


Family Sofa
Thank God for this FOC family sofa, a great blessing for us. Now, Daddy and Mummy often sat on it to chit-chat. Even Yee loves it and claim her territory (in the middle of us).

2Y5M (JP) - Ballet Class

Ballet Class
- Daddy brought Yee to the ballet class first. For the first ten minutes, Yee followed the teacher. After that, she started to roam on the dance floor.
- Mummy arrived 30 minutes later to see Daddy sitting in the front of the teacher, encouraging Yee to sit beside him. When Yee saw Mummy, she ran to Mummy. Mummy tried, without success to get her to follow the teacher.
- Then when it came to Yee's favourite dance movement, Mummy (9 months pregnant) had to get onto the dance floor and 'side-slided' with Yee across the dance floor a few times.
- Daddy and Mummy know that it is very important to get Yee to follow the teacher. They have to work hard on it.
