Moving on (part 1)
Dearest Phoebe,
Daddy has promised to write an entry on how August 09 was a significant month for us and especially you. However mummy just thought of giving a 'snapshot of it' after receiving a text from your ex-chinese teacher in your previous childcare. She told mummy every morning when taking attendance, she would ask the children who is not in class today. The kids would reply its you. Even though she has corrected them that you have moved on to another school, the children would still reply "靖恩没来“
By the way, you told your teachers in the new school that you miss your teachers and friends in character montessori too. Never knew at your age, all these relationships that you formed would have such lasting impressions.
Here are some photos of you taken at your previous childcare centre. See how much you have grown in just one year.
Luv you,
Mummy

Say Cheese!
Dearest Phoebe,
Mummy is quite an idiot when it comes to computer softwares and has never dabbled with photoshop. So this is my first time trying out Picasa which turned out pretty cool. But credit should go to the little model who put on her best smile ever.
p/s: These photos were taken a few days after you recovered from your chicken pox. Talk about detox :-)
HFMD scare
Dearest Phoebe,
We were happily seated at the bus-stop one late Saturday morning waiting for the bus when you told Mummy you had two blisters on your hand and foot. Immediately, we brought you to the GP and the latter diagnosed it as Hand Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD).
Mummy felt rather sad as you just recovered not too long ago from flu and cough and now HFMD. However the next day, we discovered more and more blisters besides those on your foot and hands. There were blisters on your head, back and face. Hence you brought you to a PD for a second opinion and found out you had chicken pox!
It was a very very painful experience that you had to go through as your chicken pox was a full-blown one. I remember there was once when you woke up in the middle of the night and crying your lungs out for nearly half an hour as you complained of blisters in your gums. Daddy and Mummy were really helpless. So now mummy strongly encourages mummies out there who have not given chicken pox jabs to their kids to go for it. I dont think any kid out there should go through this. For this, Mummy is really sorry for procrastinating when it comes to chicken pox jab, leaving you a couple of scars on your face.
Luv you always,
Mummy
Phoebe turns 3 - It's Party Time!
Dearest Phoebe,
We celebrated your third birthday at your childcare centre on 16 July, two days earlier than your actual birthday. That morning, you happily put on the 'Little Miss Curious' t-shirt, courtesy of Auntie Michelle. You love the t-shirt a lot partly because you are now a fervent collector of Little Miss and Mr Men series including their books and keychains.
We dropped you off in school and Daddy and Mummy happily went off for our breakfast not realising the school party started earlier than we thought. Nonetheless, when we reached the school, you were comfortably seated for the party proceedings. When asked by your form teacher what you can do at three years old, you proudly told her you could sing and even sang the Thomas and Friends theme song to the class, albeit a little soft.
After the celebration which we were sure you had fun, we did not bring you out for any family celebration. Instead we brought you to Gleneagles Hospital to visit Ah Ma who just had a knee implant operation. Mummy felt it would be more meaningful to bring a smile on the face of your loved ones than anything else on this occasion. True enough, Ah Ma who took care of you since you were a baby, was pleasantly surprised to see you and you sat closely to her on her bed. It was a heartwarming sight. When you are old enough to read this entry on your own, Mummy hopes you learn to be reciprocal to those who have cared for you, especially your elders.
Luv you,
Mummy.
p/s: Your birthday cake was being dugged two holes by your classmate Enoch. Though furious, Mummy taught you the concept of being forgiving and well, everyone just want to have some fun, though not at the expense of others :-)

Dearest Phoebe,Here's the most recent photo of you which I thought was really sweet. It was taken against the wall of our new home which you happily posed. Hope you will always have such pretty smile that warms our hearts.

Alphabets Rescue
Dearest Phoebe,
'Alphabets Rescue' is actually the title of the book that you read the other day. Mummy thought it was quite well-read by you and hope you will continue to show an interest in reading. Keep up the good work darling.
Luv,
Mummy
