Disco Time

This is a two-month backdated post.

Mommy guessed this was one of best birthday parties Shenny ever attended in the beginning of the year 2011.

Shenny was invited to attend Josiah's birthday party. (Josiah is her classmates since she was a toddler).
At first, mommy did not plan to allow her to attend birthday party because she had her music class to attend.  However, she persuaded really hard and showed her eagerness to go since her best friends Leanne and Qin Yii would be attending too.  Papa was the first one to give in her request, so mommy had no choice.

Shenny definitely enjoyed so much in the birthday party because she get to dance in the birthday party with her friends.  Normally, she dances alone at home.

Initially, children were asked to play "musical chair" game but shortly some girls had disagreement with boys.  Then, the birthday's boy father asked them to dance.  But girls didn't want to dance with boys together.  Both Shenny and Leanne decided to dance in the living room and rest of girls followed.  And, boys danced at car porch.

Shenny, Leanne  and Qin Yii enjoyed dance together inside the house. Then the boys joined in later.

Most of mommies stayed at the birthday party, including mommy. 

While children had fun, mommies could chit-chat around.  

At first, all mommies felt very interesting and fun to see our children dance.  Then we began to worry.

We began to discuss about our kids.  We wonder what they would be like in next 10 years.  

They were only 5 year old and they had begun to dance like adults already. That certainly be more when they reach their teenage ages.  Would we able to cope with it?

CNY Crafty Work

As usual, Shenny would make some arts and craft related to CNY at her kindy and art's class before CNY.

At art class, Shenny made a big Ang Pow pocket and a pink lantern.

Her art teacher gave her a ready cut red paper and teach her how to fold and glue it to make a big pocket.
Then, she could draw, colour and decorate the pocket as she likes.

She wanted this for our family only.

At home, her papa suggested Shenny to make one big Ang Pow pocket for her grandmother and grandfather since we would celebrate CNY there. Shenny agreed with papa's suggestion.

Luckily, mommy had some red paper at home, so Shenny happily drew, cut and glue to make the Ang Pow pocket.

As for the chinese writing, Shenny was not so good at it. She asked mommy wrote on a piece of paper and she followed the strokes.

Shenny said "This big Ang Pow pocket is for grandmother's whole family".
Therefore she drew lots of people including a baby (her little cousin, Calvin).
Both her grandmother (in pink dress) and grandfather stood right in front.

As the art work from  her kindy, her teacher gave all children two ready made CNY cards, and had them to do a bit of coloring, sticking and writing on the cards themselves. 

Mommy thought this is too simple for 6 year old children and much less creative compare to her enrichment art class.

Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year !!!

Gong Xi Gong Xi 恭喜恭喜

Shenny plays a simple Chinese New Year song for everyone.

Wishing everyone Happy Chinese New Year. May joy, good health and happiness be with you all the time.
