Paris's musical lesson:)

This morning, as usual both lil Ps woke up really early. I'm very sleepy, as yesterday i couldn't sleep at all (due to the tonic my mil brew). Drove hubby to changi camp at 6pm, i almost dozed off on the way back! Came home, bath and prepared Princeton boy. As we were early, we went for mac breakfast before his phonics started. Who koes after eating, he poo...... and poo ALOT. Brought him to the toilet and clean him up, then quickly go for his phonics lesson.

Roamed around the market for an hour. Went to stock up some necessities, and some health supplements for the family. Calcium pill for me and my mum, vitamin C for all of us. Went to the Chinese medical hall to stock up <Pao shen> as well, because I'm always feeling tired. After Tian's lesson, he said he wanted to eat noodles, so i brought him to the market for lunch. He ate almost one plate.....! Good appetite:) 

We then drove home and fetch Paris and maid.. i took a quick bath, so do Princeton. The weather is simply too hot and humid, freaking burning hot day. Princeton finished his one litre of water in 3hours time. 

Reached the music place at 2pm. Half an hour early. Paris was happy with the environment as it was cooling and toys entertaining her. Soon came another gal, 11months. They were interacting... looking at each other where suddenly that girl pushed Paris down:( The cry bb of course screamed on top of her voice lol. But within one min OK le. Made her second attempt to go near that friend again! And Paris was being pushed down the second time. I was near her, but wasn't paranoid, because i felt its perfectly OK for children to push&pull around and beat around. Snatch toys here and there. If not they are not children already. As long not head injury, or life threatening, let them be. No point being a helicopter parents, scared this scared that. This is the experience i had learnt. My naive and overprotective reaction had caused Princeton to be 'timid', lack of confident, and slow in his speech. 

I'm OK when my children cry. But I'm worried when they make others cry.... Will feel very guilty when they caused unhappiness to others. Hopefully all parents can be more open in the way, don't get too worried when our child gets hurt. They gonna learn in some way or another. But i must make sure the lil Ps don't get too violent (biting or poke people's eyes, hit their head etc) Fortunately, i haven seen such acts. Even pushing, Princeton had never do that before, at most only snatch toys:p Paris only push her brother loh. Others she don't dare.
Today was a trial for us, as recommended by Xiaolin. The class was crowded with 6 babies! Usually only 3, maximum 4. I am positive with the teaching styles, and i like the teacher alot. A very approachable teacher and friendly too. I would like to enroll Paris for the class, but the time slot for her age group is currently full. Need to be on waiting list.... She will get back to us again.
Princeton boy got hay wired towards the end of the lesson:( The teacher's son snatch the toys from him, and this big baby cry. Very embarrassed. Quickly say sorry to them and explain to Tian that these are not his toys, he said he wanna go home play bubble. We left the place, and he was OK again. Phew..... Reached home, he knocked out within 5mins. Play bubble in his dreamland lol.... How i wished he can understand that being tired is not excuse for throwing tantrums.
Paris also another pampered one. Girls very difficult to teach.... bcoz i don't bear to beat daughters. Zhenyu and ah ma confirmed won't discipline.... Don't mentioned about my inlaws, the way they kiss and hug her, i know 'finished' already. hahaha....
A great experience today. I hope to bring Paris out to explore more gyms and people. Want her to interact more so that her first day of school wouldn't be too dramatic:p
