My Princeton boy growing up progress

Princeton is coming to 3 and a half years old, which is 4 years old soon. So glad he is growing and eating well. Behaviour and attitude still a long way to be improved. Had been learning constantly, and even request to learn piano/keyboard. Zhenyu and i had found out some info about it, the music school YAMAHAand it's at Frontier Community Centre. If he is keen on learning, we shall enroll him next year in Jan. He will be having a Chinese enrichment program at Jurong Point next year. It's a famous language school name Tien Hsia. Brought him there for enrolment two weeks ago, he was very happy and told me he wanted to learn alot of things next time earn money buy present for me:) I do hope he will continue to have such interest and passion.

Zhenyu asked if all these are overwhelming for him. I replied, if our boy reacted like being forced by parents, crying and unwilling to walk into the classroom, i swear i will not waste my time and money to find all these trouble. Not to mention about disturbing others during lesson time, if he had no interest at all, can't even sit still and follow instruction, i will not let him join in any of the above. So, since he is positive about it, lets stretch him a little more and see how much he can absorb:) Every child is different, every child will have their own learning pace. We can't rush them of course, neither can we allow them to progress lazily and sluggishly... Therefore i felt is the parent's responsibility to bring learning and entertainment as one. Yes, childhood happiness is very important, but many people mistaking that a happy childhood only means play without limit, do whatever the child wants, do as they pleased... They are still small, let them enjoy and play as much as they want. Think again, how long can we allow it to last?? 6years old? or 10? So, you think by the time we wanted to bring them back to the right/study track, is it possible? That's why i always remind myself, my children must play hard and study hard at the same time. 




Do not quote me on the above. This is just how i felt, it's only a sharing thought. As my sis always mentioned, children do not know the limit, BUT we know. I wanted to shape the most memorable, enjoyable yet bring in the essence of their childhood. Princeton love to see the photo album, When i can always show him the many places i took for them, and Princeton is able to recall the place i brought him too! (the recent cruise trip, sentosa, the different hotel's buffet, the KL/genting trip, botanic garden, east coast park, etc) Hope to make their dreams come true, as they will be over the moon by the farm stay at Australia next year!
