Ever since Summer break, I made sure that I was armed with plenty of workbook for incoming first grader. I do not want Baba to have a hard time this coming school year, more so be left behind. I am pretty aware that the demands for a first grader can be very challenging and I [...]

Yay, I have a lot of catching up to do in this blog. First off, Baba officially graduated from Kindergarten today and here is a photo of him walking with his neighbors on one of their last few days of school.

I got so pooped researching about metal building that I stopped and do my favorite de-stressor, cleaned Baba’s room! Look what I found!

Boy oh boy! I need those remedies for under eye dark circles for another week. Baba’s Social life as I would always say is more active, celebrated and hectic than us, his dad and mom’s social life.

Writing used to be Baba’s favorite activity, he would love to doodle about just anything and try to write sentences the best he could, that was during the start of Kindergarten.  I guess he became too overwhelmed with writing tasks at school that I noticed the decline of interest in writing. Hence, I researched on [...]

The first week of Baba’s Kindergarten School was a success, although, I believe that we still have to improve in his behavior particularly on listening and following directions as he has been put on time out once yesterday, his teachers said that he excels in his academics. When asked what his favorite time of the [...]

During the Kindergarten Round-Up and Open House, I made sure to sign up for the volunteers sheet. DH and I promised that we will be active parents in Baba’s Kindergarten school. In this way, we are also able to observe the needs of our child and if this school is potential for his gradeschool years. [...]
