Holiday Activities

Sent domestic helper home on 28th last month. Shall not engage any helper in Dec since it's my school holidays and I can become the full time maid. I love my holidays, get to spent the best of all quality time with QY. And also learnt alot more about her. I must record this down, it's as good as my achievement for this Dec holidays.
(1) She finally allowed me to bathe her. Previously she didn't as I was impatient and splashed water into her eyes. As of today, she learnt to bathe entirely by herself.


(2) Made a number of christmas greeting cards with her. She has mastered the use of scissors and is cutting very well. Still can't write well, I have to write in pencil and she is happy enough tracing them out. Also painted a few clay pieces and made into magnets.
(3) Went for numerous playdates and swim at Mel's place. Girl managed to do some artwork there. Painted a T-shirt, made chocolates, paper motif cutting. (4) attended Disney Princess show @ indoor stadium. She was so well behaved, I rewarded her with a magic wand which thrills her so much.
(5) attended shopping mall christmas performances. Dora at parkway(2x), Strawberry shortcake at Whitesands, Winx club at United Square. She loved this pink skirt so much. but it's borrowed from Ath.

(6) Borrowed a "scooter" for her to play with. She is proficient at it now, but suffered 2 cuts on her legs while learning it.
(7) Set up christmas tree at my mom's place.
(8) Visited the zoo new water play area. Took loads of photos.
(9) looking forward to a family holiday at Genting highlands with Mel and Siew's family.
(10) Borrowed Grandma's sewing machine and mended every torn clothes in the house.
(11) Been reading to her more often at bedtime.
(12) Negative: Introduced her to the playing computer games. She is currently going to the disneyplayhouse website alot.
Back to work next year, hope I won't be too tired out. I have learnt from previous holidays that if I don't have enough ME-time, I will burn out. So now eyeing my own short little holidays over the CNY long weekend. And must thank my dear cousin JM for chipping in every now and then, to be my part-time, highly dedicated and engaging babysitter.
