Esther attends Cousins Birthday Party at JWT Kids Gym

Entry by Bernard,

Once again, Esther met up with her 3 distant cousins (from Grandfather 's 2nd older brother grandkids). Actually Daddy met them for the 1st time too.

JWT is a super fun child friendly gym, led by a experience instructor, who was the host for the party. Kids that are aged 5-8 will definitely love it, as Esther chanced around the soft carpet to do slides, hang and run  around.

Esther's favourite slide, as she did it almost 30-40 times.

Time for a break, getting fed by Grandpa.

Team exercise starts with the instructor barking orders. Esther joined in the fun - lie on your back and wriggled on your front. Poor darling got knocked down and cried, once the children started running round the circle.

Now I look like a gymnast

Time for Gu Pour to feed me

Good Report as Esther turns 22 months

Entry by Diana

Esther has a good report on her medical checkup..

Height = 86cm (75 percentile)
Weight = 10.8kg (50 percentile)
Head circumference 46cm (25 percentile)

Though her head is a bit smaller, its not a big concern as she is meeting all her learning curves..
Thus, Esther is a tall girl with average weight and a slightly small head.

Safety First

To safeguard Esther, the house will be fenced up and Grilles had came up.

Esther 1st stage performace for Seeds Sch Graduation Ceremony 2009

Entry by Bernard,

There is full attendance turnout for Esther 1st performance on stage. She is going to don in Pink Tights and long Sleeved collar white shifts for her Ribbon Waving performance.

Tickets, Schedules and Souvenior Cards on show.

Esther started her rehearsal in a crying mode together with her close friend.

Look like a worship event, but actually a dance around induced by the supervisor Ruth. Kah Loong was actually caught catching some nap time before the event started.

Esther started her actual performance in nice mode, a bit of ribbon swinging, did a smile, before she caught everyone looking at her. Hence she started to wimper, but held strong. Then she began to wander off and took her eyes off her performance. No problem, its the learning experience that counts.

Finale - Everyone comes out and Esther started disappearing into the crowds, before 1 kind auntie picked her up.

Esther, You are Super the Way You Are. !

Esther Takes to the bars

Entry by Bernard,

Our normal walks to the fitness corner brought a new surprise that Esther can and like to hang on bars. After Daddy demonstrated some moves, Esther promptly copied and hanged on the bars, lifting her legs up and even slightly lifting herself up. Gym classes could be next :)

Esther loves to sing!

Entry by Diana

Esther likes to sing and hmm along to songs. When her grandma sang 'Jesus loves us' (instead of 'Jesus loves me'), she promptly corrected grandma by looking up and saying 'Me!'.

Clean and Green Week at North West RO

Entry by Bernard,

Republic Poly was a good venue to host the NWRO CGS. However, we learnt that the event did not turn out as well as it should.  But nevertheless, many have put in great effort.

Esther is still on the Gold formula

Entry by Diana,

Mummy's milk is the best! Esther is proud to announce that she still enjoys mummy's milk and will continue to absorb all the goodness of breastmilk until end Jan 2010. That is when mummy will slowly introduce formula milk for her. It is also when she will turn 2 years old exactly :)

We are glad to say that Esther's immune system is superb with only 3 cases of mild flu-related sickness since she's born.

Hot Afternoon at Clean and Green Week (Hort Park)

Entry by Bernard,

We made the wrong decision of parking at Telok Blangah Hilll, and trekking past the high rise planforms. It was a long journey, but a worthwhile trip at least to support Mommy yearly CGS event.

Esther sportingly allowed the volunteers to tatoo her arm.

Esther 's new vehicle !

My new home must be Eco-friendly.

MaMa and Rest quickly bailed out, after seeing a free shuttle bus to Harbour Front. We took the hard trek back to our car park lot.
