Bittersweet

Yesterday I noticed that the little boy's bottom front adult teeth were cutting through his gums from behind his milk teeth. He was excited with the thought that he was growing up and getting bigger.

That night it later dawned on me how fast he's growing up... My little boy is fast growing into a little man and I kinda felt a little sad. Time seems to be passing to fast. It seemed like it wasn't too long ago that he was flashing us gummy grins. Sigh!

What?? Primary one already?!

Seriously need a slow down button somewhere! In a matter of months time my little man will be going to primary one!! Gosh...! All grown up already? But mummy's not ready for P1 yet!! *bawls*

Not exactly really looking forward to it given the stressful education standards we have here in SG. Sigh, and the thoughts of 6am mornings and homework battles are another thing. 

Weekends will definitely become more precious from then on and shall try to plan fun activities for him as much as possible!

20th July, we have registered Samuel for Saint Gabriel's Primary School. We were #19 for day 1 of phase 2B. Waiting for the registration, it still felt surreal for me somehow.

We are hoping for the best this evening when the MOE website gets updated after 7pm, please.... No balloting please!!!  

Swimming!:)

The smallys have started taking swimming lessons! It's been 2 lessons so far.
Well, big smally has gotten from being fearful to having fun but small smally has gone from fun to fearful! Geez, so she's going to stop lessons. Pity though coz we thought she was doing great.



Awww what a cutie in that suit!








It's just that she can't seem to get the hang of breath holding when underwater. Oh well, we will try again maybe later in the year.
She was a little sore about it when I told her we'll be stopping her lessons. She attempted to protest by claiming she can kick water which means she can swim.
After her feeble attempts she was resigned that she won't be having classes and proceeded to say that she would be staying home and won't be going to watch korkor swim. Hurhur... What a feisty cutie! :p 

Update: cutie didn't stop lessons... She managed to muster her courage and carry one! Way to go!:)
