There was a performance by the kids on the last day of the camp. Kyle acted as Pony, the seahorse with some lines.

What he did not know is that the Father Seahorse is the one carrying the babies and he went to help the wrong party instead and making a mess of things.

1st Ballet Lesson

Meryl with Casey

8/12/2007 Sat

Meryl went for her 1st proper ballet lesson today after we drove her dad to the airport. She wore her leotards and her tutu and looked SOOOOO cute! The class was very small, only 2 other girls and a little boy (trial). She was very sticky to me after I told her that I cannot be in the room with her today. Luckily a sweet solved the problem and she became the most attentive student. The girls got a lot of attention as the class was small and Meryl enjoyed herself very much.

Went to Jalan Kayu with Uncle Ryan, Auntie Jennifer, 3rd Grandaunt, grandma and Tagu. Had a feast of Malay food before heading home for mahjong. The kids slept and after their dinner went over to stay at their granddad's place. Meryl was thrilled but still remembered that she needed to 'keep me company'. I told her that her mission is to look after her kor kor then she happily nodded and left.

The next morning, they feasted on Macdonald's breakfast and went to see the lights at Orchard in the evening. They were totally exhausted by the time they returned home at 10.

Ballet Trial lesson

2/11/2007 Sun

Morning was a mad rush...the kids were eating their breakfast so slowly, I just realised that the RC organised Kampong Spirit (which I bought 7 tickets) was today and Meryl's ballet trial was at 1015. We managed to get the kids showered and ready by 10 afterwhich Jo went to collect the gifts and snacks and I collected Raine to go for ballet. Luckily Tim agreed to drive us over.

The 2 girls were so excited about the lesson. They did not hesitate at all when the class started although Meryl kept asking to wear the leotard that looks sooooo cute! Both of them followed very closely to the teacher's instructions initially but soon Meryl's attention waned and she began her mischiefs, like looking around, hopping and calling out to me. Halfway through the lesson, Kerise, another neighbour's kid warmed up and also joined them. 5 min before the lesson ended, Amy arrived and Raine refused to dance anymore and Meryl followed suit. We signed them up for Sat classes and then headed home.

After the kids' nap, we went to fil's place where the kids swam. After dinner Tim and I went out to do grocery shopping at NTUC Xtra for 1 and half hours. We left fil's place only at 10. The kids had their milk , washed up, reviewed their behaviour and went to bed. It was kyle's turn to sleep with us tonight. He asked a lot of questions about good birds and bad birds tonight which I half-heartedly attempted to answer until the dad came in and gave the ultimatum. No more Noise!
