Heidi graduated from Infant section and moved on to toddler group in Del-Care. Although the first day was supposed to be 2 March, the teachers had been orientating Heidi the week before to help her adapt to the new 'lifestyle'. This included scheduling her sleeping times to coincide with the toddler group, having meals and playing together. The teachers assured us that Heidi is very adaptable and has been doing very well (that was not much crying, although there were). I was quite happy to hear that, but still concerned that Heidi would equally be traumatised by the new change.
I had wanted to drop by during work hours to peep at her, but was swarmed with work. Well, I am busy with CCA rather than my actual work. The PA Songwriting Competition, which is out of the quality management work, seems to be taking almost 100% of my time. I feel really guilty for not making the time as I did for Oliver. Oliver had taken almost three months to get used to the new environment. He was crying most of the times and almost lost his voice from the constant crying. At times during his dream or perhap nightmare, he cried in his sleep. It was a traumatic experience for Oliver and for us. Jeanette shared with us months later she thought that Boon Heng and I could not go through the ordeal, and would pull out. Wrong guess. Oliver would be equally traumatised if he would to join another school.
Heidi, on the hand, behaved very well which made me worried. She cried mostly in the morning when we left her. At night when we fetched her, she was usually seen playing with her friend or roaming around the room. Perhap she think she is on holiday and unaware that she would be in toddler group permanently. Maybe, she knew Oliver was somewhere near her, Or, perhap I have with me a highly adaptable and brave little girl. Oh.. why do I feel my nose up in the air? I feel like a proud parent now.
我们还去水果店认识水果，那里的水果多得真是琳琅满目啊！家长还给我们带来了自己喜欢的水果，来和其他小伙伴分享。老师帮我们把水果切成小块块，放入沙拉酱，我们就拿着小汤匙搅拌起来，嘻嘻真好玩儿！
听说用柠檬擦桌子会很干净，于是老师特地买来柠檬，让我们学习做家务，感觉自己像个小大人。看着自己擦得桌子这么干净，特有成就感，这就是成长的快乐吧！
I thought that Heidi's eyes have recently grown bigger. But after looking at these photographs, I realised it was afterall my imagination. 
Similar to our last trip to the zoo July last year, we greeted the otter not too long after we stepped into the zoo.
Once again, we tucked into our favourite meal - Beryani Chicken and thirst quenching iced lemon tea.
Heidi shaked Ah Meng's hand
Oliver's favourite animal in the zoo.
Boon Heng and Oliver posed for the camera.
We love the unlimited tram ride at the zoo, and couldn't help ourselves to compare the lousy monorail ride we had at the Bird Park. Zoo surely surpassed the bird park in almost everything I can think of.
Heidi just woken up from her 1-hour sleep and looking rather confused....
but looking pretty and happy.
