SSO Baby Prom 2009

12th Dec 2009 Saturday


Motherhood really broadens my horizon. Your arrival and presence unfolds a new life fill with so much fun that I never know or heard of. And Baby Prom is one of them. And I think it's cool.

I first read about Baby Prom from the forum and there were mixed reviews. I didnt give a hoot then. But earlier this year, looking at how much you enjoyed music and dancing, I made a mental note to bring you for the prom. Maybe you would enjoy the prom. SO I thought. Maybe.

But when sistic released the tickets for sale, I was still procrastinating. Then the tickets were snapped up the next day! I couldnt believe it. I was suddenly very disappointed as my baby is going to miss her first prom due to my procrastination! Then I was told that sistic would be releasing more tickets. So you guessed it. I was monitoring the sistic website just like the stock market.... But you are not going to believe this because I missed another chance again.... I was getting really disheartened. But I didnt give up. I maybe a procrastinator but a resourceful one. I changed strategy and utilised another avenue to continue my search.

Well, my patience and persistence paid off. Two misses and finally I managed to get my hands on not One but FOUR tickets! (And prime seats!) I cannot believe my luck! So I decided to share these tickets with our good friends- Trudy, Tory and Julius (too bad he cant make it)

Anyway, I am really happy and will always remember that I had the honour to escort you to your very first prom! I guess you are still too young to appreciate the concert but you certainly had fun with Trudy. You girls were having so much fun playing with each other and auntie Lina and myself were just happy to watch over you girls.

I am looking forward to next year's prom and this time around, I promise to stop procrastinating...



My First Prom 2009

Music to my ears..........

Two good friends all dressed up for their first prom in life

Love this picture- Two pretty girls with their individual mischievous looks.

The highlight of the day started after the prom ended.

Haha... This is even better than the concert!

The girls had so much fun balloon fighting!

Let's Boogie, Baby!

You have been dancing quite a lot recently. You would stand up, hands in the air and shake your booty. It is a really funny sight. Left, right, left, right, left, right. And when I tell you to sway your body, you will start swaying your body front, back, front, back... And you have been dancing a lot these days

And when you hear any songs playing (esp your favourite songs), you would go: Ta Ta Ta Ta Not the babyish blabbering but counting your beats to the song. Four beats or two beats. Ta Ta (a slow 2 beats).....Ta Ta Ta Ta (4 fast beats)

Several mummies from your class were telling me that you do have something for music after witnessing you dancing, tapping and swaying in class. I am just glad you love music and hope your passion for dancing will continue.

I love dancing and I used to dance alot. I took ballet and folk/ chinese dancing lessons and I danced my way through my primary school and first half of my secondary school. After that I continue my passion for dancing in Zouk- Retro Night

Anyway, since you seem to enjoy dancing, I am looking around hoping to find some dance classes for babies. You know, some fun sounding classes which involve a lot of moving around. But most dance classes are for toddlers age 3 and above.

But I have shortlisted Dance Babes at Jitterbugs for the time being. You cant start till you are two. So I will continue in my search for a Dancing class for my baby. In the mean time, I had already registered you at Jitterbugs.

So did you inherit your dancing genes from me? I have no idea but I sure hope you will always have something to dance about in your life.

Graduation Day

13th August 2009

Today is our third graduation Day with Kindermusik. You had completed 3 terms- Zoom Buggy, Dream Pillow and Cock-a-Doodle-Moo. How time flies!

Thank you Teacher Angel!

I was talking to Auntie Stephie during class and came to realise that we had completed 3 terms. That means- 8weeks per term x 3 terms= 6 months! That is like half of your one earthly year! Wow....

Making Music

You have a new hobby- blowing the trumpet. You seem to love to learn how to use the different musical instruments. I guess you pick up this from kindermusik. You mastered blowing the trumpet last weekend. Your dad was showing you how to blow into the trumpet and you took a try and voila! And everyone clapped for you.

SO now you are hooked. And you will stop each time to make sure we clap together with you. So cute..

The sound of Music

Music is said to be the spiritual of the arts because it is pure vibration of which the Universe is composed. That was the reason why I exposed you to many musical instruments and started you with Kindermusik at 6 months old. Dont get me wrong, Marsh. I dont expect you to be a genius musician. Just want you to be in touch with your music instincts and live your life harmonisely with the Universe.

Last week we were at your Cousins' place and you had your first try at the piano. Good attempt, dear!

The sound of Music

Let me choose a Classical note...

Well... Got to digest the notes first...

The sound of Music

A Duet with Cousin Vanness...

And a Solo Finale!!!!!
