Childrens Discovery Musuem - San Jose

We made it to the San Jose Discovery musuem recently..

Here are some pics from our trip. Ryan was so excited to see the fire truck that he was skipping..:D .He also loved the fireman jacket..

The boys playing with the kitchen stuff at the musuem. They were making pizza.

Here is Ryan playing with soft white sand. He enjoyed scooping the sand into small containers.

Here are the kids sharing a snack..:)

Ryan and pre-school

Ryan has started pre-school at 2 year 9 months. From day one of us mentioning the word "school", he already said "I don't want to go to school". He only wants to go if mummy or daddy stays with him.

To prepare him for school, we took him in the evenings to hang out. He was ok with the "hanging out" part.

The weekend before school started, whenever we mentioned the word "school", he would have tears in his eyes and would lead to crying... so, we did not mention it anymore.

First day of school, he threw up twice, and would cry everytime there was a change in activity. Poor kid. guess he was totally traumatized.... Day two, we decided to send him the same day as Ethan, his fren from daycare, and I think the day was a little better.

We are now at day 4, he still says he does not want to go to school and wants to go to the babysitter's house. He will cry when he gets to school, but supposedly stops earlier. At the end of the day, he wants to bring home his pillow and blanket so that he does not have to go to school again... I really think that having Ethan there has helped..:)

We have to pack lunch for him, and even when he sees us packing his lunch box, he says "I don't want to go to school". heheh. So, lunches have been simple; pasta, peanut butter jelly bread, chicken strips.. we usually add some cookies so it would be fun. So far, he has not eaten too much. The school gives snacks with milk.

I am glad we finally have him in school. He has come home with many sheets of art which means he gets to do stuff that he does not do at home. Since he doesn't like school, he does not want to tell me what he does in school. He did mention that he saw strawberries and they were still small and cannot be eaten yet.

Happy schooling Ryan!

Dylan videos..:D

Kitchen time!

Playdate

We had a playdate with Ethan and Daran over the weekend at our house.

Ethan's mom was busy, so she dropped him off around 10am. He jumped off the car and did not even say bye to his mom.... so easy!

Sodany came with Daran. Daran was SO excited that he supposedly put on his shoes while Sodany was showering and yelled "mummy, Ryan's house!!"

The playdate started with the kids playing in the living room. We basically let them play together while we chit chatted. Dylan was suppose to nap in the morning, but he refused to go down since he knew there were people around. His 9.30am nap was moved to 12.30pm!

The kids went from the living room to upstairs, but since there were few toys upstairs, we went outside instead to play with the water table. Water table is always fun since the kids get all wet..hehehe.

Since it was a mid-morning playdate, I told the parents that i would have lunch ready. I made pasta the night before, so it was easy... pasta and corn for lunch. yums! So, we had to change all the kids since they all got wet and my guest did not bring extra clothes. I got a chance to put all the kids in white t-shirts and got my pictures..:D

The playdate ended around 1.30pm. The kids were happy and none of them cried when they left (phew).

Ryan was very happy. He was the one who actually asked me to ask Ethan and Daran to come and play at his house so that he can share his train table.He did have one crying session when Ethan was playing with one of the toys and Ryan wanted it...
