Papa's Day 2013

Last week we had a Papa's Day Celebration at Peter and Jane.

The theme was sarong, so I wore a baju kurung.

The teachers worked hard to prepare for the celebration.

 Ta-daa!

This greeted the papas as they came to be celebrated.

 

The highlight of the event was lining them up and making them wear sarong.

Papa was asked to demonstrate how to wear a sarong.



Secure left part, secure right part, secure middle part ...

  

Twist for added security ...



And roll, roll, roll!

Oh, sarong had other uses too.

Craft time!

The coolest part of it was I had papa all to myself for the day! Woo hoo!

  

We continued the celebration on Sunday - the actual Papa's Day.

Papa got another present - super early morning hugs and kisses and wake up call from me!

To my papa, thank you so very much for coming to the celebration.

I love you very much and you know I listen to you more than I do mommy

*she nags, you just have to say it once hehee*.

I love it when we rumble and you tickle me silly.

I remember the things you teach me, like the word yeskeyyyy.
I thank you for shaving your beard and moustache because trust me, beard burns are such owwies.

While we fight over the TV, we compromise and I sometimes sit grudgingly through HBO while you snore through Disney.

 But most of all, you are my Papa, and I love you because you are half of me!!!

A post dedicated to my teachers

Dear Miss Adrina, Miss Sity and Mrs Liza,

Thank you for making me what I am today.

After almost 1.5 years with Peter and Jane, I have so much to thank you for.

My mommy and papa sure are surprised and proud when I appropriately use words like otherwise, however and oopsie-daisy, and am able to differentiate between an ellipse and an oval, and draw a trapezium (eventhough it looks like a lopsided heart).

Not to mention when I am able to explain that my new toy lizard is sad because we left his mommy in the toy shop, and question whether the needle marks on Wan's hand are "serious". Or why the household, including the cat, has to wake up at 7.00 on a Sunday morning because it is alweady bwight.

While I may still incorrectly argue that twenty-ten comes after twenty-nine, "A.W.A.S - M.u.a.t.a.n. P.a.n.j.a.n.g" spells LORRY, and the digital clock is showing eight fifteen five, I hope I am on the right track of learning, and will continue to absorb all that you have to teach me.

Oh, mommy is also grateful that I eat my greens five days a week (she can't ever make me on weekends hee hee), and that I have become less OCD when it comes to making sure that the toes and heels of my socks are in place before I fold the socks and secure the velcro (I have also lowered my standards of perfection for matching the velcros, as requested).

Papa loves that I am very expressive in my speech, although I may come across as over-dramatic to some, and that eventhough I may not conclude my statements logically, I take time to think before I say something. He loves it that I can compare things, and am able to point out that mommy is shorter than papa.

While learning is a lifelong process, thank you dear teachers for this excellent start, and I hope I make you proud.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
