Farming, Balik Kampung!
The whole family went Bottle Tree Park to do farming. Yeah, there's a plot or a stretch of plantation belonged to the Ground Up Initiative (GUI)http://www.groundupinitiative.org/
We volunteered to help grow the herbs , veggies and plants there. Last Saturday we helped to do weeding. Shaun totally loved it. GUI's volunteer kept snapping his photo as he was such a lovely helper!
We shall be doing this every weekend, and water the herbs every Friday. Shaun is definitely the most excited one.
Meanwhile I would try to upload photos as I'm still figuring out where's the bluetooth driver to be installed in the pc.
Hey, we all should Balik Kampung and get your hands dirty!!

My favourite blog on Waldorf in the home
http://theparentingpassageway.com/2009/01/19/peaceful-life-with-a-three-year-old/
I think i'm pretty on track with the Waldorf's style of parenting Shaun at home. Just lacks of rythm, and singing ( ok, my singing sucks). And also knitting, puppeting and toymaking. Having said that, learning in progress now by first - doing research.
Okay, trying to get the Mother goose rhymes right into my head! Grateful that I have one of the Barney VCD on the Mother Goose rhymes and that's for me to watch haha.

Sandplay at Lower Seletar
Great to know that Shaun's fever did not come back yesterday and today, at least till now. But to be on the safe side, I did not bring him to playgroup, which he cheered out loud. Just wonder why did he hate going to playgroup so much?
So instead of going to the playgroup, i told him, 今天我们去玩泥沙，明天去豆豆班，好吗？
好！that's what he said. OK, wait till tomorrow and see whether he 兑现承诺。
So off we went to the sandplay at the fitness area at Lower Seletar. He was so happy and cheerful. So much different from himself when we go to the PG. I thought he should have fun at the PG since there's so much activities like singing, dancing and story telling?
Anyway, if tonight fever doesnt come back, i guess he has fully recovered, battling off the virus! Am glad that I got over the challenge , as it was really quite challenging for gancheong mum like me to see his fever spiking over 39 and yet, praying hard that this little warrior will 坚持到底，战胜病菌。
小战士，加油哦！

Hard time going to playgroup
Yesterday was school holiday , so Shaun did not go to playgroup. His fever was gone for the whole day but came back at night. *again, strange* He was 38.2 c when he agreed to let me stuck the thermometre under his armpit. Fed him honey water before zz.
This morning, no fever. Brought his school uniform out and he started saying 不要。不要不要不要！！
So distract him by letting him watch the playgroup CD hoping that he will want to go. He laughed and giggled when he saw interesting class activities, again i said, ok, let's go to 豆豆班now, again, 不要不要不要！
Ok, decided to ignore him and let him play for a while. Brought out my cake mixer to play. Subsequently changed him, without objection, phew. Told him that we are going to playgroup with 妹妹next door. Agreed, so off we went.
Brought him to toilet first before going into class. He was still happy until I told him , ok , 跟妈妈说再见。Within seconds, eyes getting red, tears forming, and 不要 again. Few seconds later, 哇哇大哭起来了。Teacher shut the door ( very hard hearted but that's the way they do it ) Soon, his cry getting softer and stopped.
Well, today is only the 3rd day to class. Think he is still not used to not seeing me around him. Hope he will like the teacher and friends there soon.
I think his fever was due to him crying too long ( first day) in air cond room. The room was really freezing cold!
Tonight, I hope no more fever. As I really have no idea why his fever come and go??
