Piggy Piggy Bank

We decided to culture Shannon on saving and money management. During our Sunday brunch, we went to Compass Point to shop for Shannon's cousin Kris birthday present which was on Monday. Since we are there we also look for a suitable piggy bank for Shannon to start saving.

The criteria of the piggy bank would be the following:

1) To Shannon's liking

2) Translucent (Shannon can see her money grow physically)

3) Medium size

Shannon's Piggy Piggy Bank

We will be giving Shannon 50 cents per day for her to save into her piggy bank. When the piggy bank is full, the money will banked into her account unless she needs to buy something then she'll have to take from her savings. Hope it will culture her saving and money management skills.

Shannon accidentally drop her piggy bank last night and it crack opened at the joint. Will need to buy superglue to stick the 2 halves back before it splits into two.

Events that Occur this month....

1) As decided during the last gathering with Sharon's secondary school friend and her family, we brought our kids to Kidz Amaze in Jurong Safra on 10/08/09. The place is a indoor 3 storey playground with obstacles, slides, ball pool, etc.

The trip was fun with the kids climbing up and down. We were feeling really tired at the end of the day. The obstacles in the maze were quite small and tight as compared to eXplorerKidz in Downtown East. The amzing thing was Shannon was daring enough to take the yellow tube slide with me. The enclosed and fast slide was on the 3rd storey all the way down to the 1st storey.

After all the climbing we went for Jack's place for lunch and bid goodbye to go home for afternoon nap. Hahaha.

Shannon started going down by sitting on the cushion one by one. She became more daring after a few tries and started walking down fast.

2) After a day at Kidz Amaze, we brought Shannon for the 2nd movie "Up" on 11/08/09 in Yishun 10. This time we decided to go for the normal version instead of 3D. Personally I feel tha the cartoon is more suitable for adults other than the cute bird and dogs. Shannon got bored halfway through the movie and started going up and down the aisle. Overall she still enjoy the movie. Let's wait for the next cartoon movie.

Blog Been Diverted.

Due to some problem with the Winx club theme, our blog had been diverted to another website. Manage to change the theme back to the normal but need to change the side bar to previous format.

That will need time since I am not a html expert. Nevertheless we will still update our blog while fixing the side bar.

Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009

We decide to bring Shannon to the Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009 on 11 September at Singapore Indoor Stadium. She has been requesting to watch the show whenever the advertisement is broadcast on the TV. Seems like kids really know how to ask and shall receive and advertister really know how to sell. The last time she went for such show was the Disney on Ice last year. She had an enjoyable time then. We bought the tickets early hoping to get seats with a better view. In the end miss the discount for National Day where tickets were selling at $44/each.

Think of it she got quite a lot of characters/shows that she like from Dora the Explorer, Hi-5, Winx Club, Barney & Friends, Care Bears, Mickey Mouse & Friends, etc. Hope she will enjoy the show.
