Bed Dressing


ZY was having his imagination play alone by himself. Noticed he was lying down on floor with the cushion-pillow, covering with his blanket. Later, I founded these on floor, nicely arranged and folded blanket.
He has been helping me in bed dressing, tidy and fold blanket after he wakes up in the morning. So, this is the result.


Why all mummies dress up?

Television was showing Fashion Catwalk Show. ZY asked "Why all mummies dressed up."
"It is a fashion show. They are models. They are doing catwalk for the pretty dress."
And he accepted the answer.

Song for botany theme

1. Preschool Education
8.

I am a lonely little petunia by Arthur Godfrey

This is a fantastic song.

Back in school teaching time, children love to hear me singing this song, they even requested me to sing the song and enjoyed especially the part " woo hoo, woo hoo," with hand rubbing eye showing crying.

I have been singing this song again these few days to ZuYan as the theme in his school for this term is Botany.

I was delighted when I found this. I love love all these classic all time children song sang by adult.





GK Organics farm part II - Growing scallion

ZuYan's scallion after two weeks.

We have transfer the scallion from its' own planting bag into this pot. I will use it in my cooking, and hopefully to maintain the plant's life as long as possible.

Taking about scallion, it was mentioned during the visit that these scallion contain an enzyme to help children's growth, so I did a search.

The scallion also known as spring onion, salad onion, onion sticks or green onion in many countries, is an edible plant of the genus Allium. It helps treat common cold, fights against fungal and bacterial infections. It also considered to act as a metabolic stimulant.
