Parents Teachers Meeting for Jerry.
Parents teachers meeting or teachers parents meeting? I can never ever remember which is which… but i guess it doesnt matter anyway. You guys know what i am talking about right?
Towards the very end of last year.. Der & me went for our second PTM.
Well, what we heard isnt surprising – he has a very comprehensive vocabulary for his age, can understand and speak most of what the teachers and everyone else is saying, but have a issue with following instructions (HA!) and routines.
his gross and fine motor skills are shining through as well and he loves to play with wooden blocks and puzzles , but i cannot help but note that there this liner in the report that says – Child relaxes body in quiet sedentary situations – and it was marked rarely. HAHA. That’s my super active kid for you.
he’s not toilet trained yet, and i think we have to start doing it soon. Honestly, we tried and i guess there is the issue of inconsistency and recently, whenever we tried it.. he wants to wear his diapers back! Urgh. There are still some success occasions where i let him wear his fire truck underpants (fire trucks/engines are his favourite things now) and he wears them happily. He doesnt leak pee and is able to control his bladder to pee on demand, but we need to work on his obsession with wearing diapers. heh.
In the anecdotal record that was provided to us, there was the above picture of Jerry building the above structure using mega blocks, and pushed it around the school exclaiming that its a fire truck to everyone, complete with making the sounds of the siren.
So i guess all its good.. except we need to work on routines and toilet training.
P.s. I find his self portrait above hilarious! I can’t help but keep laughing about it. he’s looks so wide-eyed and looking quite like an elf with his ears pointing out, and his hair… makes him look as though he has a BIG HEAD. tickles me to no end. The husband actually likes it! A LOT! Hmm…..
P.s. if you are reading this on the 12 Jan (Sun), just a shout out that my coach bag giveaway is ending at midnight! Do pop over and take part if you are keen.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

I’m not making any progress with Blake’s toilet-training either. But his teachers all say still early, can wait, so I’m waiting for when they really start, then I’ll continue at home. Otherwise, very waste effort for me, since he spends most of his time in school. Haha!

Jerry’s school is on the contrary feeling like we are late in starting him in this area. A lot of his classmates can go toilet themselves and all.. so I do really feel the pressure. He actually can control his bladder but because we are so busy with everything else all the time that we never enforce the no diaper routine..
