Photoboook for Bosco

I'm currently doing Bosco First Year photobook. Last week, I was in the midst of updating Bosco photos, using Chloe's template. And when I opened up the file to resume today.. I was stunned by how similar they actually look like. Can you point out for me, which photos belong to Chloe? and which ones have been updated to Bosco??

Big Hearts

Our bedtime closing lines tonight...

Me: "There are Papa, Chloe and Bosco inside Mama's heart." (while hand posing a heart shape, in front of the chest)

Chloe mimicked very quickly, posing the same hand sign: "There are Papa, Mama, Bosco and Nana jiejie in mine!"

Bosco took me by surprise by catching up quickly as well: "Have Mama, Have Papa, JieJie, Na Jie, hmmmm NaiNai (granny!)." what a heartthrob he is, although his hands look more like a gongxi hand sign hahaha

This then sparked the creativity in Chloe and requesting for a retake: "There are Papa, Mama, Bosco, Nana jiejie, YeYe, NaiNai, Big ahbo, Small ahbo, Kelly jiejie, GongGong, PoPo, HuiZi jiejie, Jiu Jiu, Jiu Mu, Alvin didi...." and the list go on.

And when we hugged, we felt our hearts are as one...

Good night and sweet dreams, peeps!

Wordplay

Recent chat with the mummies friends has raised the concern on how much can a K1 student understand / read / write / spell at this age.

This was feedback from Chloe's teacher on her performance for the first 6 months in K1:

I see her ability to recognise and read several words, or her attempt to read a book by herself. But her ability to spell and write those words are minimal.

With the spelling words guideline shared by Emily, Chloe and I started to engage spelling activities yesterday.

It was difficult in the beginning as little girl refused to stay focus and practise her writing. With lots of encouragement and praises, she picked up and moved on confidently. She even initiated another spelling exercise while I was having my breakfast this morning.

This is a good sign. I will spend more time doing more practices with her. Jia you to both of us!!!
