leanne's best friends

 sophie bella

 

who is very much head strong like Leanne. the teachers told us that they could be the best of friends one minute and refused to play the next.

 

and gwen.

the three of them: Leanne, sophie and gwen have been forbidden to sit next to one another in class because they talk too much...

the completed tree

 no theme. just lots of fun picking up the different decorations that we like from the shops

 Leanne chose these stars

and this little wooden angel was bought from heals in London years ago in anticipation of the tree...

our very own christmas tree

we finally got our very own Christmas tree !!! for Christmas 2013 at hillview.

 the cheeky smile of Leanne

and a different smile from Leanne that we hardly see...

concert preparations

Leanne was all excited the night before and was ready to go to bed though it took her a while to fall asleep.

some still shots of her sing and dance routine.

 so pleased with the make-up on her face.

leanne's first concert performance

the year end concert at st joseph child care. this is the n2 performance. the children did both an English and Chinese performance. Leanne was really good at keeping mum when I asked her about it before and told me it was meant to be a surprise.

we all think she was the best dancer in class :-)

swimming

Leanne has always liked the pool and has started her swimming lessons for a few weeks now. she is now able to blow water bubbles with her nose, hold her head in the water for a short while, kick with the kick board. but I think her favourite is pretending to be a water ballerina.

 

 

 

things that leanne said during the sydney trip

The very first morning after her shower-

This is the coldest day on earth

The female voice on the GPS:

Mommy, that woman is very smart. She knows where to go.

When we were at the ski resort:

This is freezing cold…

As we are nearing the end of our trip:

This is Sydney earth, and we go back to Singapore earth

 

The night before we left:

Mommy, do you remember the rules of our house?

I sleep in my bed by myself and you cannot sit at the sleepy cushion for too long
