2 late owls every nights..

Xuan has been going to bed later and later into the night.

Xuan used to have my story time around 9.45pm to 10pm and by latest 10.30pm, lights will be out. Xuan will be dreamland by 10.45pm to 11pm after some tossing, turning and chit chatting with mummy. By the way, Xuan has been sleeping in my own bedroom since 25 months old.

In recent weeks, things have taken for a change. My story time is now around 10pm to 10.15pm after family time with didi, mummy and papa. Beside reading, Xuan wants more activities now. Xuan will have jigsaw puzzles, colouring time etc. Mummy has various themes periodically to entice Xuan’s attention. So far, Xuan has learnt about the different occupations, animals, places we frequent, action words, expressions, fruits and vegetables, .. etc.. According to mummy, she is going to introduce some memory games after she has prepared the materials. Mummy has read about some photographic memory games from another mummy's blog and find it interesting. Fun and yet able to train memory skill.


Engrossed in my puzzle

With so many activities in mind, Xuan has been stretching the story time span about 30 minutes to 1 hr. I sure know how to deploy my tactics by pleading hard and earnestly. Hahaha.. By then, it is usually already 11.30pm when mummy finally insisted on bed time. Xuan will eventually fall asleep close to 12am!!! Mummy is completely tire out. In any case, mummy and papa said that getting to bed so late is not healthy for me. Papa exclaimed that mummy is getting too soft on my plead. :p

On the other hand, mummy acknowledged that Xuan has grown up and naturally wants more times for reading and other activities. Mummy is glad that Xuan enjoys reading and is glad that her effort every night since Xuan was young has paid off. Mummy said that didi will join us when he is older.

However, mummy is going to gradually change Xuan’s sleeping pattern from this weekend cos Xuan is officially going to school next month. Mummy said that she is going to enforce bed time by latest 10.30pm so that Xuan will have sufficient sleep to wake up chirpy for class the next day. So all adjustments have to be made in days to come. 1st of all, story time will have to brought forward so that Xuan will have no excuse to keep stretching the time. Hehehe..

YES u heard it! Xuan is going school officially! More interesting update to come… 1st of all.. shopping time again.. school bag, new water bottle… hehehe..


Xuan went for a mini orientation and uniform fittings in my new school last week.
