- 3 Mar 2012: 1st time using the toilet bowl in the shopping mall to pee. Luckily the Leapschool house provides a potty seat in the cubicle and she can sit more steadily on the toilet bowl. No more afraid of the heights Le. So we bought a portable potty seat for her in the same day such that she can continue to be diaper-free whenever we r outside! It's a smooth progressive transition for her & am so happy with her achievement!
- 8 Mar 2012: Kayla's first time poo poo in the toilet bowl!
- 2 March 2012: Our first Parent-Teacher Meeting session
Her form teacher, Teacher Shirley, a very dedicated & friendly teacher, shared many of the stories in class & Kayla's progress in school. She even prepared a portfolio of some of her art work & photos of her in class for us to see her few activities in class. Didn't expect to have a portfolio of her but it's good so that we can see her developments over time.
Overall she is deemed to be a more matured kid who is quiet in class but can speak pretty well when she wants to. She will raise questions to the teacher but will seldom interact with her classmates (apparently kids at this age dun really talk to each other) However she can be very strong willed in character & once she refused to listen to teacher's instructions to lie down her head on the table while waiting for her classmates to finish eating. The teacher "punished" her by not letting her play together with her classmates, and had to wait. In the end she understood the implications of her not listening to instructions after the teacher explained to her & promised to listen from next day onwards, which she really did!
On the crafts work side, I thought she would be scared to touch glue, paint, sand etc which she didn't! Glad that she is not a "scary cat" in school!
Kayla's art pieces in Term 1 of school:

: Library visit @ Compass Point
- Seldom bring Kayla to libraries (which we should have) and happened to be at Compass Point for dinner so decided to pop by the library at the mall. Kayla started to pick her own books and find a table to read her books! She even choose books for us to read, and not interfere with her own reading.
