While doing this post, Mummy Moon wonders why there is not gifts for the coming newborn??!! Daddy forgets about the little one?? Must ask daddy later~~

Have taken some photos at the airport using my handphone but cannot download to computer (forget to bring along the connector) Share with you all next time yah! I have a photo of her first time travel by flight at Hubpages. If you want to see how she enjoyed her first flight, just click the post – Traveling safely with your child.

This time Baby Moon has encountered the air pressure and cause her ears painful 15 minutes before landed. Wow, you can imagine how loud she cried and luckily the flight landed very soon.

The first funny thing she made was at the airport. Yah, she always pronounce Barney as “Babi” and I have corrected her many times but still useless. In the airport, I just happened to see a big toy – Barney and was so excited to show her the big toy. And guess what, she said, “Babi”! Oh No! She shouldn’t say that word in front of the Malay shopkeepers. Luckily they were not angry but laughed at her. Heehee..

Baby Moon enjoyed her new environment and forgot about her favourite toys – Barney and Doraemon for the first two days. BUT.. she remembered and missed her toys friends since third day and we have to get her a new Doraemon. See, this is her new Doraemon and Mummy Moon’s toys.

Baby Moon’s messages to:

Daddy: Hello daddy, I miss you only when mummy reminds me. I’m so busy. Grandpa drives me to market early in the morning and we have many places to go even in the afternoon or night time. I don’t need to walk and take train but can sit comfortly inside the car. Heheee.. The only thing is the weather is very hot here and no air-con.

Jiu Jiu (Uncle): Hello Jiu Jiu, I didn’t miss you because here got lots of Jiu Jiu (Uncles). They plays with me and I’m happy playing with them. I want them to feed me and also help to dress me up after shower. They watch VCD with me and also play ball with me.

Ah Yi (Aunty): Hi Ah Yi, I miss you sometimes but here also got elder Ah Yi (Aunty) to talk with me. Although she is not so funny like you but she also sayang me a lot. She gave me Doraemon stickers and toys to play. You must be very lonely without me at home! Haha..

Don’t miss me too much and I will be back very soon..

I don’t know how to play piano and therefore I don’t know how to teach Baby Moon. Just want to show Baby Moon some songs, I ask my friend to teach me and give me some piano composition. Of course, those are the simplest songs and I manage to play it.

I’m wondering piano lessons help in child development and therefore I do some search. I found a post that listed the Reasons Why Piano Lessons May Be Critical To Your Child’s Success. Basically there are six main reasons and here’s the Points inside the post:

1. Piano lessons may help your child develop thinking skills
2. Piano lessons help with focus and concentration
3. Piano lessons help to build confidence
4. Piano lessons help your child overcome shyness
5. Piano lessons help to develop memorization skills
6. Piano lessons can be a lifelong asset to your child

Also, I found the 33 Tips for becoming a great piano player!

“There are at least 33 elements that contribute to becoming a good pianist,” says Duane Shinn, pianist and owner of Keyboard Workshop in Medford, Oregon. “There are probably more, but without these 33 principles a pianist cannot hope to rise to the level of his ability.”

Here are the few elements and if you would like to read all the 33 elements, you could go to their page – 33 Tips For Becoming a Great Piano Player!

1. Hand & Body Position — Should you look down at your hands? How to use “eye flips”
2. The key to productive practice — Spaced repetition
3. Attitude — how it affects your learning
4. How & when to pedal. Using explosive dynamics
5. Exposure: why it’s critically important

This is just a piano set for Baby Moon and I’m still not sure whether will send her for piano lessons in future.

Their names are Bei Bei, Jing Jing, Huan Huan, Ying Ying, Ni Ni which means BeiJing Welcome You!

Shun Ping Jie Jie bought me the toys also. Dancing Donkey and Panda!

You’re always very special
And you should know today
That you are wished the nicest things
That life can bring your way

Like warm and loving wishes
And happiness and cheer
And everything you need to start
Another happy year

Happy Birthday to you!

Baby Moon

She’s a little bit of sunshine
She’s a smile to light our days
She will steal our hearts and
Keep them with her warm endearing ways
She’s our precious little daughter
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill our years with laughter
And our lives with lots of love.

Her Birthday Gifts

Story reader is a very cool game, it can be played in three ways:
1. Educational Video Games - I can access fun learning games featured on the last spread of each book. They also included the controller which is perfectly sized for my little hands and promotes hand-eye coordination as well as fine motor skills.

2. Animated stories – wow, the stories come life on TV! When I turn the pages of the book, the animation of the book come life on TV! Spoken words are highlighted on the screen, and characters interact. Daddy says the animated story mode is great for developing and enhancing word recognition skills.

3. Magically read the story – The story reader will read the story aloud as I turn the page! It’s magic because it always knows what page it’s on and only reads the page. I can bring it along when travel in the car or visit to my grandparents.

I’m so happy when daddy and mummy teach me how to play my new game and they help to connect to my big big TV!
Ok, I want to play with my story reader. Bye bye!

These are the benefits of kid jigsaw puzzle that my mummy told me:

• develops logical thinking
• develops shape/size recognition and matching ability
• develops preseverance attitude
• enhances social skills
• enhances spatial relation skills
• improves hands-eye coordination

I enjoy the game very much and this is one of my daily activities.

I’m so generous to share my bed with them. See.. I hug hug them like my Mummy Moon hug hug me.. Hehee..
