Hyzyd's Learning Style

0 comments
What's your kids' learning style? Is he a visual learner, an auditory learner or a kinesthetic learner?

Imagine you're reading aloud from a book with the repeated refrain "and the rabbit went hop,hop, hop." Does your child:

  • Come up close, perhaps insisting on being your lap, to see the pictures? This is a sign of visual learner.
  • Mimic the words of the refrain or interrupt to talk about the story? This is a sign of an auditory learner.
  • Move around and do what the refrain says- hop, hop, hop? This is a sign of a kinesthetic learner.

My Hyzyd  really loves reading. Reading is what can keep him away from Ipad. Last night we read about the Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton. First he sat on my lap and we're having fun pointing on the pictures and narrating him what each animal did. Every now and then he interrupted me with questions like "What's the horse doing, mom?" or sometimes mimicking my answer " oh twirling ". On the second round of reading, he got up , did the action words and invited me to do the action words with him! It's very tiring with all our twirling, prancing, dancing and strutting. We sure did have fun and end up sleeping so deeply and so peacefully. So, can you tell me what's my Hyzyd's learning style?

Hot Bath

0 comments
Hyzyd and I usually have our hot bath an hour after we arrived from school. Hyzyd needs it because he's all greasy and smells sweat after school. For me, it's really a relaxing and comfortable bath after a hard day at work. How I wish we have our own hot tub with hot tub cover in our home. We can indulge ourselves in the warm water for a few minutes or stay inside even as long as a few hours on weekends. This is the luxury of owning your very own hot tub.

Have you tried taking hot bath in the evening? Try it for a good night sleep for you and for your tot. A hot bath is recommended about two hours before bedtime if you are suffering from insomnia, but you should never soak in a hot bath for more than fifteen minutes at a time.

Chinese New Year 2012

0 comments
Holidays for us means household chores then snuggle in bed for the whole day munching cookies while watching movies. In other words, it's our time of the year to be inactive...to be sluggish.We hate going outside and roam the city even on special occassions like the recent Chinese New Year. If I had not forcefully drag myself to witness the event (for the sake of my sis and son), we would have missed the beautiful decors and the dragon dancing. We'll we watched the dragon dancing from a distance but we missed snapping photos with it. No regrets anyway...there's always another time.

We only stayed for less than an hour in the heart of Hatyai City. After snapping photos for souvenir here and there, we headed home. No need to eat outside coz we already ate our dinner as early as 5:00 PM. Hyzyd was also cranky at that time because later on we noticed that he got sore eyes!

0 comments
Every week, Hyzyd's class has art activity and the teacher's going to post their work on the door for display and for parent's to see.

Hyzyd's first art is a flower drawn just by using red watercolor.


The second one is butterfly using red watercolor which I haven't had the chance of snapping a photo yet. I wonder where did I place it?..tsk..tsk..tsk...

and his latest artwork is this New Year's greeting card. I love how the 3-year-old learners manage to make this artsy one for their parents!
