Working with Jethro Wise Lee

I did almost exactly the same with Jethro. He started watching baby signs at 4 months. He picked up phonics at 2 yrs and learn to spell at 3. He is adventurous, he will try any food we ask him to. He was in the pool at 2 months, he loves the water, cold water. Before 2yrs old, we just dunk him in water, we will sing "humpty dumpty sat on the wall, humpty dumpty had a greattttt....fall" and he will push himself in the water, head fully submerged. At 3, he is playing in the adult pool.

I always knew he will do more than fine in school, i didn't have the " need to home school" him feel. Indeed he is a good student, very attentive and his teachers loves him. But the sad thing is he will say" aunt Pauline taught me, mummy did not teach me." Ouch!

He too was watching " meet the sight words", but he cant seems to remember the words, then i realised maybe he is not a visual learner like Ranen, he could be a audio learner.

Jethro has a total different personality. He is sweet spirit , generous and obedience. But when he is correct he can be very strong. He knows his boundary, if we correctly him wrongly, he will let us know by sulking. He used to be so strong, he will refuse to apologise when was his fault. After breaking his will, he is much tender now. He loves Ranen very much, always give in to him and serving him when was told. He is a hugger.

Working with Prince Ranen Lee

I started sitting Ranen in front of the television at 4 months, he was watching Baby signs.  I know babies are not suppose to watch so young. But there was nothing much i could do with him when i am doing house work. When his 10th month came, we took him down stairs, he saw a dog and he tapped his lap. Then i knew he did learn from the DVD. I noticed he will sign the next scene, i reckon he have a great memory. We had no issue with him in his toddler years, he was a happy chap, nothing kept him down for long. We tried baby can read, he very quickly pick up words, but i was inconsistent to show him daily.

Basically he can read before 4 yrs old. He was learning numbers from Sesame street with Ernie, and recognising pattern with Bert and phonics with LeapFrog. I was watching with him all these time. I picked up phonics from Leapfrog too.

He loves puzzles, he was such an active boy, but puzzles can sit him down for a long time. We did lots of things together, i taught him how to do up the corners of the puzzles first, then the sides then fill in the missing in the middle. We knead play-do to strengthen his pincer grip, we sang, make up songs, painted, taught him colours and mixing into secondary colours. Read a lot of God's word to him.

He is such a clever child, he grasp concept very fast. A funny concept - we used to sing to him " this little piggy" when a friend of my wiggles her fingers and ask him " what is this?" he answered," pigs".  he remember all the bible stories i told him. One of the early games we played was bible story Q&A. Due to his memory power, he remember all the words i scolded him too.

He is K2 next year, i still feel he should be taught by us personally. He thrive with one to one training. He is currently ahead in K2 works, we like to train him in obedience and social aspect.

Forgotten Blog

Dusted and found my blog.

Wow been many years since i wrote this, is such a in thing now. Just a super duper quick update so i can move on from here.

In 2009, i had Jethro he is a plumpish baby, 3.2kg. He is such a textbook baby, on time and very obedient. He was mainly taken care by Derrick so he is such a daddy boy.

In 2012, God bless us with our third handsome boy, Asher Noah. He is so precious to us and his brothers.

I am reconsidering home school since i last left it on the shelve 5 yrs ago. That's how i found out i actually have an account w blogger. I wanted a space to pen down all my work with my boys, hence it is a wonderful place for me to start from here.

Conversation with my Creator.

Prayer today for depression.
I went out for ministry time, convince myself that i will not cry, not pray and not expect all the emotional roller coaster. I just want Jesus to heal me of my thought life and i really wanted the Holy spirit to live out from inside of me to over take my whole being. I stood there not thinking not praying. For a long time i waited, everyone ard me was prayed for but me.

Ps Dan came and lay his hands and prayed, he told me that my past experience with churches and leadership are weighing me down etc etc... He continue to tell me that he saw a vision and he will speak from my destiny. He saw me holding my bible and sharing teaching the word of God. Though all these are somewhat my dreams but is long suppress.

I did not cry much as i told myself not to be emotional,i often think too much at ministry time that i miss God. so i will just wait upon the lord. Anyway, Ps Dan know my past so for him to said those are not suprising to me.

Shortly, Lilian came and prayed for me. Neither did she ask what i prayer did i came up for, she just pray...Finally she stop and ask me what are the desire i ask the LOrd? All of the sudden my tears duct burst, i recalled many many many many many things i want from the lord, to share the gospel to many, if Christ die for all, all men have the rights to hear the gospel so his blood will not shed in vain. I want to live intimately with God, knowing his heart beat, living the glorious life, etc etc.....

I forgotten all abt them. She continue to comfirm with me what she felt, she saw a stopper being unplug by God and all the disappointment and sense of lost Hope are being drained away from me...after she walked away, i stood there and listen to God speak to me,
