First Class

Today, Mama brought me to a music and movement class at Kindermusik at Tanglin Mall. It is a trial class. Mama wanted to give me some new stimulation other than just watching Hi-5 at home and I am getting bored with the playground downstairs.

Maybe cos I slept pretty late last night, I was a little tired even before I reached Tanglin Mall but I was pretty cooperative. Mama tried to have fun with me in the class but I may be a bit too young. From the video clip above, I was seated when it was actually a walk-about song.

Still, I was able to follow through the class most of the time. For instance, I was able to get the bells from the basket. Just that I did not quite comprehend what it meant to "get 2 bells for yourself and 2 for your Mummy". ;p

I was also very cooperative when it came to returning the musical instruments. Afterall, one of my favorite activity at home is to keep my toys by throwing them back to my playpen.

Mama remembered I returned the egg-shaped shakers to the basket and then held the edge of the basket with the teacher.

Halfway through the class, I actually wanted to leave but Mama managed to keep me in.

What I did not know was that, if I had been more insistent and made more noise, throw a tanturm, Mama would have left the class and brought me home for my nap. But that is also what Mama loves about me, my good-natured behaviour.

There was also a story time where the teacher took out a book and we children sat on a mat. I wasn't particularly engaged but remained quiet enough. Maybe I was really tired and Mama allowed me to rest my body against hers and so that kept me nicely behaved.

By the end of the class, I was really tired out and lied on the ground, refusing to get up. But I didn't throw any tantrum like a tired child would do. Want to know what I did instead? Watch the video below...

Seeing that I could still hold out for a while after we left the centre, Mama brought me to Mac Donald's for lunch but I hardly ate much. At Mac Donalds' Mama realised she had left my shoes at the centre and we went back promptly to get them before going home in a taxi.

I was so tired that I fell asleep on my way home in the taxi and slept at least 3 hours. I was still sleeping when Mama wrote this blog.. now she is going to take a short nap too....
