Swimming like a dolphin!

It is such a great relief to see that Noinoi is able to clear her mental block that she almost wanted to give it all up after 15 months of dutiful routine, water kicking with the swimboard, pool bouy and pushing the swimming pool wall.

We are rewarded with bursting joy when we learn that Noinoi could finally do her freestroke without aids. For first time in class, she's able to swivel her head smoothly, while coordinating her arms pulling smoothly like a little dolphin. Daddy used to say that she swims like a drowning shark, pushing her head out of the water, grasping for breath as if she's gonna chew someone's head off anytime!

This definitely calls for a little celebration which Mum and Dad are hoping to find some time during the term holiday to take us on a short retreat!



Nikki seems to be settling in well in school and also the new care arrangement. She can now wake up as late as she wants, plan and do things according to her own schedule in the morning before going to school.

Having said that, Nikki started her first term of school with some interesting encounters. One of them was the time when one of her classmates asked her for money after Nikki overheard that she told another friend that her daddy is very sad because he has no money. Some time later, the same girl gave Nikki a princess sticker and told her that she will give her more stickers each time Nikki can make her happy!
