All About Your Child

That’s just sound awfully wrong!

But it seems to explain my case – what I managed to do with the little money I got from my last bazaar.

Take a look at Allan and my wardrobe.

Binbin sleeps right in-front of it every night and noon (he takes naps too)

Nothing unusual?

Let’s take a CLOSER LOOK…

We used carpet-tape to ‘secure’ the sides and the corners of the wardrobe, but can you see that the tape couldn’t really hold it together?

Can you see the piece of wood, ‘going away’ from the tape, between the wardrobe and the wall?

The interior has already gave way.

The back of the wardrobe and the base is about 5cm apart.

It has been in this condition for years now…

Allan and I often sleep with the feeling that we may be woken up in the middle of the night when the wardrobe decides to give-up-its-life and brings my little Binbin along with it to its’ grave.

Worried were we…but we did nothing…we are just to busy clearing all the interest from the debts and bills and food and pure basic living that we had postpone it till now…

Yes, go ahead and label us as bad parents. I’m not going to fight my case, ‘cos I know its a losing battle for us.

But with the little money I got from my last bazaar, I bought the new wardrobe, to prevent the worst nightmare from happening.

I could strike off another item from my if-I-have-extra-money-after-paying-the-usual-I-would-buy-this list of things.

*sigh* We are REALLY terrible parents…Thank God for keeping Binbin safe for so long under such danger….its like a time bomb, you never know WHEN the wardrobe will decide to end its life…but the nightmare is over now…finally!

It’s handicraft time.

We are going to be Olympic Champions.

(Yes I know Olympic has ended some time ago, but never too late to make their own medals.)

You will need All of these.

Cardboard.

Marker.

Round Container.

Scissors.

Paint.

Paint Brush.

Ribbon.

Scotch Tape.

1st -Put the cardboard on the table.

Use the base of the round container as a guide.

Use the marker to draw 3 circles on the cardboard.

Hold down the round container well so that it doesn’t ‘run’.

This needs some skill, but I think Binbin did quite well.

The blue shirt is Binbin.

Then cut out all the 3 circles.

You will need stronger scissors because cutting cardboard is more difficult than cutting paper.

If you really cannot do it.

Get Mommy or Daddy to help.

Their hand and finger muscles are more developed.

Paint each circle with different colours.

We chose yellow for 1st.

Then pink for 2nd.

And blue for 3rd.

You can choose any colour you like.

But remember try not to choose dark colours, ‘cos it would be hard to see the words when it’s written on it.

Write ‘1st’, ‘2nd’ and ‘3rd’ separately on the 3 circles.

Make sure that the marker you use is of good quality.

Not many markers can write on paint.

Try to write the words in the middle of the circle.

This is the time to ‘test’ your ‘estimation-judgment’.

Then grab the roll of ribbons.

Mommy loves to wrap presents and do handicrafts.

So she has lots of ribbons and stuff.

We are lucky to be able to get Gold ribbon for our medals.

Which make it look really nice as it reflects the light.

It glows.

*smile*

Unroll the ribbon over your neck to measure the length. Stop around the tummy area, so that the loop is long enough to go through the head.

Turn the circle over.

Stick the ribbon onto the circle.

TAKE NOTE:

Make sure that the word (i.e. 1st/2nd/3rd) should be facing ‘upwards’ when its hung on the neck,before sticking the ribbon down.

If you stick it down blindly, then you may be hanging the medal with the words upside-down. *laugh*

And here are the winners!
