All About Your Child

It was good news one after another since morning. So I was in a happy mood when I went over to my in-laws’ place, only to be splashed with a bowl of cold water when I realised that ZY is still down with fever.

And when this little girl is sick, my oh my, her behaviour can be rather extreme. Not going to go into details, in case she ‘scolds‘ me for embarrassing her. She is one of my faithful readers. *wink*

Its weird, when my dear niece was so sick, yet everyone else in the 4 walls were high spirited. The trios, M.Y. + Keatkeat + Binbin, who are just one year apart from each other had silly fun chasing and teasing the youngest W.D.

My MIL was smiley the whole time today!!! Something quite rare. *giggle*

And me? I had an awesome time fulfilling the old folks’ wish of having another lantern to decorate their house. Last year I made this:

And TODAY, I made this:

If you have the same wish as Blessed mom last year, then do not miss my next post, which I will be showing the steps in making the lantern. *wink*

Since some of you wanted to know why I had to go through my main door 8 times a day, I thought I might as well do a post about my schedule when its ‘school-day’ for my boys.

7.15am: Wake BinBin up
8am: Bring Binbin to school (1st Time pass through my door)
8.10am: Return Home (2nd Time)
10am: Wake Keatkeat up
12pm: Fetch Binbin from School (3rd Time)

Right after which, we have to bring Keatkeat to school immediately. If Binbin’s teacher decides to dilly dally on a particular day, then we would be ‘running‘ to Keatkeat’s school.

Thereafter, Have lunch with Binbin and if there are errands to run, we would usually reach home at about 3-4pm

4pm: Return home with Binbin (4th Time)
5.45pm: Leave house to fetch Keatkeat (5th Time)
6.25pm: Return home with boys (6th Time)
Boys get to play for awhile before Keatkeat gets down to his homework and spelling and ‘tingxie’ (Chinese Spelling).
8pm: Out for Dinner (7th Time) Anytime earlier than that, my boys will have ‘problem‘ eating their dinner. Either they cannot finish or they would be eating at a damn slow speed. To prevent ‘nagging‘ from parents and ‘stressing‘ the boys up. Our dinner is usually at 8pm.

9+pm: Return home. (8th Time)
Complete unfinished homework. As to what time they sleep would depend on what time Keatkeat finishes his work.

Because I believe that the thing just before they migrate to their dreamland should be something they enjoy and considered fun in their vocabulary. So we do let them play (with/without us) for a while, even if its already 11pm, before we wish them “Good Night”.
