All About Your Child

When you need a break, don’t reach out for a Kitkat, go get a Baby-Sitter Children-Sitter, be it Alive or Dead!

Today, I’m fortunate to have “THE ALIVE”:

My sis and her boyfriend brought the kids out for a couple of hours. The main aim was to allow the soon-to-be-4-year-old Binbin, choose his own birthday present. Those hours were precious and I’m so glad I accomplished lots of stuff, in and out of the house. Yippee!

Yesterday, I engaged “THE DEAD”:

The maximum commitment THE DEAD could give was ONE HOUR. Anyhow, better than nothing.

I haven’t been to IKEA for some time (till yesterday) and was pleasantly surprised by the changes made to the interior. Their ballroom has been converted to this:

And this is the story behind the new concept:

and the place urge you to JUMP in to pick the berries…

and so my boys did JUMP INto the pool of berries at the far end (framed them in blue)

chasing after BERRIES which tried to RUN AWAY from their CLUTCHES

then showing off their CATCH to their amused parents outside the glass panel

AN HOUR later, we found them sitting on the stairs watching their favorite Tom and Jerry through the projector screen (I framed it in the white box)

Reluctant to go, frowning a little as they picked up their slippers from their storage box and threw in their number-bibs…

Completely different from how they looked when they were waiting to enter this magical place An Hour ago (see below) *laugh*

Need a break? Go get a children-sitter, dead or alive… *laugh*

My routine  is a complete mess-up during School Holidays. I cannot do what I could on school days, like Blog-Hop! Ok ok, blame it on my lack of efficiency…*pout*

Sometimes parents have too high expectation on themselves, thus finding it a frustration thinking about how to keep the kids entertained during this period. Over the years I realize keeping it simple is what the kids what.

Finally, Keatkeat’s chicken pox scars aren’t as obvious, hence yesterday, we decided to head for the pool after our last visit 2 months ago!

Before we left the house……

Keatkeat: “Mommy, why are you not putting your swimming costume in the bag?”

Me: “Mommy is wearing ‘pampam’, so I am not swimming today.”

Keatkeat: “Take out the ‘pampam’ lah. OH NO NO NO!!! You cannot!!! The swimming pool will be red colour because of your blood!! I think you just sit there and look after our bags and play Papa’s handphone game…..”

Me: *laugh* “Yes, I will look after your bags and play Papa’s handphone game.”
