All About Your Child

My dad used to say this to me when I was young and now I say it to my kids too.
“If you are able to do a task on your own, do it and not depend on others.”

Kitkit wanted to wear a particular pair of shorts.
But it was still hanging on the bamboo.
There were many other shorts available, but he insisted on wearing that particular pair.

I was on the phone and I showed him my palm, telling him to wait for me to end the call first.
When I was off the line, I was pleasantly surprised to see Kitkit helping to keep the other clothes too, even though he had successfully brought down his own pair of shorts.

Well, he could have just take down his pair of shorts and leave the rest of the clothes on the bamboo.
But he did not.
He HELPED!!!

1st Surprise – He chose to bring down his shorts from the bamboo on his own and not depend on me.
2nd Surprise – He volunteered to keep the rest of the laundry and not being a self-centered boy.
Hooray!

Three Cheers for my 10 year old!
*clap clap clap*

“World Cup” seems to be the hot topic since last week, other than the chatter about the HOT WEATHER….

Its no different for this family of 4.

In fact, Allan and Kitkit decided to have a 2014 World Cup Betting Guessing competition.

Its the first time, I see Kitkit and Binbin so serious about this little fun they have with their Papa, that they sat down infront of the PC and did the following using PowerPoint without any adult’s help.

Binbin was the brain and Kitkit was the hand.

Kitkit did not get to learn PowerPoint in school, but Binbin did before the June School Holidays began.

Its PRETTY RARE for Kitkit to LISTEN/OBEY Binbin’s instructions/teachings WILLINGLY!

That sight is like a piece of rich dark chocolate in my mouth…………Mmmmm……..

Binbin knows himself very well.

He understands that he does not take defeat very well and he knows that he would be very stressed throughout the entire World Cup, if he were to be part of this.

Hence, this 2014 World Cup Guessing Game is just between Kitkit and Allan.

Though Kitkit knows that there will not be any prizes at the end of it all, he still feels that this last statement (above) is essential, .

“Its just for fun!” he exclaimed.

The Scores:

Their Papa is not as ‘fanciful‘ as his sons.

To him, details are the key to the game and the following was painstakingly done by him.

So far, based on first page, Kitkit won by a mere 1 point!

I wonder how would the score be like for the next page:~ (so far, Kitkit is still sitting on the ‘Winning Side’. *smile*)
