All About Your Child

Back-Dated Post: 15th April 2012

Every year, somehow I would missed posting my Nephew’s Birthday. Often doing back-dated post. This year too! *eyes rolled*

Well, maybe my heart is not with him or rather its the other way round. *laugh* For me, liking him did not come easy, even though I favour boys more than girls.

He is very demanding and likes to make a mountain out of a molehill, hence often causing every other kid, who is near to him, to get a scolding. In the end, no one likes to play with him except my friendly-to-all-Binbin.

W.D. loves to fake-cry and gets his two elder sisters into trouble. *pout*

Being cared by so many different people at the same time with different styles, explains why he is what he is today. There are no ‘regular‘ guidelines for him to follow because someone’s “Yes” could be another’s care-taker’s “No”. How confusing can it be for the child, right?

*sigh*

Since young, Allan and I are the 6 children’s playmates on every Sunday. However, I would shun away from W.D. as much as possible because, to me, he is a time bomb, until recently….

W.D. and his Mummy

Yes, over the recent weeks or maybe months, he started to come to me very often, asking me kiddy questions and updating me his latest wishlist.

Today, he was clinging to me like a koala bear! Sat on my lap and refused to get up for a really long time!

I could not explain why, but somehow, I liked it. *laugh* It was then, that I realised, I have started to like this boy.

I sat him closer to my body, smelled his hair and kissed his head. Hey! He liked it as he gave a broad smile when I did all of that. *grin*

Yes, for the first time, I realised I am starting to feel ‘OK’ with this nephew of mine.

Happy 5th Birthday Nephew W.D.!

Happy 5th Birthday Nephew!

*scream* Time did not fly ever since I had moved to my temporary home, it ZOOMED like a Rocket!!! So much time had been spent on traveling to and fro from school and for the nitty gritty preparation we are making before we start to find our new house. Guessed I had no choice but to re-adjust the amount of time I spend in front of my PC. *sob*

Alright, so who was 1st Runner Up?

And for what type of Competition?

It was KeatKeat!!!

Though he only passed by 7 marks for his latest CA for his Chinese, which I can perfectly understand, given the standard of his Mother’s Chinese, he came in SECOND for this Chinese Draw and Guess Competition for the whole Primary 3 level.

His Chinese teacher gave him a card at a time with Chinese Words written on it. He needs to recognise the word and draw out the ‘thing‘ for the top Chinese Student in his level to guess and this top student will need to write out his guess in Chinese Word and it must match the Chinese Word written on the teacher’s card.

Among the top five artists in his level, he was the only one who recognised the Chinese word ‘Can -Guan’ ?visit) and he drew people at the Zoo. One of the 4 artists could not recognise the word, the other three drew restaurants. So he was the only one who scored a point for that round. Whoo-Hoo! *clap clap clap*

Yes, the Mother’s written chinese sucks and so does her elder son, but hey! nonetheless, he still managed to be the First Runner-Up for a Competition that is done in Chinese. *Super Grin*

Yeah! *Big Round of Applause*
