All About Your Child

For those of you who didn’t read my comments on yesterday post, it was a Praying Mantis, 3/4 the size of my hand about 12cm long and today we found this super fly (that’s Binbin’s hand at the background)…. on the kitchen floor.

The 2 boys were chasing the super fly till (I think) it got exhausted and rested on the floor. That’s how I could manage to get a shot of it. Poor Fly…tortured by 2 crazy kids. Ok, enough of all these creepy crawlers or flyers.

——————————————————————————–

This morning, something unusual happened between the boys. Instead of fighting not to brush his teeth first, they were discussing who should brush first….hummm…

Keatkeat (K): “I brush first then you can see how to brush your teeth mah…”

Binbin (B): “I know already. I big boy already, you know? I know how to brush my ownself.”

K: “Ai ya, I show you, gor-gor (big brother) got go school, the nurse in school tell me how to brush properly already.”

Surprisingly the always-eager-to-win spirit in Binbin quieten down and let his brother be the teacher. All mommies who have more than 1 kid knows how often siblings fight, they could fight over the least imaginable thing, always competitive, so this is a rare sight. I ran to grab my camera, while Keatkeat was brushing his teeth.

When I was back, all ready with my small digital camera, I was ready to capture one of the most harmonious moment (I think) between the 2 boys. I wished to video it down but the video effect of my digital camera is horrible, so I could only take shots. What a shame!

 K: “First, you open the toothpaste like this…”

 K: “Come…give me your toothbrush…”

 K: “Take. Be careful. The toothpaste may drop….”

 K: “Now, brush your teeth like what gor-gor did….”

 That’s Keatkeat’s gesture to my question, “So did Binbin do a good job?”

We were at Bishan Junction 8 looking at the exhibits of garden creatures.

Though they make my hair stand, especially the gigantic hairy spider and the huge praying mantis, but these crawlies definitely caught the attention of the kids.

We saw similar exhibits at IMM a few days ago too.

There was also an activity area for the kids, either to create insect handicraft or play with 3D insect puzzles.

There were showcases of all types of garden creatures, from worms to beetles to beautiful butterflies in small glass showcases, but the people in charge don’t allow me to take photograph of them….hmmmm…I wonder why…

That’s why I went to the second floor and took photos of the entire roadshow from top-view. (Left to Right) Activity Area. Gigantic Hairy Spider and Huge Praying Mantis.

When we got home, we found a peeping Tom in our bathroom. Can’t see him? Ya, that is why I said he was attempting to peep us bathing. He was camouflaging! Let’s take a closer look.

It was on my towel!!!

If my luck is this good! I can’t imagine if I had went to a reptile exhibition instead of a Garden Crawlies Exhibition! LOL!
