A wonderful evening...

Wondering why my evening so special??

1. For the first time ever, my 2 girls are serious in doing their so called ‘homework’.

This is the 4th month going to 5th month since my Xuan Xuan first joining pre-school. Every time when I asked her what she learnt from school, she always told me that she can’t remember or she will give me a blank look. Maybe she is too young to describe the happening in school or simply there isn’t any things learn or she already knows / advance on what the teacher taught her. For the best of a mother’s wish, I just hope that it is the last reason that she already knows the subject well and that’s why there isn’t any new thing learnt from school.

After reading some of your posts, I strongly feel that informal education from home is much more important in developing my children. Even though I’m late in starting my girls with formal A, B, C but I think is better than never, right?

All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy, in my case is like All play and too little work make Xuan & Wen a lazy girl. I’m not exaggerating. It has been many many times I try to start Xuan Xuan with some simple writing, she always has excuses, “I’m tired”, “Tomorrow lah”, “ I want to do something else” etc etc ….
Now you know why yesterday is so special to me, because she managed to finish the whole page.

Have a look!

You may think is simple but to me, is already a great achievement! Sometimes I wonder and I worry that I might have set an expectation which is below average and this in turn might indirectly slow down Xuan’s learning curve (Because too lay back). I don’t know, perhaps you might want to share with me, what should a 4yo kid mastering at. Reading simple words instead of A-Z? Writing A-Z capital and small letters? Number from 1-10 & able to master the writing as well?

This is how my Xuan Xuan serious about doing her 'home work'.

2. I’m very, extremely, exceptionally, remarkably, amazingly (or any other words that you can think of) proud of my Wen Wen’s masterpiece.
Not to say this is the first time she’s holding color pencils but this is the first time ever she’s able to color so much of a picture. Normally she will only color a small patch and that’s consider done to her, as she always complaint that she’s tire. Maybe she is not ready to hold pencil? I don’t know. Wen Wen is almost 2 1/2 yo.
Have a look at how serious she is creating her masterpiece…

A closer look perhaps…


This is the final version
that makes me feel like I’m floating in the air flapping my wings and flying like an angel. (Please allow me to dream & drunk with my Wen Wen’s achievement.) Am I tooo easy to be happy?

When Xuan Xuan was 3 years old she produced
I was already like WAO!!! Wen Wen is only 2 1/2, of cause I feel like I can fly without wings lah!

3. I love to see intimate and attached relationship between daddy & the girls.
After hard work (even though is nothing hard to us), my 2 girls are now having some fun with their daddy…
Guess what there are doing??
Yup! Yup! Yup! They are playing computer games! How serious they were playing the games!
This definitely is not my idea as I don’t really like to expose my girls to electronic screen too frequent as I don’t wanna see my girls with spec. You won’t believe that almost everyday they will have at least an hour on TV with their favorite VCDs. Anyway, just open 1 eye close 1 eye lor... then I will be happier!!!

What a wonderful evening!!
