Busy Sunday

The part-time maid did not come today.
Since I do not have a lot to mark (but still have one pile) , I decided the clean the house a bit because it is reallly toooooo messy.

The kids are painting now, so I give myself a short break while waiting for water to boil and make a cup of tea. Papa is watching that Korean drama which I am too afraid to watch as it will make me cry...haha.

Ok... back to my kids.

Ryan woke up the earliest (on weekends only). I was awake but I lazed on the bed with them. So when boy woke up, the first thing he did was to turn his craftwork (clock) to show 'day time'. He did this craftwork in school, using the paper plates, pictures and fastener. It could be rotated to show the time of the day - day or night. I discovered that every morning, the first time he did was to turn that 'clock' to show day time. At night, I did not know when he turned that to 'night time'... when I was too busy outside the room I suppose.  It is amusing to see how dedicated he was at something -- something he wanted to do himself. Haa.. :p

Yesterday, I read the cards with him again. I was glad now he can remember some words from the cards. Even the Berries Textbooks, I went through with him and asked him to do some work, he was able to finish all that I asked him to. Of course, he was still bumping around while doing. He could finish one word or even one stroke and turned around and jumped onto the sofa (at Papa's office). Or he would "throw" the pencil away happily when he THOUGHT that he had finished the work.

Oh ya.. he tried to use the ruler when he had to write the chinese character "heng". I told him no need to use ruler, use hand will do! He looked upset and put away the ruler. But after that he used his left index finger and placed it along the line while his right hand was holding the pencil. He wanted to use his finger as the 'ruler' !

The girl read the whole Book 1 of her K2 Berry course. I registered her only recently, so they are at Book 4. Kia su mummy bought Book 1 to 3, as well as the Workbooks. She could read all the stories in Book 1, and is doing the Workbook 1 on her own.

They finished painting..and daddy is treating them to Yam Yam - Biscuit stick with chocolate !
