When Dadi being put in charge..........

Recently, when I'm on my usual biz trip to Taiwan, of course, Dadi being put in charge to manage his 2 lil princes....And, know what happen......

This is what happens:

When I go fetch my sons as usual from daycare immediately after I reached home, Iz greet me happily and running toward to me, of course, one hand keep pulling his 'pant' and another hand keep waving to me.....

And, the daycare teacher, just told me this "Today, Iz's pant is a bit loose, that's why this WHOLE afternoon, he has been keep pulling his pant on and off while he play or doing thing".

Initially, I didn't realise anything wrong and telling her - teacher Jenny that maybe, Dadi didn't realise it. BUT, when I see Jona, I know what is wrong....

Dadi, accidentally, put wrong pant into both boys daycare bag and the daycare teachers didn't even bother to double check about it. End up: Jona wearing Iz tight pant, and Iz wearing Jona loose pant.....

Aiyoohh....if only daycare teacher pay extra attention to my boys and if only Dadi would pay extra effort in making sure the pant being put correctly in each daycare bag......

That's the consenquence of when Dadi being in charge for just a day!!

Night Story Teller.....

Yesterday night, don't know for whatever reasons, Iz just doesn't feel sleepy and wont' sleep at all.

Upon Jona request, yesterday we slept at 10pm, as he want to finish watch his cartoon...and after change into pyjamas and switch off the light, and saying our GOOD NIGHT to each others, this lil OWL start his 'story teller' by himself.....

"Momi, why just now, you so strong one? Can climb the gate, and open the gate, huh?"

Momi reply: "Because no electricity and Momi forgot to bring that gate key lor....Ok, now, go to sleep liao"

"Momi, just now ar, in sunday school, I no more crying, and teacher teaches me to sing - Old MacDonald has a farm, The Noah got the boat boat"....keep repeating sing it, and then, ask Jona to sing along when he forgot, the last phrases...

Momi: "Iz, please zip your mouth and sleep liao"...."Tomorrow, morning, has to wake up early as Momi need to send you 2 go to school first before rush to go to work".

By that time, it is already 10.30pm.....

"Momi, just now kor kor eat pizza, and didn't wash his hands and touch my face. So dirty and I cried lor"

Momi: "Ok, Jona, next time, cannot do like that anymore, ok?" "Ok, now, go to sleep liao"

"Momi, we haven't say our night prayer yet?"

Momi: "Ooppss, ok, after say our prayer, as usual, must sleep already, ok?" "Dear Lord,...."

Iz: "Momi, no no, no this one"

Momi: Then...

Iz: "Must use my teacher one, the new one ar..."

Momi: "Ok, then, you say the prayer and we follow"

Iz: "Aaa..but, I cannot remember wor" .....laughing softly

Momi: "Then, go to sleep liao" "Momi so tired liao"

It is 10.45pm.....

"Momi, tomorrow, you buy for me, ne, the long long and thin stick one ar"..."What it call ar?"

Momi: Think, think......

Iz: "Ne, the one you buy for me, when we go shopping ar"

Momi: Ooo...Rocky stick

Iz: "Yes, yes, I want the rocky stick...it is so nice one. I want to eat it. I can finish it one. I want you buy 2, 2 for me, and 1 for kor kor"

Momi: OK, but, you must go and sleep now......

Iz: "You must buy for me tomorrow, ok?" "I wan to eat it again"...."Very nice, what it called ar?" "Also, buy for me the balloon ok?" "So long, I didn't play the bubble anymore lor..." "I miss it"...

Momi: Iz, please go to sleep now. Kor kor is asleep already. If you go to sleep now, tomorrow I will buy you Rocky stick and bubble, okie?"

Iz: "I want the Rocky stick, the strawberry one." Very nice...

By that time, it is already 11.15pm, and I really don't know what time he felt asleep, as I just couldn't hold longer to chit chat with him, and doze off myself. And, when I woke up around 11.40pm, lil OWL is already fast asleep......

And, see....how peaceful he sleep, like in good dream hor? Maybe, is thinking of eating his Rocky strawberry stick....he,he...and even has a good mood to greet me while I washing my face with his cheeky face and wanting to pee pee this morning(1st time: no pee pee on his diaper - hasn't plan to start him diaperless yet, as he still has plenty of stock to clear!!)

"Live" Show.....

My 2 princes always like to come out with some funny or creative games by themselves....not too sure whether they are too boring or just because their brain is full of creativeness.

Yesterday, when Dadi just back from outsation, suddenly Jona overturn his IKea square table, reasoning to do a stage for his 'show'. And, grab few toys from his playroom......I really have no idea why he know how to fully utilise the stuff around him.

".....one day, a fish come and swim swim, suddenly see teddy bear......and, fish go and kiss kiss bear....THE END....Thank You"

And, of course, Iz will definitely want to follow his kor kor action, so, he also go and grab few teddy bears and perform his 'show' too.

".....ar, ar.....this teddy go walk walk...and....bang teddy bear, and...and go market...and, see wolf come, and scare and faster go home and fight fight wolf....THE END...Thank You"..

It is really heart warming to see both of their performance....Each one got their own skill....The most obvious thing is, when they see Dadi back home, they feel so happy, and wanted to play with Dadi.....so, and then, they need to be creative to 'attract' Dadi to pay attention to them rather than, keeping talking to Momi non stop.....

Super Character Champion Award

For those of you, that you enroll your kid in Fungate Concept kindy, sure you know what is this about. If I'm not mistaken, it is conducted every quarter, as Jona has been on this reward chart for twice (April and July).

Of course, there are 'Pros' and 'Cons' about this reward chart for me. Good thing is, I can 'threaten' Jona that if he not behave well, I won't colour his honey pot and he need to behave well. But, of course, I don't think I would like to use this kind of reward to change my son character just because of wanting the gift at the end.

But, one thing for sure, no matter how I 'threaten' him using this honey pot to tidy up his toys or etc, he just won't do it, and at the end, he just never get his honey pot to be colour for tidy up the room/toy/etc, which he doesn't mind at all!! Next time, if Iz got this kind of reward chart, I bet his honey pot will be colour for tidying stuff as he always did it now and then.

Cons about this rewarding chart are, I have to monitor and do the marking of things that he does and doesn't, which is not really easy at all to judge. And, have to submit it on every Monday of the week, and if I forgot, teacher will complain saying Jona is still not capable of passing the message back to parent (which it is not his fault at all!!) ~ blame to his momi for being forgetful.

See, what Jona get this time? I guess maybe, Jona able to score highest mark for this reward chart, that is why he got reward as 'Super Character Champion Award', and a small gift which everyone has it too - a small paper clipper.

Jona just super duper happy about it. Can't wait till back home and show it to me and even report to me what happen: "Momi, see, I got this award and the present for being good boy!!! Everyone also got it. Uncle Yuen called my name, and I stand up and go to front. Uncle Yuen give me and everyone clap their hands. Then, other people turn. I being the first one" and end with a cheeky smile.

It is just so easy to make a kid happy and motivated........
