We are The Ongies

Today, hubby had to reprimand Cait by not giving her the chance to skate (scooter) to her school. Due to her naughtiness, she had been forbidded to watch her anime in car while on the way to school as well. This also goes out to Clar because she was the starter of the whole event. By the time Cait was in school after the usual health check up, she mumbling non stop so that hubby will be able to pick up her unhappiness. Time was 0830hrs, the girls were punctual and they are supposed to be in school by then. Cait said:" See... come so early also use. I don't even have a chance to skate my scooter to the school! " Hubby know that Cait is a very sensible, but yet can be very sensitive; he agreed to let her go to playground after school only if she behave well in school. Just as promised, hubby did brought the two girls enjoyed their run and playfulness in the playground. This is about give and take. Knowing they are in wrong, hubby will tend to take away their r...

Having clueless when sending Cait to school, he was astonished that Cait had been promoted to K1! Cait turned and face him:"I told you last week already, you don't know ah!!!" Well, nothing to be shameful about because he really do not know what was going on last week, and he did not hear anything from Cait at all. Nevertheless, this show that Cait had grown up a lot. Her mentality is very matured than others, thus her understanding level is very high. It is not easy to trick her at all. Because of this, it will means: harder to discipline her. Having promoted to K1, this will let Cait to focus more on studying, learning and reading. Let's enjoy the last of 2013 first. It is good to see that Cait love to go to library and read the books, hence the borrowing of 11 books. While they wanted to stay longer in the library, Clar had been making too much noise which may disturb the others. During the PTC (Parent Teacher Conference), the teacher mentioned that C...

It is never easy to understand kids mentality when they throw tantrum out of the blue. How can you as a parent deal in this kind of situation? It can be very frustrating when they do not tell you the reason. One of the worst solution  and yet not effective is to scold and beat the kids up. This, however, is not helping at all. The situation may worsen as adult tried to force an answer out from them. Hubby had tried all ways until he find that the best solution is to give them cold turkey treatment. By keeping quiet while the kids cry non stop will made them know that they are no longer in control. In the end, they will give up and willing to tell you the why they throw tantrum.  Talk to them after 10 min and keep the tone soft and stern. If it is time to say out the reason, they will. Always emphasize that they are not allow to do it again. This may take a long time for them to realise, but it is not a bad way at all. Kids can be very sensitive when adult accident...

Cait requested for candy floss after seeing other kids having it at RWS previously. Wifey ever let her tried before, but she did not like it at all. But now, she been requesting non stop, because the other kids have it. Hubby tried his best by asking his beloved friends. He was told that there's pasar malam at Jurong West area! They thought that she might have forgotten about it after waking up from her noon nap. They were wrong. Night time, they went to Jurong West to try their luck... Yes! There's a pasar malam and candy floss stall as well! They requested for a fresh floss so that Cait is able to see how it's made. She had never seen something like before. In the end, they were told that she did not really like it. Hubby and wifey had to finish up for her instead. It's a pity, Clar does not like it as well.

Cait recently tend to talk like an adult; perhaps she totally resemble her mummy - Mature thinking. Her ideology and way of talking is simply not her age, but like teenager, and yet as sensitive as her daddy. When wrong sentences or action was used wrongly, she will feel very upset and tend to ignore everyone else. Usually, such reaction is shown near 6-7 years old.  Cait love to help people, but hate to be instructed to. If you require her help, make sure you do not order her, but to tell her that the other parties is unable to do it. Then the angel will appear. Yesterday, Cait was telling her grandma that next day is Friday, then to Saturday. She hate school, she does not want to go at all because her friend said that she is very naughty, not good. Apparently, wifey heard the story, was told that her good friend was holding 2 crayons of the same color. She find it is wrong, then took it away. That's how she was named as naughty and not good. Hubby had to tell the prin...

Bring along a lip balm if you can, alternatively, you can buy from the shop as well. It was a great night sleep on the more cosy bed in Disneyland. Everyone slept well deeply. The kids were so tired that they cannot getup in ...
