Kite-Flying

Today we brought Gerrard and Gerlyn for a kite-flying session.

Not exactly successful because Liat didn't check the kites. We managed to fly one kite out of the 3, as the other 2 has missing parts...

Home-sweet-home...

Do we really have to go home....

Where's gor-gor going to?

Can this go up too?

The only kite that managed to fly up high today.

Gerlyn's gulping down her drink.

Gerrard's enjoying his drink.

See that? The fishes in the sky.

The kids enjoying a snack. Daddy's at the background.

Land is so huge that the kids roamed freely.

Who's enjoying it more? The kids? Or the daddy??

Wedding

Attended cousin's wedding yesterday. The photographer took a family pic for us.

Then realised that we lacked coordination in clothes....

Gerry is 1 years old

A simple birthday cake to mark baby Gerry's 1 year old.
We had to stay at home as both Gerry and Gerrard have yet fully recover from chickenpox.

Chickenpox Month

Yay! We survived the Chickenpox month!!!

Gerlyn got it first. From the childcare centre, two weeks before school holidays.

When she recovered and return back to school, then it was Gerrard's and Gerry turn! *groan*
So, we had an entire month of chickenpoxed children to nurse.

Think Gerrard should be able to return back to school next week, though many are still raw from the dropping off of the scabs.

Will get him assessed by the doc tomorrow.

So sweet of Teacher Camille to write on the wrapper for Gerrard's milk.

We always gave the children treats for behaving well in the day during their chickenpox 'retreat'.

Gerrard was always occupied by computer games, which kept him away from the itch and pain.

Good boy

Going by child psychology and common sense, which child do not want to be the good boy or girl?

Gerrard was facing quite a fair bit of problems in sch. Things are more settled these days.

Prior to the chickenpox attack, this was what the teachers and I found when I fetched him from school one day:

Multiple marks of stars on Gerrard's thighs

In the previous centre, he enjoyed Thursdays the most. Reason being that the music teacher will reward the well-behaved kids with a stamp on the hand. He was always thrilled to show us his 'chop' on the hands.

Gerrard stamped the stars on his own thighs. He must had felt he was a really good boy that day.

Play

I believe kids learn the best through play.

They somehow like to play together, with Gerlyn snatching Gerrard's toys occasionally

Gerlyn: Wait baby. Let me find you a toy.

Gerry: That one! That one!

Gerry: I want the ball!

Lanterns

First lantern parade of the year in our house!

My parents bought one for each of the Gs. Gerry was sleeping, so the other 2 Gs played on their own first.

Hope Gerrard and Gerry get well soon. Then we can all go downstairs and play!
