Art Class

Together with 3 other neighbour mummies, we signed our kids up for art class every Friday evening at a nearby community centre. With company of friends, Rynae enjoyed her lessons more. She was taught how to draw penguins in the first lesson. She did fairly well and her drawings were visibly more distinct than her peers. Well done!

Painting On Pebbles

Mummy used to do a lot of crafts and activities with Rynae but after the arrival of little brother, it was difficult to find decent free time to spend with her. She has school in the morning and her afternoon nap time coincides with Raynen hence while she's awake, so is he. Evening is the only possible period for me to interact with her but guilty speaking, I was hooked to Starhub channel 55's Moonlight Resonance for the past 2 months. Damn. That's the addiction of drama series! I was contented to wrap up the TVB big hit after watching the finale yesterday night. I forbid myself to catch on another drama and I'm gonna use this free time to do something productive - not on facebook but to spend quality time with Rynae.

When I told her that we're going to do some painting on pebbles, she was elated. She got so excited that she couldn't even wait for me to set up the things! I picked up a pebble and painted too. After a long day of nagging and chiding, it felt totally different doing crafts with her. We were both relaxed and at ease and she ranted about everything that came to her mind.

I noticed that she has a better concept of colour usage now. Previously, her paintings were always a whirlpool of colours but now, white is white, red is red and black is black. Her only complain was that the pebbles were too small for her to paint anything explicitly. Well, I couldn't agree more.

Rock and Roll!

Yeah.. It's another milestone. My boy can roll over now! In fact, his first successful attempt was when he was 3 months and 3 weeks old but I wasn't sure if I should record it down as I suspect it could be a moment of sheer luck. To be fair and accurate, I recorded his achievement at 4 months and 4 days old. Like any other babies, he couldn't lie still on his back from then onwards.

Mummy wasn't quite enthusiastic about his new found capability because changing his diaper and minding him has become a challenge. I used to dump him on the sofa while I run errands around the house but this form of convenience will cease to happen again. My boy is an acrobat who has fallen once from my bed and once from the sarong (Negligence parenting. Haha). Thank god his falls were blessed with no injury.
