Sophie's keyboard teacher is a NS man so quite often he would have to postpone her lesson on Sundays. When that happens, Alfee's drums lesson will also be postponed. Today was such an occasion so we took the kids out cycling at ECP.
Sophie needed a bit of a push to regain her confidence with her 2-wheel cycling but when she got it, she was quite unstoppable. She can be quite a thrill seeker at times. Meanwhile, Alfee still needs to work on his endurance. He gives up too easily.
I'm not sure why the kids love the fitness centre but they do and they kept lingering there every time we were at ECP. Slowly but gradually, we need to hover less and less around Alfee. He's able to look after himself although we still worry like hell for him.
We had lunch and CK decided to buy each of them a Christmas present. I was surprise because this gesture is rare… until he said the budget was $20 each. I was a little worried that they might throw tantrum when they realise most of the toys they want is more than $20. Fortunately, they didn't. They did try their luck to raise the budget but we didn't give in. In the end, Sophie picked a craft kit ($16.90) and Alfee 2 Hot Wheels cars ($3.90 each).
Once we reached home, I put Alfee in bed for his nap and came out of the living room thinking I could take a break. Sophie hijacked me to help her with the craft. I was so tired but she was equally determined. So I tried my best to help. Fortunately, she just needed a bit of instructions and organising tips. And ta-da! Four plates of jelly!
I also found her Dino size observation sheet completed. I have forgotten about it and she faithfully recorded 4 days. She was disappointed that it didn't stay big though. I explained what has happened but I wondered if she heard me. Haiz..
After Alfee woke up we played Tumbling Monkeys. We find it so hard to play with the kids. Sophie would get all worked up for losing and Alfee would have his own agenda. Basically it wasn't very fun for us. I think we should play more together.
