It was raining cats and dogs yesterday evening. Big C was supposed to go for her BaoBei while I hopped into the gym for a 30 minutes workout. I was not in the mood to resist the heavy pouring, subsequently my heart had come to a resolution that I had to give up my workout and skip Big C's BaoBei Class. Furthermore, I did not want to get myself into the horrendous KL Traffic Jam that I experienced on Tuesday. (*All cars were all at Standstill condition for almost 2 hours due to the Not-So-Smart-Tunnel Closure and the of course the heavy rain*).
So, I was home early! It was only 5.30pm and I took all the time I want to take a slow and relaxing shower. Not very slow afterall, because I wanted to spend more quality times with my Cs. I had a quick and simple dinner alone in the dry kitchen, while Novi served Cs dinner at their Mini Size Multipurpose tables and chairs where they eat, play, read, write and chill.
Anyway, our QUALITY TIME starts around 7pm. I had Big C work on her remaining November Shichida Worksheets while I coaxed Little to work on her small letter "b" - bear and then colour the picture of a cute bear. She did quite well for "a" - apple as in she manage to fill *almost* the apple red completely. Maybe it involved only one colour, so what she needed to do was to scribble scribble scribble. Then, last week, when I work on "a" - astronaut, it involved different colours, and she lost interest in her favourite scribbling act. I ended up guiding her through on the colouring part. (*more like coaxing or rather colour on behalf most of the time*) So, I thought "b" -bear would be easier since she can use brown (ONE COLOUR) to scribble through, but it wasn't the case. This fussy Little C told me that she doesn't like brown and she likes blue. Well, I am not too concern if she is gonna colour the bear pink, orange, blue, red or even rainbow colours, as long as she is willing to work something out. Eventually, I was the only one trying to fill up the bear with colours while she was flipping one page to another and demanded to work on "c" - cat. I let her be cats or bears, as long as she can sit down quietly and start scribbling so that I can switch my attention on Big C.
While I was reading the instruction of the Shichida Worksheet to Big C, Ms. Little Mischievous C started to walk around and throw tantrum to grab my attention. Alamak.
At the end, I managed 2 pages of simple worksheets for Big C, and Little C completed her "b" - bear and "c" - cat colouring with MOSTLY Mama's effort. Thank God, after an hour of distressing coaxing act, I had agreed upon building the Dora Railtrack for Cs' playtime. *sigh* You know, a terrible two plus a frightful four, the orchestra will never end. From the moment the track was assembled, Cs started fighting for turns to roll the train down the track. Bleah..My bad, bad, bad suggestion.
Not long after, I decided to keep the blocks and bring back the silence by Apple Temptation. Yes, munching time. Cs sat quietly and had their apples in joy. I love Apple times because I will get to see lots of sharing moment. Well, not between sisters, but they like to share their apples with adults, Great-Grandma, Grandma or MaMa. :P Lovely.
Then, I read SPOT by Eric Hill to Cs, their favourite story board book. I love it too. It is the lift-to-flap book, Cs find excitement in these simple story books. They don't mind me repeating it all the times.
After reading, we went a little free and easy. We sang some songs randomly, laughed and danced until 9pm.
