Me: Are you done?
Boy : Yes. I want to see my snake!
Me: What snake?
Boy: Snake there, in the toilet! *Pointing at the toilet bowl*
Me: Ok, then 擦屁股 (clean) first.
Boy: NO! I want to see snake first!!!
Me: Cannot! Must 擦屁股 (clean) first!!!!
Of course, mommy has to win this… I don’t want the poop on the toilet seat or the floor! LOL
After cleaning…
Boy jumped down and look at his “doings”.
Boy: WOW… so many snakes!! Bye bye!
LOL.
Sometimes I really wonder what is in his mind. I really enjoy talking with him now because I can never expect what he is going to say, he has such a wonderful imagination. He is so cheeky & fun, and very challenging. *melt heart*

The boy suddenly develops interest in making craft with us. When he saw the mock up Tiger face craft that I prepared for the Library’s CNY story time, he asked me to make one with him too. And instead of making a plain tiger face craft, we made Chinese Hand Drums.
Nikita pretty much did all the cutting, the gluing and decorating of this craft. She just needed some help to write the Chinese words on the plate (Hmm… maybe I should have insisted that she writes the words herself.) and to assemble the drum.
As for the boy, I’m surprised that he has so much patience to work on a craft now. He did all the gluing of the tiger parts (with guidance, of course!) and also adding the tiger’s eyes & decorating the nose. He even did some cutting work too! He is actually quite good with the use of scissors now, but I know he would “mess” up the circle & heart shapes cut up, so I only let him cut up the tiger stripes because they are all straight lines. 
If you look at his tiger, I think he did a pretty good job, don’t you think?
By the way, kindergarten changeover finally happened, the girl is in morning class now. I think I better make use of the 2 hrs that the girl is away, to do something more educational with the boy. He is learning like a sponge right now, it will be such a waste if i don’t make use of this time to teach him more!
Anyway, see how to make this craft here :
Chinese New Year craft – Chinese Tiger Hand Drum
Check out also the video clip showing how Nikita played her hand drum there too!

At snack time yesterday, we were having Jacobs crackers with cream cheese and Jam…
Boy, showing me his spreader : Mama, you want this?
Me : Yes.
Then, I took his spreader from him.
Boy: Say thank you!
Me -_- : Oh… Thank you.
Boy: You (are) welcome.
Lesson learnt.

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Blessed 2010!!
I know I have been neglecting this blog for a long time, life has been pretty crazy with DH staying home idling the past 3 weeks because he has to clear his annual vacation hours. When he is home, he would drag us to do stuff together like visiting museum, sledding, home improvement projects etc. There is simply no time & mood for me to sit by the computer and blog. :p Well, come Jan 19 when Nikita goes to morning kindergarten class, I may have more time to catch up with the long list of overdue posts that I’ve meant to blog earlier.
Off my head… these are the things I wish to blog about
1. Parent-Teacher Conference (Autum 2009 – Nikita’s)
2. Nikita’s 6th birthday and annual routine checkup.
3. Niklas’ 27months update
4. Updates on our home schooling progress.
5. Continue to work on My Comical Family’s comics.
6. The kids’ craft projects
7. Nikita’s Lunch box notes.
8.
Hmm… let’s see if I will really follow thru to blog these out. Haha!
It has been snowing for the past 2 days, and DH & I have to hit the natural gym to do some serious workout later. About 7″ of snow this time. Hopefully our backs will still be intact after we are done with the snow shoveling.
Ok… that’s all for now.
Bye!

Toys and hats for donation.
Yes, all she really wanted for her birthday is to do something for charity!
Gotta love this girl. She is so sweet, sensible and selfless!! We are so proud of her!!!
So, today we sent in a few toys and a hat for the charity projects that her school is organizing. We will also be picking up some food stuff from Costco (a wholesale warehouse club) later after school so that she can deliver them to the food shelter herself on her birthday tomorrow.
Of course, even though she said she doesn’t want a party or a cake, we have planned a surprise for her tomorrow. But we can’t talk about it, in case she read from this blog. This girl is so smart now that it is so hard to keep things from her!
Anyway… I still can’t believe my little girl is turning 6!!!!
Aww… she grows up too fast!!
