An evening with DD
Belle, Clarissa January 25th, 2006Almost every evening after I bring them back from my mom’s I will let my girls play at the house compound. From 8.15am to 6.30pm, they will be trapped in the house at my mom’s. They will get so excited whenever they arrived home. Even if they took their evening bath, I will still let them play. We can always wash them up again.
Kiki will be exploring the huge space around her, picking up flowers, leaves, stones, and soil an sometimes if I did not notice, dried dog poop!
Belle will be playing with the sand, cooking rice and dishes and baking cake then after asking mommy to eat it. After a while she will play at the swing or join Kiki.
I will be following Kiki wherever she goes, telling her to “get up” when she falls, “wipe the dirt from your hand”, “don’t eat the stone”, “throw it away”, “don’t go too far”, “come back”, “don’t touch the dog” etc… and yes, when she fall down, I do not help her up. I will just tell her to get up by herself. She is a tough girl. Sometimes when she fell, there will be some scratches on the palm and knee, she does not cry. She will wipe off the stones and soil from it and continue playing!
Last night, she was saying “Walk Walk” again and again but we just ignore her coz we are busy with other things. She picked up her shoe, bring it to me, and say “Walk Walk”
Smart girl…maybe she thought we don’t understand her!

egghead > ya…children learn VERY fast nowadays…maybe due to all the fast food that i eat during pregnancy! hehe.
dead fox > the weather is too hot and there’s not much big trees for shade at my mom’s as at my in-law’s (i’m staying with my MIL).

your little kiki is so smart haha
it’s great that you are the sorta mom that let your kids run around in open spaces whenever you can.. their bright little minds need all the different surroundings they can get to keep them entertained and learning abt the world each and every day
