Spending Time with Mommy…

I’m not a good playmate, as comparing to hubby. Since we moved here, he’s the one who’s spending more time with the kids while I busy at the kitchen, hand wash some clothes (oh ya, not all can be machine-washed!) and busy with other stuffs. But there are a few things which my kids would prefer me over their daddy, such as:

• Bento-ing
• Reading
• Posing in front of my camera
• Tugging them to sleep and etc…

So, last Saturday, all 3 of us had some quality time together, while hubby was away at the office. I haven’t enrolled them into art class since they started school, but we shall do so after hubby’s back from business trip. I sipeh lazy to drive around la…

Thus, we had lots of fun when…

Isabelle decided to put on a fashion show…Look at her bizarre fashion taste, especially her head band. LOL!

Mommy, I’m pretty or not? (Oh ya, that’s the favorite Marie’s tee which she wears very often)

Justin joined in the fun too, and since he knows that I won’t show his photo openly on this blog, he decided to cover his face for me. LOL!

This is the Brachiosaurus which he hugs to sleep every night…It’s one big dino!

Of course, I snapped a few more silly shots, and my kids were really playful in front of my camera. After that, it’s quiet time when we read some books and played some puzzles. I used to wonder why Isabelle is not keen to learn about alphabet and numbers, as Justin basically knew A – Z and 1 – 10 before 3 years old. But then, every kid develops at her own pace, so I’ve always assured myself no need to be kiasu about this.

Recently, Isabelle likes to play with the alphabet and number puzzles, which belong to Justin when he was a toddler.

Isabelle’s playing the puzzles.

She can’t recognize all of them yet, but there is no hurry. I know my gal, if you want to force her to name the letters or numbers, she won’t touch the play sets again, so we shall let her learn at her own pace.

Then, the kids dozed off for a nap, and hubby came back shortly. After their nap, we fixed a simple kids bento together and it’s fun to see them “playing with their food”.

“I fixed this bento, you know? You know?” Isabelle’s talking to daddy…

In short, it’s a nice afternoon with the kids. I think hubby would love to spend a few quality hours with the kids too when he’s back from his trip. He won’t be seeing them for 2 weeks, and I know he will surely miss them.
