Saturday Morning!

I always felt bad that the kids had to be in the office every Saturday morning, doing nothing at the office while I was busy with my work. So, in order to make them fully used their time, I always allowed them to bring their toys to office. And to keep them active, their bikes are always in the office.

Every Saturday morning, they will cycle outside the office compound. Luckily, the compound is spacious! All I need to do is keeping an eye on them. After the ride, they will play their toys in the office. This is the time when I can do my work while they play with their toys. Well, sometimes they quarrel over small matters and complain to me..this makes me nuts!! With the works in hand together with their endless complaint and noises really drives me crazy!!

Trying to resolve their complaint or any quarrel is never a wise choice, it makes things worse. I let them handle themselves, let them resolve their problems. I do not want to be the judge, judging who is right..who is wrong..I do not want to be the peacemaker, helping them to solve every single little argument. I'm confident that they can handle themselves.

In the meantime, I noticed that they got creative with or without their toys. Ning Ning is more into imaginative play while Syuen Syuen is more to creative play.

Ning Ning always had story line in head and she could imagine many many things which is "invisible" to us. I always saw her open an "invisible" door and step into another place, it's kinda funny. She acted like Charlie Chaplin!! Sometimes, with her toys, she could came up with story. I especially love her story about Mr. Crocodile driving all the small animals to school!

Syuen Syuen always loves to play with every little stuff that she managed to get her hands on. Even a broken stuff could be a useful stuff once in her hands. She is creative though to make use of the unwanted stuff. She loves to keep "rubbish" and sometimes, we make fun of her by saying her a rubbish collector. Then, she will always respond that they are not rubbish, we shouldn't be wasteful! Hahahaha...This is what she did after she found the broken armchair! Happily, they took turn to pull one another.
To keep them more occupied, I brought them some art work to do in the office. They enjoyed it and they learned to be patience through art works.
At the end of the day, they will help me to clean the office, from wiping, sweeping to mopping all by themselves. I'm sure proud of them.
