Kimberly
Kids !!
It just struck me how many other stuff kids experienced away from our sides that we are not aware about.
Ashley found a comb and proceed to brush my hair through with it. As she was combing, she commands, “Say, Owieee…Momma ! Say Ow !”
She has her own hair washed at daycare by the school’s kakak and blown dry by the teachers everyday before naptime. I guess the brushing must have hurt.
However, I didn’t think that my kid would have “expected” brushing to hurt and accepted it as a daily routine of life.
I was also thinking about how quirky kids can get.
Just the other day, Kimberly was chatting to Ashley on our drive out to Renaissance Hotel for long buffet lunch. Ashley was hanging on to Kimberly’s Enopi blocks cos we left right after picking up Kimberly from her Enopi, and Ashley wouldn’t let go. She said she wanted to bring it to school (ie. kindergarten)
Kimberly then proceed to explain to her in her best chieh chieh tone that it isn’t done to bring toys to school.
“You get punished if you bring toys to school” Kimberly said.
Ashley looked at her chieh chieh without comprehension.
“You know what is punishment?” Kimberly asked her baby sister, leaning across from her car seat to Ashley’s car seat as close as she could.
Ashley shook her head.
“Punishment is where you go stand in a corner and be quiet” She announced in a know-it-all way.
“Ohhhh…” Her baby sister exclaimed with widening eyes and bopped her head up and down, showing understanding.
She then proceed to return Kimberly’s Enopi blocks to Kimberly’s receiving outstretched palms and smug grin.
Haha ! Aren’t kids just so refreshing? You get glimpses of these every now and then and it makes all things worthwhile.
And haven’t so much have changed since our time, subtle or otherwise?
These pictures were taken at One Utama sometime last month.
As I was clicking on the shutters, both Kimberly and Ashley yelled in unison,
“Ben 10 !!!”
These here were taken at The Gardens.
At the bird cages, upon taking pictures, I said,”Say cheese !”
Kimberly yelled, “Birdie !!!”
At Ikano, I told Ashley, “Say Cheese !”
Ashley yelled, “Christmas!!! ”
What happened to our old fashioned, “Cheese !!!” ??? Things have sure evolved from our times, hasn’t it? Ha ! Ha !
Just in case I haven’t got a chance later, to all readers who celebrate Christmas, may you have a wonderful wonderful Christmas !!!! Happy Holidays !!
Kimberly’s fun at Abang’s Party
Kimberly had fun last Saturday at her schoolmate, Abg Shahjahan’s birthday party.
It was held at Children Technology Workshop at Bangsar New Village. They had known each other since they were 5, from kindergarten.
I had desperately wanted some me time. I was glad to be able to sit and chat with other parents while waiting for the kids. It’s not very often that Ashley condescend to uncling herself off my arms. Ha ha !
The parents were treated to Marco’s downstair for some tea while the kids have their fun upstairs at CTW.
These are the kids at the CTW. I think they are supposed to build robotic stuffs or join those lego things together. Looks like they had a lot of fun.
These are the girls team.
I was informed by KImberly that her team is the “Princess” team. What else? haha
And they built this.
Can you imagine that many pairs of hands working on one tiny model?
I thought that was so cute.
And Kimberly said the Princess team won, because, in her own words, “our model is strong because when they run the test, our model didn’t break down. Because the sides of our model are strong. They didn’t crumble”
Good for the girls. haha !
Even Ashley had fun.
A kind little boy took it upon himself to teach Ashley how to play games on the computer.
After the contest, the kids were brought downstairs to Marco for their tea. They had the usual fried chickens, nuggets, weiners, salads and stuff.
Pizza, they had to bake themselves.
But it looks like fun. Kimberly, my little baker, enjoyed it tremendously !
They each have this little rolling pins for little fingers.
The chefs put the pizzas into the oven.
This is Kimberly with her pizza.
The masterpiece. haha !
After the pizza baking, the birthday boy, Abang, blew candles on his birthday cake.
AFter the cakes, the kids were treated to sundaes over at the counter top.
I had contemplated letting Kimberly celebrate her birthday there this year too. Every year we either have caterers and magician at home, or had it at Mac D, and the last 3 years running, had it at Kidsports. I was thinking CTW is a good alternative for this year. But just thinking about it is exhausting. I think perhaps we will have a quiet affair for once this year. haha.
But those who are looking to celebrate kids birthday soon, this seems like a really really good option.
Kimberly keep telling me she had so much fun !!
