The first week of the school hols have zoomed past us really fast and it was pretty exciting for the girls. The girls’ koong koong and granny were in KL last week for 3 days and there was a lot of bonding time together.
In the morning, the girls are normally up by 7ish am, Baby too. As for me, I am getting up earlier and earlier each day to avoid ‘clashing’ with the gals’ waking up time, coz if it clashes, shiaks, my only me time would be gone. I really need my me time, I need a respite, I need time to run or work out in the gym. I am normally up by 5ish am and would leave the house by 6:45am to exercise. On days when Alycia and Sherilyn are up before I leave the house, they would pester me to bring them along. On Tuesday, all 3 girls woke up at 6:30am. So I strapped Baby in the stroller and brought Alycia along with me when I jogged at the lobby of our condo. Rascal #2 of course protested that she couldn’t go and I told her that she can follow me the next day. On Wednesday, rascal #2 followed me, with me lugging Baby along on her stroller.
On Friday, we went to Mid Valley and Gardens for shopping. I bought a stack of Math workbooks for Alycia and Sherilyn for them to brush up their Math. With the workbooks, I don’t need to write and set my own questions for them.
After lunch each day, Alycia and Sherilyn will take their shower. After shower, it’s Math and reading time. I will set 20 Math equations each for Alycia and Sherilyn. During this time, Baby doesn’t want to be left out and would normally latch on my boobies as she listens to me teaching her 2 jie jies. I hope she’s also absorbing everything that I teach her jie jies.
Here’s Alycia, all absorbed in solving her Math questions…
What motivates the girls is a big, big star when they get all correct, hehe. Kids, they are so easily satisfied.
Sherilyn solving her Math addition….
“10+5 is? Hmmmm……10 is bigger than 5, so I put 10 in my head and take out 5 fingers. After 10 is 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. So I write 15!”

babc C can just latch on yr breasts and listening to you teaching the two jie jie- I guess she is old enough and not easily distracted. My boy,ah… just a bit of noise can distract him.
Yea, they are easily satisfied.
wow, aly and sher must be very good with their maths now. good job to both of them and to mommy too 😀
i see that u really took d effort to prepare those works for the girls….salute u for the discipline, i’m just too lazy 🙁
I bought some workbooks for Crystal too at Popular bookstore on Friday night while waiting for the movie, Chrsitmas Carol, to start. I send Crystal for tuition because I just do not have the time to teach her except on weekends.
You discipline your girls very well on doing homework
