got character?

Daddy said that this photo of Shayne….. ‘got character’. Yup, Shayne, he has character, unique character…..good and bad ones though. I am getting the hang of handling him, ie have to be extremely firm. His thoughts are so fast that wriggles his way out of discipline every time. +sigh+ . I have to be fast, failing which, his reasoning will definitely get him out of it. Or his trademark…. with his big and sincere eyes… coupled with his: “Sorry”. He did that to his Ta gugu many times.

When Emma is gone, the boys are closer. This statement from Lynn is very true. The boys are communicating well and play construction set together. Their fave game: imaginary games of knights… attacks….moat with crocs… castles….. all sorts of boys stuff.

This is Shayne - when he wants his way - . I took this photo in East Coast Beach. He wants to build sand castle… but due to high tide he was not allowed to go near the water.

My SIL went back yesterday. Our new helper who is taking her exam again will be in only late next week, provided she passed. Today, daddy helped out in preparing the boys for school. We did well. At 8am, we are all ready to go….

Here is a photo of Sara playing with dried leaves she found on the ground.
