I have just bathed the two boys (I still call them my babies even they are no longer crawling on the floor). We have a domestic helper but the boys always want me to take care of them. When they are in the bath tub, they talk to me, they imagine they are in a ship, they ask me how come ships floats, bubbles come out from an empty bottle.....
And I also enjoy every moment with them, even though they drive me crazy always.
Summer has arrived Hong Kong more than a month. It reminded me the trips to Sabah when I walked out the street a few days ago. Is Hong Kong getting hotter and hotter, or am I aging and cannot handle extreme weather as easy as 10 years ago? Who knows.
The boys has started summer holiday since July. Same as other parents, we arrange many activities for them. Lucas starts learning piano. I read kids books and play with them when I don't need to work.
Sometimes I wonder, how come it seems that letting your kids idle at home is a sin in Hong Kong? It seems parents have such compulsive behavior, to let kids to learn and explore in every waking moment.
That's why, I would be glad to let them have some 'kid' time, to be laid back on the couch and have marathon TV watching. Life is actually long and they shouldn't have intensive training in the early years.
Or, you can say this is just an excuse of a lazy mom. =P
