Summer days are busy days

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
