playfulness 004
Self explanatory really. I’ve been hearing them tell tales on each other almost daily so such moments, are meant to be treasured. Kath, who only remembers being wronged, has no concept of when it occured and will persistently repeat it to anyone who would listen. Until the next wrong is done against her. Heh.
Poor Jayden. She’s really getting historical here.

first day of school! — 003
Today I’m thankful for a fuss-free, painless day of school. Jayden had a mini-meltdown when he started two years back. It was probably due to him having a relatively new sister. He would cry the most when I sent him off. Thankfully, drama-mama days ended within the first 2 weeks of school and never came back.
Today, Kath joined her brother in waking early and prepping for school. The novelty of it all far outweighed everything else and she went about orientation without a hitch. Heck, she was happy to go. As was Jayden. New school, new surroundings, but the duo were good.
They chattered non-stop after. Sharing snippets here and there. I think this is going to work! 
Loving the new school uniforms. They cost a pretty penny but don’t you want to pinch their cheeks?!
** Way more pictures of Kath because I was allowed to sit in her class. And because they were slow with breakfast, we literally scampered across to school.

365 days of thanksgiving ~ 001
This new year, I’m trying a new pet project. 365 days of thanksgiving; one item a day. One whole year through. I never quite made it through with my photo-a-day series last year so let’s see how far along I’d get with this. At the end of it all, I figure, this will make a painless yet awesome photobook no? (yes yes, me and my infatuation with photobooks!)
Today, I’m thankful for playdates. We were invited by WM to her place for a chill out playdate. It didn’t start out smooth, with a fair bit of chaos but it settled down nicely in the end. The ball pen was THE place where friendships were made. The 3 older kids suddenly bonded over the plastic balls and finally, could play together.
Playdates are always fun. Watching the kids warm up, easing into a state of comfortable interaction. It’s also when you see the differences in age groups. The younger tods were terrorised by these two. Tsktsk. Still, all in, a lovely afternoon. Perfect occasion to go trigger happy and ogle at babies.
And yes, thank you, two are enough.
