And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

Take the Test to Find Out.
Last evening when picking up the kids, teachers complaint my boy hit someone on the head(again?!!). Teachers said whenever he didn't get things his way, he starts to punch, squeeze, bite, pinch, throw things and talk back to teachers.
'Time out' is useless on him, whenever teacher raise their voices he'll take a chair and sit facing the wall on his own, but repeat the foul behavior soon or later.
Last night I let him starved, no dinner and no milk before bed. He came to me at night and pleaded, " Mama, I'm hungry, give me some food please ?! Pretty please!" .... So cute~! But a big NO from me! I gave him some water and sent him to bed.
If he didn't change, soon we'll need to sign him for anger management!
I have a hard time to get the kids going to school every morning! Not much problem with the boy though... they are now sleeping in their own room now, can't recall since when... perhaps it started after my Taipei holiday.
Every morning, either the boy or the girl will snuggle into my bed. This morning the girl whined a bit, asked her whether was nightmare or any ailment, she just ignore me(as usual, and I don't like that behavior either). The boy normally finished his milk withing a min, the girl prefer to take her sweet time. Then they'll have their 7 Seas Multi-vit. The girl had it for some time already, the boy just started to take it after a few viral infection. I reckon he now knows the downside of rejecting 'protection' from the fish oil/ vitamins, which he did before he got sick that often.
They will have a simple breakfast later, usually biscuit(fast and easy for lazy mama like me). This morning my girl had two cream puffs and the boy insisted of having biscuit. When the boy was done, I got him cleaned up and changed, not a single problem. While the girl still fooling around, blooding on the couch. When I badgered her to get change and keep going, she started to give hell lot of excuses that she was not ready(claimed she hasn't finish her breakfast). The time was ticking, it was almost 8am, and their school starts at 8:15am. So, it seems I was the only one panic and worried for her. Once I open the front door, my boy eagerly dashed out while my girl still slowly munching her 2nd cream puff(sounds like I'm siding my boy?! Not at all, it's the truth after all).
Finally when my girl was done, it already past 8' o clock, that tells why we often late for school. She has no initiative to pick up her own back, let along get it organize the day before school. I seriously feel tired to keep pestering and yelling at her... wonder what's her problem, where did she get the attitude from. I hope she shows some improvement next time when I try to write about her again, sigh~!
Scenario 1:
I bought doughnuts for the girl and boy(one each). My girl finished her share earliest while the boy left it for snack. During the Snack Time, my girl confronted me, she told me her little brother agreed to share his doughnut with her(which he actually didn't). Before my girl can take a bite on the sugar frosting doughnut, my boy approached...
"Why are you eating my doughnut?"
My girl was disappointed, guess the boy feeling sorry for his sister he added, "You eat, but make believe only har!"
Scenario 2:
One night I applied a sheet of facial mask, when they boy saw me he started to giggle. "Do I look funny?" I smiled. He answered right away...
I was taking bath just now, calling umpteen times for the boy to join me but he kept dilly dallying(Probably enjoyed ransacking my stuff). All of a sudden I heard he was crying for help, when I rushed out the privy I found this...
So the second day( Tuesday) was quite a drama!
Right after the teacher brought him into the school compound, he closed the gate and waved me goodbye(and didn't even turn around to check me)! He undid his shoes and without prompting, he washed and dried his hands before entering the classroom. Seeing he was quite comfortable at school, I told the teacher I will pick him up later. I went to Kopitiam for a wholesome breakfast that morning, I suppose it's the 1st decent breakfast without the interruption of my little sprouts(since their deliveries)!
When I came back to fetch him, I found him standing in front of the door. His face was wet with trails of tears. I asked the teacher why was he crying but the teacher just told me he suddenly burst in tears, "probably looking for me?" I inquired and the teacher smiled and nodded. When we were back at home, I personally asked my boy about his crying baby, he uttered, "Teacher angry with me."
Afternoon I got back to school(to fetch my girl), I told the teacher what the boy had told me. Then only she be frank with me, she explained he actually trying to put the material into his mouth(which Juan told me it was dried pasta). The teacher stopped him and he raised his hand to threaten teacher, thus the teacher scolded him. Well I can imagine that...
Day 3...
My boy happily holding hand with his sister all the way to school(Probably didn't bother much by yesterday incident). He mirrored what his sister did, like undoing the shoes, washed hands and pulling a chair and sat by the table. I had a few chat with Teacher Carol about my girl
s reading issue(which I will write in detail in another post). I told the teacher I'll leave him until 9am, then I walked to Teacher Lee's office(The headmistress).
We discussed further about my boy's enrollment in February. The teacher also agreed it'd be more suitable not to enroll him on the school opening day, which she afraid the crying baby kids might influence my boy(I couldn't agree more). After 30% discount for the 1st child, the total enrollment fee will be RM725(Monthly RM300, Term RM150, Material RM80, Uniform RM95, AIA RM20, Concert RM80).
Well, it's literately going to school. I have signed up my girl for a week of 'holiday programme' in her Montessori. It wasn't much of a holiday camp, she was just joining the other daycare kids in the daycare(for one whole morning session, from 8am-12n).
So, since the school headmistress didn't mind my boy joining her sister in the school, as by the mean of get a custom to the school environment. So,I brought the boy to his jie jie's Montessori, joining other kids and school activity... alright, I won't call it a day, he was there not even for more than an hour.
Let's recite what happened on the 1st day(which was yesterday). This boy has no problem mingle with other kids, he even washed his hand and dried it before went to into the classroom. He happily playing dinosaur with Hao Hin and a Malay boy. When the Malay boy tried to take his Dino, as usual he fought for it and fenced himself. To be frank, I'm quite proud of him since he knows how to stand on his ground and protect himself(though it's wrong to get violent and quarrel with others).
When the other kids were out for the outdoor activity, he was too engrossed with his own material(A set of marine animals). Still after persuaded by teachers, he cleaned up his material and join the others. At the front yard, he initiated holding hands with other boys when teacher gave commands(we were surprised). He joined them for some warm up exercise then started to look for me. Later he started to play on his own(at the caterpillar tunnel), which Teacher Lee said it's quite normal for kids at 2 to be solitude. At 4 they well learn grouping and teamwork and 6 will know certain game and rules.
