Caitlin had fever on Sunday.
So she didn’t attend her 1st session of her art class (actually it would be her 2nd session, they allowed her a trial session last weekend to assess her: behaviour, “standard” of her skills like drawing & painting, etc, to decide which level / class to put her). We decided to let her try out these art classes to see how she goes with her keen interest in drawing and colouring.
So she stayed at home, despite very much looking forward to attending it. Sometimes she is such a darling with her “okaaay” when we explain how she can’t do something she really wants to.
Tried my best to keep her occupied, though she had already planned on an activity- to cook herself some soup.
ABC soup no less. Locals cook this with the most basic of ingredients: Tomato, onions, potatos.
She had wanted to add some beans too, and I insisted we added some peas too though she doesn’t really like them in real life.
In case you can’t tell, there’s the stove, the pot, and the ingredients. I helped her staple the ring to make up the pot 
Yes, she is handling a pair of scissors. She started using them last year before turning 4 without my knowledge, to make things. Touch-wood she hasn’t hurt herself yet so far, and under my watchful eye since (when I do see her use it) she’s been quite okay with them. Let’s hope she remembers to keep them from her younger brother though.

Hope Caitlin is getting better.
Scissors: Don’t let my boys see one lying around, or they will get into a snipping frenzy. I will have to look for some old supermarket catalogs for them and then might have to clean up some mess if they suddenly run off to look at/ play with something else.
Btw, there is a small hole on one of our bedsheets, snipped by our 1st boy, wanting to know is scissors can cut cloth too. @:( How about that?

Haha! That reminds me of one of the cars my family had in the 70’s.
There’s a hole on the front seat’s upholstery. It’s round, the same shape and size as the cigarette lighter in the car!
My mum furiously asked me how it got there. I gave the same reason- to see if it worked!

Oh….hope Caitlin is much better now! Does she have a play pot and stuff? Or was it really creativity in craft at its best?
