This title certainly got you clicking Everyone has their styles. Some hold their groins scurrying and yelling “I gotta go I GOTTA GO” while others do so subtly, yet while others (still) don’t tell you AT ALL that they have done it. As far as a number 1 goes, Caleb won’t tell you. At all. [...]

Discipline on time management
September 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · A father's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Ergonomics, Parenting musing, Parenting rules, life skills
I was just reading this article about disciplining children, and reminded me of what had happened only this morning. Granted it would always be the parents’ fault if children don’t get sufficient sleep/not going to bed early enough. Of late, I have found that Caitlin would still wake at around the same time in the [...]

How to nurture a preschooler’s creativity?
July 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Education, Parenting musing, Photo opp, life skills
I am in kinda stressed frame of mind at the moment I have mentioned before about Caitlin’s creative streak. When we are at home just chilling and the kids are watching the idiot box, Caitlin would actually “multitask” and do some handicraft, using the scrap A4 papers that HM and I bring home from the [...]

Smack!

Just like the Daddee, my two kids seem to “attract” mosquitoes, as compared to Hot Mummee (and her family members). While she always says it’s because I “smell” (and effectively her own kids too- good one Mummee!) I say it’s because we are sweeter on the inside! Anyway, Caitlin’s seen Daddee clap-smack mozzies whenever I [...]
Lazy Sunday afternoon..

Caleb: Is making a lot of “noise” now, with.. buh-bye; Grr-grr- “go-go” is what is uttered whenever we are ready to go out. Now he’s the one telling us we should go out. Ma’am-mee (nope, still not calling Daddee); circa and dar (“circle” and “star”, when Daddee was doodling with him); tonne-ner whenever we enter [...]

Would you have given in?

Friday morning we were getting ready for work and school respectively. Fridays are when Caitlin’s school has a wading session in their small pool. Since she’s always loved the pool it was always a welcomed day; that as well as an early-age adoption of the adult TGIF concept (she doesn’t seem to like school as [...]

Counting in Mandarin..
March 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, A toddler's POV, Caitlin the heiress, Education, Parenting musing, Short post, life skills, milestones
Caitlin knows her Mandarin counting from 1 – 10, audibly. As in, she can cite it. But give her a break, thus far it’s only in ascending order She also knows her roman numbers already (or do I mean gregorian?? You know- the numbers on your keyboard); proved herself repeatedly in the lift and (since [...]
