Eggy day

My weekday mornings are usually occupied by the baby and my little clown. Although my little clown is four, and will be turning five this year, you would think he should be in preschool already and if he's not, he'd be missing out on the early development teaching stuff and he'd be behind all the other children academically. Thing is, I watched a documentary on Smart Babies last weekend, and they have proven that children learn at the same rate, regardless of the age they started learning. So, a child exposed to formal teaching at four, is not always a better student than a child who started learning at the age of nine. So, it's okay to not send him to school just yet. Plus good preschools are expensive. I rather give him a year of schooling at a good preschool than 3 years at a shabby one. If the school is good, he should be able to catch up fast, like his brother.

So, what do i do with him at home? He plays with his sister, I read him stories from his books, cycle around the frontyard, help me with do-able housechores. And his favourite is helping me bake. And today we made egg tarts. My little clown was an excellent assistant! He helped me cracked the eggs, pour in the ingredients, mixing them and volunteered to taste the first batch. Thank you darling, Mummy loves you too!

Cupcake Fun!

Had my niece and nephews over for a night stay at Bunda's. Didn't want them to play the 'evil' Wii too much, so got them to play with icing instead. It was messy, but FUN. And they were very pleased with themselves too. Thought I should share some photos.

I am thinking of offering Cupcake Fun classes to anyone interested. Am thinking of say a group of 6 children maximum. Age between 6-12. On weekends. Lesson will include measuring the ingredients, mixing the batter, preparing the icing and piping. All material will be provided. Just bring an apron and kain buruk (wipe cloth). Each child gets to take home 6 cupcakes. I am thinking of charging only RM40 per child. So drop me a memo, if interested.
