Sibling moments

It's fun to see how the little one react towards the same thing sometimes.

XX envy mei mei "play" inside the playpen, while YY can't wait to get out of it.

A good article to share

一天，听一个朋友说起一个故事：两个好朋友，各有一个差不多大的孩子。 这两个孩子在一起慢慢长大。可是后来一个孩子不小心溺水身亡了。这个孩子的妈妈每次一见到她的朋友就泪流满面，都会说同一句话：我的孩子太可怜了，生前从没过过一天好日子。每天都在读书，都在我们的督促下做各种他不喜欢的事情。另一个孩子的妈妈听了后，就感触良多：生命的变数太多了，我现在能每天看到这个孩子已经是天大的幸福。只希望能在有生之年，尽一切可能让孩子过的幸福。不把太多压力与期待放孩子身上，而放手让他自由快乐成长。谁也不知道，我还能拥有我的孩子多少年？
我们从来没想过意外的发生，我们也不愿意去想，这是我们无法承受的事情，祈求我们的 孩子健健康康，平平安安。我们能拥有我们的孩子多少年？或许，我们从来考虑过这个问题。

3岁，他去上幼儿园了，看着他小小的坚强的背影，心中又喜悦又有点小小的 心酸。离别了一整天，孩子看到你高兴得奔跑过来，扑在你的怀里。跟你说：妈妈，我想你了。那一刻，抱着孩子就像抱着了整个世界。

7岁，他上小学了，孩子终于走进校门，这 是多么值得纪念的事情，孩子的人生从此翻开了新的篇章，却没想到，这也是孩子离开我们的第一步。他已经对与你分开一天习以为常了，而且他喜欢每天去学校，这是他更喜欢的生活。甚至，他有时还会说：妈妈，在家好无聊，没有小朋友和我玩。

13岁，他上初中了，甚至有的开始上寄宿学 校，一个月或者几个月回一次家，见上一次面。他们开始不再依赖你，甚至，他们喜欢和你对着干。你想帮他们做点事情，他们说:妈妈，我自己来吧。突然觉得这句话让我 们觉得好失落，孩子是不是不再需要我们了？

18岁，他离开你去上大学，一年回来两次。回来的好几天前，家里的冰箱就装 不下了，为他准备了各种各样他喜欢吃的东西。可是一回来打个照面，他就忙着和同学朋友聚会去了。从此，你最怕听到的一句话是：妈妈，我不回家吃饭了，你们自己吃吧。

大学毕业后，孩子留在了远方工作，一年也难得回来一次了。好不容易回来一趟，几天就走了。你最盼望的就是孩子的电话，希望，孩子对你说一声：妈妈，我很好，你保重身体。这样就足够了。

孩子结婚了，回家的时间有一半分给了你的亲家，孩子回来得更少了。你已经习惯就老两口在家了，但是，你最希望听到孩子对你说：妈妈，今年过年我回家过啊！

当孩子又有了他们自己的孩子，你已经不再是他们的家庭成员了，他们的一家三口（或一家n口）里，已经不包括你们了。

而我们也慢慢的习惯了这样的日子。只是习惯在闲来无事的时候，经常翻翻相册，看看我们自己的一家三口，无论孩子身在何方，他却永远是我们家庭中无可取代的一员。

是啊，其实当孩子在身边的日子，我们是多么幸福。可是有时我们却还会抱怨。抱怨因为他，你做了太多的牺牲。抱怨他晚上老醒来，让你睡不好，抱怨他无理取闹，抱怨他爱撒娇长不大，抱怨他生病，让你操碎了心，抱怨为了培养他，花费了太多的精力与金钱...可是，如果你想想，10多年后，就算你想要，也没有机会了。孩子会不停的长大，过了这个时期他就再没有这个时期的习性。你是不是常常在他断奶后怀念喂他吃奶的日子，可是那时你却觉得好累好辛苦好厌倦。是不是常常看他以前吃手的照片觉得好可爱，可是你曾经却为要不停的给他洗手而烦恼透了。是不是在他褪去童声后，特别想念他曾经奶声奶气的声音，可是他以前撒娇的时候你却很不受用。是不是当孩子去上学后你特别怀念他黏在你身边的日子，可是以前你却总在想他要什么时候才能去上学啊。。。

时间无法倒流，过去了就只能永远过去了。孩子能呆在身边的日子是多么难得与宝贵。因为这一点，我更加的珍惜与孩子相处的每一刻，也让我无论遇到什么，都心存感恩。谢谢上天给我这么一个孩子，让我分享与见证他成长的每一刻。无论带给我多少困难、烦恼，甚至挫败，无论让我失去多少睡眠，时间，金钱，精力，我仍然豁达，因为，这都是上天的恩赐。

当他在身边的每一天，我都会让他觉得幸福，也是让我们都有一个美好的回忆。我不会给他太多压力，束缚，更不会给他牵绊，阻扰，但是我会适时管教，也会做量力而行的投资，因为我有责任与义务教会他生活的本领，好让他来日自由快乐的飞翔。同时，我也会告诉他，就算所有的路都行不通时，还有一条路你可以畅行，那就是回家的路。

Happy Children's Day

XX's childcare centre celebrate Children's Day on Thursday as they are closed on 1 Oct. See what the gal brought back today.

YY got her Children's' Day present too, given by her generous sis.

We visited Kids Kampong the next day.

XX missed an excursion trip by CC recently, every kids in CC brought their catched fishes with net + pail home except her. She almost burst out crying in CC & refuse to leave that evening. Mummy has promised that we will visit it soon.

So, this is a compensate trip to her.

O ya, we went to the wrong turn & end up in a fish farm instead, so we take a look at the various fish species too.

The koi fish tot we are feeding them, all rush out & opening their mouth.

They are too eager till splashing out the water & XX kena scared by them.

No matter how we coax her, she dun dare to go near the fish anymore.

We then proceed to our original plan venue - Kids Kampong.

Just a small area, but enough fun for our little one.

Since the fish are small, she is willing to play. Phew!

These are what we manage to catch in 1 hr, 5 small fishes.

We decided not to bring it back as i'm sure they can't survive.

We only bring back the net & pail as it's in the package.

While XX happily cathing her lokang fish, poor YY perspire outside the waiting area patiently.

After she has enough of fish catching, we enter to the small animal farm to feed the little animal,

For 2nd time, the scary koi fish splashes water again to our princess, while we trying to coax XX to approach them.

Needless to say, she reject getting near to ALL of them later one.

So, mummy gonna take the photos & show her in future. :<

Tired YY at the end of the day.
