When they are not fighting... they do look cute, reading together.

READING

Zhen reading a Noddy story to her 4yo sister and her 5mo cousin sister.

 

Reading tips from Reading with Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers 

"Expose your little one to as many words as possible FROM BIRTH by talking, pointing out details of the world, and reading books OF ALL KINDS.  Remember, children who have never heard certain words, seen those words, or come into context with them, can have difficulty knowing what those words mean (or how to spell them) once they begin school and new words and concepts are presented in books and lessons everyday."

BONDING

19 September 2011, Monday

I was cutting Min's fingernails when she kissed me on the cheek out of a sudden.

This makes me recalled what a friend once told me.  She said she enjoyed cutting fingernails for his son, even though he knows how to do it by himself.  She said she enjoyed the BOND that is there.
Sooner or later, there will come a day when they (our children) will not want us to cut their fingernails or bathe them anymore.  Why not do these things for them now, when they still want us doing stuff for them?

I seldom bathe Zhen as I kept telling her that she's old enough to do it by herself.  But when I do bathe her (once in a while)... YES! I do enjoy that special BOND!
