While lying on the bed during bedtime,
Mummy to Kyan : "I love you, baby."
Kyan : " My name is Kyan, not baby! It's K for Kyan, not B for baby!"

Mother's Day
We celebrated on Friday when we went to Swenson's for dinner. Everyone, including Rayden, was happy. Kyan had his favourite banana split ice-cream and Rayden had a bit of everything -baked rice, spaghetti, french fries and ice cream! He was so happy that he was all smiles for the whole night.
Asri surprised me on Sunday by whipping out a mother's day cake that he bought from Swiss Bake. That's quite sweet of him. Now I better start intensive exercise...

Worry...
Just this morning, I've gotten news that one of the boys in my class had bullied his classmate last wekk. Apparently he banged his friend's head on the table, poked and his eyes and punched him. All these from a P4 boy. The victim's parents came to school this morning with an x ray of their child's head.
Thoroughout my years in teaching, I've encountered many bullying cases. And I wonder why children behave like that nowadays. There are pupils who are autistic, ADHD, bullies, have anger management issues, etc. The list goes on. What is the problem with kids now?
I fear for my kids should they enter Primary school. How do I have to teach or educate them so that they get along fine with their classmates? Social skills are so important that without it, children, no matter how bright they are, can't function normally. Pupils in the best class face different problems from those in the average-ability classes. Even if my child has the "right" values, they might not be able to get along with their classmates.
When Kyan was bitten in school by his classmate, Asri's and my mum's reaction was, "Beat her back!" That is certainly not the right way but is it fair that my child gets bullied and not retaliate?
I really worry for my children. I must start reading related books now.

Do you love me?
This was what happened when both Asri and Kyan went to fetch Rayden.
Kyan was walking behind his daddy when he asked, "Daddy, do you love me?"
Asri replied, "Yes, of course I love you".
Kyan : "If you love me, then you must carry me".
