Blah...!

Life's been pretty hectic and time flies too quickly. The days seems to role into one big blurr and every evening I plonk into bed "feeling my age and my aching bones".

The kids are no less innovative in their view of life and their responses to it. Mathena has now 80% success rate in the POO category of toilet training (for those interested to know!!) while her language repertoire is vastly increasing day by day. Am waiting for hotter days to launch into the full swing of toilet training for Mathena. Letitia on the other hand is really showing a lot of self control of late when handling her little sister. We can truly see her "softer" character when we watch the two of them play. It's amazing how much "surrending" the 4.5yo decidely does but we are seriously thinking of teaching them "conflict resolution" skills (too early?).

I tried to prop them in front of the tv after dinner tonight so that we can have a peaceful dinner but sadly by 6.15pm (Mon & Tues are the most tiring days for the two of them!) Mathena said "Night-night, TV!!" and promptly pursued her milk bottle. They were both ready for bed and by 7pm the zzzzzs have landed.

We'll be attending the concert of Watoto Children's Choir (African orphans who sang for world leaders) tomorrow. Will be good. Went last year and was impressed. My girls have been jamming and dancing to their music since then...so looking forward to it! Letitia might do her "show and tell" on them....for next week!

What going on! Sound like some robots were searching the blog for advertisement.

I am fine in Hong Kong, just a bit hot, due to another typhoon is approaching Taiwan. It is all sweat here. Did you follow the news about the hurricane in New Orleans? It is horrible there

My place is a mess now. Need to do a lot of tidy work.

I have relatives coming to visit over the weekends. Could be very busy. Then, I will arrange a time to visit Guangzhou next week.
