I learnt from them

I learnt from my little ones and I am still learning from them everday. Being a SAHM has given me the opportunity to grow... The biggest lesson that I have learnt is FORGIVENESS. They are ever so forgiving. No matter how hard I've reprimanded them for their mistakes after their punishment they will continue to be nice to me.

Today when JH came back from preschool I had a full 30 mins of struggle to put him at the punish corner. I didn't give in to his beggings not to be put at the corner and cries. Sometimes I do feel that I am very hard on my kids. After 30 mins, he gave in and sat at the punish corner still crying away softly. After the whole episode, my little one is back to his usual self and started smiling again. Plus, he asked for his 2nd serving of milk after the first 240ml! For adults like me, I believe I cannot be like him after such an episode... I would still be sulking away if I were him with no appetite!

There is another good one from YS:
One afternoon days after my dad's funeral, the radio was on and a piece of slow song was broadcasted while the kids and I were playing. Suddenly, YS ran towards the radio and changed the station and I have never taught her how to change the channel. I asked her what happened? She said 'I don't want you to cry...' huh? I was confused then, I asked 'Why?'. She said 'The song sounds so sad...' I shared this with a close friend and she complimented that I have a smart kid, I should learn from her! She said 'YS understands that when one is unhappy just change the channel that is to change the unhappy thought to a happy one.' Sound so simple but I wasn't aware of this until YS demonstrated to me...

My dear daughter is a very sensitive girl. After seeing me being so upset over the lost of my daddy... Whenever she sees I am sad she will ask me 'Are you going to cry?'...
