children

had a good time wif them yesterday. played snap, guessing game wif them. felt that young children, although young, cannot lose, also want to cheat. mabel has been losing in the snap, basically she is not as agile as her brother, so there was once when the brother snap, she retrieve back her card and say, 'not the same, so cannot snap.' u can imagine marcus' frustration. and both are as stubborn as me. always having little tiff wif one another.

i know mabel likes to provoke marcus by touching his things and stuff like that, then marcus will shout at mabel. there was once i caught marcus shouting, i asked him, 'why are u so angry?' then he came running to me and said in between sobs, 'i dun like mabel.' well, even tho i dun like him to shout, but at least i felt that he's letting his anger out, no good to keep it inside and let it grow into hatred.

and both of them are such night creatures. so sleepy in the day and lethargic, but come nite time, so difficult to make them sleep. last nite, juz before sleeping, still reading books and having some phonics training. and they actually have a song, 'what is the sound of the letter a? air air air.' and yes, they sang all the way from a-z and it's like almost close to midnite already.

mabel is funny. she always blinks her eyes, look so innocent to get something. and when u scold her or raise a little of your voice or juz stare at her with those fierce eyes, tears will well up in her eyes, and she will start crying. melts my heart everytime she does this.

marcus makes his grandma buy him thomas the train already. i tell you, his assets, (cars + trains) easily add up to 50 plus. i always say, he should arrange his cars in rows and we can start counting how many cars + trains he has. yesterday he bought 'toby' and 'diesel' that's 2 more addition to his trains and cars. and the funny thing is, he's not tired of the cars and trains. he can play wif them for hours.
