Peeling Apple Skin

Ryan wanted to eat apple and he took out the apples from the fridge, four of them, he counted “one for Popo, one for Mummy, one for Ryan, one for Ian”.  And he wanted to peel the skin, so I showed him a little kitchen tool, apple peeler, first I thought he wanted to play and surprisingly he’s able to peel the skin.

Cake Baking with Kids

I let the kids help.  After all, it is pretty much “just” measuring and mixing.  Great for kids learn about numbers and following instructions.  Besides, the boys, ADORE breaking eggs!

Ian and Ryan did a great job, along with Mummy's helping hand.

Fell down on the Road

In the evening, we happily walked to the playground, Ryan ran, tripped and fell on the tar road, lied and facing down.  He was crying, the right knee and left arm were scratched and bleeding, and minor scratched on the palm.  I told him it's alright and we continued walked towards to playground.  Of course, he cried during the bath time, I washed the wounds and applied antiseptic cream for him.

This little boy held my hand and said:
Ryan:  Mummy, pray for me?
Mom:  Ok, sure...

Picnic at Sg Congkak

Vennessa invited us to picnic at Sg Congkak, Hulu Langat, they've been there many times, we've a same thought that we should bring our kids to explore more to the nature frequently.  It was the first time for us to going out for a picnic.  And I told the kids about picnic and they're so excited.  

Upon arrival, we'll need to pay RM3 for parking fee and RM1 for the entrance fee.  Then, unloaded all the stuff, walked in to find a nice place.

We did a simple set up on the floor, made ourselves comfortable.  We prepared simple food like fried meehoon, curry chicken, bread, salad, fruits, and beverages.  We're there from 11am to 3:30 pm, it's a good place to chat and spacious place for the kids to play around.  The kids had their fun time in the river catching fishes, catching butterflies, playing water gun, etc  Of course, for the city boys, there're crying not to go into the water and complaining the feet were dirty, etc.
