Not everything is gloom

I have a less than ideal life, and a less than ideal family.  BUT, how many on earth has a perfectly ideal situation right?

In the midst of glooms in my life, I’m thankful that God didn’t test me beyond what I can bear.  As mentioned in my previous entry, E has done us proud.

Today, another incident which really caused my chin to be raised up high.

Incident 1

Was at the paed for Z’s long overdue jab.  While I was discussing Z’s jabs schedule with the paed, E was playing with a toy on the paed’s table and making a lot of noise.  I looked at him and requested that he keep his noise volume down cause I had something to discuss with the doctor.

E replied, “Yes mummy.” And he kept his voice really low since than.

Doc stared at me and said, “So obedient ah!”

Incident 2

At the end of the consultation and jab, doc gave Z 2 small packs of gummies.  She told Z that she could share the gummies with her bro when she is ready.

Z immediately gave E one pack of the gummies without hesitation.

E promptly said, “Thank you Zoe.”

Z replied, “You are welcome Gor Gor.”

Doc was impressed by the mannerlism and generosity displayed by the siblings.

Praise::: IMPORTANT!!!

Parents reading my blog… this is IMPORTANT:::

To encourage good behaviour, remember to praise your children as soon as you can.

After seeing the doc, while we were lunching, I told the siblings how proud I was with their behaviour and told them to keep up with the good work.

And of course, they both beamed with joy and pride.
