Every weekend, the boys follow their daddy around to run a few errands, go swimming, attend birthday parties or head to the factory for a few hours of indoor fun.
At the factory, they usually occupy themselves by drawing, playing Lego or watching a DVD of their choice. Sometimes they fool around in the cube house which E brought along or rearrange the empty boxes that they find lying around into tunnels and caves etc..
Once in a while, they also helped daddy out by doing little odd jobs. Just like last weekend when M helped to put together a 100 packs of something, for which he was paid $0.01 per pack. Umm... the boy was not too impressed that he earned only $1 after the 100 packs. So the next time, he shall ask for a minimum wage of $0.05 per pack! Hee hee...
I'm grateful and relieved that E has managed to work out the perfect babysitting arrangement while I teach for a few hours in the weekend. By creating this little haven for the boys, he also get to spend time on his 'project'. Simply brilliant!
Here is a gorgeous piece which my 4 years old spent close to an hour on at daddy's factory last weekend.
They had brought along the DVD to watch that day. According to E, while M was busy 'working' on the assigned job, N set his mind on reproducing the picture of Christopher Robin. He didn't tell anyone there, but just sat quietly focusing on his self-initiated task.
The finished product is awesome! Ok, C.R. looks a little deformed but the drawing is still awesome to us. :D Parents are entitled to be biased and I will be quick to admit that we are being biased here.
What we feel is even more commendable is the effort he has put in and the tenacity he displayed to try his best at drawing and colouring it.
Marvellous job, little boy!
