2Y (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Kinder Nursery
Today, Yee was crying when she said goodbye to Daddy. She stopped crying immediately and was smiling as she sang. We went to the park. Yee played with the sand. Then she climbed up the slide. Yee was at the top of the slide and I called her from the bottom. I helped and Yee was able to slide on her own.
On Our Way Home
After I parked our bicycle below our apartment, Yee did not want to get down. She sat on the bike and continued to eat her banana. I decided not to rush her and let her ate while I stood beside the bike, guarding her (in case the bike lost balance).

Daddy and I have remembered what a lady told us back in Singapore last April. She has two sons and shared with us that she whenever she brought her boys to the toy department, she never rushed them. Her reasoning was that if she wanted her sons to be patiently shipping with her in future, she must be patient 'shopping' with them at the toy department too. Her words left a deep impression upon us.

Daddy has been showing a great example in never rushing Yee to "go-here, go-there". May it be at the toy department, or stopping to look at flowers, ants, etc while walking, Daddy always let Yee take time to explore her surroundings. Mummy still has a lot to learn from Daddy. Mummy is always rushing :-(
