Tonight Issac packed his own daycare bag by himself. This made Annabelle too, seeing what her big brother doing, she too, also start to fold her own blanket. Haha…
Sometimes, it is really true that the elder child in the house will lead the younger siblings, so you have to teach your eldest child good, so that the younger siblings will follow the example of their elder brother or sister.
Mummy was busy writing the blog, Annabelle was laying on the floor with her favourite blanket, then Issac brought over a sunflower to me, and said,” Mummy, I give you this flower. I love you.” Then, he kissed my face.
I was so touched…speechless…”Mummy love you too…”
Today our family went to a Shopping Mall and found out some toys that might be interesting to the kids. And, fun to play with too! I do not know how to describe it but it is a rubber kind of materials that make it flexible to play with.
Both Issac and Annabelle are happy to play with it.
Mummy intended to grow mung bean seeds for a week project.
Mung beans is locally known as Green Beans.
It was a new experience for the kids and Mummy was giving the instructions to them through my experiences and memories.
As I can remember, our teacher did ask us to do a project like this at home during schooling time.
Furthermore, this growing seedling project has taught the children about plants required water, cotton and a little sunshine to grow well.
Here us what we did together for our little science project:
They place some mung beans separately and leave some space among the seeds. Mummy reminded them to give a little space between the mung beans to grow.
After that, sprinkle some water onto the cotton and make sure the cotton is wet but do not flood the whole container.
Eventually, we leave both containers at the kitchen window by the sink area.
It is easier as whenever both kids wash their hands, they are able to see their mung bean seeds.
Mummy have to remind both Issac and Annabelle to remember to water the green beans ever day and give some sunshine by placing the container near the window still.
1st Day – 14 Nov 2010
Still nothing come out yet. Just follow the instructions and set for the day.
Annabelle’s was more beans than Issac’s as she was grabbing a handful of green beans and threw it inside the cup.
Issac was more obedient and just put a few green beans.
We were able to see the little seedlings growing from the green beans.
The sprouts were all pushing out from the green shells and wanted to come out and see the sunlight!
We got a little but surprise as Annabelle’s growing faster than Issac’s. May be it was due to the competition of more green beans in Annabelle’s cup.
We were able to see little seedlings growing from the green beans, pushing out the green shells more and more.
The roots started to grow down to the cotton to obtain the water and the leaves were trying to grow upwards for the sunlight!
4th Day – 17th Nov 2010
Suddenly the little seedlings started to sprout and the stems, branches and leaves came out so fast!
Both Issac and Annabelle were so fascinated seeing that happened!
Mummy told both kids to water the mung bean seedlings daily and to make sure the plants have some little sunshine by placing them near the window stills.
5th Day – 18th November 2010
All were grown up so fast!
Both were obedient, diligently make sure his responsibilities were done before heading for school.
Issac even scolded his sister for touching his seedlings, fear that the plant may die the next day.
Both were happy for their little plants.
And it was not yet reached 7 days, the green beans had been transformed into a little green plant.
The stems growing stronger from fragile stems to firmer stems. Eventually, after few days, the little plants grows taller and it started to die off of its own.
Well, it was a good experience for both kids and they did a great job on this assignment! 
Today Issac build a tank truck!
This boy of mine really amazed me every time. He can create anything out of nothing! Just from a piles of the bricks, he can build so many creative things out!
I am so blessed to have him as my son, and it is an honour for me to be his Mummy. I know he is a gifted child from God to us, as I have the privilege to accompany him and see him grow up to be a good man.
Here comes 2nd Term Assessment Progress Report for both kids.
Well, some improvements for both and Bravo for both Issac and Annabelle!
