Our Homeschool Room

One of my most awaited part of the day is when my preschooler takes his nap. As I’ve mentioned a lot of times, it’s only during his nap time that I can homeschool my daughter since he has tons of energy and mostly distracts our class. But lately, I’ve noticed that everytime I put him in for his nap, I also feel groogy and sleepy. So, I ended up taking a nap with him. Yes, I can’t forgive myself for being a ‘bad’ homeschool teacher. But thankfully, my daughter still did some homeschool work while I was napping. I was just wasn’t there to supervise. Next... 

My daughter had very strange dreams lately. A couple of times she woke up and was just crying while taking her breakfast. When I asked her what’s wrong, she related to me a very bad dream. Her dream was about someone died. I had to reassure her that dreams are just dreams and unreal.

All the best to the artist wannabe..... 

Our boy loves to build .. and tear things apart as well. I guess he does that out of curiousity of how things are made. A few times he broke his toy , curiously ‘studied’ the parts and confidently told me, ‘Don’t worry, Amma! I’m going to fix it!”. But how to fix it when it’s all in pieces?! Ahhhhh!!.. hehehe! But then, when it comes to ‘designing’ his city, houses, building and robots with his blocks, he’s quite good with it.
