care and concern

I had a minor cut on my toe that day. Brandon ran to get tissue and said "u must press very hard and hold, then there will be no blood". Soon after, he went to take another tissue and wet it, then passed to me and told me to wipe the blood away.
Brian then came with his favourite fruit sticker and helped me paste it over my toe..
Kept coming to my room to check on me.. and each time he brought in a bear for me to cuddle and one to put between by big toe and 2nd toe so i would feel better. Then i heard say this when he went out of my room " dun make noise ok.. mama has pain.." I was touched.. by the first aid that came and the subsequent tender loving care.. haha

Simple pleasures in life



Pop in the Box.. it was fun to do this by ourselves
Brandon was happy just to hear the popping in the microwave

not too sweet.. a much healthier version

and Brandon's all time favourite Milo
That will just make his day..
Oh. the simple pleasures in life.

An artistic Sunday



Sunday Art class
This week's teaching is on Van Gogh
Brandon's artwork based on Van Gogh's starry night

Brian has always been very shy.. and it is really great that he is willing to present his artpiece and talk abt it during gallery time

Brian's version of starry night... spiral wind, stars and a moon

Then to paragon to see Stephen Wilshire

As Brandon was sick on the day the school organised a field trip to see Stephen Wilshire.. he was glad that he was able to come after all... A little about Stephen Wilshire..he was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old, he is is acclaimed for his astounding ability to draw detailed cityscapes from memory after viewing them once.So here he is at Paragon to sketch the spore cityscape from memory after viewing the spore skyline on an hour long helicopter ride.

updates on art lessons


Brandon has attended a few art lessons and has enjoyed it thus far

He is also very enthusiastic about presenting his art work to the class (children and parents) and always wanted to be the first to present.

And Brian finally wanted to join the art class. I was a bit hesitant.. but he enjoyed the trial class and behaved himself as promised, so i signed him up. At the end when i asked the teacher if the 2 brothers were disruptive in class, they assured me that siblings are usually not allowed to sit together and they have been well behaved, and even helped the yonger classmates. When brian heard that, he told me "see i told you rite? I promised you.." Ok,.. so he shall join his brother at the art class...

The day has come..


Yes.. the day has come
Brian finished the whole "gong" and wanted to take the other one as well
The day has come.. when we have no more "gong' to eat...
