Mind me, Yeh-Yeh's creations are mind blowing (will try to capture some pictures of it next time round). Yeh-Yeh teaches both how to stack stuff like helicopter, trucks, robots, race cars, castles, princesses (a little robotic looking but really there are differences to each of it!) , animals, etc. Yeh-Yeh even teaches them how to lay-out a train of flat wooden blocks to make 'DOMINOS'!!! They were impressed & was super excited about it!
We also have LEGO blocks (just for Kiersten at the moment since it is in small bits sizes) & also LEGO-looking blocks (bigger blocks size to avoid eating / chewing / swallowing) as an alternative to wooden blocks.
Both Kiersten & Christian had been exposed to BLOCKS since they were both less than a year old and they both love it. And we certainly love it too since it encourages creative play :)
Yeh-Yeh is certainly good with handy craft! I guess because he is from an era where kids need to 'make' their own toys for play. So unlike now, 'Fisher Price' ... boooohhhh!
What Yeh-Yeh had made so far:
+ Home Made Tang-lung (Chinese Lantern for Moon Cake Festival)
+ Animals Paper Origami
+ Kite
Kiersten & Christian love kite flying with Yeh-Yeh on weekends coz the kite does really fly high, high up in the sky. Unlike, when Dada is the one that is flying the kite, we will all need to have double efforts to have the kite fly, leave alone sore high :P Effort like hoping and running around like orang GILA whilst pushing the kite upwards to make it fly (and even with all the effort, the kite will only be up and down even before you can blink your eyes :P HAhahaha ... nevertheless we all had great FUN! In fact the kids finds it more entertaining and hilarious running about like orang gila than having the kite up super fast and just kept staring up at the kite. During those moments, i guess Yeh-Yeh had a moment stolen back to his childhood days and having a light moment just for himself :)
Yeh-Yeh will also bring Christian out every morning for an early morning stroll by the lake. He will always have a loaf of bread with them to feed the fishes by the lake which Christian love most. Kiersten can't join in most morning since she have to prep for school. But she always remind Yeh-Yeh to wake her up on weekends to bring her along.
Chris & i ... certainly appreciate his time, effort and most importantly love he showers upon Kiersten & Christian. Their moments, experience, and encounters with Yeh-Yeh will not be replaceable. And they certainly have the luxury of such moments in comparison to Dada when he was young (Yeh-Yeh needs to work when Dada was young ... just like most of us 'Parents'). It reflects upon me now that i am blogging this post ... 'does that means, we will sorta neglect the precious moments with Kiersten & Christain during their growing up years and instead have more stollen moments with their chidlren?' .... we certainly hope not ... We will TRY not to have history repeats itself ....
