So my labours are not in vain
So engrossed in studying was he, that he did not know that I had taken a photo.
Miracles do happen. Tomorrow is Elias’ SA2 Science paper and he is studying for it.
This was taken earlier this year. Elias and I were working on Chinese.
We went on a family picnic and I brought some of their work along,
so I could coach them in between their play.
If you were my child, I bet you would have this attitude :
“My mother is constantly pushing me so hard,
why should I work hard on my own?”
We had gone through some Science papers (initiated by me) and he was supposed to sleep early. But while he was on his bed, and I was reading to Samuel, he asked me what topics he is weak in. I told him ‘Cells’ and thought nothing of it.
When I got up from Samuel’s bed, a beautiful sight greeted me – he was flipping through his Science Booster trying to find the chapter on ‘Cells’, but not succeeding. What would a mother do in such a situation? She would quickly get the information on ‘Cells’ and pass it to him! So I did. He was delighted and diligently started reading it. I thought I was in heaven. I sat next to him, and watched him study.
This is “Pebble”! This is the first time I have seen it sleeping. It looked so cute.
Elias is very diligent in feeding it and taking care of it.
(We could not tell whether it is a male or female. So it is ‘it’ for now).
As parents, there is nothing that pleases us more than to see our children reach maturity – to understand important values like gratitude, kindness and hard work. We are anxious for them to learn the lessons, and on bad days, we wonder whether they will ever learn.
