Siblings sleeping together

As I'm writing, my kids are still singing and laughing and talking. And they've been doing that for the past hour. AND it's past midnight.

It's not great that they're still up so late, but it's such precious bonding time between them I'm reluctant to end it. Christen was singing to Lauren. Then she taught her some new vocabulary words.

Here's one of the conversations that transpired ( i can hear them from my room):
Christen: Say 'eskimo', Lauren.
Lauren: Keepmo.
Christen (bursts out in laughter): No, 'eskimo'.
Lauren: Keepmo. Mummy.
Christen: Mommy is a keepmo!

Both of them burst out in laughter.

Think I need to go make them sleep now...

Ballet Under the Stars

We were blessed with tickets to Ballet Under the Stars, and got to enjoy a stellar performance for free! The weather was perfect, and we had an awesome spot right in the front of the stage. Two pretty ladies behind us supplied the kids with cherries, and Christen went to the stage to sing Happy Birthday to Singapore Dance Theatre and got a nice red T-shirt which she calls her nightgown. :) Lauren was engaged throughout the whole performance and loved to watch the ballerinas.

On the way home, Christen said, " Thank you for taking me to Ballet Under the Stars. I really liked it."

A wonderful family night of music and dance under the stars. Am still savouring the memory.

Don't let your child be a Kangaroo
