8 Reasons Why SC Is A Cool Dad

Here are 8 reasons why SC is a pretty darn cool dad.

1. He's pretty hands-on with OB
Diaper-changing, bottle feeding, rocking him to sleep, etc etc etc. You name it, he's done it.
He is great at multitasking too.
As you can obviously see in this picture below...

And those muscles are pretty handy when he needs to carry OB around. Until now.

2. He shows OB that it's cool to be naughty and silly.
There's nothing wrong with making a fool of yourself.

And it's ok to be naughty, you just have to make up for it somewhere else and own what you've done.

3. He'll always have OB's back.

PS. Son, it's ok for dudes to get their toe nails polished.

4. He's OB's first co-conspirator, his partner in crime.

Obviously, conspiring against mama. Hmpfh.

5. He's OB's toughest coach.
Life is tough, son.
So, you gotta be tougher.


6. He shows OB how it's done.
He leads by example.
He didn't mind getting his ass thoroughly kicked in a taekwondo competition; ending up with a broken wrist, because he wanted to show OB that winning doesn't come easy.


Be passionate about what you love.
In whatever you do, give it all you got.
Don't do a half-ass job.

7. He teaches OB confidence.
Work hard for what you want, and when you got it, don't be afraid to flaunt it.
Always put your best foot forward.
Or it's probably just mama's excuse to put up this picture. Don't waste mah...

Pretty much nothing great in life comes easy.
This is what it takes to get that chiseled figure.

Plus, he passes on his good genes to OB.
See? Like father, like son.

8. He teaches OB kindness and generosity.
SC is no saint. He's pretty selfish most of the time. But deep down, there's kindness and he's really generous to those he cares about. I'm glad he passes them on to OB.

OB played violin in front of a crowded MTR exit to raise fund for drought victims in Ethiopia. It was so heartwarming to see how others' enthusiasm in supporting what he's doing. All credits went to SC who orchestrated this and encouraged OB to do it. SC taught OB that there's more to life than toys and if we could use our abilities to help others, we should.


Babi, you're our superhero (when you're not annoying).

MISSHA & OliveYoung Korean Sheet Masks

A fine Sunday afternoon after we went for an intense session of strawberry picking and shopping...

SC got these Korean face mask sheets from his colleagues and he wanted to get our little family to play with them. Of course OB very gladly obliged heheheh.

He promptly took a bath with dad in record speed, combed his hair nicely (ahem, because photos!) and placed himself on the bed for dad to help him with the mask. He wanted to be Shrek (don't ask...), so dad let him try OliveYoung x Dreamworks Shrek Hydrogel Mask.

We're pretty sure he didn't need the face mask...but we let him have fun with it for a while. He was really excited, he barely moved. That's a rare occasion for an active 5 year old boy. Heheheh.

SC picked MISSHA's animal mask - tiger.

OB's mask barely fit his tiny face. Heheheh.

Mama picked MISSHA's animal mask panda!
After the mask, our skin felt thoroughly moisturized, and in my case, my skin went lighter (WHAT exactly did they put in the panda mask??). After playing with the face masks we all had a very good Sunday nap. Heheheh.

So what did you do last weekend?

Cute Easter Bunny Crafts for Kids

Easter Craft & Easter Chocolate
Here's what we made for OB's Easter arts & crafts  homework. A paper cup Easter bunny family!

Easter Craft & Easter Chocolate
I surely designed the mom (me) to be the cutest! Ahem.
Rosy cheeks & on-trend skirt ftw ^_^
I am super guilty of not letting OB touch this one apart from coloring the ears and sticking the ears and "hands" on the paper cup.

Easter Craft & Easter Chocolate
This cutie pie is the kid (OB). OB colored this one (we used water color) and stuck the ears and hands.
Please excuse the mistake on the nose.

Easter Craft & Easter Chocolate
The bunny dad's pretty special. He has a permanent angry expression on his face and he's holding a teeny tiny wire hanger. It doesn't mean that SC is super domestic and always does the laundry, but it is something SC uses to threaten to spank OB with when he's naughty (SC doesn't really spank him laa - he only spanks the furniture), and OB requested me to make the tiny wire hanger as the bunny dad's "accessory".

Ahem. This story will not make a great impression of us at school (or anywhere). But it is the truth.
T_T

So, here's our little happy easter bunny family!
Easter Craft & Easter Chocolate

Since the school requires us to make something we can hang, I made a tiny cross on top of the bunny's heads with cutter and string them together using a leftover shoelace. Make a knot under each hole to make them stay put.

What you'll need:

  • Paper cups
  • Fairly thick paper (we used an unused box)
  • Colorings (water color/marker/pencil/crayon)
  • Glue
  • Some sort of string/ribbon
  • Any "accessories" from unused items
Parents tips:
Try to involve the kids as much as possible, I am 100% guilty of not keeping OB involved in drawing the faces. He is actually capable of drawing faces, they will only be a tad zombie-like. 


Anyway,
Happy crafting!
Make something cute :)
