Hope YK will be strong! and knows Mummy loves him.<br /><br />I will always remember my swimming coach who promised to buy me chocolates cos I finished a lap but he never brought me those chocolates. To this day, I will remember that whatever I promise Jesse, Chara, Julien to do or buy, I must do it. Otherwise, better to keep mouth shut..!!<br />On Monday, I promised them that we will go and look for the Cars and Charlie & Lola magazine... we did and Jesse was so happy (the twins took the mag but I guess they're a bit young to understand.) and he turned and told me "Mummy, I am so happy. Thank you, Mummy." He spent the whole afternoon reading it and playing with the cards...Vivien Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907774998438198311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-35404465215939317072010-04-30T10:38:32.573-07:002010-04-30T10:38:32.573-07:00It's true about making promises to kids.

When I was about 13 years old (if I remember correctly), I promised my bro about taking him to see a movie, but then my friends decided to go there, so I went to watch it with them instead. At that time he was still too young to go to the movies himself and I found him crying. My Mom told me that I shouldn't have promised to go there with him if I couldn't keep it. I'll NEVER forget what my Mom told me 'coz I don't want to break my brother's heart - or anybody's for that matter.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-14458083758068333312010-04-29T21:37:45.753-07:002010-04-29T21:37:45.753-07:00Kaye - Oh dear.

So I happily "cycled" down the stairs!<br /><br />The crash, screams and tears tt followed remain one of my earliest memories.<br /><br />My mother never 4got that lesson either: never answer a child's question carelessly!auntieluciahttp://singaporegirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-28816712439136199872010-04-29T02:12:49.589-07:002010-04-29T02:12:49.589-07:00Hi Malar, thanks for reading my blog.
