My Rocking Cradle

My Firstborn has settled down with our daily English Kumon schedule. I feel that he is ready to add another undertaking so I asked hubby if we could add Math Kumon to his daily schedule.
So, here we are:

The same Kumon teacher will be supervising him every Tuesdays for English and Math. The rest of the [...]

It’s Little Dynamo’s 2 weeks spring vacation.
Our house is a mess of toys and books. Some days we go out with friends. Some days we are at a friend’s house or at the building’s playroom. Some days friends are in the house. But all the mornings, we spend inside the house.
It’s a battle between me picking [...]

It’s amazing to see milestones after milestones of babies.
I was particularly amazed at my Little Dynamo’s development. He was a very active baby with very fast physical, emotional and intellectual development. When I became pregnant with my Baby Dynamo, I promised myself never to make his older brother’s development a benchmark for his development. I’m [...]

Little Dynamo and friend had a great time watching the English musical, ”The Little Dragon”, yesterday afternoon at the LATT Children’s Theatre in Gangnam.
“The Little Dragon” is a production of the LATT Children’s Theatre, the only English repertory company here in Korea. The production’s last performance was today.
Baby Dynamo could not get inside the theatre as the show is [...]

Thanks for the free tickets, Cathy!
One weekend, we decided to bring Little Dynamo (and Baby Dynamo, of course - though he can’t understand a thing yet) to Samsung Children’s Museum in Songpa-gu, Sincheon-dong for our weekend date.
It’s a good place to bring kids to. Kids will have a lot of fun without the feeling of [...]

Have you ever felt the urge to display your kid’s artwork? I’m sure every parent does.
I am the sentimental type so it is not surprising that I keep even those seemingly trivial objects for posterity. I find reasons to keep pieces of remembrance.
But Little Dynamo loves to write and draw anywhere (not on our the walls, thanks!). Those [...]

Baby Dynamo bid goodbye to his sippy cups last June 14.

Since then, we didn’t go back to the convenience of the sippy cups. We are dealing with the mess and the spills but we are intent on moving forward.
It was just like with my Little Dynamo. I started using a sippy cup for his water [...]

Little Dynamo went home last Friday with a Korean flag and a Red Devil’s horn. He was so excited he told me he will shout “Daehanminguk” (Korea).  We all know now that Korea won over Greece 2:0 last Saturday night.
My toddler was proud of his flag and his horn. He was prouder when he showed [...]

The Directress in Little Dynamo’s pre-school called me last week. Little Dynamo was crying and cannot be consoled. He wanted mommy and he wanted to go home. On the way home, I asked him why he was crying.

“I don’t like ballet”, he said.
I actually felt relieved when he said that. His daddy didn’t want him [...]

I love to entertain. I love inviting people.
I’m glad I got the chance to do just that before I leave for Seoul again. I arranged for a swimming party in the house for Little Dynamo’s classmates.

Attendance was more than I expected. Some older siblings of his classmates were brought by their mommies. A number of teachers [...]
