The previous summer was the first time that we did not go to Davao to visit my in-laws. But, it became our busiest Summer yet.
Kite Flying
It started with the kids and I going to Capitol Grounds to fly kites with some friends.
Early Morning Walk
The following week, my son and I began a three-times weekly early morning walk which we both found enjoyable and exhilarating. Sometimes we even do a fourth walk because my son asks for it.
Worksheets
Every day I let my kids answer worksheets that I get online. The worksheet thing all started since my son was in preschool. When my daughter started learning how to hold a pencil I also began to let her do some tracing and coloring which made my browser bookmark overflow. I decided to make a website to make my collection more organized and hopefully make other moms online search easier.
Origami
When my son was still two years old, I bought the biggest origami book I could find at National Bookstore. I wanted to do something fun and creative for both of us. When he turned 3 years old, I enrolled him in nursery and the book was forgotten. A year later, it was summer and I was very busy with my online writing when I handed him the book to keep him occupied. Using the used worksheet bond papers he started doing origami every thing on his own. Everytime he asks me what something means I would just answer, "I don't know because I don't know origami." So he figured everything on his own.
At first it was the easy ones: paper crane, frog, fish, easy boxes and others.
Fast forward to today, these were some of his latest:
Verdis Vase
Mouse
Heart Box
Wentworth Dish
Waterlily
Spanish Box
Twist Box
Lambeosauros
He also made a rabbit and a turtle but both were flattened by his sister before I could take snaps. I don't ask him to make an origami, I just wait until he will show something to me. But sometimes, he forgets that's why it will end up not added to my origami pic collection.
