We are less busy this summer compared to the previous ones. I decided to just enroll Rem into one activity (Art class) because it’s so hard to be out most of the time with such summer heat that we have (almost) everyday. Even before summer began, I already had rules and activities to be done . How about you, do you have special rules and activities for your kids this time? Since it’s just the two of us, her tasks are clear: she has to fix our bed upon getting up since she’s the last one to rise, she also has to set the table for our meals, and help me out with other chores or kiddie errands around our tiny place. I am so happy that she is able to do these pretty well, without complaint. When it comes to TV watching and playing videogames, I am not so strict on her because this is just the right time to be generous to her with such activities. Yes, she finally got an Ipad after almost a year of asking for it. We (and hubby) just agreed that this is the best time, so, she won’t be so into it anymore when school begins. It would be easier to regulate usage of it by then. I also make sure she reads a book (In Filipino) everyday, so she’ll improve on the said subject both in reading and in comprehension. I hope this season will be just as fun and fruitful as the past ones. Let us enjoy the summer.
