Kim used to fret when her previous Chinese teacher blew bubbles in class. I found this very odd since I thought all kids loved bubbles?
So, to "cure" her of this (mom's way to "normalise" to kid. oops. controlling.....), I wanted to get hold of a bottle of bubble solution and blow them with her so that she would be less frightened of them. I wanted to buy a bottle but Peen was very insistent that he would be able to make the solution and didn't want to pay money for a bottle.
Well, he did make a solution and it did work. Yes, it did......for a while (one session actually) before it became this thick solution that just made the floors slippery with no bubbles to chase after. So that wasn't very fun.
Peen wanted to make another solution and we did research on the internet and found out we had to use glycerin. But we checked out so many places (ok, maybe just 3-4) and could not find it. In the end, I got tired of waiting and searching so I just bought a bottle. Only $0.70! Should have done so earlier.
Somehow, she now likes them and would endlessly be telling us about baabbooo when she sees anything that resembles them! She has been cured!
Here is Kim holding onto her own bottle. Very gleeful too.
Oooohh. Happily, she chases them. Occasionally, she would walk into them and try to head butt them instead.
Look how much concentration goes into bubbles chasing!
Oh, and then the little heartland girl would do her bit to keep Sengkang clean. She would weed the playground and pick up dried leaves and pass them to papa.
Mommy would become the merry go round. Kim would hold onto my hand and run circles around me, squealing away. :)
