The two kids have been spending time with their grandma these past 10 days.

It’s great that they get to play and spend time with her considering that she lives in Jakarta and comes over to Singapore only about twice each year.

To me, I think kids’ sense of identity is further strengthened too when they get to know other members of the family well too … grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins …

Vai’s close to 6 weeks old now and this is one of his developmental milestones he showed since he was about 4 - 5 weeks.

Some friends wrote to me after reading my post a few days ago (you know, the one about Vai looking like Anya). And most said that Vai does look like Anya when she’s little…

Actually if I think about it there are times when Vai DOES look like Anya when she’s a baby. But many other times he just looks so different.

I do agree with everyone though who says that Vai’s look is ‘masculine’.

Anyway, here are photos of Anya and Vai. I just thought they look ‘quite similar’ in these photos.

See if you can tell which one is Anya and which one is the brother. Hehe.

Anya and I tried making this ‘jellyfish’ today (one of the ideas from Kids Craft Weekly).

But instead of cutting strips of clear plastic bags or using stuff bought at craft shops, I simply used white scrap paper, cut it to a few long strips and used it as the jellyfish’s dangly bits.

Other than cutting the paper, Anya did the rest. One hand holding the strip of paper, the other sticking it to the small paper plate.

I can see how she concentrated during the whole process. And how she learned to coordinate her tiny fingers.

After she completed the ‘jellyfish project’, I asked her to show it to everyone at home. She’s soo proud and sheepishly smiled to everyone.

Verbally praising her efforts in completing the project sure has encouraged her to create, try and do more in the future.
