Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

We’ve been wanting to get the kids to move into their own room, but finding the ‘right time’ to do it proves to be a little bit more difficult than we’ve first expected.

Until last Saturday, anyway.

The aircon men came and did some 8-hours worth of fixing and drilling. We moved quite a lot of our things around the place, and our home ended up really messy and dusty.

Now. When we re-arranged everything and cleaned up our home, we went ahead and arranged THEIR room and moved some of their things into it, like their drawer full of storybooks and toy boxes.

Being the bigger sister who can already understand certain things, we told her about our plan and she’s very happy about the move!

[We completely had NO idea how Vai would ‘react’ to the change though]

Apparently, everything went pretty well. Much to our relief.

The kids jumped on their ‘new’ beds, played and read books together. It was as if they’ve been sleeping in that room for some time already.

Oh btw, we had both our bedroom doors open as Vai is yet to master the art of ‘turning the door knob open’. He came to our room at 6.30am, climbed up to my bed and with eyes 90% still closed he asked to be nursed.

Afterwards, he came down from my bed, and I held his hand as he walked – still very much sleepy – towards his bedroom. I stopped at his bedroom door and asked him to go back to sleep. He then wobbled and walked towards his bed and plonked his sleepy head on the mattress.

He came back to our bedroom twice after that, and I did the same thing. Held his hand and took him back to his room (just right up to the door).

And it was good afterwards. They both slept well throughout the night.

We’re so happy.

PS: We plan to get Vai his own room when he’s around three years old.
