Some Thoughts Behind Our Schooling Choices
At 20 months of age, the biggest difference between the Miss’ day-to-day and her brother’s is that I’m home. With Rockstar, I didn’t quit a job and career that used to be my life until he was around 2.5 years old. … Continue reading

Playdate At Hong Kong Central Library And School For The Miss
So, for the eagle-eyed reader who noticed I hadn’t said much about Little Miss’ baby school…. Yes she had her first day of pre-school 1 1/2 weeks ago. No I haven’t said where. It was because I was initially unsure … Continue reading

A Midwife Crisis, The Kennedy Year 2 Christmas Show A-La Rockstar
Said Wendy, John and Michael, “We can fly!” And then there was Sheep Envy… Rockstar and Friends had long concluded the sheep had the best song. (But Rockstar felt swords still trumped songs. And well they all get to sing … Continue reading

Of Christmas Learning And Parenting Opportunities
**Updated 10am the following morning, at bottom… So the Santa’s Postbox in Rockstar’s school is up, and him being a year 2 and all, the holiday card traffic was markedly heavier than the previous year. Before anyone screams tree carnage, … Continue reading

Battle Hymn Of The Tiger Brother, Dragon Miss

The Making Of Rockstar’s Archangel Michael
So Rockstar initially named the angel Gabriel, who tells Mary about the Birth of Jesus, but then we realized (yes, together – shame on me) that it is actually the archangel Michael, who is depicted with sword and armor. (Honestly, … Continue reading
A Tale of Two Dinners
Exhibit A (2 hard boiled eggs, broccoli, rice, carrots, fish), consumed at 4.30am after a recent school field trip, because Rockstar fell asleep before he could eat his usual massive dinner (albeit still after putting away an after-school “snack” that … Continue reading
Rockstarism #283: Rockstar Offers Toddler Retrieval Services At Baby Chai-nese Class
“Do I bring any other babies back or is it only Little Miss I retrieve?” Uh. Don’t. Touch. Any other babies. Please. Now it’s half-term, Rockstar was at home when I had to bring Little Miss for her one hour baby Chinese … Continue reading
