I was browsing through my photo archives and found this one. One of my favourites! Anya’s only about 2.5 years old here.

AND to think that I took it some two years back! How time flies!

Kids. They grow so fast and however much we want to turn back time and re-live those cherished sweet moments with our little ones, we can’t.

Our kids can’t stay little forever.

They grow, become increasingly independent and they’ll one day go and live a life of their own with their own family. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it should be.

And with this in mind, I’m glad I’m here today to spend those precious growing up ‘bitter-sweet’ moments with my little ones. Fulltime.

The other day both kids refused to nap, and since we had quite a bit of time to spend together, we made this jellyfish hat! Very simple and relatively fast to make.

What you need:

- Paper plates (plastic bowls are great too!)
- Cream-coloured crepe Paper for the long wiggly bits
- Glue, scissors

What you do :

- Cut out the crepe paper into some 25mm-wide strips
- ‘Unroll’ each strips and cut shorter strips from each one
- Kids : apply some glue onto the back of paper plate and stick the strips
- Just so that the hat will ’stay put’ on the head, glue a shorter strip on to the plate - from one side of the ear to the other

When they’re done with their hats, Anya put hers on and ran around the house (and with her speed, of course it kept falling off too!)

And Vai, well somehow he refused to have those wiggly bits around his head.

And he preferred to just, lie on the floor.

Kids.
