December is one of the kids favourite month in the year. It is a month of holiday and enjoyment for them as it is the month that we usually go on vacations. This December started with a blast. We took off to Tokyo , Japan for a family holiday with the kids. We visited Disneyland and Disney sea. Stayed at the seaside and also a inn in the mountainside.  We went to visit places of interest, museums, skiing and did lots of shopping and eating too.

The remaining days of December will be filled with other fun activities like play dates, movie treats, outings to parks, swimming and sleepovers. A month to try out many different activities without being restricted by school and time tables.

December is a magical month as it brings lots of hope for the new year. It is a time of celebrations and reflection. As the year comes to an end I have been reflecting on all the good and bad things that have happened in 2013. The blessings that I have received and the goals that have been met.

It is a month for planning also as I will be doing up my teaching schedule for the kids come 2014. Setting new goals and resolutions for the new year and doing up my blogging calendar for next year too.

How has your December been?

Writer’s Workshop: Celebration Monkey boy style

Monkey boy did it again. His academic result was within the 10% percent of the cohort for his level this year. Last year he went on stage too to receive his prize and certificate. This year there is no skateboard for him but we will be bringing him and his siblings to Disneyland for a short vacation.

Seeing him going on stage to receive his award really made me smile. It was really a proud moment for the both of us.

His year long effort has paid off and he has managed to maintain his grades.

 

What has made you smile lately?
