Fun, Kids and Dicipline

Gosh! Months just passing by so quickly but anyway we had a great 4th of July. First time we brought our children to a firework show though not as grand as the last time me and my husband went before we had children. That was long long time ago. When we got home, we got to see our neighbors shooting fireworks. Sit at our pouch for a while, luckily the weather was just perfect to sit outside. We did not buy any fireworks this year. Planning to buy some next year and maybe for New Year celebrations will see.

We also went to a water park last week. We had a blast. My daughter and my son just cannot get enough of it. Good time to be playing in the water since that it was so hot. My youngest son not much of it. He rather watches his big sister and big brother slide down the slide. We did slide a couple of times on the kiddies slide. He seems to like it though he tries to escape when I tried to sit him on my lap. No big vacations for us this year. Gas prices keeps on going up you really cannot afford to go anywhere.

Oh yes, my husband bought me a new puzzle last week, since that I like doing it so much, it was a Thomas Kinkade again 750 piece Christmas Moonlight. I already started on it until my youngest son push it over yesterday only left the top part intact; my daughter forgot to close the door. It is so funny, how did he know that I have puzzle up on that table. Some children just cannot stand seeing something that line up nice and neat and my youngest son is no exception but though he likes to messing things up I still love him. When come to kids I guess we have to let them be kids but of course with boundaries. If we do not teach our kids about right and wrong they will never learn.

Famous phrase “You lead by example”. We need to respect our children because that is the only way they going to respect us back. There is a lot of truth to when you are hitting, insulting and hurting your child, we are simply showing them that it is okay to behave that way which the truth it is not okay. By doing so will only make your child reject and despise you maybe not now but in the long run. And also they will do the same to other children too.

Discipline is as easy as not giving into them and teaching your child early on that they will not get everything that they want. Talk to your children about what they are doing and why it is not okay. They will listen. That is what I did to my children. If you talk to them with a calm and loving voice they will listen.

Whether we realize it or not children test and push our boundaries; we when we were kid the same way, we just love to push our parents button mainly to get their attention, oh yea all of us been there on that side of the fence, that is why we have to be consistent in everything we do and say to our children. Where there are no inconsistencies, they will absolutely going to cross boundaries.

So parents out there discipline your child with lots of love. Do not discipline your children without giving them any reason why it is not okay for them to do this and do that. Tell them it is for their own good. Good luck!

Puzzle puzzle .. What can I say ...

Months passing by so quickly. Summer is finally here and it is very hot outside. But I should not complain about being hot right? During cold weather we are complaining about being cold and summer we are complaining about being hot. I guess that is life and as human we cannot avoid in complaining about so many thing.

But anyway we finally got our frame for the puzzle yesterday and I wasting no time in framing it as you can see from the picture I attached below. I have not hanged it on the wall yet. We are going to hang it in our master bathroom when we get our bathroom painted.

I don't know why I am in the mood in doing puzzle lately but one thing I do know that I really do enjoy doing it. As a matter of fact I just got our third puzzle done last night. My son did help with two three pieces this time though he doesn’t know how to put it together, I have to make sure it fits first then I let him put it in, he got a kick out of himself for being able to fit the puzzle together. It is a Thomas Kinkade collection - Painter of Light Shimmer ( Lamplight Brooke ), very pretty, 750 piece puzzle. At least this size it is not that hard to find a frame that fit so we did bought the frame as well so we don't have to go to town and wasting the gas just to get one thing. I am still waiting for it to completely dry before I frame it. I could not wait to get another one.

Updated: Finally it is up on the wall

1000 piece puzzle

Talking about puzzle, we finally got our second puzzle done and this one is a 1000 piece puzzle, collectable puzzle. It is the Art of Darrell Bush titled The End of A Perfect Day. I have so much fun putting the pieces together though along the way our youngest son pushed some of the already assembled puzzle on the floor and we have to start all over again.

I was looking for the frame for it could not find any at regular shopping place so we decided to order online last night. Hopefully in few days when the frame arrives we could frame it and put it on the wall. To be honest it is really cheaper than buying real painting which could costs you hundred of dollars or even thousands.

I have so much fun and joy in putting puzzle together. I always like scenery kind of puzzle, so no surprise next puzzle I am going to get is going to be some sort of scenery too. So here is our second puzzle...
