Multiparenting Cayen & Cayson

The two brothers set off for school , new in a different way. For Cayen, it’s a whole new experience in a new setting whilst for Cayson, he’s returning to the old school compound after two weeks at a temp campus to a new classroom and new chinese teacher.  On the way to school, Cayen suddenly asked me about this cloud in the sky, looking long and curvy (like a rainbow). I tried to explain that an airplane has flown past. He wouldn’t take it for an answer. “How could a plane go up and come down so quickly? It’s a curve, not a straight line.” That seemed valid so I started googling for some answers but to no avail. I suspect it’s really from a plane , and that’s a word for it .. “Contrail” or Condensation trail. Anyway, this conversation lasted all the way whilst we were in the car. First time he’s so awake in the morning after all these years. I take the questioning as a good sign of things to come in Primary school.  For Cayen, we didn’t know much about what he went through as...

Cayen’s going to Primary 1 soon so it’s time to shed his mane. He’s rather unhappy about it initially, probably due to him being brainwashed all along that his long hair looks good.  So Ah Pa has a side bet with him after his haircut. If someone says your hair is not nice, you get iPhone straight away. If some says that it’s nice; then no iPhone for a week.  After he came back, Ah Gong and Ah Po sang their praises immediately. After he went to school, the vice principal , teachers all sang praises too.  So he’s going to be iPhone free for a while. Yeah, kill two birds with one stone.  Before  After
