Playing Together

The house is always very noisy when both the kids are awake. They like to play with each other, which is of coz a good thing. But they're still too young to play gently. They're always very rough with each other, especially during play time.

Recently, CE is back on his bad habit of pulling jie jie's hair. And he really does pull very hard sometimes, to the extent where he'll pull some out! Jie jie is one funny gal. When didi wants to pull her hair, she doesn't want to get up quickly. Still sit or lie down and let didi pull. Then shout and complain to me that didi's pulling her hair. Sigh... can't they play quietly AND safely. Yeah, wishful thinking, I know. hehehe

Another game they like to play is catching. It's so dangerous to run around in the house. So many sharp corners and the tiled floor is very hard. XY loves to run and CE likes to catch. And they'll be screaming and laughing all the way. I know that's fun but it's just too noisy and unsafe. So I don't allow them to run in the house. I do bring them out to play in the garden in the evenings but they don't play catching on the grass. Not so fun maybe? Without all the challenging 'obstacles'.

They also like to play this game where didi will hold on to jie jie's shirt and walk behind her. It's quite safe if XY walks slowly. I'll just have to keep reminding her to slow down when they're at it. As an active girl, slow motion is something quite foreign to her. LOL I really love to watch them play together happily. I hope they'll have this special bonding forever. As for their rough play, guess I'll have to wait for them to grow a little older to be able to practise gentle play. In the meantime, I'll just use earplugs. :D
