My family and I are enjoying our school holidays very much. Every morning I get to sleep in and I don't have to rush for anything.
My children are definitely relishing this time when they get to watch TV the whole day and sleep late and they took out their old toys and started to play again. It's been a really long time since they played with their toys, poor things.
Of course I've given them some chores to do and they have been quite okay with it but I also want them to have some time to really play and dream, doodle, read or whatever that they fancy. Nowadays, children's lives are so packed with school work, tuition and other co-curricular activities that life is often just a blur of things to do.
I really pity my children sometimes because my childhood years were so different. Having grown up siblings, I was alone most of the time and my school holidays always went by slowly. Once I learnt to read, I never complained about being bored anymore. I want my children to have a little taste of what it's like to slow down and just savour time.
