Chinese New Year 2006 means 5 solid days of staying with the kids. Been chalking up my popularity polls with the kids. Lying by the playground slide with Matt, watching the clouds roll by. Chasing after mei mei for all the countless mischief she's up to.

Tried out disciplining Matthew using time out. Made him sit in corner to reflect wrong doings. Seems to be working as he is able to repeat 'Thou shalt not...punch meimei/kick/push/spit" mantra after time out (count 1 - 10) and before drifting off to sleep. To hand slapping and shouting, he just response in kind. better to win his heart.
