Act 1: It was a Monday for Estella in school. We had a very enjoyable weekend, which includes getting Starrie a new DVD called the Backyardigans. Here's what took place between Starrie and her best friend YX.
Estella: You want to come to my house and watch TV with me? Daddy & Mama bought Estella a new DVD.
YX: Eh... No... You come to my house? We can watch TV and computer together.
Act 2: It has been 2 weeks since Starrie wanted to invite a fren to her house and watch TV together. Yesterday, I witnessed how she made another attempt in school with another fren L this time. Both children were sitting side by side waiting to be picked up by parents after their lunch.
Estella: You want to come to my house and watch TV?
L: No.
Estella: You want to watch TV?
L: I want to play Lego. You want to come and play Lego with me?
I can't remember when the first play date was for me. Maybe K1? With my next door neighbour who lived 100m away next door? I am just amazed by what 3 year-olds are talking about. They are starting much earlier.
Act 3: Thursday evening, returning home after dinner at Popo's house. Deal? Estella can watch 1 episode of TV before bedtime. While we were driving and turning into the carpark, she went...
Estella: Dear Lord Jesus, please give Daddy a parking lot so that Daddy can park the car and Estella can go home watch TV. In Jesus' name, amen!
With the added motivation, I see a greater eagerness in her to pray! She knows Who to turn to for help!
Act 4: Visitation at Dong's place. Estella finally got to play with her god-brother and also visit Godpa and Godma. Her favourite game is hide and seek!
Joshua: Your turn to find me. I go and hide! (ran to hide)
Estella: OK. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. I am coming! (ran to seek)
[after a good long search round the house]
Estella: There! I see you!!
