自己的事自己做 / Do It Yourself

 

媽媽很喜歡跟你們一起做勞作和課外其他活動，原本是因為想藉此增進親子關係，跟你們一起發揮創意，這仿佛給我機會做以前讀書時期沒有重視過的小手作。
不過，也因為我太喜歡和太緊張結果，有時不自覺地做多了。

看著自己一手包辦設計、繪畫、填色(只給你們填一點，怕多了所做成的瑕疵遮掩不了)的聖誕咭，想到…不對路了，過程才是最重要，你們的發揮才是最重要！

Mama loves doing artworks and other extra-curricular activities with you two as this is a way to keep together and bring up our creativities. It also gives me the chance to do what I did not enjoyed duing my school life.

While looking at my own creatures which designed, drawn, coloured all by myself....well.....it seems I had done something wrong, i,e, I had ignored your involvement and enjoyment during the process.



對你們有信心，應該放手給你們自己做的！原來細佬已經可以做到，填顔色不出界，油出均勻的水彩！

Yes. I should have confidence on you and let you do them by yourselves. Wow~I can see Chaichai colouring within margins and evenly with water colour.





津津對用色有她的喜好，她喜歡很多色彩的，應該尊重她的選擇！

Chunchun has her own style on colour selection. She likes colourful. I should respect her own choice.

 

很靚啊！It's lovely.



也參加了另外的一些填色比賽，我教了津津做出漸變的效果

This is the entry for another coloring competition. I taught Chunchun how to make progressive colour change.

除了美勞，媽媽也很緊張現在每天跟你們一起做的閱讀報告

快點做快點做，捉著你們的手寫生字畫圖畫，想一想，也應讓你們自己做。

In addition to artworks, we also read book and do the book report everyday together.

I had been focusing on finishing the books and book reports efficently and forgot that I should let you to do them by youselves.



因為一本書兩姊弟一起看，看完一起做閱讀報告，我顧得細佬便顧不了津津，因此津津的是自己一手一腳自己做的，原來津津都可以找出生字，整潔地寫出來，也自己畫插圖。

Once, I read a book with you two. After that, I helped Chaichai to finish the book report. It gave Chunchun a chance to finish the book report all by herself. Finally, I found that Chunchun had written down the vocabularies neatly and also had drawn lovely iconograph.

細佬呢，讓他先寫簡單的字吧！除了"A"字，齊齊也自己寫日期了！

How about Chaichai? I let him write simple words such as the date and the letter "A".

看到你們，可以自己刷牙、換校服、做功課、畫圖畫、看圖書、做閱讀報告，不經不覺，原來你們已經會做很多的事，知道嗎？能夠看見你們成長了，給我很大的動力去繼續努力，加油呀！鄧以大細和鄧媽媽！

Everyday, I see you two brush you teeth, change uniform, do homework, draw pictures, read book and write book report...I notice that you two can do many many things all by yourselves....suddenly, I found the greatest motivation for working hard for you and for myself. I am so proud of you two.
