Sibling Activities

I used to find it tough to think of activities that can engage both children at one go. I was overly worried that mei won't like "boy's stuff" & vice versa. Not anymore. I can hear them giggling over self-created jokes and songs. It doesn't matter if it's over barbie or dragon ball. They enjoy the songs and movies together.

Here are some of their favorite sibling activities

Drawing
Mei has been drawing with gorgor everyday after school. You can see how her drawings are influenced by gorgor's when her mermaids and princesses start to grow claws & fangs.

Designing games
Gorgor likes to design games like maze & puzzles on paper. Mei is usually his target player. Mei involves herself in creating more girly characters & stunts.

iPhone
Ok, it's not the best activity but they do play & collaborate on iPhone games like smurf & zombie makeover. Mei is not ready to play scramble & words yet, but she can draw something for gorgor to guess.

Singing & Dancing
Gorgor has been taking music classes and mei ballet. While gorgor is practicing, mei is secretly singing solfege and dancing along the melody. Mei also taught gorgor some ballet moves eg. Froggy diamond & butterfly flaps.

Well, when they are not fighting, they are definitely enjoying each others company. It is so nice to have a big brother, I always tell mei.
