Fly KITE : Part II
....continued from yesterday's post Fly KITE : Part I
Thank you to those who have dropped by to give their little support to Zac & given suggestions to soothe his dissapointment.
Here are the responses :
1) Nafa/Roger - Steal the fly-able kite from friend
2) Nafa - Contribute a Nafa doggie kite for Zac
3) Jesse - Give Zac snack or toy
4) Marzie/Jean - Bring their pets over to cheer up Zac
5) Endoh - Make a new kite & troubleshoot what went wrong
6) Stay-At-Home Mum - Get professional help to make a kite or re-position stick again
7) Shern's mom/Babyfion- Try making one again
8) EastCoastLife - Mummy help Zac to make one
9) Karen - Educate Zac, tell him... to achieve, need constant trying, don't be afriad of failure, eventually will succeed.
10) Sam Chan/Lili/Janice NW/Rachel - Keep on trying
11) Jenny/Sweetpea - Buy one from store
The 2 comment which I kinda like are from :
1) Jas. This is what she said "I still love the kite he made, whether it flies or no."
2) Trinity said "auntie Trinity love his kite, and it should be framed instead of make it fly.. ;-)that kite is too cute to fly. :-D "
A special thanks to Carlo, Chin Nee, Colleen, Girle, Nick, Seiche & The New Parent, April for sharing their thoughts to the post too.
Have you thought what I thought?
I went to purchase a NEW kite the next day.
So Jenny & Sweetpea. BINGO !! :) :)
The kite is huge, the length of the kite is nearly as long as Zac's height.
It cost us S$15 for the kite & $10.50 for the string.
The latter is costly bcos the string are attached with a 'turner' for ease of releasing & retrieving :)
We went to Marina South to fly the kite, it was a HOT afternoon.
Its been years since I last landed there. The whole place is so deserted. I heard from the uncle who sold us the kite that the whole stretch of shophouses will be vacant by end of this year... sigh!!
So that trip could be our last time there...
We finally have a KITE that can SOAR but of course at a price ... hehe ;p
I think it was worthwhile!! I din know flying kite could be so FUN. After that, I could feel my arms aching from the constant pulling & retrieving the rope. You must be thinking how come Zac wasn't flying the kite? Haha...
The GIANT kite just too huge for him to manage. :D
The 2 boys were ecstatic, kept staring at the kite & running all over ...
Zac was sweating under the hot sun. He was too tired for expression.
He didn't fly the kite but he watched HIS KITE soar *yeah*
I think that was a great achievement !!
Do you think I make his day ?
57 Hugs for Amos & Zac:
Ha ha ha Jan, looks like u had more fun with the kite than the kids! So yes, YOU did make their day! Good idea to just buy a new kite, but next time make sure Zac does the flying ok! LOL :):):)
LOL! yeah, jan! you're like big happy kid. haha...
i missed flying kite!! i wan one!!! :(
if i were zac, i would snatch the kite frm u and fly myself. but being a kid, i think Zac had as much fun as you did. Great move, mom! :)
Janice! Sorry I missed to comment on Part I!! Poor Zac! But I am glad that he has a new kite. The old kite is so adorable and you should hang it on the wall.
Janice! I'm sorry too for missing your post on the kite that wouldn't fly! :(
I glad that you got Zac another one although I just see you playing with it LOL Looks like you had more fun than he did! LOL Bet he won't "share" it with you next time :)
Marzie : I will buy another smaller one so that Zac could fly with me together !!
Jean : He actually did snatch the kite from me, but I he retreated after seeing how BIG & difficult. He prefer to watch the kite from afar.... hehe ;p
Emila : Its alright, you're not too late now that you are here for the ending part. I will keep the kite that he made for remembrance :)
Adrian : It was really enjoyable despite the HOT day. I bet we would enjoy the breeze & played longer if it was a less sunny day :)
haha jan, what a great mom you are. Wish my mom can go fly kite with me...
Jerry : Thanks. I want to fly kite with my mum too :)
eh .. the new kite for you or for Zac?
Karen : For Zac but he couldn't control it. So I fly for him. It is really difficult to control. The kite kept going towards the tree there & I have to shout for my hub to help me... LOL :)
It quite a long time didt play kite already
Kenneth : Me 2...I don't think I will rem that there is such a fun activity if not for my boy's school arts :)
However, I think I will go again cos it is really enjoyable :D
Hey that looks like a lot of fun that's to bad it was to much kite for the boy's but they will get bigger! Now I am going to go fly a kite :D
Aww, looks like they were LOVIN' it! Janice you really do have the cutest two kids in the world! You are so funny! I just flew a kite with my little cousin over the 4th of July and it is a lot of fun, but you are right, my arms were TIRED! It takes some muscle to keep those things under control, of course my kiting experience ended with a tree mishap! LOL! Glad you had fun, looks like the guys had a good time! Take care!
Roger : Careful when you fly those kite over your side. Don't let it hit the rocksssss....hehe ;p
Barrett : It sure was fun but tired after that. The arms were so aching. Oh NO !! The worst scenerio is to get the kite stuck at the tree. LOL :)
It really needs some skills there :)
Better luck next time ...
cant remembered when is the last time i fly a kite :D
so free and relax ......
nice fields too!
Cheeky : The open field were once so popular with regular kite flyers. However, due to renovation works. The place is getting so deserted now. sigh !!
Good on you Mum! I doubt many mummies actually make the effort to spend time with your boys like this.
Jas : For me, I make an effort to bring the boys out for some outdoor activty every weekend if nothing pops up ;)
It can end up very tiring with 2 young boys but I love to see them enjoying & sweating out !! :)
So much fun! Check out my kite pictures at a big park in Kepong, Malaysia. http://www.hot-screensaver.com/2007/08/10/taman-metropolitan-kepong/
Hi Janice,
Thanks for sharing the happy moments. Well, the kite and the string are expensive if you and your son only gonna fly the kite once! Do let Zac fly the kite when it has reached great height. It will be even more enjoyable!
Anyway, you did make a great day for Zac! Nowadays there are not many who is willing to go under the hot sun for their children. You are indeed showing a great example of a great mom. Keep it up!
Best wishes
Sam Chan
Neo : I've check it out, thanks :)
Sam Chan : We bought the kite, so we could keep it for flying again. We have an open field near our house here & buying a kite has long been on our list. Now that we have it, we will fly often to fully utilise it...hehe ;p
Thanks for your sweet words :)
good mom... bless the children who has a thoughtful mom like you.
As parents we indeed hv to spend as many time as we can with our children... and having fun! Children's world is fun world, and they will grow healthily if they are having fun...
