Ryan is an early bird who catches the worms…he wakes up before any of us and definitely before our alarm clocks are set to ring in the mornings. Whether it’s a work day or a weekend, he wakes up at the same time. When he’s up, he starts playing. Of course, what else would you expect a child his age to do, right?
This morning he was up at his usual hour and he went about playing on his own while we half-consciously tried to watch him with sleepy eyes and trying to keep the ears open to listen out for what he’s doing.
Then I heard his final wake up call for me…”Mummy, wake up. Sit here play with boy boy” and my reply was “Ohh….” but I didn’t get up.
All was quite after that and he didn’t come back to bug me to wake up. After a while I thought it was quite unusual. He would normally come bug me until one of us wake up and play with him. So I got up to see what Ryan was up to.
Guess what he was doing…
This is my colourful and transparent sticky strips…
…which I use to mark pages to KIV in books
Ryan used them as stickers to stick all over his colouring book!
He would’ve gone on to peel each and every piece of those sticky strips out had I not woken up to stop him. So the next time he wakes me up to play and I doze off again, I better be prepared for a very colourful room when I wake up! This time it could be the easy to remove stickers, next time it could be his colour pencils on the walls!

I have to say he’s creative
Yay! I think it is great that he is able to keep himself busy. I get worried when I don’t hear my 2 kids playing or screaming at each other. Usually means that they are up to something not good (for me).
Amy, he sure is! Hahaha…
Busy Bee, it’s true, I can totally relate to the unusual silence…I think we’re just paranoid!
That’s my boy !!!
