Water Cushion for kids with high fever

Over the past weekend, I had a hell of my time caring for my two kids who had high fever. It was a roller coaster ride, down and up to 39.8 degC.

One of the recommendation from the GP was to acquire water cushions, place them in the fridge to cool them, then place them under the bed sheet or within the pillow case and get the kids to lie on them. This will help to dissipate the body heat and lower the body temperature. The water cushion might be kept cool if it is used in an air-conditioned room. Wrap the cold Water Cushion with a towel if necessary as condensation would occur around the Water cushion; you would not want the patient to be drenched, would you?

So, how much did the Water Cusion cost me?

If you go to the BIG stores in the shopping malls, it may cost you from around S$8 to S$15.
But you could also get it at around S$2 in value shops, such as the Value$. And I bought two of them, so I could interchange them when one of them becomes warm.

What's the length & width? It's about 45cm x 30cm, big enough to cover the upper body of a 7 y.o. kid.

So, what do I do with them when my kids recover?

Place it under my butt .... shooooik sia!!

Kids' Art Showcase #10 - Sea Creature #5

From the 9 y.o. girl again ... errrr ... yah I know, it's not an Octupus

(it's an Octopus)

Dreamcatcher

Wow! I didn't know that the kids are taught to make Dreamcatchers in their primary school.

Dreamcatchers were originally made by the Red indians in North America for their kids to catch & purge bad dreams while letting the good ones through to the kids.

Well, I guess it may not be a tradition to write down specific dreams on a Dreamcatcher ... but this could probably be used as a Frame for the kid to remind herself to strive after her dreams ...

And may her dreams come true ...

Kids' Art Showcase #9 - Sea Creature #4

From a 9 y.o.
Is it a Jellyfish or a four-tentacled squid?

It's DURAIN season again!! (or coming to an end already)

You should have watched how she ate this durain ....

At the end, she told me that she did not like it ...

She was merely squashing, squeezing and peeling,

as if she was playing with plasticine!

She could have pass it to ME!! I LOVE DURAINS!!

Although it was apparently a waste to me,

it was a "tasty" experience for her ....geeezzzzz ....

Kids' Art Showcase #8 - Cartoon Character #3

From the 7 y.o. boy, once again:
A new Pokemon in Full Amour ... and it "farts" .... a defensive stance

What's Daddy's job?

I nearly fainted when I checked my kid's chinese homework (refer to picture above).

It stated :
My Daddy
Name: Lee
His Job: Watch Movies and TV!!!

That is supposed to be my pastime ...

Well, our family had a good laughter over it as well ... and I wish that is my job (but spare me from all the horror movies)!
