The year is going to end, and that just means school year is going to end too, entering into one-month holiday. My 8-year-old just had his Children's Day celebration at school last week, happily passed back all the text books and took home next year's text books.

How time flies? Just like that one year has gone.

On top of all the above happiness, another happy moment was receiving present from teacher, and this year his school made it special for the kids — all of the children received one set of Rubber Band Rainbow Loom from school.

So, it had been many nights of doing the rubber band wristband together last week. I, being the mummy, had no choice but to learn from YouTube videos so that I could teach him how to do it. The easiest was the single loom, so that was what I learned and taught him. The more advanced type, haha, I told him to wait during school holidays.

Here was how it looked like

Basically just put the band one by one, on top of each other, then from last band to the first band, you used the 'knitting' tool to scoop each one to overlap the previous ones. Ahhh... It was not easy to use words to describe as I had not mastered the naming part.

My second who did not have patience at the moment to learn to do this but had all the zeal to wear this new wristband. The big brother was engrossed into making one after another after having mastered the skill and wantes to proudly create his masterpiece. I did not know how I missed to take his photo but just took the bands he made. Haha.

Then, guess what?

The younger one saw his brother did a lot of bands with variety of colour, and asked me the next day and the next day to do again and again different types of colour for him. Gone was my loads of housechores just to sit there and help him finish his task. Although, I admit, it was fun to just reignite the crafty part of me which I used to love doing all these stuffs, from art to crafts, to cards, to bookmarks, etc.

There...!

The young ones had exactly the same set as his big brother. Not sure is it just him or other children also are like him, he adores his big brother to the max and wants to follow all his footsteps and wants to have everything he has as well, which sometimes causes some minor quarrel. Oh welp, siblings.

The nights of doing this bands ended when the younger one started to feel uncomfortable from his CDH complications. And I am missing those moments of doing bands with them. Hope he will get well soon.
