I rarely do any craft work with the boy. Somehow it’s not something I enjoy. At the most, it’s coloring projects, or creative writing pieces. Maybe you can say I’m lazy but because of the time constraint, I tend to focus on improving his academic capabilities.
His dad on the other hand, rarely spends time teaching his son although he was tasked to improve the boy’s Math. Instead, they’re always playing together.
I don’t know if this latest project falls under crafts or play, but I was glad the man took time to create the mould and do up the volcano to indulge in his son’s latest obsession.
In a way, perhaps it’s a nice balance that the two of us are doing different things with the boy. Provided of course, our efforts are being sustained in the longer term.
He’s lucky.. he gets best of both worlds!
