reward

Instead of lecturing and reminding Kate everyday ... * she knows everything... what to do, what will happen, etc* ... Mum decided to give her reward.

Reward for leaving her stuff? Of course not. It's reward for NOT leaving her stuff. Mum made a small calender and put it on a fridge. If Kate successfully brings all her stuff back home, she will get a sticker *just a simple circle one* to put on the calender. And to make it more challenging, if she does it 5 in a row, she will get another reward *to put in her saving box*.

And on the next 4 weeks, she brought everything back home.
Well done, Kate!

Update:

Since Kate has done it really well for the rest of the term, we decided to discontinue this sticker reward.

One night after dinner

Kate : Shall we have dessert?
Mum : What do you want?
Kate : Chocolate dessert?
Mum : Ok, I love chocolate.
Kate : No wonder your skin is dark.
Mum : How about daddy?
Kate : Daddy likes vanilla. That's why he has fair skin.
Mum : How about you?
Kate : I like chocolate and vanilla. And I like strawberry, too.
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry ... yummy ...

only 33 days ...

... and it's gone ... Whoaaa :(

Yeah ... BMW (bus, mrt, walk) is the most efficient transportation in this country.

Don't need to add something else (read: bicycle!)
