Waipo bought
You see, Waipo is a childcare teacher... and she has got this food theme she has to set up in her corner. So she has to buy stuff for her kids to play and they must follow the FOOD theme. Initially, Waipo had wanted to bring Ace's wooden fruits and veg.
This set of fruits and veg are all made of wood and they have got this velcro patch in the middle to stick them together. In the set, you have a knife that you can use to cut open the fruits and veg.
In the end Waipo could not bear to bring it to school because he saw how Ace loved this set of toys... he would play with them again and again and could play with them for a very long time at any one go.
So Waipo went to NTUC and bought another two sets for her school. The sets this time also included pots and pans and cutlery as well.
"Ace, Waipo let you play with this first.." And Ace really loved it. He started pretending to cook and would play with it for an hour or so. He even brought the pan to the ironing board (which is silver in colour and looks like the gas stove at Waipo's house) and he really had the 'seh' of a cook.
In fact, I thought he looked as if he was cooking.. just like Waigong! He would put the lid on.. take it off, put in new stuff...
Anyway, it kept him entertained for the whole afternoon and the whole evening. Waipo still contemplating whether or not to buy him another one set to play with.
On one hand, we thought since he enjoys it, just let him indulge lah.. right? On the other hand, we are afraid he will end up enjoying sissy stuff.. i mean, he is already trying to apply cream on his face and always combing his hair...
What do you think we should do?
