JJ's first Nintendo DS

JJ had been asking for a DS for over 2 years. He was told that he would need to write a letter to Santa for it.

Today, mum got an used DS from a colleague and had been hiding it in her luggage. She did not hide it well in her luggage so JJ discovered it as he rummaged thru mummy's stuff for omiyage.

When JJ took it out, mummy said it actually belonged to mummy as part of the "damage control". JJ said ok, i understand. As mummy put it back into the bag, JJ went up to 2/f to make his own paper DS and said this is my DS (This is what JJ had been doing for as long as he started wanting one - a self made paper version with lots of imagination...)

As he was playing his paper DS, he ended up in a dark corner and started to weep intensely. Very miserable and helpless. Mummy softened up and relented to his quest.
Mummy said " this is for JJ and mummy". JJ was overjoyed and replied "Yes, this is for nihongin only" and happily walked off with the real DS and having a hell of a good time.

This was how our JJ got his first DS!!!

Violin or not

JJ's piano teacher (a violinist from Russia- Karin) informed mummy that JJ's ready for violin. Mummy would like to wait because she felt that it would be important for her to be able to play as well to help JJ practise.
Daddy informed Karin of mummy's intention. Teacher looked disappointed. She's into getting JJ started soon. JJ can read music, handle rhythm, kid's a sponge,...
Conclusion - have JJ perform at his first piano recital in Nov that move on to violin afterwards. Mummy wants JJ to progress further with both hands playing. OK!
