Introduction The 7 little ones

A stormy night erupted! It's been raining and thundering for a long time! With the 7 young ones, it appears as if the sky is tearing apart.

Without Pa Pa and Ma Ma by their sides, the family's eldest daughter is forced to assume both roles, seeking to console the young ones while also acting as a brace front, despite the fact that she is only 11 years old.

That’s the age of a school girl shouldering the whole family from attending to all the younger siblings basic needs and to their well being.

Let's get to know her better and her name is Bao! In her native tongue, it means "treasure."

Bao was a child who, because she had to be one for the family, knew when and what was the appropriate thing to do without any adult guidance.

She will always needs to put a strong front for the family and always not forgetting to wear a big smile in front of her siblings.

To attending their needs is a way to lesser the burdens of her parents. Now you must be wondering where’s papa and mama.

Welcome to Bao’s family! Papa works at a bakery shop in a market place. The scent of freshly bake breads and cookies of course fancy looking cakes on the display counter is the eye catching for the customers who always admire papa’s bakery artwork and to support the big family Ma Ma needs to go and work in a huge ship as a cleaner that fetch a handsome income and she couldn’t be with her 7 little ones and her beloved husband.

The ship will depart from port and sail for 1 week and the little ones will not get to see their mama at all.

Vivid memories of mama in the wee hours preparing to get ready for her work. Making sure that’s enough food for the whole week and instructing Bao to make sure all things are going well before mama left the house for her “adventure “ Bao hugs mama and pat a kiss on her cheek wishing her well and both know it’s time for mama to be on her journey.

Walking a distance from home to dock, mama will always take the familiar lightly lighted street lights road before the day break, as the sun shine warmly at her face.

It’s ray warm mama’s heart that she knows that Bao will take good care of everyone on her behalf. A shiny drop like dew from the fresh leaf slip on mama’s face. Collecting her thoughts and carry a bright smile to welcome a whole new week that awaits her!

Today we decided to sing Country Road. Hope you like it!

Today we had a sing along session. We aren’t perfect but like this song’s lyrics goes, Everyday we make mistakes but we will never give up and keep trying. Little one plays the ukulele, practice makes perfect.

Dyslexia is a learning difference in a lifelong. Children with dyslexia become adults with dyslexia. Given the right help and early identification, people with dyslexia can learn to compensate for their learning difference and read accurately. Even so they may continue to read slowly and not automatically.
