Potty Train

Ah Mah start train Mei Mei to use potty. The first things Ah Mah will do after Mei Mei wake up is to let her wee wee on the potty, it don't works at the beginning, but for this week, we see the improvement, yes, Mei Mei wee wee on the potty. Hope this works so that we can save some money from buying diapers :P

School uniform

There is a rules for Little Kingdom that all the students must wear uniform, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, is the dress uniform, Tuesday and Thursday is T-shirt and white pants. I like the uniform, is very nice. But sometimes Kaitlyn refuse to wear it (when she don't want to go to school). This week, Ah Kong travel to China again, and we have to fetch Kaitlyn to school before go to work. She's well behave, manage to get ready within half an hour and we praise her because of getting ready earlier than us. I've manage to take her pic in difference uniform, hehe.. are they nice?

So sorry to Jie Jie

Before delivered Mei Mei, I have full attention to Kaitlyn, most of my spare time is teaching her read, sing, write and colouring. Every night before go to bed, she sure want me to read her bed time story, she won't feel bored for the same story, keep requesting me to repeat, sometimes I tell until doze off. I enjoys that moment so much, but now I have to split my time to Mei Mei, and I feel guilty that all these activities has been stopped. Most of my time now is to pumping milk, feeding her, take care of Mei Mei...

Drawing

Many months ago, Kaitlyn likes to draw caterpillar and monster, for caterpillar, she'll draw many circles from big till small, with 2 little eyes and many legs (teached by Ah Mah) and I don't know where she learn about the monster from... look at this pic, it really looks like a monster in the eye of a kid, for me, is a cute little monster!

My bad

Something funny happen last weekend, I was feeding kaitlyn and she refuse to eat and I told her that i'm so upset and want to run away b'cos she refuse to eat, Papa frighten her that monster will come and catch her if she don't eat(which we not suppose to do)... she was very angry that moment, turn to me and tell me that "Mama I run with u.. "
*My bad, I shouldn't said this kind of bad words, which children pick up so fast.

Mei Mei progress

Mei Mei is 4 mths 2 weeks and 5 days old as per today. I can said that she's progressing well, can move forward by using her body and leg but very naughty, 4 oz milk have to split to 2-3 times to finish, If don't want to drink, use all her energy to push our hand away.

Pig Pig Hooray, we got something new today

I have to think of something new and creative each time when I feed Kaitlyn, she's really make me big head whenever come to meal time. The words that we keep repeating is chew.. swallow.. chew..swallow. If she's in bad mood, we can spend up an hours just get her to finish the meal. Who can tell me when it is going to stop, when will be the time she can eat by herself without forcing...
Yesterday, Fong Lay borrow me 2 puncher (snow flake & horse), and I told her sit and wait at her high chair as I'm going to show her something new...
Me: I'll show u something new.. sit still
Kaitlyn: ok..hands behind (putting her hands at her back)
Kaitlyn: Pig Pig Hooray, we got something new today.
What a cute word, she's told me Barney teach her.
I keep feeding her the milk while kakak and papa punch out the cute little paper..and the 5oz milk finish within 10 mins.. thanks GOD!

My Liitle Kingdom

Going to school is fun! This is what I heard from Kaitlyn after 2 mths she attending My Little Kingdom. I still remember, first few weeks, she was so reluctant to go to school, everyday keep asking me tomorrow got school or not, first sentence after wake up is got school or not, if I told her yes, she'll said I don't want to go school, cry and make all the cranky stuff ...But finally she seems settle down now and start enjoying her school life. The games that she likes to play recently is teacher and students, she pretend to be teacher Embi, mama, papa, Ah Kong, Ah Mah & Kakak are all her students . She's able to name most of their friends name from her class, likes Yan Yi, Shi Ya, Hong Liang, Chan Jit Feng, Preston, Celine, Edvan, etc. She even share what had happen in her class with me everyday she come back from school, ya.. is quite fun to hear about all her school stories. She also learns many new song from there, one of our favourite is the Goodbye song.

In the morning, when all the children gather, teacher Embi will ask them to sing Selamat Pagi. Selamat Pagi, Selamat Pagi,
Kepada Cikgu, kepada kawan,
Saya Dah Besar, Saya Dah Besar,
Saya mahu belajar.

Before taking meal, washed their hands. Go back to their seat, put hands behind, when the food is serve, they are ask to sing,
Everyday I eat good food, I eat good food
To make me strong and healthy
If the children want more foods, they have to raise their hand and said 2nd helping, plss..

When time to go home, they will sing Goodbye song. (I told Kaitlyn, when you sing this song, means mama will come to fecth you home)
Goodbye Song:
Goodbye, Goodbye,
I'll see you back again,
Goodbye, Goodbye,
I'll see you very soon,
Goodbye, Goodbye, Sayonara,
Goodbye, Goodbye, Sayonara.

**She's very cute by singing this song together with some actions.

Kaitlyn 3 years old birthday

This year Kaitlyn birthday is fall on saturday, and I'm able to make her a birthday party which she wish to have. Last night, I ask her what's her wish, and she told me that she wish - not to skip her lunch, go to school...(I think she likes the school so much now). Haha.. all good things, which is my wishes too, hope this is real and she's not just sweet talk to me.

Kait Yee 4 months old

Mei Mei is 4 mths old today, I'll do the "开腥" for her, many of my friends did it for their child too. I didn't do it for Kaitlyn b'cos I just knew about this believe.
What I need are "龙舌鱼, 鸡腿, Pong 饼 and the marie 饼". Each of it have its own meaning:
龙舌鱼 - to make her speak well and able to debate like a lawyer.. the fishmonger told Ah Mah, if cook 3, then will become more clever (business tactic)
鸡腿 - ？？？
Marie biscut - To prevent saliva from dripping
Pong Pia - for 拜拜 meaning to let her "胖胖"


Hubby said that I'm like living in the old century, but I think he's not right, we should believe it, no harm to try. Haha... very "aunty" me.
During Mei Mei full moon celebration, we also let her bath with flowers (5 difference colours), leaf and the stone. Teach by the confinement lady, each of them also got its own meaning.
Flowers - 好人缘
Leaf - wash away the bad luck
Stone - " 压胆"

At 4 mths old, Mei Mei:

• Likes to sleep on her stomach.
• Able to roll from her back on to her stomach.
• Sucking fingers, not thumb but pointer, tall man and ring man 3 together. Changed from left to right, sometimes sucking chut chut.
• Laugh until kakaka.. when papa tease her.
• Always want Ah Mah to carry.
• Sleep through the night.
• Interested to what we are doing, sound .. etc
