Children days

Today Little Kingdom will celebrates Children's Day!
Should be very fun, no uniform, no need to bring school bag, no need study.... just enjoy themselve with candies, balloons, song, games and laughter ... all the childrens love this day, including myself. Teacher ask them to dress up for today and bring along with a party hat, last night, I make a quite nice and I personally think is very creative hat for Kaitlyn, see the pic?


hehe.. it took me about an hour to complete. If today is not month end, then I sure will take leave and go to join the fun... but too bad, I can't!
This morning before come to work, I have ask kakak to dress up Kaitlyn with her favourite dress (looks like princess) and bring along with the party hat that I've make.
Hope my little girl enjoy herself today. :)

Bento Tools

Who introduce bento tools to me?? Yes, is my hubby. The reason is we have a picky eater daughter.
Before knowing about all this cute tools, I will used scissor to cut bread out in various shape to attract Kaitlyn to eat, until hubby told me about bento tools. My first collection is hello kitty pancake pan, sea animals picks and hello kitty bento box which I bought on line. It is expensive and not much choice, and I start ask around for other sellers. Yong Yong (who I know from nursing room) is very helpful, she send a lot of related website to me.
Later on, Su Ee bought an egg mould for me from Japan which only cost 100 yen. Wow.. is so cheap compare to what I see online. So coincidence that Fong Lay is going to travel to Japan for her honeymoon, so I grab this opportunity to ask her buy it for me if she can find it. She'll be back tomorrow, will she buy for me? Haha.. looking forward. I also introduce it to some of my colleauge.. they like it so much too.. I think no one can resists it.

New Shoes

We bought a pair of new shoes to Jie Jie last weekend, because the existing one does not fit anymore. Her favourite colour is green, so she insists to get the green one even though I told her pink one is nicest. After paid, I try to convince her again, saying pink one is better, because can match with her cloths, most of her cloths is pink, and I afraid is hard to match with green, Kaitlyn compromise at last, but she told me that "when I 4 yrs old, you buy green one for me hah" ... ( I feel bad after she saying this, I should let her make decision!)

Escape from jab

Mei Mei suppose to take jab last saturday but she was fever, and we need to postponed the date. However, we still bring her to visit Dr Cheah, b'cos of worrying why she got fever. As per normal, doctor check her weight, lenght and head circumferences. Weight around 5.6kg and I was told that baby put on weight very fast during their 1st 3 mths, and after that will be slow down, still gain, but not much. Fever go away after taking pharacetamol in Dr Cheah clinic, haha... I feel release now! and Papa told me that b'cos Mei Mei want to skip the jab, so she pretend to be fever.
*Mei Mei can say "papapa..."now.. which make papa so happy :) even though we know that she not intend to call him.

Mei Mei can crawl

Mei Mei is 5 mths,2 weeks and 2 days old as per today.
What she can do at this stage:
When I place toys near her, she can crawl over to reach them.
Hand control is developed, she can bring a small object towards herself gently. Still not able to grab at this moment.
360 degree turn, place her nicely on baby cot, after wake up will see her 360 degree turn, facing the other side.

Sweet Memory

Yesterday is sweet memory day for Kaitlyn. She got the opportunity to go to stage to take trophy. Hope this is encouragement to her.

When we arrived the school hall, Kaitlyn has been ask to sit with all the winners from nursery 1. See, her happy face, but after long waiting around 3 hours, when want to go to stage, she's start crying, don't know is because too tired or afraid and refuse to go to stage.

1st photo, taking photo with colouring competition winners.

2nd photo is awards for 好宝宝, teacher Sheena present the prizes to her.

Almost school holiday

Is almost school holiday, yesterday Kaitlyn bring back all her school books and report card. She's doing good in school and I got the answer for what prizes she get, is best pupil awards and also the colouring competition (special awards).
She have been attending the school about 4 mths, I personally think that she've learns a lot from there, she knew a lot of song now, and I'm so proud that she's no longer wearing diapers, even at night, she also can poo poo by using the potty now.
Yes! I think I've make the right choice of sending her to this kindy, teachers are nice, caring and I can see their effort on guiding our childrens.

Every month, there will be a unit topic for what they need to learn, by end of the month, teacher will let them take home a handworks done by the teachers. In month of July, she bring back "Fun with shapes and colours" and September is a "Fun with numbers" and November is "Fun with Alphabets"... which I likes so much because I can use the material to teach her at home.

Traditional costum

Kaitlyn in cheongsum and kimono. The yellow cheongsum bought by peh peh to kaitlyn during her 1 yrs old, and this kimono I borrowed from Irene a few weeks ago. See if I manage to get all the traditional costum (likes sari, baja kebaya, etc), then I can take her pic in difference custom, it should be fun.

Request for a watch

Kaitlyn: I want to bring this upstairs to study.
(A clock that make from a thick cupboard, which I bought 2 yrs ago)
Papa: No no no, keep it (is time to go to bed)
Kaitlyn: No, I want to learn how to read the time, so that you can buy me a Hello Kitty watch ma..

Oh, I know why Kaitlyn so hardworking, because she told us that her friend, Georgina have a watch, so she want also, and papa told her that if she know how to read the time, then only she can get one.

Prizes Presentation, what can it be?

Kaitlyn brings back some leaflet on Mon from school. Is a graduation celebration and recognition day on this coming Sunday (16 Nov), I'm a little bit curious, as I didn't heard Kaitlyn said she take part on the concert (seems like don't have for Nursery 1 student). By looking in details, she's being invited for prizes presentation, hah?? what can it be, in the leaflet, it was listed quite a number of competition, which I believe she didn't take part of any. I ask her to check it out with teacher, but she told me she forgot, what can it be, I'm so curious what my girl get. Looking forward for this sunday...

Showing attitude

My 5 mths old daughter start showing her preference on the milk and people, she likes to drink mama milk instead of moomoo milk. This make me so stress, afraid that if one day I wean, she's won't take milk anymore...

Little kakak

Our weekend activities recently is to clean our new house, we did it continuously for 5 weekends. We didn't hired any maid, but we have a volunteer kakak.. which is our little Jie Jie. Actually she didn't help much, but making a lot of noise and disturbance, she's scared of the loud sound come out from the vacumn cleaner, always want either me or papa carry her, or else cried and shows her scary face... but yesterday at least she contribute a little bit, by mopping the cabinet and grill. Look how serious she is in this photo.

She's very good in acting, kakak speak malay and so as she.

Kaitlyn: Atuk, ini mahu kah?? cuci mana??

Kaitlyn: Sini ah?

(Speak the way likes our maid)

Meaningful

We visited Amanda's baby last sunday, and I bought her a gift set which have a very meaningful sentence, it says" It doesn't matter I'm small, one day I'll grow up big and tall". I like these sentence, just like giving me hint that not to worry.

Growth Development

I'm very concern about my girls growth development. Jie Jie is already 3 yrs plus, but her weight is only 11.6kg as measure by this morning. About Mei Mei, first 2 -3 mths, she's progressing well, but I observed that the weight is slowing down recently, I'm so worry, as she's taking 6 times milk per day, each feed is 4oz.. is she taking not enough milk?

Why U didn't wake me up

While I'm washing the breast pump this morning, I heard Kaitlyn cried so sadly, after check it up with her, I only know that because we didn't wake her up as I promised her last night. The reason is she go to bed late yesterday and I want her to sleep more. Actually quite convenience to fecth her to school but the problem is that she need to take at least 45 mins to get ready which cause us arrived office late :(

My entertainer

Yesterday night, while the 2 sister lying on the bed, I put Mei Mei on Jie Jie tummy and let Jie Jie become pillow, Mei Mei climb up to Jie Jie chest and I heard Jie Jie said to Mei Mei that "Ah Mei, Jie Jie don't have nen nen, you know" Everyone in the room laugh as this Jie Jie very funny and talk likes an aunty.

Sometimes Kaitlyn also likes to modify people name, last friday, papa told Kaitlyn that he have a colleauge come from USA, and want us to meet him on saturday, papa told us that his name is Geratt, the first response from Kaitlyn is haa.. uncle Carrot.. you said la.. how cheeky she is. She also modify her PD name from Dr Jessica to Dr Bicyle...
