Pet fish

Papa set up this small aquarium for Kaitlyn upon her request, cost RM75 (consists of the sea grass, 6 fishes, water pump, light and the 鱼缸 ). RM75 can buy the happiness to the 2 daugthers. Should be worth it. Papa told her that now she own the responsibility to take care of them, just like we take care of her and Mei Mei.
Yes, I'm proud that she understand it, the first thing that she'll do now after reach home is to feed them and enjoy to see them eat. Even Mei Mei, also very interested at this small aquarium, whenever I ask her where is the fish, she'll turn her head towards it. :)

Red Ribbon

Kaitlyn has been selected to be monitor since the school start this year, but after a month, the red ribbon has been take back by teacher. I asked her why, and she's just said don't know. (She was shy, we know she know the reason, just feel shame to tell the truth). Actually we suspect that she's being naughty and keep crying at school, that's why teacher don't want to let her be monitor. Yesterday, when we reach home, Ah Kong told us that teacher select her to be monitor again and ask to sew back the red ribbon on her uniform... My first tought is Kaitlyn must be being good again, no more crying. (She's start crying again after we sent her to a week full day during no maid transition period)

I think this is a good way of teaching, let her know that only behave and good can be selected as monitor. And not take everything for granted. I just wonder how long can she own the red ribbon this time... hope my girl can keep behave herself and don't let teacher take it away because of her bad attitude!

Jealousy

No doubt, Kaitlyn love her Mei Mei so much, when papa tease her that he want to give away Mei Mei formula to others, she'll cry and insists the formula keep back into the store room. But cannot deny that she jealous on her sometimes when we more concentrate on the little one.
When I keep calling Mei Mei, she'll ask me why I didn't call her.
When I tickle Mei Mei, she want it too.
When I carry Mei Mei to sleep, she also want me to carry her to sleep.
When I give Mei Mei biscuit, she want another half too...
Too many jealousy symptom from her but anyway is still acceptable, at least she didn't do something that hurt her.

Goodness of Avocado

I saw an article about goodness of avocado to baby's brain and physical development, so I plan to let Mei Mei try. Actually I let Jie Jie tried before when she's baby, but she don't like the taste, so I give up since myself also won't take it, somemore it is not cheap.

During lunch, I went to Sunshine square to bought an avocado, cost RM4.50. Unfortunately it drop to the floor when I place it on the cabinet. It is spoilt, but still eatable, so I prepare the mashed avocado for Mei Mei just immediately I reached home.

At first, I though she'll refuse to take it since she just finish her porridge. But out of my surprise, she finish the portion that I let her try and she likes it.

Here's the Avocado Baby Food Recipes:
Mashed Avocado
Peel and de-pit a ripe avocado
Cut “meat” out and mash with spoon.
Ready to eat without cooked.

Not Rosie Cheek, but is rashes

Mei Mei is having rashes all over her body since Monday morning. Ah Mah did bought her to visit doctor, and diagnose as allergy, give her 3 types of medicine, allergy, prevent itchy and colamine lotion. But did not told what causes the allergy. I've spend sometimes to search it from website, but there are too many types of rashes till I confuse which one it belong. I am guessing a few possibility:
1. Cause by wool (I place Mei Mei in the baby cot when I helping kakak to change quit cover)
2. Cause by flea (as hubby let her play in the garden, by only wearing a budy suit, without long pant. Neighour claims that there is a wild dog always come to our housing area which is very dirty and believe it have many fleas)
3. Cause by plain bun (I share with her during my breakfast time)
Today is the 4th day, the rashes spread here and there, red and is burning. She have taken allergy syrup since monday but it don't seems better. I try not to give her the itchy medicine, as I think is not necessary for a baby. As per sister in law, I may need to let her take allergy medicine for another 2 days, if persists, need to give another type of medicine. I pray that she can get well soon, please don't let her suffer for so long.

剪刀，石头，布

I remember I start played 剪刀，石头，布 when I was at primary school. But, I'm so impress that Kaitkyn know how to play it, I believe Ah Mah have teach her since sometimes as she know exactly the rules of the game. I saw her played it with her Ah Mah 2 days ago, but she play with tricks, purposely response slow, so she able to win after Ah Mah.

Calls Jie Jie and Ma Ma

Mei Mei start calling mama and Jie Jie this week but is not really clear, just sound likes...
I remember a few months ago, she called papapapa but stop calling after a few days.

Drawing

Kaitlyn draw this picture, which she told me that the 3 people is papa, me and her went to bought the flowers this afternoon...the flower don't really looks like flower, but she know how to use the drawing to illustrate the real things happen. Yes, we went to the shop today to buy 3 pot of flowers to decorate our garden.

Mei Mei know how to wave goodbye

Yesterday, while we are travelling home and waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, there is a malay motorcylist waiting beside us, Mei Mei keep staring at him, finally her little eyes catch his attention. When the lights turn green, he wave bye bye to Mei Mei, and so good that Mei Mei know how to response back by waving bye bye to him as well.

I missed Mei Mei

Mei Mei is 8 mths old 2 days ago, I'm so busy until I don't have time to update on her progress.
She's been staying with Ah Mah since last saturday, I missed her so much when she's not around.

She's very cute now, I can see her very happy when we go back to Ah Mah house, asking me to carry her. When we want to left, she'll start showing her sad face and cry. (I feel so sorry to her)
During 拜天公 night, I heard Ah Mah said that she's very busy and refuse to sleep, want to come out to see the firecracker and sleep around 12:30a.m.
As I plan to wean, she have to had formula now, only take 6 oz breastmilk every 2 days once.
Still look small... have not measure her after last visit to Dr Cheah clinic.

Mama become maid

We don't have maid since last friday, so I've to take up her job. No cooking, we eat out as no time to do the washing. Due to I'm working today, so my in law offer to take care of Mei Mei last night, I feel so bad as she's having high blood pressure and still need to wake up in the midnight to feed Mei Mei. As for Jie Jie, we have to send her to full day from tomorrow onwards, Ah Mah is not able to handle 2 kids by herself. I've called teacher Sheena and told her that we need to let Kaitlyn go for a month full day and Kaitlyn also agree on that. I cross my finger that we can get a good maid very soon, so everything will resume back to normal.
