再辛苦也是值得的！

Hectic workload for me and hubby after company restructuring.

Yesterday when we reached home is almost 8p.m, the moment we step in the house, we receive a warm greeting from Mei Mei by calling us mama and papa. I'm so happy, this is the 1st time she call us without ask to. All my tiredness disappear.

Same with Jie Jie, know that both of us are so tired and try to entertain us by singing her favourite song to us.

I'm so happy to have both of them, 再辛苦也是值得的！

Mei Mei likes to go to the garden to play, so I ask her if you want to go out, said walk walk. If she follow then only I let her out. Since then, whenever she want to go out, she'll point to her shoes and say walk walk. hehe.. I did it, although is just a word.
Another milestones that I hope she can reach is she can express herself by words, speak more by her own free will, not by instructions.

Words she can say:
walk walk，papa, mama, kakak, jie jie (not really pronounce clearly).

Fruits stall ko ko

Yesterday is 初一。Every 初一 十五, we used to asked the fruits stall ko ko to delivered the fruits to us. Kaitlyn know him, everytime he come, she'll called him ko ko. But unfortunately this guy met an accident yesterday and passed away. He just delivered the fruits to us yesterday evening around 7:30p.m, but heard the accident happen around 9p.m when he want to delivered the fruits to others. We all really shock when heard this bad news. Especially Kaitlyn, she keep asking us what had happen to him. I can feel her sadness.

Delays in speech

I start worrying Mei Mei, almost reach 14 mths, still don't know how to say a single words. In order to heard she speak, we even bribe her with ice cream or bread. When we ask her to call Papa, she'll say Mama, when we ask her to say Mama, she'll say Papa. But I think she know the meaning of Papa and Mama, because when I ask her where is Papa, she'll look at him. She understand our conversation quite well, but the problem is she don't want to talk. Compare to Jie Jie, Jie Jie able to speak 3-4 words sentence at this age. Jie Jie is really fast in her speech. Every child is difference! Hope Mei Mei can pick it up fast and greet us when see us come back from home, not with bribe or force.

Papa away for 5 days

Last sunday night, papa comes back from Chengdu. Me and Kaitlyn go to airport to fetched him, once Kaitlyn saw him, hug him so tight and cried, said that she missed him. Just 5 days apart, she already cried terribly, I can't imagine what if papa works outstation. This little girl keep count down day by day, at first papa was telling her that he'll away for 3 days, so at the 3rd day, she asked me why papa still not come back, she actually count! We shouldn't lie to children.

Papa didn't bring back any panda softtoy for the girls but 2 boxes of "wife biscuit" and chocolates from HK airport for us. Hehe.. my favourite, yummy yummy!!

After Mei Mei walks, she keep hurting herself. Today she walked to open the books cabinet and the door hit her face, leave a scar about 1cm which very near to her left eye.

1st passport for Jie Jie

Kaitlyn got her 1st passport today. We plan to bring her to Singapore during next month and this will be her 1st time to travel by plane.

We reach imigration office around 10:30a.m and the whole application took about 45 mins. Consider fast, but the most troublesome one is to take her photo. We was ask to walk out to the shop nearby to take the snap because inside imigration office they don't take for children.
Documents needed is only birth cert, my I.C and 2 passport size photo, that's all. RM150 for children and we get the passport within 2 hrs.

Family Sports Carnival 2009 at Han Chiang Indoor Stadium

Today is a sports day for Kaitlyn school, she's in blue whale team, so we as a parents also need to wear blue to show our support to our children. Is a fun day, and I saw many parents really very supportive, not only wearing blue shirt, but some even wear blue hair, tight blue scarf on their head and even create a slogan for blue whale team.

The slogan is:
"Blue whale Blue whale Go Go Go
Get to the end and win the gold
Blue whale Blue whale is the best
Lets have fun and win the match"

Kaitlyn is taking part on bom bom dance which she've been pratice it for few weeks. She dance well, not fear and don't cried like the first time she went to the stage. She's fantastic!



The telematch for 3-4 yrs old, is passing ball and the last one need to throw into the basketball net, at first Kaitlyn is not paying attention, when the ball come to her, she's still blur blur, looking here and there. don't know passing the ball to others.Blue team get 3rd prize and she ask me why not 1st, I told her because they lack of team work. Haha.. hope she's understand it and keep on the sportmanship.

Careless parents

Yesterday morning, someone come to fixed the water leaking in the bath room, and need to hack on the wall, so papa asked me to clean up the kitchen before they start working. He leave 2 girls in the living room and went next door, suddenly I heard Mei Mei cried loudly, and run outside to check what had happen, saw the lock was dropped on the floor. Must be the lock knock on her, after checking, she have a minor wound on her head.

After dinner, I see papa was around with 2 girls and make a phone call to my mum to tell her that we are going back to her house. Again, Mei Mei fall down while she try to touch papa speaker. A great fall until her mouth bleeding.

Papa cut his finger, car tyre puncture. So many bad things happen to us. Is a bad luck day or b'cos of careless parents, I think for Mei Mei incident, shall be the 2nd one. I keep remind myself, don't let this kind of accident happen again, luckily this is a minor one.

Mei Mei start walking this week

Mei Mei start walking this week, at first, she is very nervous, walk very fast towards the sofa, table which she will hold on it or people that can hold her. She walk about 5-6 steps but now she can walk a longer distance and more steady pace. She refuse people to carry her now, walk here and there by herself. All of us more tired after she start walking, must keep our eyes on her, else afraid she will fall down.
