Rainy Day with Daddy

It was raining heavily when I woke up from my afternoon nap. Daddy and I sat by the window to look at and talk about the traffic jam along the expressway. I enjoyed such special time with Daddy.

Special days

Thought of jotting down 2 special days when I made Daddy and mummy exceptionally happy.

16th April 2010, Friday: I didnt cry at all when I reached school and Daddy had to leave. I quietly queued in the designated area with other school mates and waited patiently for Teacher to bring us to the classroom.

19th April 2010, Monday: I went to the toilet in Novena Square shopping mall and peed in the toilet bowl. I only pee in the toilet bowl at home. This is the first "outside home" toilet bowl I have peed in. Mummy said will give me sticker but she forgot.

Carry

I like to carry things (umbrella, basket, plastic bags, water bottle, letters from mailbox etc)....albeit only for a short distance.

School & Me III

1. After the neubiliser episode in Jan, I visited Doctor 4 times in this month for a sty, fever, cough and running nose. Doctor said that possibility of visiting him is now higher now that I start to go to school. As I'm always afraid of seeing Doctor, mummy bought a doctor's play kit for me. I have been acting as a doctor to check on Pooh's tummy with the plastic stethescope and allowing mummy to act as my doctor and check me. The last time I went to see the Doctor, I was braver. I overheard nurse told mummy that many kids think Doctor is a baddie but actually he makes us well. Hmm....makes me wonder. Then again, I do like my medicine and will tell Daddy/ mummy "Nice".

2. I still whine and cry when Daddy hands me over to the Teacher and leaves the school compound. But once Daddy is fully out of sight, I will stop crying. Hmm, no point crying since Daddy cant see it...

3. I've been trying to sing "Ni Wa Wa" (Clay Doll in Chinese) and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars" (Chinese version) at home. Always stuck at the first sentence of each song. I even requested for Teacher to sing "Ni Wa Wa" in class.

2nd visit to ZOO

Mummy's friend organised a one year old birthday party in the Zoo for her daughter. As invited guests were given free admission tickets to the Zoo for the day, we took the opportunity to "tour" the Zoo again. The last time we went to Zoo, I wasnt even 1 year old. This time, I am older and didnt need the stroller. We caught the elephants show, saw many animals (that big fat polar bear is still around) and took the boat ride to Kids World for the birthday celebration. As I didnt bring my swimming costume or extra set of clothes, I couldnt join in the water play where many kids were happily playing. Luckily there was a playground for me to play instead. We missed the cake cutting session as I was getting tired (walked a lot and past my naptime). Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself in the Zoo and thank you Aunty Joanne for the invitation!

This is the way I drink my soup

I love SOUP, particularly Chinese type. Maybe I inherited this from Daddy who loves it too or maybe ah ma trained me into a soup person as she has been cooking soup for my daily morning tea break since I started taking solid food. When I first started self feeding, I was drinking soup using a spoon; scoop by scoop. Took me some time to finish and at times, I wasted some of the precious soup when I accidentally spilt it. One day, I decided to pick up the bowl and drink directly from it. It caught mummy by surprise and she was so afraid I might drop the bowl. Hee...I'm proud that I finished every bit of it successfully. From then on, I've been drinking soup directly from the bowl. Yummy!
