No more diaper in the day

Kayley stopped her chut chut at 25.5 months on 14 Feb and stopped her diapers in the day at 26.5 months on 19 Mar. Congratulations! Meimei always wanted to wear underwear like jiejie. She will take jiejie's underwear from the drawers and pull them up with her diaper.

Uncle Denis

Wow it's been full 2 months since I last wrote. I was plain lazy. Mr Denis Welch. My best English friend. Omg. He's 65. I love him so much so I'm very pleased to see that my little ones love him so much too. I think c & k were in a fantastic mood. They love birthdays. So when I told them we were celebrating uncle denis's birthday they were really excited. We took a taxi to sentosa and when they saw the castle on the way in they were really excited too maybe it gave them a feeling of holiday. I prepped them and said let's see who can shout the loudest happy birthday uncle denis when the lift opens. Chloe won but meimei did her best too. Chloe looked super in love with uncle denis. Because she was always looking for him. Uncle denis this uncle denis that. I was surprised. She almost forgot about mommy. Why was it not mommy this mommy that. Uncle denis look at meimei she's dancing to wiggles. Uncle denis where are you (when he went to take a business call). We used denis's apple TV and the girls were singing and dancing to wiggles and I love to show that side of them off to others because they are so cutttteeee. Denis was in love with them too. Denis made pasta for them and bought magnum ice cream and Toblerone chocs. Ah sweet. We will hang out more often with uncle denis.

Show me your teeth

K is very cute. I always like to ask her 'show me your teeth' and she will oblige. The expressions are priceless. The photos don't really show the expressions. But at least it gives an idea.

No more chut-chut

Yeah. Meimei quit her chut-chut (pacifier) at 25.5 months on 14 Feb 14! She tore her chut-chut and I threw it away. We bought her new ones but she didn't want. So she stopped chut-chut-ing! Compared to chloe, kayley is noisier, so since very young age, we gave her the pacifier to shhhh her. Heh. Most of the time to sleep only. But at times it was a bad habit. For comfort. I was worried about how to take it off and her withdrawal symptoms (probably lots of screaming and omg she can be loud). But this was easy peasy lemon squeezy. She asked for her chut and we offered the new ones and she rejected. So she stopped asking. Wow. Heh. Happy. It was the same for latching for Meimei. At about 18 months after her hospital stay (she was admitted for fever) she shaked her head when offered the nipple. I love you Meimei.

Happy birthday Daddy aka gong gong

May you be blessed with good health and happiness!

C dislikes writing

Time flies. C is in K1. Teachers say that she dreads writing and ask us to encourage practice at home. Daddy was trying to ask her to write and these are the shots he sent me. First a defiant face. Second a face that shows the dread. Lastly she cries. How now brown cow? I'm a little at my wits end. We can only keep trying.

January blues

December was fun with birthdays and outings so I'm having January blues. Chloe and Kayley attended new schools. Jessin for K. Jessin, eduplus and mindchamp for C. K cried on the first 2 days, sad face next 3 days, by 2nd week she was fine. She adapted to school much faster then Chloe was at the same age. Chloe took a month or two? Now 4yo Chloe is very cool about new school. She will just wave bye and be independent in class. All grown up. Eduplus Chinese enrichment is on Saturday mindchamp English enrichment is on Sunday and Jessin kindergarten is from Monday to Friday. 3 schools in 3 days and she was totally fine. Thumbs up for C. I'm sure it will be the same for K in the future.

End of Day 1. Runny nose due to prolonged crying.

Day 2. Sitting and sobbing.

Happy faces after school

Mindchamp

On the way to eduplus.  Sunny day. Vain chloe.
