Tickle tickle playground

C & K were invited to tickle tickle playground for Tiffany's 4th birthday party and Sarah's 2nd month baby shower.

The girls loved the playground (which child doesn't?).

C loves cakes and birthday parties.

c paints

I bought a new coloring book and new crayola paints. C chose to color ice creams.

C, why avatars (blue faces) huh?

K joined in too.

The final product. 

k 1st day at school

Kaka was with kayley throughout her 1st class and she shared that kayley was playing independently. So today kaka brought kayley to school and left her there on her own.

Mommy received a text from teacher an hour later from start of class.

"Hi Joyce. Just wanted to update you a little on Kayley. My poor little girl threw up after crying so much when she came to school today. It was her solo debut:) we cleaned her up and tried to settle her into the routine of things..... She would have intermittent bursts of crying in between her work cycles. May I suggest that in all fairness to her being young and coming in only on a thrice weekly basis, that we allow your helper to be with for a good half hour before leaving over the  next few sessions so that  she can settle in nicely and get used to her new teachers and friends. tks.:):)"

Oops. This is daddy's message to mommy when he picked you up from school.

"She was crying when we picked her up. Chloe was sitting beside her n holding her hands."

Also when the teacher changed your clothes, they wore your romper incorrectly. The gainiq logo is at the back not front. Poor babe. You must have been uncomfortable. 

Let's see how long you need to be comfortable in class. Chloe took 2 months.

k and her abc

K is 21 months old. Can you hear her say in the video - I want. Yes. and she swayed while singing abc. Is it a feat that she can sing abc, twinkle stars, baa sheeps, at 21mo? I dont know. But im proud anyway. My little one is all grown up. C, sorry, I cant rembr when you started singing, but I'm sure if I dig your old videos, I can find one. In the video, K sang for her yogurt melts. K eats most food. Yet she doesn't enjoy those that C enjoys - ice cream or cake. To our surprise K likes her greens. Spinach. Brocolli. Snow pea. Dou miao.

iPad iPad iPad

The girls enjoy watching youtube videos on the iPad. Quite often they fight over it. Meimei will chant iPad iPad iPad when jiejie snatches it away. They were watching hickory dickory dock and I was trying to capture the moment, but the flash made both of them look up.

milk before bedtime

The girls are watching mickey mouse clubhouse. They are also into elmo and wiggles and wheels on the bus.

c heart mentos

She wanted a mentos and I asked her to pose. It's not easy to get her to smile for the camera. But with a mentos you can.

c and her sun

Chloe drew a sun. It was a very cute sun. One of her best drawings to date. Her penmanship is poor according to teachers but slowly improving each day.

I asked her to take a photo with her drawing. She's not good with posing.

After a few tries, I don't know what I said, and she got angry with me.

So she hid under her blanket. >_<

the end of shichida for c

Today marks the last day of Chloe's shichida class. She has been attending for 5 terms. We find that her interest has diminished. There were 2 classes where she threw temper and left without completing the lesson. We started her because she enjoyed flash cards but we don't want to continue if she doesn't enjoy herself. Plus it's not cheap. So art class will be next because she enjoys painting and her penmanship is poor.

For the last 3 months at least, the regime was macdonalds breakfast before shichida class. 

This video shows the girls sharing milo ♥

This video captures Kayley's excitement when daddy walks back to the table with the food tray ♥♥♥

Chloe is a very picky eater and she enjoys the sausage patty. When she finishes the patty she moves on to hotcakes and if she still has space in her stomach she goes for muffin with grape jam. Kayley chiongs for the hashbrown followed by scrambled egg. The girls are as different as chalk and cheese. Mommy eats up whatever they don't eat and daddy orders his own breakfast like a fish fillet burger.

my first post

Test. Test. I wanted to blog long time ago. I was lazy and procrastinated. See my profile photo. That was chloe when she was 6 months old. That means 3 years ago. Until recently I met up with a girlfriend who posts nuggets of her life on Facebook, she rekindled my blogging thought. So here I am. This time I want to blog to document the lifes of my 2 little girls. Chloe 3.5 and Kayley 1.5. My memory is so bad I can't remember their milestones and my feelings. So hopefully I will continue this blogging habit.

Chloe Chia

Chloe Chia. This was taken in Jan. Age 3 years 1 month. She was at my dad's 70th birthday party. Dress was a present from Chris. H&M. Hello kitty necklace was a present from Godmama's sister Audrey. Also H&M.

Kayley Chia

Kayley Chia. This was taken Jan/Feb. Age 1 year 1 month. Dress from sis in law Tiffany. Loot from Bangkok.

I should take more photos. I always tell myself that. But I don't do it. Bish myself. 

I had fever of 38.7 last night. It's been a long time since I had such a high fever. Painful throat and ears. But better now after antibiotics from the clinic visit this morning.

My poor Kayley had fever since Tuesday night. 5 nights already. Low fever betw 37.5 and 38.5. Also flu and cough which has worsened. Self medicated her the last 5 nights. I'm like a doctor now. I know what medicine to give for fever, phlegm, running nose, cough. We visited the doctor this morning since I had to go, and the doctor gave the same medicine, with an addition of antibiotics. So hopefully she will get well soon. K didn't like the medicine. So I had to work together with Siti to feed her. Siti grabbed her so that her limbs won't get in the way, I squeezed her cheeks, pinched her nose, and syringed the syrup into her mouth. We are glad she took in the full dose. We did that 3 times today but we think that it will get tougher along the way because she will start to know how to retaliate. While we fed, Chloe was next to us, and was very sad for her little sister.
