A road trip

Mummy and Daddy brought me to the doctor on Saturday (26th) cos my cough is getting quite bad and plus we're supposed to go on a road trip to Desaru on Sunday (27th). Doctor auntie saw me and said that I caught a virus but she said that I was alright to go for the trip. Yeah!

So we went to church on the 27th for service before the trip. However, I was awakened by the cough in the morning and didn't get enough sleep and therefore, I didn't want to eat my food. We set off after service at around 2pm. The drive started. I slept in the car once we started moving and when we reached the Malaysian immigration, I woke up being cranky. I didn't even want to drink my milk.

When we reached I didn't want dinner and just wanted to sleep and was cranky throughout.

On the 28th, I got better after the afternoon nap but still I didn't want to eat nor drink and only wanted to eat what was on mummy's plate. With me being better, Daddy brought me to the pool to walk around. I had fun. :)



However throughout the trip, food nor milk interest me. So I was on a mini diet when I was in Desaru throughout. The only thing that attracted me was hokkien noodles, fish, raisins, bread but all in mouse portions.

And that was how I turned 22months.

I'm 22 Months old

Here's what I can/like to do:
- more vocal
- sing more songs, chinese songs especially
- eat mummy and daddy's food
- draw circles
- make a victory sign when posing for pictures


Sorry for the lack of pictures in the last month, cos it was a busy month for me. Camp after camp and vacation and sick.

My 2nd Christmas eve party and Christmas

The fever and rash is gone. But now I have the dreaded cough. sigh. However that didn't deter me from having fun. :)

Mummy and daddy couldn't spend Christmas with me cos they had to work but the spent the 2nd half of Christmas eve with me. So what did we do.

On Christmas eve, we went to my grandma's house for a Christmas party. Didn't really eat much cos the cough was irritating me. Received quite a few presents. :)

On Christmas day, I was at grandma's place but Daddy and mummy collected ALOT of presents for me from the uncles and aunties in church. THANK YOU.



By the time I reached home, it was abit late and didn't get to open the presents. The cough started to irritate me and I didn't really drink alot of milk. :(

Red Rashes

I'm back from Batam but I am not feeling too good. Got abit of fever and also some weird rash started to appear. Before I go to bed, it got worse and Daddy and mummy had to drive me to the hospital cos i was itching and was making me uncomfortable.

Doctor uncle said that could be some allergy that causes the rash and the fever is due to some virus that I caught somewhere.

Good thing the cost for the consultation could be claimed from the travel insurance that was bought. :)

My first ferry ride

I'm going on my first ferry ride today. Destination, Batam. Mummy got a camp to oversee there so I'm tagging along together with my grandpa, grandma and daddy. I'll be away from today till the 23rd. Don't miss me too much. :)

yeah!

Today in the middle of class, mummy had to go to the toilet and asked me if I wanted to follow her. I didn't want and stayed in the class all by myself when my other classmates had their mummies/grandma with them.

At last there's a place where mummy can leave me alone for a while. :P

Barney

Mummy told me last night that if I were to be a good girl today, she would bring me go and see Barney like how I saw the carebears. So today, I drank all my milk and ate my lunch obediently. Though there was rain while I was eating, the rain stopped and grandma called and said that she would be able to come and fetch us to United Square to watch the show.

So here's abit of what I saw. Though I couldn't get a seat inside the "square", we stood by the fence and wasn't that bad.

Christmas lights

Mummy decided to bring me see the Christmas lights today. So after she picked me up from grandma's, we went to pick up my other grandma and we headed off to Orchard Road. Bad day bad timing. It was raining the whole day and we took 1hr just to reach Orchard from Marine Parade.

Once there, Mummy and grandma had their dinner first and then it was time to see lights. We only managed to see the huge christmas tree outside ION. The rest, I wasn't really interested when mummy drove down the road.

Two shows

Its a busy day today.

First stop: Forum the Shopping mall
Program: Where is the Green Sheep



Napped in the car cos I was too tired from all that activity. But only for about 45mins cos I woke up once we reached home. Mummy was contemplating if we should go for another show and seeing that I wasn't sleeping we headed back to the car park to collect the car again.

Second stop: Plaza Singapura
Program: Care Bear Meet and Greet



Here's a sneak of what I saw.



After one long day out with just a 45min power nap, I slept early and soundly for the rest of the night. :)

Going camping

I'm off for camping again at grandma's house. But I know mummy got lots of programs planned out for me. The days will pass by in a breeze. :p look out for my posts.

Letter from Mummy #7

Dearest Baby
In a few months time, you will turn 2. Its just so fast. In fact, you are growing so quickly that sometimes I do wish that you would slow down just a little so that I can enjoy that moment with you. However, at the same time, I wish that you would quickly turn 3 so that you will be out of this stage which you are in that is so very challenging. The terrible twos stage where you just simply throw your tantrums just because you are frustrated and things are not going your way.

Well, I know that this is a phase that you will have to go through and I hope that I will be more patient. However, sometimes you just want to push your limits until it makes me angry and I pray God will help me.

Feeding you is like a chore nowadays cos you tend to get distracted so easily and I'm not sure if the food tastes yucky to you or not but you simply have so much difficulty eating your own food but not our food. I wonder why. They taste better?

Milk feeds are like a sacred thing that only Mummy is able to do and not anyone else especially with the bottle. And you have simply opted to use the small cups in your grandparents' place instead of the milk bottles. And apart from mummy and grandma, no one else seem to be able to have your permission to feed you milk. I wonder why too. Maybe next time when you are older you can tell me ok?

I just pray that with all these going on, you will continue to grow healthy and fine. And that God will bring us through this phase as soon as possible and that I will enjoy seeing you grow.

I am 21 Months Old

Today I turn 21 months old. Here are the list of things I love to do:
- sing alot more chinese songs
- ask what and why and who questions
- speak gibberish when I am lost for words
- count to 20
- test water to see if mummy/daddy is angry by calling them. If they reply means I'm fine. If they don't means they are angry.
- being more picky with food
- throw tantrums. Mummy says I'm in the Terrible Twos stage.
- request for specific songs to play when in the car
- not liking to sit in the high chair
- loves shopping

Camping on my own

Mummy packed my bag and I will be going to camp at my paternal grandparent's place for the next two days on my own for the 2nd time cos Daddy and Mummy got to attend meetings which start very early in the morning and end not that late at night. It will be a 2D1N camp for me. Infact would be something like a 36hr camp.

I will miss them both.

To Ernie's "House"

Mummy and Daddy decided to bring me to Ernie's House (Compass Point) today to watch Ernie and Elmo and some other monsters. Didn't get to sit in the square where all the kids were cos we were only 15mins before the show started. Didn't really enjoy myself as I was too far away from the stage.



But Daddy managed to bring me downstairs to the side of the stage to have a close look at Elmo and Ernie.



In the end, we only stayed to watch for some 15-20mins and then we were off.

An early present

This year I received an early present. Aunty F gave me a voucher from Kiddy Palace. Mummy and Daddy brought me there and mummy chose a present that I so lurrvvee..:)

One request

Mummy brought back a Toys R Us catalogue. I looked through and have a request for Aunty HL. :)
Disclaimer from Mummy: I didn't instigate. :p

My first Christmas Tree

Mummy decided to put up the christmas tree this year. It is my first time seeing a Christmas tree at home. Last year, mummy didn't put up cos she was afraid I might just tear the whole tree down. But she has more confidence in me this year (we'll see!! hee)

Here's me helping out with the decorations while mummy assembles the tree.



Here's me fooling around with some stuff found in the box of trimmings.



Here's me making mummy think twice if she should continue decorating the tree.



Here's me enjoying the lights of the tree.

A New Friend

My grandma bought me a new friend. Something which I chose. Its as tall as me when i sit down and heavy for me to carry. Introducing, Winnie the Pooh.



Mummy made Pooh bear wear diapers just like me.

This is the way I brush my teeth

My fist visit to a hair salon

My hair was getting "wild". Instead of getting daddy to cut (he can only do fringe), we headed to a professional hairdresser to do my hair. I didn't cry at all although there was some initial objection to a towel being stuck on my neck :)





And here is my new look.

The library

Mummy brought me to the library for the first time today. Tampines Regional Library. She booked me a session in one of the special rooms for something called "Fun With Tots".

We walked around the library first cos it was still early. There was a train in the children's section and that became an icon of the library for me. :)



During the session, there were many other toddlers like me, some younger, some older and there was a "teacher" there to guided us in some songs and also read some books. It was fun. :) I think mummy will bring me there again.

Reciting my ABC

My 1st business

Today I did my first business (the poo poo) in my potty today. :) I gave that face, one small one appeared on the diaper and daddy put me on the potty and I completed the rest there. Mummy and daddy's proud.

After washing up, I went back to the potty to see but there's nothing there anymore. Its all cleaned.

Moon cake festival.

Presenting, my lantern for this year.

This is my 2nd mooncake festival and I seem to be enjoying myself more than last year. I am not sick that's why!!! This year, when I reached back to grandma's house, the party has already started. And I found out that I had actually more than one lantern. :)

I also made a new friend, my cousin, Delise.
