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.
