Moody

After one week of school, you did nap in school and always follow teacher Lily around helping her to do things etc.

But you became moody and emotional. Not the usual chatty self at home.

Is it because you are angry with us for leaving you in school?

Mummy feels so sad that you became so sad. Keep asking myself did I do wrong in sending you to childcare?

Really hope you can adapt and like school more :(

But the teachers always gave me very good feedback that you only cried a while and when we left you will become chatty again. Then why at home you became so withdrawn?

Go to school!

Finally, you are going to school! So exciting and a major milestone for you. Enrolled you in this full day childcare at Elfa (Opposite our house). For the first week, intending to let you attend half a day first to get used to the environment and routine.

Surprisingly, for the first three days, you did not cry too much and adapting quite well. First day after school, you zonked out like there was too much stimulation. The moment you saw me, your tears dropped. But the teacher said you only cried a while.

Second day of school, I left once the teacher brought you in. And again, you saw me and you cried again, asking for Daddy.

Overall, I think you adapt quite well. You love school but just not used to us not with you.

Today is your third day of school and you cried the moment you stepped into the classroom and tried to flee out but was caught by the teacher. The moment the teacher carried you, we faster leave.

But before that you actually told me you wana go school! :)

I hope you will learn more things in school.

Brought you to Nex shopping centre because there is a super big NTUC Fairprice there. You can run around there and we can do our groceries shopping.

The moment you stepped into the NTUC and saw a kid in this car-cum-trolley, you immediately want to pounce into the car. You just love to meddle with steering wheels!

You felt so happy that you have finally gotten behind that wheel!

Please protect yourself

Dear Vera,

The next time when you grow up, you will meet guys, fall in love and maybe fall out of love. This is a normal process for girls, but please do not let that guy make you too sad. Just cry it out, and move on with life. There will be a time when you will meet someone who loves you for who you are and accept you.

You will marry this guy who will protect you and love you more than us (I hope). Then be happy and live life to the fullest.

We love you a lot. And we never know love until we had you. Daddy always say you are his 心肝宝贝。I agree. Nobody will know what is loving a person until they have their own kids.

I love you.

So difficult to bring you out!

Nowadays when you see rides in shopping centres, you will crawl up and sit in there for a very long time refusing to go! And because Mummy cannot carry you, found it really troublesome to bring you out nowadays!

Please be a good girl so Mummy can bring you out to shop ok?

Today we also brought you to a trial lesson at Growing Up Gifted. The lessons are different from that in Baby Jumper Gym. I think you are rather unfamiliar with the settings in GUG. I would love to continue in BJG but your teacher, Jesslyn has already quit so we decided to try out other schools.

Brought you to Carrefour at Suntec and you were happily pushing a squeaky trolley. Took a video of it as you were really very cute! And again, you refused to let go of the trolley when we were supposed to leave. *headache* Lucky for the MACHO daddy who carried you away.

Love my new hairclip?

Mama 不要做工

你看到爸爸换衣，你对妈妈说 “妈妈不要做工”

“妈妈， 婆婆家”
“嘉嘉，婆婆家”

I am so shocked that you know I am not working but going to your grandmother's place!

Of course, you tried to negotiate and even start to cry just so that I can bring you along. But you still have to stay at home nonetheless.

Absence makes the heart grows fonder.

Mummy drove you alone

Mummy drove you out alone to 外婆 house because Daddy is sick and has to sleep.

So off we go to 外婆 house and this is the first time I drove since 29 Oct 2011 because of Mummy's sickness. Nevertheless, we reached safely.

You even took a nap at 外婆 house beside me. Normally we have to push you in your stroller for you to take your nap but surprisingly you were able to nap just by lying beside me.

Wanted to make you stay overnight with Mummy but your grandparents were so worried that they had to take a train down from Tampines to Toa Payoh just to fetch you.

Took some pictures when we were waiting for them at Toa Payoh MRT.

Risking my back to carry you.

I bend, you bend lower.

X'mas and Birthday Celebrations - MBS

Because Mummy has to be hospitalised during your birthday, Mummy decided to book a room at MBS to have an early Birthday cum X'mas celebrations for you!

You received lotsa presents from our friends and our relatives. What a blessed kid you are :)

23 Dec 2011:
Checked in at 3pm. We blew a whole cot of balloons so that you can play with the balloons. And also prepared a few bottles of bubbles so that you can play till your heart's fill!

Ok pictures speak louder than words. Like to capture you on photos so that memories will not fade off so fast :)

When your cousin (Ryan) came, you "hog" to him by holding his hand and not letting go. Think you are overly friendly!

When the visitors are gone at 12midnight then you are willing to sleep!

Presents!

Blow the balloons!

24 Dec 2011:
Wow.. Today all the Aunties and Uncles (Daddy and Mummy friends) came for a mini gathering and also to celebrate your birthday.

You are really a little sociable kid. Like to go around talking to people of all ages. Especially when there are kids around, you will tend to be more initiative. Often scare the little kid abit :)

It's Xmas and time for checkout! Love the hotel stay and really wish it could be longer where  you can lie beside Mummy and spend time together. I really do not mind pampering you by letting you play what you want. You want bubbles or playing in the tub, as long as you are happy.

Haven't been able to let you swim in the infinity pool because it has been raining. So we make-shift with the bathtub and let you swim in there. You are happy nonetheless :)

Just keep swimming!

Had a fun 3 days 2 nights stay. Most importantly is to spend quality time together. And Daddy was sick during the last day of the stay. :(

Hold Mummy's hand, please.

Finally, Mummy get to see you after 1 week again! This time at the hospital.

You are very friendly to the nurses. Always able to strike a conversation with them.

Now you are really like a broken tape recorder -- talking non-stop. But with that cute voice, who hates that?

I like the way you hold my hand while I walk slowly. You do not mind not running like you usually do, but you just want to hold my hand because you know I walk slowly. You know I am sick. Such is the maturity of a 2 year old girl, with loads of innocence.

Will you do that when I am old and frail too? By that time you would have grown up and have you own social circle and family. Will you care for Mummy like how you did when you were 2 years old? Will you hold my hand and walk with me slowly, again?

You never fail to bring hope to my life. Whenever I see you I know who and why and what I am fighting for.

For you.
