(2007/11) November MTBs

Gillian: make sure your little one gets enough fluid. Did the doctor prescribe Pedialyte? Need to keep him hydrated ok? My boy also kena bad diarrhoea when we went to Bangkok in July. Oh, also Smecta is a lifesaver. Stops the diarrhoea quite effectively. Hope he gets well soon.

Thanks for all the compliments mummies! Much appreciated!

k@ye: haha. I never really noticed but yes, it must be genetic! I better go thank my mom. Always complain that she gives me her "oily" skin. =P

Poissons: I got the banner specially made in the States from Birthday Express cos its very durable and I intend to use it for at least a few more years! haha. Ethan likes it alot cos he can recognize Bard the dragon and the Lion from his books. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have a blast! Remember to post photos ok?

Langlao: The balloons are provided by PG. Its a cake decoration. Lots of babies liked it so I washed it and gave it out later.

Lazykat: No leh. They provided a plastic knife for me. Ethan loved cutting the cake! haha. insisted on holding the knife.

Weishy: Total cost was $145 including delivery. I find it quite reasonable for a 3 kg cake. But it depends on the cake flavours that you choose, can be even cheaper!

Rachel, ur maid like playing punk with u! I bought Claire for her pnenuccomal jab (taken at 1 yr old)

Her next jab will be the MMR at 15th mths. Will be bringing her to the polyclinic for that coz its FOC. Usually, if our babies are sick, its not advisable to let them hv the jab.

S@l, yalor... Ur hubby cut the cake till like that... Machiam like slaughtering HK... but still kudos to u for making Mischa's own cake!
 
Yany,

u really super leh...
can bake so well, the cuppies are really so halloween too..hehe
ur kids r very lucky..
happy.gif
 
K@ye, luckily only the cupcakes la. I sure freak out if i went ahead to make my main cake...

zzz, she didnt notice the cake i think
happy.gif


Happy, agree with the rest. If u cannot stand the sight of ur maid, no point keeping her for whatever reason. u need to face her 24/7, by hiding in the room, i see it as no point cos u know she is there. its really unhealthy to feel that way,cos u pay for a maid, why need to make urself feel so miserable - doesnt tally with ur nick anymore le...hahaha...Cheer up and really get a replacement real soon.
 
Thanks to all mummies for the birthday wishes on behalf of Ethan!

Cindy: just saw your blog - looks like Travis had lots of fun at his Macdonald Party. Just wondering,why doesn't Travis have a photo with mummy? =P

Aiyo, sounds like alot of babies are down with flu or cough of some sort. Please get well soon... Agree its best to wait till fully recovered before going for jabs. Reason being, jabs often cause an immune reaction which presents as fever so its hard to tell if the baby is getting worse from the initial illness or its due to the jab so best to avoid immunization till well.
 
Rachel,
pneumococcal jab has a few courses depending when u started. I just took ZY to PD today for her 3rd and final P jab, was contemplating chicken pox vaccine too, but decide to do it the next visit before MMR. Else scared *touchwood* if she comes down with fever, her bday celebration this wk will not be as fun for her.
 
S@l,
unfortunately not getting fr Pink. Cos she replied my PM (never reply my SMS) almost 1 wk later and happened that I already booked my cake fr PG the very same day!
 
hi all, happy belated birthday to all the lil ones who had their first birthday!

Been busy cos Hazel is down for last few days n yesterday her fever came back and its the first time I've seen her so inactive and sian. She hasn't been eating much and rejected her milk since sat. Had to bring her back to doc yesterday and gave her a blood test.. result will be out tonight. Luckily today she seems betta cld take abit of milk and more food. Hope the sunshine after the rain is coming.

Langlao, hazel also started with coughing till vomit out milk. But hopefully its nothing for Ash.

s@l- so cute the 3D cake! ur jelly looked like it wanted a halloween theme
happy.gif
 
RachelC i think ur maid not suitable to even work la can send her back already and request agent nt to transfer her.....for others sake

KOhGillian yup we can only see look aùbut if we equip ourselves with some form of child first aid etc knowledge we can manage it better ratehr tahn rush thme down to doc everytime

michviv wah not bad the price cos i hear can be more than 400 to 500 so still oki luckily hayleys free kekekkekek save a bit here
 
Oh, just to check with u ladies. Does any of your babies got this habit?

Claire just started this annoying habit of waking up in the middle of the nite (3am++) for milk. The moment she heard my hubby or me got out of the room to make her milk, she will cry!!!!

Either that, can't leave her alone and she will cry! This is making all of us crazy!

Oh, inspired by Weishy, i had started a blog selling my items (new & used), its kayanco.blogspot.com
 
sigh..my boy has been waking up at 4am+ these 2 nights for milk, and i think he's really hungry cos' he will gulp down the entire bottle within 5 mins! He doesn't want my hubby at night, only want me..so while I step out of the room to prepare the milk, he will scream and cry buckets, like I'm abandoning him with Daddy. Dunno is it growth spurt or wat..but I hope this can stop so that I can have back my peaceful sleep...sigh. Thot they shld be better sleepers now that they are older??
 
k@ye, poissons, my gal also suddenly needs another feed near midnight after her last feed @ 830-9pm. she usually sleeps through to 8am+. but the last 2 nites, wake up ard 1130pm and CRY VERY HARD.... for milk.

also dunno what happened .... need some quick check but seems like 11-12 months no growth spurt?? hmmmmm.... also hopes this is but a phase!
 
k@ye, poisson,
my girl doesn't wake up for milk in the middle of the night, but she POOs in the middle of the night! Haiz, can u imagine sleeping and then waking up in the middle of the night smelling poo and hving to change her?!


re: birthdays!
Happy birthday to all Nov (and some Oct) kiddos!

I celebrated my girl's birthday the wkend b4 last... yes, it was way too early as her actual bday is only this wed... but thinking that i had to travel, i moved it forward...
Just to share, here's her cake (pity that i din get the time to bake for her, otherwise wld love to do so):

Hi Rachel,

i think you shld send your maid packing. do it soon rather than after investing effort on training her. she sounded like here to 'have fun' only. She can rest and shake legs all she wants when being sent back to agent. Dont bother to give her another chance even if agent ask you to. Cos by then hard feelings would hve bottled up.

Hi K@ye,
Kiros wil cry if he sees my husband or myself stepping out to make milk (referring to his 4or5am feed). Only this feed he will pretend to cry. Then he will shut up when one of us called out his name and carry him on our laps. Then when he sees that his milk is ready but not in his mouth yet, he will kick and make noise like couldnt wait to be fed. Just like a spoilt brat kind of pattern.
 
Thanks so much for your compliments
happy.gif
It was my first dabble making for people to eat outside the family... lol.

S@L,
Your headless hello kitty quite scary leh!....

family now sick of these kind of cakes and requested for strawberry sponge cake from 4 leaves. It is quite nice.... perhaps I will do that. Then bake one for K's 1st b'day just for my own family.
happy.gif


plim,
your dd cake is very pretty and sweet. Take out your mixer and start baking already!! Its fun once you start!

Maids,
I have a maid with me for a while... 8 years. She was really good before but now getting complacent. Can't complain much as this was bound to happen. Then have 2nd one to help her out, also have problems. 2nd one don't like to be told, 1st one tends to blame 2nd for not doing this and that. Haiz......
Overall... have to close one eye. Otherwise, all the issues can drive me insane! hahaha....

Happy,
If you have to resort to hiding in your room, change the maid. Its better to loose some $ than to lose your freedom and mind. Its really no point in keeping her. Nowadays, good maids are harder to come by. The better ones wants to go further to earn more $. The ones left behind thinks that is easy work and gets a shock when there is too much to do.

Night feeds,
K still wakes up asking to nurse. Depending on her, it could be from once a night to 3x/night. Good thing is that she falls immediately asleep after that!
 
Stomach flu: Javier has a really red ass now. But, its better as he stopped pooing and vomiting. Doesn't eat much yet, but still taking fluids and porridge.

Maid: I've had a maid for about a month now, an Indo helper. She's quite alright doing chores and listens. Not smart but right attitude for now, I would say. Agree with Yany that gotta close 1 eye at times, ezp when u r overloaded with work issues and baby.

Weishy:I have 1st aid training for chn as I'm an early childhood teacher, but when I see my own baby cry, I cant hold my tears back. I'm a trained teacher but still am a mother.

Night feeds: Jave has all along been having night feeds, since birth till now. Got usedd to it and dun find it a chore anymore.
happy.gif
 
Yany,ya the cake is scary! Hahaha thats why i cannot understand why some ppl would order cakes with edible photos on them, Its like chopping their own faces into pieces....

Oh so Kyra wakes abt 3x at night for milk feeds too? Looks like we are in the same boat.I will jus roll over and nurse her -we both dun open our eyes at all..hahaha.

And i wanted to give up BF once Mischa turns 1...guess what? I made up my mind today to continue for as long as my mind can still take it...so sayang to give up now when Mischa can tell me she wants to nurse...its such a sweet feeling...i so 'bu4 she2 de2',....now i know why my fren told me she cried for days when she stopped BF aft 15mths!
 
Night feeds: Me & hubby decided to stop Ethan's habit of night feeding after I stopped breast feeding (when he turned 6 months). Was only successfully weened off milk at night at 8 months. Now we only give him milk if he wakes up to play with eyes open big big. Most days, he sleeps through but some days he wakes up cos of teething pain or wind in tummy. But that said, I do think there is a growth spurt around 11-12 months cos Ethan gets more hungry during the day leh...eat so much, its scary!

S@l: Oh, I know what you mean, I still remember the time when Ethan started to loose interest in feeding and every time I was thinking to myself - ok, treasure this moment, its going to be your last time...its a very special feeling to know that only you can pacify your child.

Plim: thats a pretty cake! I'm guessing from ecreative?
 
yany,
must really try and do more bakes la... hv been doing on and off but always never for big occasions like tat cos no time to try out first, scared not edible :p

S@L,
wa, u very good hor, can b/feed so long... but wat u're doing for Mischa's night feed does sound easy ;) hehehe

michviv,
yup, spot on... quite a number of 1s to choose from their website... but this was the only 1 that fits the theme of 'barnyard' and i managed to have 2 little piglets standing on the chocolate bridge!
 
Hi mummies

Wondering if anyone has Neo Graden voucher to give away pls? Need it urgently for my boy's birthday this weekend. Can do self collection. Pls PM me if u dun mind. TIA!
 
poochi, brought ash to see doc last night and doc started her on antibiotics
sad.gif
This morn she cough and puked out the milk again
sad.gif


poissons, ash also woke up last night, normally hubby will go make milk and she'll sleep after drinking but last night she stayed awake and tortured hubby!
 
maid update:

wonder am I unlucky or is she unlucky, last night when we reached the house, she came to tell me that maybe she stained the car seat with her menses blood. ( this is not the first time, shee stained my sis's mattress before) and as usual, full of her explaination and excuses that alot come out, describing this and that. I am so tired that none of her describption of how the blood comes out of her body went into my ear and surprising, I did not scold her or blew up,, I just take the car key, ask her to take the pail and water to wipe. I think I am numbed to all her nonsences and excuses.

my 2.5 yrs old nephew so cute, he is always complaining abt the maid too, complained in front of her that she fed him big spoon of porridge instead of small small spoon, complained that when she bath him, she washes his hair till soap water goes into the eyes, yesterday i came out of my mum's toilet in the room, saw him alone sitting on my mum's bed so i asked him why is he alone there and why he closed his eyes, then he told me that auntie is going to bath him and calling for him, i dun understand at first why he must close his eyes, then i realised that he must have thought that if he dun see her, she will not be able to find him
 
happy,
ya i agree with the rest that you have to get this maid transfered out - it's causing you unncessary stress leh. makes me think thrice about getting a maid next year when no. 2 comes along...

plim,
nice cake! i also ordered from ecreative and they managed to only give me one piglet coz they said most of the piglets taken oredi... ahahaa...

langlao3
sorry to hear abt A, hope she's feeling much much better today! *hugs*

re: nite feed
pig07, we can hi-5 liao coz my gal also the same spoilt brat pattern. once she wakes up for milk, just cry and wail as if kena torture and wun open her eyes at all. even if we call her name and tried to pacify her; no use... will keep doing it (now she lagi worst, start to kick and swing her arms in protest) till the TEAT is IN her mouth the she will stop...

lately her daddy is the one getting up to make milk coz i just have no energy!! but lucky for him, she wakes up between 530am-6am lately so we still managed to sleep thru!
happy.gif
no more mid-nite or 3am feeds! hooray!!

re: semi-solid
since my gal is (probably the only ONE left) bo gay; i can't upgrade her to eat more finely chopped food and been feeding her cereal/porridge/mashed/pureed items... sometimes running out of ideas already and she seem to reject 'fish' lately as most of her fish porridge, she'll just refuse to eat.
sad.gif
i feel like my baby still stagnant at about 7-9months in her eating/drinking/growth pattern... and still so underwt! sigh.
sad.gif
 
poochi/langlao,
poor hazel & ashlee. hope they get well soon.

k@ye,
Jovan also cry buckets when i step out of the room to make milk for him. before tat, i'll ask him if it's ok if he just takes water, he'll shake his head vigourously & then jump angrily. then i'll tell him "mummy is going out to make milk for u, wait wait" once i turn ard, he start to cry like someone going to torture him. then i gotta RUN to the kitchen to make milk quickly! dunno when will he understand tat mummy is just going away to make milk, not abandoning him.

poissons/dreamer,
think it's growth spurt. last week, Jovan has 2 portions of dinner and still has >340ml of milk for bedtime. these few days, it's back to normal.
 
Hi all,

All the babies birthday cakes look really beautiful and creative. Nice work mummies on all your efforts for your little ones.

Xmas bash,
Looks like the date for the bash will be on the 29th Nov. Go ahead and arrange it for that day K@ye, just such a shame I won't be able to join you guys because I will be on holiday on that weekend. You gals enjoy yourselves and make sure you post lots of photos.

Anyone had high tea at St Regis? Any comments or recommendations on a good place for high tea?
Thanks

Kittybride,
not true that babies w/o teeth can only eat mashed food leh, cos they can actually munch with their gums. Even tho my gal also 2 teeth, 1 only half grown, she can manage more lumpy food now, including minced meat. But need to gradually do it, and i read somewhere its impt for them not to eat too mashed food now if u want them to develop the muscles for speech. They will also sian if keep eating the same mashed stuff everyday rite?
 
S@L,
You are lucky you can nurse on your side. I cant do that... I find it uncomfortable.... and still have to sit up and nurse. Doing it with eyes closed too....... hahaha. It is a sweet feeling. K would call "mommy" when I pretend to sleep. When I open my eyes and say "you want to nurse?" and she nods her head...
happy.gif
. Initially also thinking of stopping since I am going back to work. Very sian to pump but them again... since she really is my last... I'll continue for my target at 2 years!

Night Feeds,
Instead of having to run to the kitchen to make milk, why not bring a thermos to the room? Just portion out milk powder (with those carrier that sell with 3 containers for 3 feeds..), put water in bottle and leave in the room. Baby wakes up, just take bottle with water, fill with hot water from thermos and add milk powder? Walla... milk without having to leave the room and lessen crying time for baby? I do that with my older kids... lol. Too lazy to go downstairs to kitchen... heehee

Langlao,
Aww.... big hug to A. Hope they get well soon.

Happy,
Your maid really seem to give you loads of unhappy feelings. For your sanity and happiness.... change, ok? Even your nephew can't stand her.....

Kittybride,
I love that gummy smile. Not to worry as I have a friend whos dd didn't have any teeth till her 14th month. She was so worried, took her to have x-ray even. Saw all the pearly whites in her gums still...

Xmas cum Nov Babies Birthday Bash
1. Catering - if the bash is at 3pm, shall we do away with the catering? we can do potluck.
2. Party Bag - i think our babies are too young to enjoy the items in the party bag. i'm going to get Jovan to "do" a simple birthday card for each of the baby. i think tat's more meaningful.
 
kittybride,

mashed food vs lumpy food:

i think i read somewhere that try not to keep giving your bb too much puree or mashed food cos that will not help in term of their speech development, it is kinda of related, i think. of cos cannot give too big cube lah, will get choked but my poor boy has been eating quite unmashed food, his porridge is like rice,dried and grainy and he is eating brown rice and 5 grain rice so it is kinda of like one pc, one pc of grainy rice lor, thanks to the maid, she too lazy and impatient (even though told her so many times) so since 7,8 mths already eat non-puree food and now, my son have 8 teeth and can managed words like bicycle, motorbike :)
 
lazykat,
ya, even i oredi jelak making the mashed food/porridge for her and she is so interested in our adult food; esp the drumstick lah, chicken/pork/beef in sauce/stew!

ya, she munch using her gums when i gave her some minced meat but i worry she will swallow them without properly munching them to pieces - will be bad habit next time; when she decides to swallow bigger chunks of food instead of munching them to tiny pieces.
sad.gif


anyway, i'm still patiently waiting for her pearlie whites to sprout! so far she as stopped drooling and no sign of fever or soft stool. guess there is still some time to go!

happy,
yes, my nanny also gave her the normal rice (like teochew porridge type) which is actually her own son's dinner! she will take one or two scoops from him and then feed my gal!! the rice is grainy but soaked in soup; she will also feed lumpy pieces of potatoes or carrots or fruits.

the way i see her feed; a bit scary coz worried my gal will choke! but my nanny kept saying my gal can eat, blah blah blah...
sad.gif


even during her bday party, before we feed her the bday cake, the nanny oredi feed her other desserts! grrr....

yes, abt the speech development; i read it somewhere too dats y was wondering if i should oredi cut down on pureed/mashed food for her. so far her milestones/development still lagging behind her peers lor...and definitely can't say 'bicycle' like your baby! she still blabbering a lot and refuse to call 'papa'; will just eeee eeee eee when she sees her daddy or wants him to come over.

yany,
ya, actually quite cute to see her gummy smile and still wondering how she'd look like when she has teeth! :D
 
Happy

Your boy can speak already? Wow, that's fast. My gal still ee ee eh eh everyday, can mimble some words though not alot.

Can I know what type of 5 grain rice you give?

Separation anxiety
Recently, my gal has been wailing very hard every morning when I go to work. She will cling on to me tightly, refuse to let me go. So heartpain to see her cry like that... any of you sama sama?
 
kittybride,

every kids are different, my boy also refuse to call papa though we know he can, kids dun like to be tested, the more you want them to call, the more they dun, so usually i dun test him, i just ask him what is this and if he refuse to say, I just say it for him. Like my nephew (his favourite is apple), they will sure have a favourite word and "bicycle" happens to be his

u will be surprise on how much your gal actually knows, have confidence on her gal, she is definitely no lagging in term of milestones, some of us are just more introvert and some dun, I am sure the development are focus on some areas that are not expressed out to you. imagine a child born in jan and one born in dec are place in the same pri 1 and so far, everyone is doing fine, they catch up in no time and once her teeth comes out, it might be like pop corn, and some kids dun have any symptons, she could be one of the lucky one ( my boy dun have much symptons and fever too, i dun even know he is teething till my sis told me)

she is so clever, she can manage well on her food lah, just that her mum worrys unduly lah. try not to restrain her too much on what she wants to eat (also cannot anything also can too lah) else she will reject solid later, good that she shows interest in food and if i feed you one whole year of puree porridge, you want to eat more, i am sure you want varities too rather than abalone everyday right :) start with small spoonful lor, that's why i quickly take over the task of feeding my son when i saw my maid comes out with those porridge that looks like barley. a few times when the maid feeds him, he choked and cough and the maid will say "poor thing, you choke ah, aiyo"
 
night feed

Agree with Yany, I'll bring in the feeding stuff at night before going to bed. And sometimes hubby will help to make the night feed too.

Happy

Think you might consider to change your maid. My previous one also bad, I have her for 9 months before I change. Also dun know why i endure so long. She's also not clean, so I ended up steralizing my baby's bottles too. In fact, I ended up sleeping close to 1 am each day while she sleeps at 10 pm coz I need to do her "unfinish" work.
 
Catherine, that's very sweet of you & Jovan!

Kitty, agree with Happy. U will be surprised at what Chloe knows. I never taught Claire how to use the straw and one day out of boredom, i just pass the combi cup to her and try. She knows how to suck the water from the cup using the straw!!!
 
gemini: I used to get the crying alot when I leave the house for work. Managed to solve it by saying "mummy has to go to work, work okie?" and he kinda understands. You can also try to get your girl into a routine so she knows what to expect. Before I leave, I declare the I'm going for "work", then I ask him to give me a kiss, then we wave bye bye...today he just told me "bye...bye" this morning.

Happy: your boy is very advanced in linguistics ah if he can manage words like "bicycle". My boy is still stuck at 2 syllables. The strange thing is, before his 1st birthday party, can only say a few words, after party, suddenly new words like "bubble" and "go" for go out appear. haha.
 
possions/dreamer
same for Eliza too! it's been about 3 days that she'll wake up at 1am+ to cry...eventually if water & burping doesn't help it's milk, after which she'll somewhat peacefully go back to sleep.

normally i'll carry her out to the kitchen to make the milk if she wakes up in the middle of the night for it. i'll sit her on the kitchen top cos she'll cling on to me if i attempt to put her on the floor. then she'll guai guai watch me make milk..cos she'll know it's for her.
it drives me nuts sometimes cos i'm so sleepy and she'll cry like the world's going to end, even the pacifier doesn't help, she'll take it and throw it away!

i'm slowly starting to prepare for Eliza's birthday party! it's on her actual day though, on the 30th. making invites to print for now...:p
 
regards straw:

yes yes, actually they can start using at 7, 8 mths, becos we think they cannot so we dun let them try and delay them, we adult are the ones delaying their development leh ;-) and becos they choke and cough on straw, we thought they cannot and are not ready, but we got to teach them to take in small sip and not place the straw too long into their throat and keep on sucking, then will not choke, but they are all genuis leh. so think again if next time you say my son or my gal cannot do this and do that , they really cannot or you think they cannot ? ;-)

i very wicked, i always think my son is adult and can do alot of things until my parents keep saying that my son under my care, dunno one day will fall how many times but so far none and it is under my hb's care that he fell (my hb very overprotective, cause himself backache and tired out cos he dun trust his son that he can managed without his dad guide him like he is make of jelly) but i am lazy and wicked too lah so sometimes my son also quite poor thing. I believe wild grass is stronger than plant in the nursery but i double standard too, i pamper him with lots of toys and useless things.

chinese has a saying, you got to be tough with sons so that he grew up knowing what to do but gentle and pamper daughter so that next time, she is not used to toughness and will not take in suffering, therefore she will find someone that really can take care of her, i strongly believe that, if i have a daughter, to be selfish, i will pamper her alot and tell her never suffer with a man, find someone that can give you a good life cos i am not goin to make you get used to that kind of suffering life, i rather my gal be materialistic than able to take suffering type else i so heart pain :-(
 
michviv,

my son average only, just that like i mentioned, each kid got favourites words so they keep repeating until tired than they stop and say new words but actually they know already. all those new words that he spoke after his birthday he knows long ago. bubble just becomes interesting to him now cos he tired of the same words liao
 
Hi Yany,
when got more than 1 maids hor, surely will see trouble brewing. The same happened when my second maid arrive. And to top it up, there's my sister's maid.. making it 3 maids under the same roof. Then 2 will be closer and then in way 'attack' the other. Then the most experience one will try to act smart to give instructions. When i learnt of it, i blew my top. Cos i didnt want the more experienced one to feel like she is the 'chief maid'. I told them that they are all equal. All are maids (i felt bad for having to spell it so directly to them). The only difference about them is they doing different scope of work.. and different salary amount. We wanted the most experienced one to feel appreciated, hence we up her salary. But that doesnt give her the right to order the 2 around. As i suppose the other 2 wont like to be ordered around.

Hi Kittybride,
I met up with my CL last week. she told me thru her experience that when I am nearer to delivery, kiros may be more sticky and throwing more tantrum as can sense the rivalry more.

Hi Langlao,
Hope Ashlee is feeling better now. Kiros will always puke his milk when unwell. But i remember somewhere that its good they puke, especially when having cough, as that would mean the phelgm will come out as well.

Kiros couldnt sit very long unassisted. And i think he will take a long while to learn to walk as he couldnt even stand staright or cruise. My mum said it runs in the family.. All has big backside. However, he can say words of more than 1 syllabus. Like UMBRELLA, orange, apple that. not very clearly.. but we can make it out. we bought him a packet of toy fruits and taught him several names. then we we tested him which is which, was so susprise he can remember. I remember reading somewhere that the kids pick and learn the most uptill age 3.

Sunday, when he saw my hubby and I back standing at the gate.. he shouted 'PAPA' unexpectdly for the 1st time.. then he jump and jump in his walker.. wa lau.. my husband so happy lor..

my hb still waiting for chloe to call her papa or dada... but so far, he's just 'eeee eee eee' to her! hiak hiak hiak...

happy,
my hb also more protective of my gal. i prefer to let her fall and learn than to being protected all the way; later mommy is the one suffering coz hv to pick up after her mess while daddy where got bother, just so long their princess call them 'daddy' and smile big time, their hearts sure melt! :p

my gal likes to take things out of boxes, throw things onto the floor, step on books/magazines/newspapers that she threw on the floor. kick up a fuss if we dun allow her to do it HER way and even when kena 'slap' on the hand for being notti; she will retaliate big time but banging both hands on the table in protest while making very angry/grumbling noises!

i rolled my eyes at my hb when she does that coz last time when i pull her away after sternly saying 'NO', he said dun hv to raise my voice. so now i let him taste my gal's POWER. ahahaa...
