Hallo mommies!!
Greetings from Shanghai. Yeah still here till the summer holidays begin and we'll head back. Today is one of the days where I'm feeling nostalgic. We were staying in this weekend coz' Nat is down with fever. HFMD is also on the rise here as well, and there were a few cases in her school, so I'm also watching out to see if she's got spots. And as I spent home this weekend with the cheeky gal, watching her prancing around (yes, even with fever), I begin to think about how she was like 2 years or even a year back.
2 years ago, on this day, she still hasn't started solids, still learning to sit up. And a year back, she hasn't even said a word except baba and mama. Today, she's just so chitty and chatty, asks questions, so full of expressions. Jumps up and down wherever she goes. Skips, runs. You name it, you got it.
And she also loves to sing. Knows all the songs she learns in her classes. And she simply loves Bruno Mars! And she's such a copycat these days. Loves to imitate her teachers, us. Next year around this time, who knows what she'll surprise us with.
Come this August, Nat will be dropped off in school. *gasp* I cannot believe that the day is finally arriving. But this is also an indication to me that I need to learn to slowly let go. That I can no longer baby her like I used to. We also just got back from a holiday to Hong Kong. Yes, I am such a chicken and is the first time I'm taking her for a holiday outside Singapore, and I even had to ask my mom along.
Hhehhee. Thank God for her, I finally got the break I really wanted. It was fun to watch DH and her having good fun at Disney and she was really such a sweet kid while I took my mom shopping. She just sat in her stroller all the way and talked to her Mickey keychain toy we bought her. Of course she had moments when she was bored and she was happy watching sesame street videos from her itouch. Napped well in her stroller and ate very well during this trip.
It was such a great holiday for us. I flew over to HK on my own with her too coz' DH was there for work first and mom flew in from Singapore. Maybe it was just 2 hours, so it was manageable. How is everyone doing? Any more pregnancy good news? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
