A date with my princess

I've been looking forward to have a private date with Xixi for a long time, especially after YiYi's arrival. I want to send the signal to her, she is still my loving princess, i'm still dotting her a lot. I don't want her to feel left out, especially when i'm busy with meimei & can't attend to her immediately.

Here we go, daddy is needed as we are using corporate card for the entrance of ...

Yes, the zoo (bye Daddy after taking this photo)

Waiting for the show

Her favorite Barney

Her must have session in the zoo

Munching her favorite - Alphabet & number biscuit.

btw, she always ask for 10 biscuits at home, & cunning mummy only give her No. 10, haa

Overall, i'm surprised Xixi is NOT interested in the animals at all! When i ask her "u wan to see the Elephant (or others like zebra, tiger, lion etc)?" NO was the constant answer. End up, she still prefer water play.

Ok mummy can save $$$ now, water play is a lot cheaper than the zoo entrance fees. (luckily this trip is free...

Turning 3

My little precious turning 3 today.

Recently,
- she exhibit a heightened thirst for learning to things around her

- start brushing her tooth (i know she is late)

- like to 扮美美
Previously, once we dress her nicely, she will go & tell us, "See, i so nice!"
Now, she will approach you & WAITING for u to praise her!

- continue sing a lot

Her chinese teacher commented she know a lot of chinese songs (even she has not taught XX before) & asked if i teach her any at home. Yes, i even point the words to her when i sing to her. & this is how she learn (even when i have no time for her at home) ...

- words recognition

The above video clip shown how she "read" the chinese wording (as if she really know, haa)

In fact, when she play the sticker with me few days ago, she told me she want to take out the HELLO sticker. & yes, i saw her peeling out the hello wording sticker after that. Now she will not confuse between Jia Yi (her best friend in CC) & Chen Yi when she see the word "Chen Yi" at home.

- accepted 妹妹 as family member
Whenever she mentioned abt our family, she will include 妹妹 now. She will sayang & play with her. She will pass her pacifier etc. At least we know she is not resisting the new member.

- further improve on number
She loves number a lot. She is able to remember the family members birthdate now & mummy is trying to teach her how to read the clock.

- improve on toilet training
She finally diaper free in daytime before her BD, btw, only first time, haa.

- improve on fine motor skill

Another weaker area of her. She FINALLY willing to play her sticker, how? not her Barney or Dora sticker, but the number sticker.

- improve on verbal conversation
She talks a lot now. Ya, but not everyone understand as it's difficult to catch what her ascent. Sometimes, we wish there is "switch off button" as she just talk FREELY & don't care if 妹妹 is sleeping,

Cake chosen by her

This year, it's Barney.

XX knows want she want & her decision is firm.

We had ordered this cake months earlier & hey, we think, why not get the birthday gal to choose her own cake?

There were many more cuter design *i think* in that website, but she insist to choose this one, after we have asked / tested thousand times.

Ok, she gets what she want.

YiYi's milk supply

Honestly, i've been proud of myself for breast feeding Yiyi until now.

The flow has been satisfying.

Yiyi's reaction & satisfying facial expression has been encouraging. 

There are so many tiny sounds in my mind fighting with each other about stopping bf my 2nd gal at this stage.

Well, the decision is clear & firm, i gonna stop it soon.

Till these stock finish, Yiyi will have to rely solely on formula soon.

Science Centre

Daddy Mummy, I'm ready.

Let's go!

Honestly, most of the scientific stuff are too "chim" for XX, end up she enjoy most in the library room where there are some toys for kid.

O, not to forget this.

Right before we left, we found this cute "Magic Mirror"

Bye bye.

Meal that kids can't resist.

Happy morning

As mummy is still on maternity leave, there is more time for Xixi in the morning.
I will
- tickle her to wake up
- brush the teeth with her
- potty time
- dress her
Simple task, but regret to say that i did not do all these with her in normal days.
Because, mummy leave for work when she is still in nana land...
