The tradition carries on

One night after dinner, K asked for naya bread. I thought she wanted kaya bread but I realised it was Nutella bread she wanted. Actually, I should say it was the nutella she wanted. Not quite the bread. That was just the holder.

A sweet father-daughter moment

Last night, K asked P to tie her hair. Much to P's horror, tho' also do think that he was rather pleased. He had never tied anyone's hair before so hadn't the faintest idea how to. I was a little slow in capturing the moment. She was so super patient and sat there for a good 5 minutes while he fumbled with getting her hair into a little ponytail. He finally managed to tie it but he commented that she looked rather Ah Soh. With practice, am sure he'd get better.

Sewing again

I realise that I sew in spurts. I would go crazy and sew, sew, sew and then take a long break. I haven't been posting much on my sewing cos it's either not worth blogging about or I just haven't been sewing.

We are going to HK next month. Didn't want to buy any warm clothes for Kim, only for her to wear it once. Afterall, we do live in Singapore. Tried to borrow some but none were suitable so decided to sew a pullover. I had already bought a nice fleece fabric. Just needed to take out the pattern, cut the fabric and sew away. I decided to add a kangaroo pocket to it since she loves playing with pockets these days.

The official toddler's head tretcher

I was putting K to bed last night. She wanted to put her head on my tummy. That is how she goes to sleep these days. So I wait for her to fall asleep and then move her onto her pillow.

As she lay on me, she scratched her head and said, "itchy". Then she said, "Mama, tretch." She wanted me to help her scratch her head. Hilarious. So I did. And when I stopped, she said, "thumb more." Refused to let me stop. I scratched her little round head several times, front, back and sides. Only then did she allow me to stop. Haha. Funny girl.

For papa Peen

What your daughter was up to after her lunch.

Waiting for the mattress to be laid out, she carries Dumbo and sits at her fave spot. Everyone else seems to be helping in some way to keep the toys. Our baby helps by staying out of their way I guess.



She lies on her mattress and finishes ALL her milk. Without any coaxing or persuasion! A 5-days-a-week miracle. Notice that she is holding one of Dumbo's foot? :)



She falls asleep hugging Dumbo in like 30s after being patted by the teacher. Haiz. Why isn't it that simple at home? Grrrrr.....

For the love of sauce, even if it's Chilli

Today marks a special day for our little one. I decided that I wanted to have some KFC for dinner so the husband also had to have that. But he also bought chicken rice so that he could have the rice with the KFC chicken. Was going to buy some fish and chips for the little one but decided against it. Thot we'd "train" her to eat what we eat.

Gave her a tiny piece of the chicken and watching her reaction realised that it was not just crispy but also spicy. Duh, mummy! She ate it but then stuck her tongue out and tried to wipe it while saying, "Hot hot."

Oops. She didn't want anymore so ended up giving her fries instead. She then spotted the mixture of ketchup and chilli sauce and wanted it. I told her that it was hot but still she wanted it. So I dipped my finger into it and let her lick it. She said it was hot and still wanted more. So I dipped her fries into the sauce and she happily ate it. I dipped the chicken into the sauce and she ate that too! Heh heh. So she finished the little bit of chicken pieces I gave her and most of the fries. All because there was the sauce. The magical sauce. A trump card.

Hi5 Trio

We are semi-recovering from our bout of stomach flu. Not fun at all. It all started with K and this time, I wasn't spared either. :( She was very subdued for two whole days, eating even less than usual (is that even possible?!). So when I had to drive alone, I had to make sure she was entertained and happy so she doesn't cry about wanting to be carried the whole time.

End result? She got to watch Hi5 with her two furry friends.

Ribbon dance

She found a piece of ribbon the other day and had some fun with it.
