It has been another 1 long month since I last blogged. I guess without a helper, everyday is like a rush. I barely have time to stop and do something else besides my work, kids, and housework. When I do manage to squeeze out some time, I sneak off for my long overdue facial, coffee and egg fix at Ya Kun or 1 hour power shopping to satisfy my shopping addiction. Time to blog on their updates before I forget.
Big Ash: She is 3 years and 2 months now. Talks very well. Her vocab can be quite impressive but sometimes she does find it difficult to express herslf when she tends to stumble on her words. She loves to role play as a teacher. There was once she sat at the playmat, drew out a circular block and told me "see, a circle has no corners. A rectangle has one, two, three, four corners". Loves to ask "wh?" questions. For example: A: Where are we going? M: We are going to takashimaya. A: Why we go takashimaya? M: Because we want to eat dinner. A: Why we want to eat dinner? M: Because we are hungry. A: Why we are hungry? M: erm, I don't know. A: Why you always don't know? or Why you don't know again? To end the conversation, I will quickly find something to distract her. Otherwise her whys will continue forever. We are still feeding her baby cereal for breakfast. Argghhhh... She is not very open to try new foods. Only on rare occasions she will take bread. Feeding her lunch and dinner is still quite a chore as she takes quite a while to finish (if she even finishes) her food. She has superb memory. 5 months back, we bought a new car. Until now, she will ask about the new car. In my conversations with daddy, she always picks up information and remembers them. I ask her if she wanted to learn ballet, she replied to say no as Rheanne is the one learning ballet. I was quite surprised how she can provide this information as I have never told her explicitly before that Rheanne is learning ballet. Let me move on to our second darling now.
Small A: He is approaching his big 1 in a month's time. Somehow, he feels more babylish to me than Ashlynn. We thought he is intellectually faster than Ashlynn but definitely slower in terms of paschomotor skills. He can pull himself to stand, but not standing up without assistance yet. So I doubt he will start walking on his birthday. He can stand unsupported for a while, like a good 5 seconds. Cruises around quite well. sometimes he moves from one furniture to another without support. He loves to open our drawers like any other babies. He is wary that his finger will get clamped so he closes the drawers slowly and pulls out his fingers. He understands and acts out some words like shake your body, flying kiss (random), dancing, clap your hands, gong xi, twinkle twinkle little star. bye bye, hello. He articulated some words like nai nai, teh teh (cheh cheh), papa, mama, bear bear, mum mum. Loves to laugh, make funny faces and is such a cheeky boy. He wants attention more compared to when he was younger. He used to be a breeze to look after, but now can be quite naughty. But I feel that he gets contented more easily. That's all I can remember at 6am for now. I shall try to be more regular in my updates to capture their growing up stages. Back to my school work.
