Stranded at the Playground 05 Aug '09

Today while we were going home, we realised we were locked out as we tried very hard to open the wooden door but in vain. End up calling for a locksmith who charged us $50 for hammering the door to release the catch that was stuck. Very ex!

It took the locksmith 45 min to come to our rescue. While waiting, we brought Ashlynn to the playground. Poor daddy even had to eat his packed dinner at the playground. It was quite late in the night already and people must be wondering why we were loitering at the playground with a toddler.

Lucky daddy was with us when this happened. Otherwise, I would have panicked.

Ashlynn's First Black Tee

I bought a personalised tee for Ashlynn from an internet spree. It's black in colour and this is her first black tee. I thought she looked quite nice in it. Never buy any black tops for her as I thought babies look dull in black. But now she's so grown up, so I thought it's time to dress her in mummy's favourite clothes colour.

P/S: Mummy's wardrobe is 80% black. haha... Daddy can't the difference in my clothes as he feels that all looks the same. So I always buy new clothes secretly without him noticing.

This is the tee. Very cute.

From Pretend to Real 01 Aug '09

She was pretending to cry at Swensons when she bent her head to low and hit her mouth against the table. Ended up crying for real. It was a funny sight.

Dinner at Swensons 01 Aug '09

After her lesson at LNT, Ashlynn refused to nap. I was worried that she will be cranky at dinner. I was right. As usual, she refused to eat her porridge. We had to follow granny's method to bribe her with pork floss. Still it did not work. Told daddy to take out his iPhone to let her play with the games which she enjoyed. She became engrossed with the games so much so that I fed her mouth after mouth quite easily.

Look at her many naughty expressions after she finished her porridge and started disturbing us.

Her latest pose. She doen't do the xiao xi xi. Instead she will tilt her head low to one side.

Ashlynn likes fried stuffs 30 Jul '09

Daddy has been very busy at the beginning of the week so he did not get to see ashlynn for 2 days as he worked late. Yesterday we decided to try to come home earlier to bring her out for dinner. We went to sakae sushi at eastpoint.

As usual, I tried to feed her the rice from my sushi but she shook her head vigourously to indicate that she doesn't want. But later on I gave her a piece of carrot from my tempura veg and she munched on it happily, requesting for more. She also ate some chawanmushi, prefering the fried carrot though. I also gave her fried salmon and she took it happily.

So my conclusion is that she likes to eat fried food as she also enjoys chicken wings and french fries. Luckily she is considered quite slim, so can eat more. Just that it is not healthy. But as long as she eats, we are happy.

Family Outing to Wild Wild Wet 26 Jul '09

As Grandpa has some 1-1 promotion to Wild Wild Wet, we decided to bring Ashlynn there as we know that she loves playing with water. We end up only paying for 1 pax as Grandpa was considered senior citizen (he has some member card) and he can bring in one pax for free. So total = $15.50 for 4 persons. Haha...

Din manage to take pictures as daddy kept our bag in the locker. duh... Sob sob... Anyway, Ashlynn enjoyed herself. We could tell that she didn't want to leave the pool as she stayed away from the edge of the pool where granny was waiting. She squealed as daddy brought her to play the slide. There was once she slipped and fell flat on her back. Lucky I put on a life jacket for her so she floated on water. Apparently she was not afraid. In fact I was more shocked than her. Seeing that she enjoyed herself, granny said she will bring her there again since they have free entry and there was a direct bus from their home.

We thought Ashlynn will knock out upon reaching home. In the end, she only napped for less than an hour. Daddy and I were so tired but this girl of ours leave us no chance to rest. Sigh...

Sexy girl! The swimsuit is so adorable...

After the swim, we explored E-Hub.

Ashlynn's Vocab 26 Jul '09

Ashlynn has always been slower in her speech development compared to her peers. I attribute this to us talking little to her. Especially me, who is always busy with school work and housework.

We were even worried if she will speak at all initially. However over the past 2 months, she seemed to be picking up words quite easily.

Word she have said so far (not many but we are still glad):
bag, bear, bye, papa, mama, da de (daddy), ba be (baby), take, ye ye, nai nai, dog, milk, do-a (dora), bread, bird.

Looking forward to hear more from her golden mouth. We used to joke that there's gold in her mouth as she refused to speak when she was younger.
