bonding time / 吃 小 鱼

We went to NTUC in the afternoon and it was very crowded as everyone wanted to stock up food for the coming Chinese New Year. Daddy wants to buy black chicken for the reunion dinner but all sold out as mummy loves to eat black chicken herbal soup.

Bonding time with daddy & mummy

Mummy bought some simple chinese books during the previous book fest and i am begining to like it as i keep taking the same book mummy read to me on "可 爱 的 小 黄 鸭" book. Mummy will read to me and point each word. As i have known some simple chinese words, mummy point each word of "吃 小 鱼” and i said it in each word. Mummy wants me to have an idea of reading it together.

hair clips / super attentive @class

Mummy noticed every friday i slept late for my afternoon nap and had to woke me up to go to school. Mummy is pleased that i am very very attentive today @class. My eyes glued on teacher and played along with the activities unlike last week, quite cranky. After class, went to Taka to meet daddy. Daddy likes the dress i wore today and he eyed a Fox dress for me and went to Paragon outlet but disappointed, don't have my size.
I played with the hairband while mummy fancied pink hairclips and bought for me.

appetite back to normal

Hurray! Finally i'm fully recovered and my appetite was back too. I ate cereal only for the past few days and yesterday evening, mummy cooked "mee sua" at last minute to see if i wanted to eat. They said i've lost weight. This morning, i played for more than an hour at Ikea as i haven't been there for the past few days. I started to get interest in drawing with color pens and drew or rather scribbled on drawing paper provided by Ikea. Mummy taught me how to hold a pen properly and sometimes i get it right, though most of the time i didn't.

See how happy i am when daddy played with me. Mummy quickly video me with my infectious laughter again. Mummy wants to keep it a memory of my happy time.

4 hrs afternoon nap!!! / GD cards recognition

OMG! I broke record on my afternoon nap..... I slept 4 hrs from 12-4pm! The longest i slept is 3hrs which is usually rare. Mummy don't want to wake me up as i'm easily tired due to recently been unwell and have rashes. Today my rashes almost gone with some faint spots on my hands and legs. See how happy i am!
And here comes the testing time....oh no! GD don't recommend parents to test on us but mummy curious and i was having fun! no harm, right? I also recognised handwritten english and chinese words. When i read "爸爸” on mummy's handwritten word infront of daddy yesterday, daddy was soooooo happy and touched and hugged me with love! ooohhh!!!

p/s : need to raise the speaker volume as i said it softly

rashes lessen

Yeah! my rashes lessen and are much better so is my mood! Aunt Elaine visited us and we went to Ikea for a stroll. My appetite is also getting better.

Mummy wants to clarify on the type of barley with 2 medicine shops and the verdicts are the same : Both western & china type of barley have the same cooling effect, just that the latter are more effective as it has some medicinal ingredients that helps on the body (which mummy can't understand what is it) though the taste isn't that great. Mummy boiled barley for me again and mixed it with my milk, cereal and used syringe to feed me with barley water as i didn't drink much water since i got rashes.

I'm 18th month old! / couplet words

I'm 18th month old today! Mummy boiled barley water for me. Yes...home-made barley. Mummy heard from neighbour that drinking barley water will help to heal my rash. Mummy bought it from medicine shop and it must be from china type as the western type is too cooling for toddlers/kids. The shop seller also recommended to use gripewater too. Mummy desperate and try both methods and indeed my rashes getting better by the night. My face isn't that red and so are my hands.

Mummy started couplet words today from the GD cards since i have learn more than 200 words. Mummy noticed i can learn fast now and recognise handwritten words which mummy tested me on using wipe-off card.

Motor skills acquired :

Lately, i mumble much to myself and try to say the numerics and alphabets in sequence order.....a, b, c, d, e, f ......1, 2, 3, 4.

rashes spread

oh no....the rashes spread to my legs and hands though my chest area is getting better. My face is getting redder and I am getting more irritable. Mummy applied calamine lotion to see if it helps.
