Throw rubbish

My little girl helps Mama So throw rubbish and pass things to Papa So when I'm lazy :P:P

Perserverance (for both toddler and mother)

Xuan is learning how to put on her slippers. She couldn't get it on so she gets frustrated and says 鞋!鞋!It's easy when she wants to take them off, she just go 踢踢踢 and they're out. With her sandles it's a bit more tricky. She first learnt to "tear off" the velcro strip, then 踢踢踢 the shoes out, but now I teach her to push off the shoe from the the back of her foot. She's learning to feel her way out of the sleeve hole when we put on her shirt, and to pull the shirt off when we bathe her too. Requires a lot of patience, think we've been doing this for about a month already! But great achievement, I'd say!

The only difficult part is getting her to put her shoes back on the rack after she kicked them off. She used to happily put them neatly on the rack. Now whenever I say 放回去 she would purposely run off. Well I have a lot of time to spare, so I leave the shoes where they are and ask nicely the next time she passes by the shoes. Usually after a few rounds of pressing she'd put them back. Hope this cultivates some good habits in her.

Cute Meoldy

Funny how she can have so many different expressions drinking water alone (at least to me) :):):)






She is learning how to drink from a cup now. I'm wondering if I should start weaning her off the bottle for milk drinking. The last time I tried putting her milk into the cup-sprout thingy, she didn't want to take the milk. Hmmm. But I will try again. By the way this Tollyjoy bottle is so air tight that no water spills from it even when u turn it upside down.

Melody's new room!

We are turning the spare room into a toddler's room! :D Mommy So is very excited but doesn't have enough creative juice... Luckily I saw these wall stickers at HomeFix and I fell in love with it immediately!

Xuan seems to like it too cos she goes in everyday and says "花" :):)

Taking off her shoe

Xuan knows how to step in and out of her shorts and stretch out her arms as I guide the sleeve hole towards her hands. Now she's learning how to take off her shoes :):)

Diaper changing

The following scene is a little R(A) but it happens everyday......

Now even when she drops something, I ask her to pick it up, she responds with "跑跑跑" and runs away! Cheeky little fellow!
