Xuan and Pooh plays the trumpet

Drawing

I'm quite amazed to see her draw such a tiny circle nicely. Her control of her wrist is getting better. Time to start teaching her how to hold the pen properly :)

A lion is not scary...I am!

A lion with no hands and legs...and a crooked smile...not scary...*BITE!*

Butterfly

I wish I can capture more of the funny things that she says now. Kids do say the darnest things.

I did something new today, hooray horray hooray

I know I look sulky (Mama So finds this look irresistably adorable) but I actually did a lot of new things today...(p/s notice the saliva stains on grandma'a shoulder)

...like going for my first test drive...

...sitting on the high chair (no I can't really sit without support yet)...

...learning how to walk... I can lock my knees and stand really straight!

And taking out jiejie's old toy to bite, I mean play...

Grandma always make me do a lot of fun things :):):)

Sweeping the floor

Xuan has taken interest in housework and tries to help out when she can :):)

Happy Mother's Day!

My first mother's day card! :D:D I was quite thrilled to find it in Xuan's bag, but when I said "thank you" to her, she was too busy playing with some toy to talk to me :S:S Anyway, didi found it fascinating:

I believe that's her palm prints :):)

And that should be her "signature" beside her name :):)

Thank you teachers from My First Skool! I'll probably try to laminate it or something :):)

My little pianist

I pasted CDEFGABC on the piano keys to help her identify the middle C. A friend who's a professional musician once adviced me to have her learn piano for theory and stuff at 4 years old before letting her take up a Chinese Orchestra instrument at around 6 years old. (Probably erhu, pipa, or yangqin. Erhu for Chern maybe. Why not teach her dizi myself? Too noisy! Hahahaha :P )

Going outdoors...

...is going to be a problem soon cos of swine flu :( Her childcare has suspended outdoor activities so we try to bring her out when we can.

Cheering for Mama So at East Coast Park during the interschool aquathlon. Such a beautiful beach~ (Mama So got swept away by the current during the swim :S and got 6th)

First trip to the zoo!

"We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you, you, you can come too, too, too, we're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo~~"

VERY VERY VERY HOT. Started out happy, ended up spanking and crying. I thought she started her "terrible twos" half a year ago, but it's getting worse. She throws the things that she doesn't want and will demand (i.e. scream and cry) to eat something that has fallen to the ground. Doesn't help that didi is starting to be curious and touches everything, therefore intruding into jiejie's territory and resulting in her screaming "Ah didi don't touch jiejie book! Mommy you see didi! Naughty boy! Ahhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~!!!!!"

Sigh.

No regrets though :) Still think she's cute.
