Missy going to library Again

two days back, i brought missy to library, again. Trying to borrow some books to
occupy my time during day time when missy in school and bb boy sleeping. Found this book "Taking Medicine" mm.. good one, we've been looking for such book to tell missy when sick must take medicine to get well.

We have hard time getting her to eat flu syrup each time she is having fever, ended up, we have to use suppository (put through backside).

so, hopefully with the book (just like i let her read the toilet book last time), she can understand and willing to eat medicine when sick.




Missy and her new hair band which i bought on our way to the library, she is posing for me.. cant stand her, looks so vain..

Flash Card @ 2 month old

I started to flash the RBW cards for lil boy, he seems interested now compare to two weeks back. one reason being, he can see clearer now. RWB means Red, White Black cards, which are colours that can be seen clearer by baby of below 3 months old.

I did the same for missy last time, but i think i only started after 3 months or something.

Since i know how flash cards work for bb right brain, i shall do more of the speed card flashing to him so that he too can benefit from it.



Happy Ealry educating our child !

lil boy & his smiles

Lil master likes few things:

1. Bathing, till now, he has never cry during bathing, but smileee..

2. likes people talking to him.. he will make cooing sound as if he is answering us and smiles when we talk to him

3. milk, he wants mean he wants. no waiting time allowed.



these type of pictures, we only manage to capture when missy is 3 months plus. but lil master, we can see him at smiling mode when he is one month plus. amazing. maybe he is a more cheerful boy ?

bb Boy hair cutting

Forgot to record the hair cutting and eye brow shaving for my bb.

Mum started by shortening bb's frindge, then the back of his hair, which is growing fast.




bb is sleeping through the whole process, just like his sister last time. Missy is also sleeping through when we cut her hair and shave her brow last time.. hee



After we were done, we found the hair's lenghth not equal, so i help to trim a bit,. wow..first time i cut anyone's hair.. hee.. and missy is so happy posing for his daddy..



After bb's hair cut, clean and fresh, with his green bodysuit, he looks so fresh



so, he looks more like me or his daddy ? hee

Missy & her painting

Missy loves to do painting.. she always requesy " mummy, i want to do painting.." so i have to take out her colouring materials and let her have fun..

she will darw something and tell me , mummy see.. see.. this is big fish, this is small fish.. which is correct, she draws something fish-liked shapes, one bigger than another..wow.. impressive.



then she will draw her banana again, and tell me, mummy, i draw banana.. and just past few days, she drew rain drop thing with broken lines from top to bottom, which she descibed it as raining.. and she drew many dots from top to bottom, which she described it as rain drops.. mm.. my girl can relate things she sees into her painting more vividly now..

usually, i will help her to add more things into her painting like i will add some cloud, and add lighting (zig zag ).. she will then ask me to draw more things.. haa.. we now will draw house, with triangle as roof and rectange/square as house..

it's getting fun to get missy into doing her painting/drawing, we started with finger paint, now, it evolves into more actual drawing and painting.. cool !

she also can recognise more colours now.. primary colour like red/yellow/blue, secondary colour like green/purple/orange.. she still mix up sometimes, but i m sure she will get them right in no time.

she can recognise A, B, C, D (caps) and also their sounds, she knows other letter's sound, but not the letter itself, so i, still trying to teach her as she sometimes mix up like E & F, she always say E is F..haa..

After that, shall let her try on numbers 1 to 10. SM suppose to know all these, but missy hates her dots cards. wonder why..hope she wont hate maths.

Mum's birthday



we celebrated mum's bday at home last Friday,with my home baked cake.. heee.. which turn out not so delicious, n=but it's the thoughts that count la.. heee

Happy Birthday Mum !

Breastfeeding jouney



I have breastfed my bb boy for two months now.. i almost cant believe it. I really feel good each time i bf him. as im thinking, im giving him the best food.

so, yesterday we went to buy the coler bag, which will enable me to store expressed bm when i go back to work. When i was having missy, i wanted to buy the bag too, but, ,my determination was not that strong then, due to sore nipples and all, thus i gave up after merely 1 month, so did not get to buy the bag for the purpose.

so, now after 2 months, my milk still coming, now is supply more than demand, as bb is not taking so much. if i express after 3 hours, i can get 250 ml.. my boy only drink 150ml the most each time.

so, i guess i will be able to continue, mum is cooking papaya soup or trotter peanuts soup for me eveyday. hee.. thanks to her really.


so, with the right gadget, right flow, we shall continue as long as we can , for u my dear baby.

lil missy @ library


Sunday, we went to libary to register for membershop for lil brother, so i ask missy to look for books and find a seat and wait for mummy while mummy do some things, she said "mm".. so i left her.

when i was back , after less tnan 5 min, i saw her bringing two books, climb up the train seat and flipping books.. wow.. my girl is really growing up, doesn;t she ? her action seems so mature

then, she come down again, looking for more books, oh.. well, i guess she find this "fun" instead of really looking through the books, she brought back Thunderstorm book, questions children ask.. mm.. not bad, so i borrowed these books instead.

Muak, my lil missy will be 31 months this weekend. cheers !

missy sick last week - April 10

lil missy is so sick last week with high fever making us all so nervous and panicky. usually her fever will go down after 1 day.. but this round, it lasted 2days and with highest 39.9 deg cel. scared the hell out of us..

went to KKh A&E, test urine, confirm not UTI, not HFMD, doc just say viral infection and will go down after few days. missy's mouth has ulcer, which doc said was wound from her own biting, maybe her gum a bit swollen, due to heatiness.

and true enough, after third day, her fever just gone like that.. and things all back to normal, she requested for her milk again, her mouth ulcer gone too. children really left us adults puzzled sometimes..

so, one more episode of fever since the last one in Jan 10.

Missy and her Painting



Missy started to play her finger paint last weekend, look at how she enjoys it, i let her play with the ready mix colour too. she really have a goof time !

Missy new school

Missy is happy with her new school, she likes her Ouyang Lao shi 9who is just 21 yo) and her teacher Washida (who is getting married Dec) i have a good chat with teacher Washida yesterday while waiting for missy when she is in her Kindermusic class

Some photos taken from outside when i peep at her.. she is having her meal. the one with her eating was taken by her teacher, as the teacher saw me taking, so she said ' i help you" then bring the phone in to snap at missy, missy immediately said ' ei ei, mummy's phone".. haaa.. teacher said " no, this is my phone" .. missy insisted, " No, mummy's phone".. haaa but she did not see me, as teacher bring the phone out to pass to me.



So far, teacher commented that missy is doing great, she is very participative and she is a vey passionate girl, she will hug, and when one of her classmate crying (separation anxiety), she will go forward ad give him a hug ans tell him " Dun cry dun cry, later your mummy come" .. teacher told me candidly, haaa..

School organise music class with Kinder music, ABCmusic and Me from April, missy started her lesson yesterday, it's quite fun, the 9 children all having great fun, the teacher from Kindermusic can really sing. They listen to music/sound and try to identify the items, play with musical instrument, hand actions..

Shall see what they do next week :0)

But, since last Thursday (her first day in new childcare), she refuse to drink her Gain IQ milk. until today she is still not drinking, we all scratch head, she is someone who lovesss her milk and suddenly just said the milk not nice and refuse to drink. so i ask the school what milk they give them during breaksfast (with cereal/ bread0, they said Nespray. so i bought Nespray for her, surprisingly, last night when i made one cup for her, she finish it all. OMG.. what happen ?

Well, LGG and i just let her be, since she likes Nespray, we just let her have Nespray Full Cream milk. No point forcing her drinking her Gain IQ, cos she will even throw up when we keep asking her to drink.

Children's behaviour really hard to understand sometimes..maybe she just out-grow her toddler milk ???

6 weeks going to 7 weeks

Time flies.. bb will be 7 week old this weekend.

ok, his progress. he is pooing lesser now, still loose yellowish stool cos of bfeeding. he is drinking 110 ml to 120ml now. stretching from 2 hour to 3 hours each interval.

He is able to lift his head up when lying on our chest, able to turn his head from left to right when lifting his head. he is able to kick until his body shifted to left to right (or vice versa) position, thus, we decided not to leave him on sofa or bed too near the edge alone..

He is smiling now, big smile, i caught him doing that more and more since two weeks back. am trying to snap of of his photo when he is smiling. He is looking at things and move with them from left to right.

We introduce pacifier to him, but he is not so keen, but sometimes can stop him from looking for teats..

We found that some of his bodysuit and shirt too tight already.. his face also like rounder now.. haa..my cutey baby..

Farewell for Missy

Missy reaches 30 month old 2 weeks back and she can come to the playgroup below our home. SOOSoo convenient.

so on her lst day in her childcare, i take some pictures with her teacher and her friends.. only few left, some either have gone home or did not come to school. there are 16 of them actually..

So the chocolate left quite many, i just let the teacher distribute among themselves.

The Malay teacher is Missy's English teacher and her favourite.. Teacher Diyana. The chinese teacher is Ling Lao shi, she replaces Hou Lao shi after Hou Lao Shi was transferred to K1/K2 below our home.

One more new occassion for missy, as she doesn't seem to understand why i need to give chocolates to her friends and gifts for her teachers.. and take pictures.. well, she doesn't understand now, but at least when she knows next time, i can show her the photos and she maybe able to recall something abt her days in the childcare ;)
