Stubborn ?

Jesse picked up a donkey flash card and thought it was a horse.
J : Horse
M : No its a donkey
J : No, horse
M : Donkey
J : No... horse
M : Donkey
J : Horse

She took a squirrel flashcard and said
J : Cat
M : Its not a cat, its a squirrel
J : Cat... meow meow
M : Its squirrel
J : Meow
M : Squirrel
J : Cat...meow
M : Squirrel
J : Cat
M : Squirrel
J : Cat

Later at night, she took the rat card and said
J : Mouse
M : Its a rat
J : No... mouse
M : Rat
J : Mouse
M : Rat
J : Mouse

Jesse loves to play with flashcards. Although some of the picture in the flashcards is not easily differentiated, she doesn't accept what we have corrected her. Isn't she stubborn? I hope when she grows up she will not answer back or argue with us.

Reasons or Excuses

Samuel sure has alot of excuses when we confronted him. And his excuses will sure us laugh.

Scene 1 : Throwing things
M : Samuel don't throw
S : I didn't throw. It just drop by itself

Scene 2 : Jumping on the bed
D : Samuel stop jumping
S : I'm not jumping. I jogging only.

Scene 3 : Samuel farted
M : Samuel, you "pot pot" ( means farted )
S : No, its not me, My butt butt only. o_O

Scene 4 : Samuel chasing Jesse
D : Samuel no running.
S : I didn't run. I chasing only.

Scene 5 : Bouncing on the bouncing ball
D : Stop jumping
S : I didn't jump. I bounce only.

New Years Eve Dinner

We went to Charcoal for dinner on New Years Eve. The place was nicely decorated with helium balloons. They even gave away party packs too.

As usual, daddy ordered his favourite lamb shank. But this time, it was disspointing. The lamb shank was tough instead of tender. Mummy's honey ribs tasted alot more tender.

We had a good and quiet dinner because Jesse was co-operative. Daddy brought his PSP along for Jesse to watch her Barney.

Mummy's Girl

Since Jesse calls mummy, she has been calling mummy non stop. Nope, Im not complaining, infact I'm still enjoying it. Everytime she calls mummy, her voice is very sweet and the way she calls mummy is really "manja".

When we go shopping and she is sitting at the shopping trolley, she can call me non stop even when I am just beside her. Even if she is not with me, I can locate her easily because she calls mummy very loud non stop. And yes, it sure attract alot of people staring at her :p But usually I will be the one pushing her in the trolley because she will not allow anyone else to push the trolley, not even if its daddy.

She is definitely mummy's girl now. Not sure if she will still be so attached to mummy next time.

Happy New Year 2009

May this New Year 2009 be filled with Joy and Blessings!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Samuel's Second Cinema Movie

Samuel's 1st Cinema Movie was High School Musical 3. Last Monday, daddy and mummy brought Samuel to the Empire Cinema again. This time, we brought him to watch the movie "Bolt" a Walt Disney animated movie.

Samuel & The Bolt Poster

When we reached the Empire Cinema, we were surprised to see our friends there too, Uncle Tze Horng, Aunty Wei Ting, Zach & Luke.

Potty Train

We started potty training Jesse about 2 weeks ago. This time, our method was totally different from Samuel. With Samuel, we bring him to pee every 15 minutes. We started off with 30m but sometimes before 30m he already peed in his pants. Even if he doesn't need to pee he will still pee (a little). We potty train him when he was 18 months and after about 2 weeks, he is diaperless during the day.

I wanted to start potty training Jesse at an earlier age but she wouldn't want to sit on the toilet or potty. So, we did not really train her until recently. We did not let her wear diaper during the day and will not bring her to toilet to pee until she informs us. We kept reminding her that if she needed to pee she has to tell us. The first few days she peed everywhere. It was pretty messy.

We let it be, but after the 3-4th day she started to give us the signal by saying "yeee" but by the time we bring her to toilet it was already too late. A couple of days later, she knows how to hold her bladder. She now lets us know by telling us "shi shi" and we will bring her to toilet.

During the day, except when she takes her nap, she is diaperless. We never expect her to be trained so easily. We have successfully trained her to inform us before she pee.

Our next mission : Diaperless during Nap time. Hmm... I do not know how to do this. We did not train Samuel during nap or sleeping time. He will wake up automatically and tell us that he needs to pee.

Can anyone give me any good ideas besides waking the child from their nap?

Shout To The Lord !

......... Samuel's favourite song. Everytime when he sits in mummy's car, he will request for us to play the song. He can request for the song again and again and again and again. Even when the song is not 100% completed, he will ask us to play it again. He can even sing better than mummy :p

Boo Boos and the Cupcakes

I ordered these mini christmas cupcakes about two week ago, to be collected on Christmas Eve. I only remembered about these cupcakes a couple of days before Christmas. But I don't remember the name or the phone number of that person whom I ordered from. (1st Boo boo...)

I got to know these cupcakes from the internet and on the very same moment I contacted the person to order these cakes. I can't recall the website either. The only thing that I remembered was she asked me to go to D'Anggerek Tailor to collect the cakes. I did not ask for the exact address as I thought that I will be contacting her again before I collect the cake.

I don't have any idea where is the tailor shop and all the while I thought it is around the housing area. On Christmas Eve afternoon, I went there and I was prepared to waste my time searching the right location. But God was and is with me! Once I reached the area, I saw a tailor shop signboard and I headed straight to the shop. Even before I step into the shop, I saw many cake boxes there. Thats the right shop.

After they got my order, I wrote down the contact person and was told by the worker there that their boss (who is the baker) stays in Jerudong, which is just 5 minutes away from our home. (2nd Boo boo...)

The cupcakes are not so presentable and too sweet for me but Samuel loves them and ate most of them.

Our Boxing Time
