Fun on the swing-Royce Gym

Ist Day at Growing up gifted

Ranielle's 1st day at GUG,better than expect.She didn't tear the place down so i'm relief wheww..She didn't really sit on the mat much only when the teachers was teaching zoophonics.She loved it!Most of the time she was walking around but she would stop and listen when something catches her attention.We did a simple art and craft piece together.There was also music class with the teacher playing the keyboard.That she really liked too.Looking for our next lesson on monday.Hope it gets better:)

These boots are made for walking

My Cousin,Joy got this rain boots from states for Ranielle and she simply loves it.It's her fave!She loves to walk in them although i really don't know how she does it.It's really quite heavy.Oh well,as long as she loves it and doesn't fall.Let her enjoy!

Lion dance on the 6th day of CNY 31st jan 09

This year is slightly Different from last year as the Lions are brand new sponsered by Derek.1 for himself and 1 for me and Ranielle.We had to 'kai guang' something like awake the lions using a paintbrush dabbed in red paint starting with the eyes and the rest of the body followed by the Lion dance.Very interesting and somewhat fun and of course very loud as they were banging on the drums and clashing the cymbals in the house.Ranielle was bored though and fell asleep.Purpose of the lion dance..hmm,for good luck and health and for Derek to show gratitude to the buddha.
Well in the end,We all enjoyed ourselves and that's important too.

No more dummy required!

We have finally made Ranielle pacifier free.I thought of getting rid of it only when she's 2 but after discussing with Derek,we both agree that we should stop the habit now than later since now she can't really articulate herself with words.I can't imagine what's it going to be like if she could.Most probably will be alot of screaming ..Mummy i want my pacifier!!!!think i will definitely go deaf.So on Saturday night,we took it away.She was going crazy,crying,pointing to the door and i swear her no shadow kick is better than Wong Fei Hong's.Yup,you guys can laugh but it's really not that funny when you are her target.Anyways,it took us 5 nights.1st 3 nights was all screams and Yes the no shadow kicks.4Th night was ok,she cried for 15 mins and it was over.5Th night was great,no more crying or kicks.Just a really big smile at 12am,that lasted till 3am.Fun for her,not fun for us.But it's done,We have done ourselves proud:) Good job to me and derek!

So so tired!

Brought Ranielle to my fave scrap shop today.didn't bring stroller,as she won't sit for long anyway so our little friend had to walk half the journey to the Mrt station.got there,walked around.Picked up some stuff while she was busy exploring the little trinkets and etc..in the shop.Luckily,Pauline the owner is ok with her exploring.So after her milk, she took a short nap and finally i decided to stop buying more we left and i went to 'dabao' from soup spoon.While there she woke up,so we walk down to the mrt station.she walked all the way only escalators i will carry her.Pleasant ride back as i was feeding her biscuits but when we reach our station she was like the overexcited toddler who has never been on the mrt.Went to touch the train door and jumped up when the door opened.Walking home was really tiring and it was so hot!and she kept on stopping due to distractions.Like the little ant that walked past her,she'll stop to point at it.trying to get a sip of my drink and trying to take my items out of the plastic bag.but i guess she was also really tired as she walked till she just sat down on the ground.when we reached home,both of us were so hot and tired and very hungry!haha..but it was an experience for us both definitely will do it again though :)

No,i scared!!!

Today,i put Ranielle in panties and she was playing everywhere in the house when suddenly she made a sound when she always wants to poo so i brought her to the toilet bowl and she kept saying no no no.then my mum in law came to help,brought sweetie to sit at the bowl,she struggled and they both fell backwards.Luckily,both of them was fine and Ranielle ran out of the toilet butt naked!!!!!!Arghhhh,so i went to get her,tried to put her on her potty.Both me and my mum in law was luring her with this snowman and dog that she likes,but she still wouldn't sit on it.She would just keep saying no no no and run off but we would just keep trying.Then suddenly she said,No i scared!!!We laughed our heads off.Instead of learning how to go potty,our sweetie learned how to say NO I SCARED!! instead.Simply Adorable :)
