Nowadays, when she feels sleepy at night around 11pm, she'd say, "Mommy, lets go to bed. Zhi Ying is tired" and walks up the stairs slowly. Then I'll read 1 or more stories before she turns around and goes to sleep, depending what she wants & how tired she is. Sometimes she sleeps in her baby cot, sometimes on our big bed. Before story time, she usually drinks 7Oz of milk. After that, I'll brush her teeth before she goes to sleep or before reading to her. She still wears diaper at night as I'm too tired to get up to take her to the toilet. Every morning when she wakes up, she smiles and looks really cheerful. I really love her so much. Sometimes, she plays in the babycot, button & unbuttoning my shirt which I put aside in her baby cot for her to play with. Sometimes, she asks me to go downstairs with her after she wakes up. Before going to school, she drinks 7Oz of milk. Then, granny would send her & Mag to school around 8:30am. They look very cute in their pink uniform. They have been eating noodles 2 meals a day with veges, mostly ladies fingers as Zhi Ying is bored with rice & broccoli. I bought organic spinach noodles for them and Organic black sauce to mix with the noodles. Zhi Ying loves the noodles & ladies fingers. But since yesterday, I've asked the maid to cook rice for her & Mag for dinner and asked the maid to cook the veges like adults veges. Surprisingly, they could accept rice after this long break.
Nowadays, she gets along very well with Mag. Both of them play like crazy together sometimes. Their conversation is very funny most of the time. We're always very entertained listening to them talk and play with each other.
She can read a little now. I should say memorise infact. She loves Bobo Bear's Birthday, I (Benjamin Bunny) had an accident, My sandwich, The Happy Elephant, Look Out Little Chicks, Little Red Riding Hood, 3 Little Pigs & Goldilocks. Most of the time, she reads Bobo Bear's Birthday.
Every night after she finish drinking her milk, i'll brush her teeth. I must say, she has improved alot and she's very obedient. She lets me brush her teeth and would spit out the water when told. Only at times when she's extremely tired, she'd accidentally swallow the water.
In the middle of the night, if she's sleeping in the baby cot and if she feels hot, she'll climb up to my bed. Or if she's sleeping on our bed and she feels cold, she'd crawl into her baby cot next to our big bed and curl up in one corner. She didn't like blanket so she would find a spot where she wouldn't get much of the cold air.
Yesterday daddy was impressed by her ability to put back 5-pc puzzle which she found at Sue Yins condo. It was first time she showed interest in puzzle and she managed to put 80% back by herself, some 100% by herself. There were about 8 different sets of animals puzzles in the box. She seems to like those puzzle very much.
Last month, I've forgotten to update this blog. Just want to put it here that Zhi Ying can sing very well the good-bye song from The Sound of Music. She'd rest her head on the back of her palm, at the stair case, and wait for me to carry her upstairs while she's singing the song slowly and with feelings. SO DRAMATIC AND CUTE!
hAHAhaha. My lovely little 2.5 yo girl really melts my heart. She's turning into a wonderful child i.e. more obedient, as long as an order comes with an explanation. Hehe!
This happened last 2 mths i think..where she mentioned to me before that if we didn't buckle our seat belts, the police man would catch mommy, throw mommy away and bang bang. I don't know where she gets the throw and bang idea from. Then another time we're in the toilet, she wanted to pee, she was on the toilet seat and try to shake here and there, then she stopped and told me "cannot like that, later zhi ying will drop into the toilet bowl, then flush away, then no more zhi ying, how?"
Hahahaha!
Sometimes, when she sees granny going out, she'd ask if granny's going out and with who. There was 1 time she tried to lecture Hwa ah yi. Hwa ah yi was teasing her by looking at her through the toilet roll. Zhi Ying went "Ah Yi, don't do like that. It's not funny" with her finger gesturing no no. We didn't expect that she'd say that to Hwa ah yi. It's like mimicking me. That's how i talk to her when i lecture her.
There was 1 time when she made Mag cry and she blame it on Yani. :S so naughty.
She can do funny face, close one eye and do the "the the the the.." sound very fast. She's so funny.
She will put back her toys when we told her to do so. She's becoming an angel day by day. Thank God...
