This morning, Aisleyne woke up from her bed, while I were busy setting up the thing for expressing milk. She walked out of the room so I followed her. Then she stopped, looking towards the stair; smile and kept waving her right hands and said "hello....hello....", but there was't anyone there. At that moment, I were more attracted to the words she said, cause didn't know she knows how to say 'hello'. Then the next thing that hit my head, is to carry her away of the place.

Now think about it a bit eery hor.
hope I'm just too sensitive.

ok gotta off to work soon~
I will miss my lil baby....

Attended a wake just now.
I asked Amabel "Just now Daddy and Mommy are not at home, you being a good girl?"
Straight away she replied "Nope! I naughty girl. I shout and made meimei wake up"
Then she added "I disturbed meimei and Ah ma!"

haha...

she's honest, still dare to tell me all these though she knows I will scold her for doing that.

Even her principal praised her for being very helpful.
She offered to help her schoolmate to remove their shoes if they have difficulties removing it and guide the younger one where to put their shoes.

I so proud of her!!

So tired now

shall get my butt moving and load up my girls' birthday bash photos tomorrow.
really lots of photos.

Morning woke up, saw Amabel downstair living room eating colourful jelly.
*Angry*
must be my Dad bought it for her.
if i never stop her, she sure pester my Dad to give her eat more and more
Told him many time not too give them anyhow eat.
cause I don't like her eat those stuff (sweet, chocolate, tibit) too much.
Since school, sometime will give during occasion and birthday, I will not add on and give it at home.
If my girl really want, I will just give only a mouth or very little.
If the content of the biscuit look fine, i will give her slightly more.
or if outside with friends, will just let them eat some, let them be happy.

I don't want them to have sweet tooth.
Don't want them to pester me or cry for those stuff.
which Amabel like to, ever since she got in childcare.

Dad always said (in hokkien),
"the kids want to eat what just let them eat lah. la sub jia, la sub tua. Last time the people all like that eat mah"

And I argued back (in chinese), but those people also die from illness mah, the kids at last time and now is different.

He said this too (not only him actually)
"You should add salt in your kids' food, so it taste nicer."
I will argued: " There is no need for extra salt for flavouring, those vegetable and some baby biscuit, cereal, yogurt and cheese, itself already contains some sodium (salt) which is enough for them especially a baby."
I only start to put two or three drops of soya sauce in certain dish when necessarily to try; when my elder one reach 2 years.
Definitely not every meal, just once awhile.
And my girls so far still eat those food that I prepare for her.
She is not very picky and can eat up a lot.
Only mood will affect her appetite but not the bland taste of the food.

At least I take good care of their health in their childhood, built up their base.
That's why I insisting on breastfeeding as long as I can.
And I feel better doing so, doing my part.
When they grow up, they want to eat what, I won't really care.
Cause I know I can't control them anymore.
And is their responsibility to take good care of their health and body.
At least I do my best part liao.

Saw some chocolate on the table, I asked Amabel who bought it?
She said :"I don't know."
Me: "You go ask 阿公 who bought this."
Amabel: "阿公, who bought this?."
阿公: "你要吃啊? 我开给你."

she knows I won't allow and will scold so she replied

Amabel: "不可以." firmly.

haha~
I didn't know she knows this chinese words "不可以", she never use it before
:)
and I praised her being a good girl.

Clearing my com desktop now.
Saw some old pics taken when I am not a mommy yet.
Post again later when free.

Safety on the road

I have been telling Amabel about safety on the road.
She's very clearly know that to cross the road, have to hold on to the adult and making sure there is no car going to drive pass.

Just now, I brought Amabel and Aisleyne to the 7-11 nearby.
When we crossing the small road,
she said: "Cross the road must wait for mommy, must see the car, hold Mommy's hand. Later the car hit me and I die. Then I cannot see Mommy already."
...... ......

I always teaching her, only to cross the road when the traffic show the green walking man, and before we cross over must make sure the cars on both side STOP.
Sometimes, I will test her the road safety.
She will tell me whether to cross the road or not.

Just 2 days go, when we walking back home from 7-11.
I were walking slightly ahead of her.
And I were focus seeing someone who I find it familiar while we were walking toward the small road,
but I no intention to cross the road yet.
Suddenly Amabel grabbed my hand and shout:"Mommy! got car coming. You cannot cross the road"

Still I feel a bit shame that I kanna lesson by my girl.
haha

aiyo cannot liao.
damn sleepy now.
eyes cannot open liao but I still need to do some office work after Amabel sleep.
sian...

I think I better go pat Amabel to sleep now.

*yawn*

Her conversations

I just hear the conversation between Amabel and her 姑姑 (Helen),爷爷, 奶奶.

First she said
"Mommy.. I want to call Daddy to say good night"
so i helped her to dial to her Dad.
The words she said is so sweet, keep telling her Daddy "I miss you", "I love you" etc.

After the line hanged up.
She told me "I wants to call Helen 姑姑, then talk to 阿莹姑姑, 爷爷, 奶奶."
We used to stay together in Boon Tiong for nearly 5 years before we sold our flat off recently;
so their relationship is very close.
Helen 姑姑 will bath her, feed her, change her diaper, wash her buttock etc
very caring and close to each other.
Most of the time, I find that she is closes to her than to me.
I am not jealous but happy to see how close they are.

Anyway, I dialed to her Helen 姑姑 who is now staying with her 爷爷, 奶奶.
Halfway, thought of video it down, cause the conversation is so sweet and funny.
but my camera no batt.
Argh......

The conversation goes something like this (the most I can remember).
Amabel: "Helen 姑姑, I want to talk to 阿莹姑姑."
Helen 姑姑: "阿莹姑姑 goes to work"
Amabel:"I want to talk to 阿嬷"

then they start chatting a lot

some of the conversation which i remember
阿嬷: "Where is your meimei"
Amabel: "Meimei sleeping already"
.
.
阿嬷: "Where is Daddy?"
Amabel: "Daddy goes working"
阿嬷: "Where is your mommy?"
Amabel: "Mommy is inside the room here."
Amabel:"阿嬷, I miss you!
阿嬷: "I miss you too".
Amabel: "Where is 爷爷?"

then her 阿嬷 call out for 爷爷 to chat with Amabel.

Amabel:"爷爷... how are you?"
爷爷:"I am fine"
.
.
Amabel: "爷爷... you got pain pain?"
爷爷: "No."
then they chat for awhile before the phone was pass back to Helen 姑姑

.
.
Amabel: "Helen 姑姑 I miss you"
Helen 姑姑: "Amabel,... I miss you too."
Amabel: "I love you. You got miss me?"
Helen 姑姑: "Yes"
.
.
then out of the sudden, I surprise she told her this
Amabel:"Just now Mommy beat me, is very painful?"
Helen 姑姑: "Why mommy beat you? You naughty again is it?"
Amabel: "I ang ang (shit) in the sofa and mommy beat me here and here and here, and is very painful. Mommy very angry cause I never said I want ang ang (shit).
.
.
wah... this girl now hor, know how to complain already
x_x

and her tone, words and actions, making me laugh.
haha

earlier on, I kept telling her I want her to sleep early so I can do my office work.
then in the room, she said;
"Mommy, you sit on my bed and you go do your office work okay. I ON the computer for you"
talk like a 小大人

Now she is sleeping soundly on her bed
Aisleyne too
Suddenly, I feel so blessed to have them with me.
especially when Amabel suddenly hug me, kiss me and say "I love you"
am waiting Aisleyne to say "I love you" to me too

that's the words a mother will want to hear the most right.

What else I can ask for right.

*blessed*

Did she say "no...no...no..."?!?!

Labels: Aisleyne, Talking

Hey!
It took me sometime to get awake again.
Dozed off awhile
But my mind keep 'thinking',
"I not yet drain the excess milk after latching Aisleyne man"
So I couldn't sleep in peace.
Then here I drag myself up expessing milk now.

So I got about 30 mins to blog now,
With my iPhone again.
So meaning no colour, no photos.
Boring right?!
Bear with me, lot of photos will be coming up pretty soon.

The just over morning, Amabel got hubby angry,
because she used her plastic toy hammer to hit him.
Hubby scolded her off,
were being ignore for awhile,
knowing that if she never take action,
she will not be love and no one will play with her anymore
She went back to her daddy,
"Dad! Sorry!"
Hubby started fake crying and replied,
"You hit me, very pain! You go away."
Amabel get nervous and said
"Daddy I am sorry!"
He repeated "You go away, I don't want you!"
Amabel started screaming then
"You want me please. I SAID SORRY DADDY"
Buay tahan her.

I discovered that she will always auto
go up to the person who get angry over her
and say sorry to the person;
knowing that the person 不要理她了.
She scared,
So better to apology.
Clever right!

Yesterday, she used the right word,
'Painful'
She uses to say "My leg is pain pain!"
but now she said "My leg is painfu!"
Both me and hubby English weren't that good,
Singaporean uses a lot singlish and improper English.,
so to get my kids to learn proper language,
I planned to send them to language school
like Lorna Whiston when they get into primary or even earlier.
I will try to cultivate them in certain areas like musical, art and language.
Started to read up kiasuparent forum.
Haha can call me kiasu now.

These few days, Amabel always out of the sudden will come up to me
hug me and said,
"Mommy! I sooo love you!"
Hehe so sweet lah.

K I'm done with my pumps.
Got to wash up and faster sleep,
eyes cannot stay open anymore.
End my post now.

Night!

Labels: Educate, Talking

We didn't teach her that!

*Daddy came back from haircut*
Amabel: "Daddy, where you go? You cut your hair!?! Very handsome!"

*saw a ka ka (insect)*
Amabel: "Mommy, I protect you"

*Mommy was drinking water. Amabel took up her water too*
Amabel: "Mommy, TOAST!"

"Amabel was riding her tutu car"
Amabel: "Are you ready?" Get set, Go!"

She always said this to us. Act like a 小大人。
Amabel: "You cannot play on a wet floor, you can slip and fall. "

I were so angry with aisleyne for being itchy hands, touch this and that.
I angrily told her "You don't listen to mommy, I don't want you!"
Amabel:"Aisleyne, mommy don't want you, I WANT YOU"

Haha!

Ok a lot more, but cannot remember now.

Got to prepare for work now.
Have a good day!

I’m kanna sick of the world

The way human behave,
the way human talk,
the way human think

Someone said something sarcastic that day…
"小孩子， 喜欢给别人抱来抱去 比较好。
不要像 Amabel这样笨笨的。
这样是笨， 不是什么。
你看她真的是笨。”

argh!
Should I say the person bias or talk never use thru brain?
Anyway this is not the first time
I’m sad that these words came out from that person.
Not because, I respect the person and the funeral and then remembering the lesson taught by grandma-in-law (做人要有修养，本性要好), I will turn my face.
Just because she always don’t like to let people carry then you judged her as stupid??!!?
Like that that person can really offend a lot of parents out there.
WTF!

Anyway Amabel cheer up my day by saying something silly yet funny
Hahaha! I couldn’t stop laughing whenever I think of it.

I were squeezing a pimple on hus’s arm, and the blood stained the tissue paper.
As Amabel always surprise me by saying words that we never taught or say to her.
I hoping she will surprise me again by saying, “BLOOD”

So I decided to ask her
Me: "Amabel! What is this?" (pointing at the blood stains)
Amabel: "Oh….. CHILLI!"

We burst out laughing immediately.

There is once after she's done with the big business on her diaper.
She went up to her Dad
Amabel: "Daddy!"
Daddy: Yes!
Amabel: "I made cake for you!" (Show her butt to her Dad)

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Back from supper after the praying event, reach home faster breastfeed Aisleyne.
Supposed to pump milk to empty the breast after breastfeeding but too tired and fell asleep.
Woke up @ 2am after a hour of sleep, then faster re-sterilise my pumps. While waiting for the sterilising process, I fell alseep again for another hour.
Imagine how tired I am, insufficient sleep even in weekend.
I shouldn't be complaining since I insisted to breastfeed my girl.
And this gonna continue as far as I can persist, hopefully more than 2 years (my set target)
.
.
.

Am now expressing milk and surfing net
Just saw a comment from reader about the possibility of Amabel having ADHD.
This made me search for more infomations on ADD/ADHD

After getting informations from afew sources
I don't think Amabel is suffering from ADD/ADHD
But I will not rule this out until a psychologist evaluation.

These are the the symptoms of ADHD
Children who have symptoms of inattention may:

• Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another

eg. If your child headed towards his room intending to put the toys away, but quickly got caught up on the way in playing with a real neat toy, his/her "non-compliance" is not necessarily intentional and may represent the distractibility and difficulty completing tasks that is characteristic of ADHD. If, however, your child argued about having to pick up the toys, and basically refused to do it, the non-compliance is deliberate and willful, and is no longer attributable to ADHD per se.

Amabel will argue back and refuse to do it. From what I observed, she is more to deliberately and willful rather than distractibility and having difficulty completing tasks.

• Have difficulty focusing on one thing

Amabel doesn't have this problem. When she is doing matching game, she can focus very well and do it very well.

• Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless they are doing something enjoyable.

Which children won't get bored when doing things which don't interest them!? Even for adult too.

• Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new

Amabel learns new thing pretty well without any assisting.

• Have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities

So far never receive such feedback from her teacher. The file that she bring back monthly; she completed all her school assignments except those that is empty with the red remark "Absent"

• Not seem to listen when spoken to

I know that she is listening, just that she refusing to listen. my comment: playful, headstrong especially when she think she is not in wrong, she will close her ears.

• Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly

I don't think she got such problem. She only move slowly (throwing tantrum actually) when me and hubby walking beyond her, leaving her behind. And also early in the morning, being waken up by me to school, still in sleepy mode

• Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others

She definitely don't have such problem

• Struggle to follow instructions.

Can follow instructions very well unless she is not in the mood to.


Children who have symptoms of hyperactivity may:

• Fidget and squirm in their seats

Nope, she don't do that unless she is throwing tantrum

• Talk nonstop

She likes to talk, this is the age where they still learning to talk right, so they will tend to talk alot.

• Dash around, touching or playing with anything and everything in sight

I should said she is curious. Which children at such age not curious with the things around them right

• Have trouble sitting still during dinner, school, and story time

Only if she no longer feel like eating her meal. As for in school, so far no bad feedback from teacher. Story time at home, she will enjoy me reading it to her for the first few pages then snatch it away from me and wanna read it her own.

• Be constantly in motion

Nope. She jumps, hop, skip etc. She is active and just want to play

• Have difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities.

She loves drawing, colouring and reading. Playing toys too. Can at least hold her there for at least 15mins, is this consider quiet task??

Children who have symptoms of impulsivity may:

• Be very impatient

Yes. But not alway; she is more to excited, eager to get it so can't wait.

• Blurt out inappropriate comments, show their emotions without restraint, and act without regard for consequences

Yes. especially when she is in anger, she will self torture. That is what we need help with from psychologist, anger management is the big problem she needs help with

• Have difficulty waiting for things they want or waiting their turns in games

Yes. but sometimes if we explain to her, or talk nicely to her the need to wait, she will listen, though not often. Think most children is like that right

• Often interrupt conversations or others' activities..

Think children at her age still don't know when they shouldn't interrupt other people action or speech

I took these photos just now during the praying event.

The most fierceful person in her life; "二姨婆"
Frightened till don't even dare to move and get out of the chair.
She asked her to do what, she don't dare to oppose the instructions at all.

二姨婆 is brainwashing her. Explaning to her why she shouldn't beat or kick others and screaming.



hence her such behaviour needs punishment. Stand on a chair, finger on the lip.


Amazingly, 二姨婆 can alway keep her still and well behave whenever she is around.
She behave so well and sit still there for at least 30mins till I find her pitiful and save her. haha!

We very bad. Keep laughing secretly at her reaction and expression. wahaha

The just over morning, she heard a band out at the house window, she thought is lion dance (her favourite). She keeps wanting to see.

Amabel: Mommy! Oh lang shai (Lion dance). I want to see.

Mommy: Not the lang shai Lion dance lah. Is for people died one.

Amabel: I want to see people died

Mommy: People died. The funeral cannot see one.

Amabel then walked away. After awhile, she came to the kitchen hugging with a mickey mouse balloon.

Amabel: Mommy! Mickey mouse want to see lang shai (Lion dance)outside, can or not?

Faint!

Mommy: Come! Mommy shower for you.
Amabel: No! I don't want shower.
Mommy: Faster... Mommy shower for you k
Amabel: Nooo... I want 姑姑 to shower for me. Mommy see me shower.

Haha...

Oh yah... now she develops a sense of direction. She knows which way is to go where.
Whenever hubby drive along the Tiong Bahru Road.
She will said "Oh go home lo..."

Whenever I bring her walk along the Bukit Ho Swee Road, the way to Tiong Bahru Plaza
She will said:"Go Tiong Bahru Plaza"
if drive the way to her grandparent's house
She will said "Go Ah ma house lo"

There is once she kept pestering us in the car to bring her to grandparent's house to play with her cousin when we about to drive pass. No choice to entertain her so she won't scream. Hubby entertained her by saying "OK". When he drove the other way, she started to scream and cry, saying "I want to go ah ma's house."

She kept repeating that and crying and screaming real loud.

Buay tahan!

Amabel has been talking so much. She always surprise us with the things she said. Haha she never fail to make us laugh with those words. At time, really make us angry too.

SHE! Our Mischevious Girl

8 Aug 08 scan (38 weeks 1days gestation age)

I could feel that the little one is getting very low now, alot of her movement can be feel around the pelvic area and bone.
Baby weight is measured 3.058kg now, Dr Khi said that if baby deliver now, will be within the weight range 2.6kg - 3.4kg.
Everything is fine, other than baby engaged and dilated, there is no other sign of going to labor yet. She said still can wait, until baby is ready to come out.
Dr Khi never do a VE for me this time, no need to, just need to wait for the sign. But does a CTG to monitor the baby heartbeat and also the contraction.
She jokes and ask whether I want a 08.08.2008 or 09.08.2008 baby, I laughed and replied, let the little one decide ba, perhaps she want to be same birthday as her sister 0r another nicer date 20.08.2008.

Glad that result of bacteria has once again confirm cleared.

Left 8 more days, so does the little one prefer 20.08.2008 or 21.08.2008. Let wait and see. he!





















Here my little rascal.

Pic-> Act gangster

She loves to pout and act cute faces, with her words, the way she talk, making us loves her even more. She is very good at expressing herself now, alot of very funny actions and expression. Though she is very naughty but how not to love her even more each day.

and started to explore things around her.
