Sunday cafe and shopping

8th Jan2012, Sunday.

afternoon we head out for tea at starbucks. thou i cannot take the noise and the space constraint cos we pushed in our pram into the small cafe at PS... we had to stand around to wait for our seats cos we were there to use up the vouchers bro gave gx and i for xmas! i hadnt eaten much cos i knew sweets and sandwiches were my choice... so we waited and a nice waitress got us our seats asking 2 men if they were done... see my cheeky baby R... she gets the thrills drinking water thats from her water bottle but served to her with ice in a starbucks glass makes her really happy! baby R chose the creme brulee in chocolate tart shell... she told gx she chose an egg tart! this was nice with many different flavours with all thee different elements!

my gal took over the camera and say she will take the shot for the apple cheesecake!

baby R didnt mind the noise... 

she loves the green straw and take bites of the dessert off the fork when gx feeds her!

baby A was napping but woke up half way... its prob too noisy for her!

potty chat

7th Jan2012, Saturday

this was taken in the toilet!

recorded what gx was told by her little gal on FB

think my gal sure wants her violin! GX told me baby R shared with daddy while on the potty - Mummy will play the white piano and i play the silver violin. We play music for daddy... little gal's got vision and sure knows how to convince daddy to get the violin she wanted cos daddy's heart melted when she propose to play him a song!

my funny gal requested for her daddy and i was like quick get it done but she insisted so i called gx in... i walked away cos baby R told me to... so when i sneaked upon them, i took a shot of them chatting... only after the session then gx told me... our gal has this VISION!  sneaky one but sweet little determined gal, wanting to get a violin in her hands!

baby R's HUGE carebear

7th Jan2012, Saturday

after shichida, Gx came to meet us once he was done with his banking and for the longest time, baby R finally had a chance to be centre of attention cos baby A stayed home with gugu, soundly sleeping on gugu's bed... we brought baby R to claim her "prize' cos she had earned enough stickers for being good and helpful. 

gx say no more soft toy but seeing how much baby R loves playing with Uncle W's grumpy carebear, gx motivated baby R to be good, telling her he will buy her one... when we saw the carebears, at our eye level were the smallest to small sized carebears... and while we were looking at what bears are available... suddenly we hear baby R say... i WANT this!

when we looked down at her she has grabbed the biggest of them all.... gx and i were shocked! esp GX! he immediately show babyR the mid sized carebear saying its same size as uncle W's ... NO, daddy. I want this! i asked gx how much is the one he is holding on... $18.90. 

hearing that i asked gx to check the one baby R is holding on... then gx looked up at me and smiled... i was sure its way more... gx say its $1 more! i took it over and saw original price $59.90 but its on offer! lucky baby R took it out! for another $1 she got a carebear almost 10times bigger! baby R was of cos happy she got her HUGE carebear prize!

before we paid up, i was looking at the pink one and told gx should we get one for our baby A... gx say NO... when we got home, asking baby R if she is happy with her reward... she told us... i want to earn one for meimei... i was so touched by her little thoughts! she sure worked hard in getting her stickers but sadly when we finally made it to the shop... it was all sold out! ... baby R was so disappointed... 

...to be continued in following post!

Cat in the HAT

7th Jan2012, Saturday

OOohhhh i love this series of cat in hat adventure! when i saw these i popped them into my basket and so glad gx was around! he doesnt question me much once i tell him these are really good for our gals! its fun to watch the wacky Cat in the Hat exploring and explaining non-friction! 

sponging in school

baby R's piece of art work - sponging!

i love that she get to mess about in school! its good for her cos she loves crafts...

wish i can do more with her... 

pooh came for snack

6th Jan2012, Friday.

we had lots to eat for snack and baby R decided to invite pooh for tea!

baby R then joined baby A in the playarea... squeezing herself, making herself comfortable... 

30months old vs 3 months old

6th Jan2012, Friday.

my mum complain why i didnt send her any photos of her own grandaughter in school uniform... mum had received from aunt K who collected all the photos of my 3 cousins who started primary school and mum received all photos via her iphone... sadly i told my mum... I DUN HAVE IPHONE and i took pics of my gal with a camera! so Friday morning, while waiting for the door of the school to open, i asked my gal to stand against the wall to take a pic so i can send to popo... and this is how she posed! 

 my little gal had her jab and fever set in. 

but baby A always has this look captured, hard to catch her smiling at the camera!

in comparison of my 2 gals... one seems so outgoing while the other looked alittle reserved!

2nd day of school

5th Jan2012, Thursday.

2nd day of school... baby R dashed into class! she was more comfortable with the morning routine check compared to the 1st day! days before school started, i went through with baby R what school day is like, the rules and telling her to listen to authority, it helped but the only thing she is afraid is when her temperature is being taken cos she still fears doctors... but she got better as days went by. the lady holding baby R's hands has the same name as her! Tcher R is there to help the class pull over the crying days!

my gal's first school masterpiece of art work! 

didnt stay outside the class as i know my gal will be fine... she sure was and i am so happy when she showed me her works and share with me as much as she could tell me about class!

she could tell me who is still crying in class! my little KPO!

V for visiting and violin

after i brought baby R home, we fed her and drove mil down to work and head to sis' hm. the initial plan was to fetch baby R from school and drive mil down and show popo baby R in her school uniform... little nephew L is happy to see us! he was excited to have someone to play with him! 

it was a nice afternoon meetup... 

after leaving, we head to thomson to do alittle research on ballet and music classes. 

at yamaha, baby R was so excited when she saw the glass cabinet displaying all kinds of violins, violas and she told daddy to get one for her the tiny one! glad i posted on FB cos then i can remember the special moments... on the 10th Jan, baby tried to convince daddy 

think my gal sure wants her violin! GX told me baby R shared with daddy while on the potty - Mummy will play the white piano and i play the silver violin. We play music for daddy... little gal's got vision and sure knows how to convince daddy to get the violin she wanted cos daddy's heart melted when she propose to play him a song!

starting school!

4th Jan2012, Wednesday.

big day! i woke up early and pack baby R some rabbit pretzels and raisin for her snack box!

my gal's first school snack!

wanted to give her something i am sure she would eat 1st before giving her other stuff for snack.

little baby A woke up early too to cheer for jiejie too!

i had hard time sleeping worrying for baby R but 

clearly from the pic baby R is so excited to go school!

gx took leave to send our little darling to school!

baby R asked why the door haven open while other kids were all sticking close to their parents!

my gal was the first to dash into class! she left me at the door! after taking her temperature she followed the chinese teacher to the loo to wash her hands and she ran to the toys immediately, making herself comfortable and playing with the toys without looking for us! others were lead to the table while mine moved from one table to the other to try out all the toys!

Mil was left at home with baby A... cos i don't know how baby R would react if she came along... fil was suppose to go to work but he decided to come along to see his little grandchild first day in class. i was busy snapping away and my gal looked so BIG suddenly... she has grown so much from the day i first cuddle her... it the first time she was left alone with "strangers" and it seems like i worry more than her! baby R is so calm and happy.

i miss decorating class boards! it used to be my creative platform!

my gal isnt afraid of the teacher and she managed to answer teacher when she was asked a question. She was so independent and slowly parents left the room and we could hear cries but i was sure baby R isnt the one... most parents left and prob cos they stay really near... gx drove fil to work and i stayed back outside the class to kind of monitor baby R... i was afraid she is too rowdy or won't listen to teacher if she is asked to stop running about class... my kind of worry is prob different from the other parents! when i opened the door to peep, the chinese teacher had assembled the slide to distract the crying kids and i saw my gal dashing towards it and she was told a couple of times to be in line! 

lucky i stayed back and spoke to a lady and her mummy cos i tot it was official 2hours class but it was actually an hour orientation! i would have been an hour late if i wasnt told when i was about to go back to check on baby A! baby R still alittle shy about taking a photo with her 1st school teacher! asked if she liked school baby R NOddED without a doubt!
