First post 2015

Dearest P

You warmed mummy's heart immensely this morning. Mummy's not feeling well and when I told you so, you cried. And before you went off to daycare, you gave me the biggest hug and told me "be better".

Yes, mummy will be better and be ready to give u a cuddle when you're back later.

This is the third week of 2015 and your first milestone was to do a poo in the toilet yesterday.  Mummy was really proud of you when auntie told me. Well done my love, on the way to be diaper free!

You are such a little chatterbox now. And daddy and mummy just cant stop laughing at some of the things you say.

Mummy's prayer at the beginning of this year is that you will always enjoy every day and bring love and joy to everyone whom you meet. And that God will continue to nurture you in His spirit, that you will be obedient and have a gentle spirit.

We love you. Very. Very. Much.

Testing your boundaries

Dearest P,

It's been a trying few weeks so far. You're well and truly into your terrible twos stage amd testing every boundary that daddy and mummy set. From throwing your tantrums at the pool, to playing with your food, to the sumo wrestling style diaper changing routine, folding your arms and refusing to hold pur hands when we shop, to simply saying no at everything that you are told to do.

But at the end of everyday, I will still remember your tender hugs,  your cheeky smiles and your infectious laughter. And it's so hard to stay angry with you. When we pray at night,  you will always say you were naughty,  and we will always ask God to help you be a good girl. Mummy knows this is just your growing phase.  There were so many times when you obediently left the playground when we told you to. There were so many times when you helped to load the washing machine,  set the dinner table, get the tissue for mummy and filled the toilet rolls in the toilet.  I thank God everytime you chose to be a little helper,  just like we  prayed. 

Daddy and mummy will try our best to help you through this phase without too much pain (for us!!) There will be times we will need to discipline you or let you sit in your naughty corner. 

But remember it doesn't mean we love you any bit less.

Love you..even when you start poking my eyes at 5am and telling me to wake up. :p  

Your soft touch

Dear P,

Mummy haven't been so sick before. For some moments,  I thought I wasn't going to wake up from sleep and will miss you growing up and you smiling at me every day. 

It's been a terrible few days. But mummy's better now. Thank you for praying. Thank you for holding my hand when I was in pain. You just laid beside me in bed on Saturday morning when mummy's headache was at it's worse. Mummy may have scared you because I was in so much pain. But you bravely stayed beside me, quietly watching tv and touching my face.

And everyday for the past few days,  you would ask me if I'm better and "mummy no more sick?" Yes, mummy is much better. Thanks to the love daddy and you gave.

Mummy pray I will be all better soon, and be your go go go mummy again. Busy busy mummy,  but happy happy mummy. 

Love you to the moon and back.. and forever.

I love you!

You did it!

My darling you have become quite a chatterbox in the last few weeks!  It's such a joy to see how you try to tell daddy and mummy what you want or think. You have started to tell your own stories and even wanted to pray on your own before sleepytime.

It's funny how you sometimes parrot daddy or mummy and pronounce things in a different way. Especially your oz -slang Chinese.  Hee..

We just had a short but good weekend with your godma and you are enjoying the "bug" she gave you.  It's amazing how you were frustrated and crying last night because you couldn't get it to work properly.  Buy tonight you got the hang of it and happily zipping up and down the hallway,  and shouting "I did it!" Yes, you did it my darling.. and mummy knows you will have countless more achievements to come.  Big or small we will always be proud of your every achievement. 

Love you! 

Your first pee

My darling you did your first pee on the toilet bowl today!  What a big achievement and you can't imagine how proud daddy and mummy are.

You have been asking to go to the toilet for the past weeks,  but just sitting with no output. But today mummy let you go diaperless, with your new peppa undies and surprise surprise,  you asked to go pee in less than 15 mins.  Daddy brought you to the toilet as mummy was cooking dinner.  And mummy heard daddy's very excited shout that you did your wee. We all did a little dance to celebrate your achievement.

This is just your first step darling. I'm sure there will be accidents. But mummy and daddy will be with you all the way. Daddy will clean up the mess, anyway. Haha. 

You are really growing up so quickly...how exciting to see you in a different phase now.

Your first escape

My dear phe,  mummy should really be more diligent in writing to you. I am only writing this now because I am sick and staying home today,  while you are at Auntie Shareenas. 

You did a little stunt last Thursday..I heard you calling mummy in the middle of the night and when I opened my door,  I nearly walked straight into you. How did you climb out of your cot in darkness and find your way to our room?  Or have you been wandering around the house before you called for me?  Maybe you can tell mummy about your little adventure soon??

You bring so much joy to daddy and mummy everyday my darling. Just last night we stopped at maccas for dinner. You saw the golden arches and made the slurpy sound and said ice cream. Yes,  bad mummy I am.. always feeding you ice cream at maccas.  Lol. 

And your little achievement this morning,  saying "bless you"... the sweetest sound to mummy.  Bless you too my darling and may you always be a blessing to all around you. 

Love you..
