<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since the past few years mommy hasn't put much effort to do a nice birthday party for the girls (1st year busy with work/business, 2nd year just delivered, 3rd year bad morning sickness), thus this year mummy decided to set aside 2 weeks to prepare a nice birthday bash for her 2 princesses. This will be also be the last big birthday bash for them until they are much older.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esrene wanted a princess party. She even choose her cake design!! (Kids nowsaday are blessed and spoilt). Mommy came across a very nice princess party idea online while searching for idea, so decided to use the same concept for their princesses party.</span></div>
<div>

<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: small;">Birthday invitation card with map of the party printed. The girls were so excited to see their invitation card and helped to seal in the envelope for their friends.</span></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few activities have been prepared for the kids in the party according to the map from the invitation card. There's butterflies forest upon the entrance, then the knights training ground with "made your own shield" corner before the "princesses and knights" come to the princess castle under the rainbow :D</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inside the castle there are activities for them to colour the princesses/knight and make the crown too!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to Uncle Tim & Auntie Audrey for the boxes from their cargo, mommy managed to made use of them to make a pink colour with the left over paint for the party.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esrene wanted a castle cake and decided that her "mei mei" should have the princess doll cake. Mummy thought it will be weird to only have one dolly cake for 2 princesses' party so at the end 2 mini dolly cakes was made besides the castle cake! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All things princess - princess cookies, princess cupcakes, princess dolly cake, princess cupcakes etc....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Labour of love by mummy and daddy did the fairy bread :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
The girls had a blast on that day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Esrene couldn't wait to open the presents right after the guests left.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As usual they were very excited to receive the gifts but it last for few days before they started to throw the toys away or ignore them. Well kids!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Mummy daddy hoped that you girls enjoy the party which mummy spent time on. May God continue to shine upon you everyday and His hands are on both of you in everything you endeavor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Love mummy, daddy </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
p.s. Grandpa, grandmas, aunties and uncles please don't buy anymore toys, books and puzzles for them. They have more than enough and started to destroy the toys, throw them everywhere, not knowing how to appreciate anymore. Please help them to grow to appreciate and be content with just a little.</span></div>

Well, when mummy thought she was already very overwhelm with 2 kids and happy with just 2, God decided to bless them with the 3rd one…me!! So it was a big surprise to them to expect me as well, so they decided to keep it as a surprise to the friends around too<img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-n1W2vyb7alw/UKOhT2sg7YI/AAAAAAAANc4/Slx1m4g2HyA/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /></font></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="3">My first name Anndelle is from the combination of two names – Annis and Fredelle, which means gentle and holy. My middle name is Ern-lin <strong>恩琳</strong>. When daddy was praying for my name, John 1:16 keep popping out of his head -  “Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given”.

Sometimes I think it is much easy if I can just baby sit my kids instead of parenting them. Watching over them to make sure they are safe, well feed and grow is easy but for us parents it’s more than that God entrusts us to do for our children.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">Esrene is into her tantrum throwing stage now – the miserable 3! She wants her way, wants her say. A “no” from us most of the time will make her have her melt down moment. It’s quite challenging and tiring for us to deal with her.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">Lately we were introduced by a close friend to the parenting video and book by Danny Silk called “Loving your kids on purpose”. It is a totally different approach from what we always hear, know or learn all these while. It is rather an interesting concept based on the relationship with the kids and the free choice rather than controlling. So we thought it’s not bad to try on the approach.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">One day while Esrene was playing with our friend’s daughter in our house and having cheese as snack, she had her melt down moment again just because she accidently tear off the piece of cheese she was about to eat. She said it is torn, refused to eat that and want a new one! We told her it is ok to eat the torn cheese and it will still taste as yummy as the complete piece but no she started to throw her tantrum, crying and screaming her head off. After a few attempts to talk to her, daddy was frustrated and brought her into her room for time out. Yet she didn’t give up, screamed and cried in her room. So I decided to try on Danny Silk’s approach. I walked into her room, trying to remain calm and put up a smile at the same time. Then I squad down and told her “Hey darling, crying and whining is no fun at all. Everyone is having fun outside. When you think you are fun enough to play outside, you can come out and join us. If not it is ok for Esrene to stay in the room”. After I gave her a pet at her head, I walked out. Less than 1 minute, she stopped all her crying and whining, walked out getting ready to play again. I reminded me “Hey Esrene, remember, be fun ok?”. She nodded. Phew!! What a relieve!!! Finally I manage to make my melt down girl to stop her tantrum throwing without much effort and anger involved! But I thought I could have tried the approached when she started to fuss about her cheese…anyway it’s a good start. </font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_1907" border="0" alt="IMG_1907" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-n2iBvmNo0L4/UIUiV4YwRMI/AAAAAAAANcA/voKGl3pthIA/IMG_1907%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="320" height="427" /></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="3">My 2nd attempt on the approach:</font></p> <p><font size="3">One night, Esrene was playing up refused to brush her teeth before going to bed. I approached her with the smile and ask her calmly “Esrene, do you know what will happen if we do not brush our teeth?”. She looked at me with a puzzled look. I continued “Without brushing, our teeth will drop off one by one, and at the end we have no more teeth to eat anything. We can’t eat lollies, can’t eat chippy, can’t eat cakes, nothing we can eat except drinking milk like a baby!”. Then I walked off to do my thing.</font></p> <p><font size="3">After 5-10min, I walked back to Esrene and asked calmly “So Esrene, have you decide whether you want your teeth or no teeth?”.</font></p> <p><font size="3">She shouted “I want my teeth!!!”. </font></p> <p><font size="3">Then I asked “What do y</font><font size="3">ou think you should do if you want to keep your teeth?”. </font></p> <p><font size="3">This time she said excitedly “Esrene wana go brush teeth now mummy!!” and off to the bathroom she went to get the toothbrush for me to help her brushing her teeth.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">I have to admit, that’s the most joyful moment in my whole parenting all these while!!!! I managed to not only guide my tantrum throwing daughter to make a correct choice herself happily without having to raise my voice, cause any crying or tears from her side, but I also manage to teach her a short lesson of the reason we want to brush teeth <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-B_s87jVZ23Y/UIUiXwFGUVI/AAAAAAAANcI/1Fhw81Q7A5E/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /> It’s a sense of victory to me! Suddenly I see the fun of parenting!!!! I am glad I am able to start applying what I’ve learned and praying that God will give me more creative ideas to parenting my child in a peaceful way without having to lose my temper and raise my voice.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">XO,</font></p> <p><font size="3">Mummy Siu</font></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443270264898824306.post-62851139422252212162012-10-12T07:53:00.001-07:002012-10-12T07:53:56.289-07:00The growing girls<p><font size="3">Hi everyone, we have been keeping mummy really busy that there’s not much time leave for her to update the blog.

The consequences is we have to a dear price for the only available hotel – Wahalla Heritage Hotel. The most expensive hotel room we ever stayed and the most unimpressive one. However, we enjoyed our time at this beautiful park.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="US trip 201210" border="0" alt="US trip 201210" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8TMRlw5K7KA/UAAHPrldZnI/AAAAAAAANWc/rh_EEjVj7q0/US-trip-2012106.jpg?imgmax=800" width="470" height="284" /></font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">4th stop – Lake Tahoe</font></p> <p><font size="3">Beautiful saltwater lake which is one of the famous ski resort. It was the end of Spring when we were there, but it’s still pretty cold and the snows at the top of the mountains were still not fully melted. Thus we have the beautiful scenery surrounded the lake.

Daddy is in love with In-N-Out burger after being introduced by mummy. </font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">Flying back to Melbourne, we were very blessed to have some empty seats around. Thus, Selwyn & Rennice had 2 seats by themselves (but of course daddy become the best mattress for Rennice), while Ida & Esrene enjoyed our original 3 seats. They slept through the journey from LA to Auckland. </font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">Traveling with kids mean that we have to forgo a lot of things that we can do eg. watch Broadway show in NY, enjoy the night scene and city night life etc. However, w</font><font size="3">e enjoyed our trip in a different way…the joy of togetherness in one family. There was frustration and tiredness but its all worthy to spend the lovely holiday with our lovely girls, create the wonderful memory together.

We have been flying approx. 11,000 miles on the plane and travelling 3,100 miles on the car! </font></p> <p><font size="3"></font> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TmU5mRogm-8/T9FVAt21rpI/AAAAAAAAL1c/PgwC3LSlBHU/s1600-h/US-trip-map3.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="US trip map" border="0" alt="US trip map" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8H6jwopU9GA/T9FVCHLgAxI/AAAAAAAAL1k/HH1jOkdfJLw/US-trip-map_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="433" height="185" /></a></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">So what makes us decided to fly so far for our family holiday? Firstly Ida’s US visa is about to expire in 1 year’s time, use it while we can. Secondly, AUD is stronger than USD now, so we are in the privilege to travel to US at this moment. Thirdly NewZealand air was having very good promotion on the flight to US early this year. The tickets for 4 of us to fly to US was even cheaper than to Msia. </font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">It was a challenging and tiring trip travelling with 2 kids but we did had a great time together. Here’s our trip’s summary.</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">We took the 17 hours flight (excluding transit in NZ), flew from Melbourne to LA.

Two weeks ago, we had a party to celebrate both of their birthday – which is on Esrene’s actual birthday. This 3 years old girl know how to tell me which friends she wanted to invite and even helped me to put all her invitation cards to the envelopes for posting. Daddy also brought Esrene to the post box to post her own invitation card.</font></p> <p><font size="3">  <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fGXDQuK-3QI/T5iFqHmAvVI/AAAAAAAALhc/tkw6oUU4rII/s1600-h/20120325_134218%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="20120325_134218" border="0" alt="20120325_134218" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-AY2HY4HVaCg/T5iFrn2KTHI/AAAAAAAALhk/TvSqOUnMrdc/20120325_134218_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="254" height="336" /></a></font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">I was pretty busy with a few cake orders before hands and a big order on the same day. However, I haven’t been really making a good birthday cake for Esrene since her 1st birthday, so a day before her party, I decided to stay up to make the cake, and the special figurines for both of my beloved girls and did a simple dessert table for them. I am blessed to have mom here to help me with other party food and cleaning up the house for the party. </font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100CANON" border="0" alt="100CANON" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_BN49bYdRXw/T5iFtdxnKsI/AAAAAAAALhs/y8SAYUsoOrc/100CANON6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="417" height="587" /></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> <p><font size="3">Esrene was thrilled to see all her friends during the party. She had a bliss on that day, non stop playing with friends the whole morning till afternoon. While Rennice is still very young, she didn’t know much about what really happened. To her it is just another ordinary day with a lot of guests around. But she never fail to give everyone her best smile as she used to do. <img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4975" border="0" alt="IMG_4975" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZnaaSctvarA/T5iFufYCivI/AAAAAAAALh0/U-iFefp0TQ8/IMG_49755.jpg?imgmax=800" width="423" height="282" /></font></p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5000" border="0" alt="IMG_5000" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xMiJhxt1y4M/T5iFwKdTujI/AAAAAAAALiA/fIVw4dRvftk/IMG_50005.jpg?imgmax=800" width="422" height="281" /></p> <p><font size="2">Esrene enjoying her birthday meal – never fail to eat <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--u9xMaplio0/T5iFyCdT9sI/AAAAAAAALiE/avnP4uwUeic/wlEmoticon-smile2.png?imgmax=800" /></font></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="2"><font size="3">Cutting cake time!!!</font> </font></p> <p> </p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5011" border="0" alt="IMG_5011" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LEQy4py2NGQ/T5iF0O53W5I/AAAAAAAALiQ/709jIaqMuGw/IMG_50115.jpg?imgmax=800" width="236" height="288" /><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_5023" border="0" alt="IMG_5023" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-BjC3ut_TF4g/T5iF1Fa6a-I/AAAAAAAALiU/8Wa6bXR8jU4/IMG_50236.jpg?imgmax=800" width="219" height="327" /></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="3">Esrene wasn’t too happy being called out from the playground for cake cutting ceremony.

Well with 2 kids, work and housework, life have been hectic and most of the moms with 2 little kids and above will agree with that. </font></p> <p><font size="2">Time to catch up with some updates…well more like backdated post, here’s one, our 2011 trip to Singapore & Malaysia. </font></p> <p><font size="2">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</font></p> <p><font size="2">We had another opportunity to travel back to Penang again for our Christmas!! Thanks to Yea Yea for the generous sponsor. This is my 3rd trip to Penang but is Mei Mei’s 1st trip. I was so excited to be in the plane (actually I could not remember much of my previous plane ride). This time I have my own seat, my own TV and my big meal!! I am spoilt! </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="2"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0143" border="0" alt="IMG_0143" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-4ndJ_0ycSTU/T0IZ9QqptdI/AAAAAAAALgc/GMFMUE6NRtU/IMG_0143.jpg?imgmax=800" width="437" height="329" /><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0145" border="0" alt="IMG_0145" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FCtigcoSrkg/T0IZ-eQ77DI/AAAAAAAALgg/DYtIqIimLYU/IMG_0145.jpg?imgmax=800" width="451" height="337" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">I was so excited that I could not stop touching everything and refused to sit down properly even during take off and landing time. I refused to sleep as well, until I was so exhausted that I fell asleep when we touched down in Singapore!! Daddy had to carry me down the plane with the hand luggage as I refused to wake up! Mei Mei was behaving very well. She had her good nap after mummy put the ear muffs on her (to stop the noise in the plane that will wake her up). <img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0140" border="0" alt="IMG_0140" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-H377_yVuoA4/T0IZ_YVB3aI/AAAAAAAALgs/naNdoVEWX5U/IMG_01401%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="430" height="320" /></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="2"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0124" border="0" alt="IMG_0124" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-CGKkIIXDFpw/T0IaAQkyOKI/AAAAAAAALgw/xOMxII5iPWo/IMG_01241%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="298" height="394" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">We arrived in Singapore close to midnight Australia time. Uncle Eu Jin (daddy mummy’s friend) picked us up in the airport to our hotel. I continued to doze off in the car until I arrived hotel. I was wide awake after that with the new environment and new room. Both Mei Mei and I had jetlack on the first 2 days, we woke up at 4-5am which was 8am Australia time. However, we had a great time in Singapore walking around enjoying the beautiful Christmas decoration, lights and meeting a lot of aunties, uncles and new friends.</font></p> <p><font size="2"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0154" border="0" alt="IMG_0154" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1SP-4cRce1Y/T0IaBT61vBI/AAAAAAAALg4/Up4LuN7jSPY/IMG_01541%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="326" height="429" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">“Jie Jie” refused to walk, want “bao bao” so daddy had to backpack her most of time!</font></p> <p><font size="2">We spent our next one week in Penang visiting family and being spoilt by Yea Yea, Ma Ma, Po Po, aunties and uncles! I also get to enjoy yummy nice food in Penang this time while “mei mei” get to meet up a lot of relatives that haven’t see her before. Thank you everyone for making the time to meet up with us!! </font></p> <p><font size="2">We also want to thank God for the safe journey, enjoyable trip and keep all of us healthy during the trip. </font></p> <p><font size="2"> </font></p> <p><font size="2"></font></p> <p><font size="2"></font></p> <p><font size="2"></font></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443270264898824306.post-74918711190807710002011-12-19T17:28:00.001-08:002012-01-04T04:24:56.669-08:00Christmas 2011<div> <br /></div> <p><span style="font-size: x-small"><font size="2">Another dated post!!

She can’t wait for Friday to come so that she can go to “auntie Vicki’s place”. Maybe she is too bored at home just facing mummy, mei mei and tv. As the year close to the end, Esrene’s carer Vicki passed us some CDs of Esrene’s photos she had taken over the year. We can see how much this little girl has grown throughout the year in these photos and we can also see how much she enjoyed her self there meeting good friends. While busy with handling 2 kids, Esrene seems just to "pass by us" without us realising how much she has grown...oh...if only we can stop the time!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">As a result, “Jie jie” also learned from me and starts to blow raspberry together. This annoys daddy mummy sometimes. But daddy mummy, we are just forming a raspberry blowing choir!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Daddy mummy realised that I have a very cute reaction whenever I blow raspberry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">I love to stand up even though I still cannot crawl or sit by myself. I love standing since I was 2 months old! I have very strong legs. I will be very happy when daddy or mummy let me stand up on my feet!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">I am a pretty lay back baby you see. Despite of mummy trying to attract me with some toys, I still lay down on my back comfortably, look at mummy and smile instead of trying to reach out to the toys. Even I can flip over now, I will not flip over straight when daddy mummy put me down on the floor. When I flip over, on my tummy, I will stay on the same position for quite some times instead of flipping around like ‘jie jie’ used to do. Daddy said that’s his gene – lay back! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">Daddy mummy think that I am a very quiet baby. I can stay there quietly observing everyone without making much noise. However when I start crying, nobody can stand my loud voice! I will not only cry, but scream my lung out so that everyone can hear me. Often this will wake “jie jie” (sister) up in the morning when I woke up at 5-6am crying. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">I have a very different characters and temperament from ‘jie jie’. I want to have accompany all the time. When I see daddy or mummy or jie jie not around me I will start whining and even crying! I love them to cuddle or carry me most of the time. Mummy says I need to learn to play by myself instead. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">I still want mummy to give me dream feed at 9ish every night, if not I will wake up very early the next day crying out of hungry! Even with the dream feed, most of the time I still wake up at 6ish instead of waking up after 7am (12 hours sleep). On and off I even wake up crying at 4-5am and refused to sleep back!! That makes daddy mummy very tired. Sorry daddy mummy, I am just a hungry little girl who always wants cuddle!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">Despite all these, I am still their sweet little princess that never fail to capture their heart with my sweet smile! </span><br />

This concluded our 3 nights short holiday Gold Coast. I enjoyed my holiday very much being spoilt by Yea Yea, Ma Ma & Pak Pak!!!! Daddy & mummy was quite tired during the holiday having to wake up constantly at night to attend to ‘mei mei’ and we woke up very early every morning during the trip too! However, they still enjoy the time spent together with the family during the trip. Daddy mummy, can we have more of the family trip please??</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Bookman Old Style"></font></p> <p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2710" border="0" alt="IMG_2710" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dGFywSEXKK4/TmQ5QxvtaNI/AAAAAAAALW4/g6EMGT7fz2c/IMG_27107.jpg?imgmax=800" width="443" height="561" /></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
