Expressive

Indeed it have been a while I did not update this site and my wtpg had turned fantastic 5 three weeks ago.
Guilty mum, especially seeing such milestone the girls had achieved and I have not been diligently updating. How can I?

Brought the girls to Terpanyaki dinner on their birthday. They had enjoyed it and see how Clara had imprinted the moment into pictorial without any guidance...

She impressed & surprised me!

Nothing artistic but I simply love it.
Her drawing is joyful.
She is a happy girl.






Another piece of her doodle...
See all the happy animals...

















and I love her details.
She had added a signboard... Zoo

Clarabelle's stomach

Last night Clara was groaning....
" M-o-m-m-y... I am so f-u-l-l..."

Im so worried as she look very agony : " Clarabelle, are you Ok?"

She shook her head
" No...oh.. I am not ok... "

Poor girl. She ate so much tonight. I looked at her bloated stomach... It was so rounded! Like a baked bean! Will burst any moment !

What she had that night.

after school... while waiting for the daddy to arrive

• her usual 180ml milk
• 1 sweet azuki bun (normally a slide of bread only)
• fruits platter (1 order 2 pcs papaya & 1 pc honeydew for the two girls to share, probably she had the major portion as she's always a quick eater -_-)

when reached my mum's plc for dinner...

• her usual bowl of rice with fish & veggie & meat (she shdnt be able to finish as she had heavy snack eariler but she gobble all -_-)
• 1 portion of papaya again (Gong gong had prepared for them and she gobbled all again -_-)

when home...

• 1/2 cup of TCM medicine
• her usual 180ml milk

My little hungry caterpiller clarabelle...

and her monster doodle

-_-

p/s: probably she her poo-poo will be alot today. Haha!

Picasso??

On Tuesday night, after dinner, the girls were self doodling. I saw Abella drew something unusual...

me: " Wow! Abella, what a nice piece of drawing. Can you tell mommmy what is that?"

She pointed to the two bigger swirl... " this is the eye, got two eyes" and the smaller swirl " this is the nose" and the funny shape on the right... "this is the ear" and then very obvious, the long shape on the bottom is the mouth!

HA HA! Her drawing is so hilarious. It made me laughed.

Quickly I wipped out the camera... took some pix of her and hers masterpiece. Then came Clara with her "three flatten circle", wanted me to take pix of her too!

Haha! My two lovely girls... :)

My First Mother's Day Card (Belated)

Yesterday on the way to school, Clarabelle posted me a question.

" Mummy, why you didnt accompany me to school? "

I quickly strike the metal while it's still hot.

" Yes... mommy will like to fetch you & Abella to school but every morning Clarabelle & Abella dont cooperate with daddy & mommy, so we are late for work and daddy has to drop mommy at the bus-stop instead and fetch you both to school himself."

" But, if both of u cooperate with daddy & mommy then we can leave the house on time and daddy & mommy not late for work then mommy can accompany Clara & Abella to school..."

The girls took awhile to digest my words but seem enlighten and replied : " Ok!"

Hee... actually we are partial to blame cos some time we over-slept too :p

Feeling guilty, I decided to pick up the girls from school that evening. Normally their father will picked them up first as his work place is near to their school, after that then fetch me from work.

Then when I was at their school, I was so delighted to find this belated MOTHER'S DAY CARD in their buggy hole!

Hee... This is their first gift for me... thought most of it must be done by the teacher, probably only the hand prints are theirs... but this is precious : )

Today, I woke up extremely early, thought the girls were still procrastinating initially but we manage to leave the house in time... : )

On the way to school, I had made deal with the girls that no crying and pestering when mommy has to leave for work after seeing them to school. Althought after so long, I suppose they are ok and everytime when I alight at the bus stop, they are so well behave... still I just want to reassure : )

And after making so many promises, the moment they stepped into their school...

immediately the 2 girls...

Wah!!! mommy accompany me... mommy carry me... I want mommy... -_-

The daddy gave me his white eye and said... " you must walk them to the playground... and must take the long route..."

I followed as per his instruction.

Then when in the playground... they were still pestering me to carry them...

white eyes from the man again...

"Dont! Just give them a good-bye hug then go!" then kept nagging at me, move! move! ignore them! move on!

*Irritating fellow*

On the way to my bus... the hubby called... " guess what? I went back to see them & they are playing like nobody!"

I knew that... dont need you to tell me -_-

Today I'm late for work again... caught in a sudden rain too ""_""

Update...

Girls, what's today news huh? kekeke...

Tomorrow will be the girls one month old in the school. Generally I would say they are adapting well. Since last week, when I wave bye to them, they will still cranky and trying their luck if can pester me to accompany them in school. But very soon they realised the fact, just request a kiss from me :* and happily wave bye to me. Clarabelle even tell me to be careful... such a dear right?

Though they are adapting well in the school but children are also vulnerable to virus. Almost near to every weekend, they will sure bring back some germs too. Imagine for just 3 weeks only, they were MC for 3 days?!!

1st weekend, they had cough, fever n running nose. On 2nd week Friday, they came home with cough & running nose again. Luckily they recovered over the weekend. Then 3rd week Thursday, Abella had diarrhoea & both still coughing... -_-

I know this is inevitable and hopfully they can overcome those virus very soon. If not mummy's A-leave will gone very soon... I believe both of you want mummy to bring you for holiday this year right? So you must practice good hygiene and take good care of yourself hor ;)

Feedback from the teacher...
Both of them enjoy school very well. Participate in all the activities. They are a pair of joyous kids.

Abella
Very independant. Take instructions. Social skill yet to be developed. Attached to selective teachers, in fact one only -_-

Clarabelle
Good social skill. Very fun child but likes to depend on teacher assistant.

Yesterday went to fetch the girls. Spotted Abella's craft pinned up... haha! Abella's happy face. Asked where's Clarabelle's craft? Teacher say not done yet. Hm... distracting girls, no focusing, that explain why she cant finish her craft -_-

Then I was looking for a child called Lucus, who had sunk all his insicors & canines into my Abella's wrist few days ago. Luckily he went off earlier, if not... hiak hiak hiak...

No lah, just curious to meet the boy :p Abella was no really frightful, infact very brave to articulate the whole incident to me...

Abe : "Lucus snatch my toy... Lucus cry... and bite me... then Abella cry... 张老师 carry me... Lucus naughty... ... ..."

and then repeat again to her ah ma... and again to ah yi...and daddy...and ah gong....

Complaint queen... -_-

Colour Outburst

(Thanks CM, for sharing this website)
Last weekend I exposed my girls to watercolour painting. Their reaction to it is not as excited as when they saw me brought home a big purple bouncing ball, but they didnt resist either. Quietly they watched me doing the setup, squeezed out colour from the tubes, blended with the brush, painted a few stroke. Then I let them have the brush to unleash their creativity.
I didnt brought enough brush for the children, so Abella didnt get to have a brush and surprising she didnt snatch from Clarabelle but exploring the box of water colour, unscrewed the tube cover, squeezing out some colour then cleaned her stained finger on the paper. I helped her with more colour on her palm and printed it on the paper and some on her white shirt. She must be wondering why did mommy does that but hack care, took liberty, spreaded more colours on the paper and squeezed more colour from the tube. Clarabelle saw, received the cue, become more daring to " mess " with the brush...
Though they didnt burst with laughter, giggling away like when they are playing the big purple bouncing ball, I thought they enjoyed very much with the "messing", just quietly.

See the artistic children after the mess...
