Happy Father's Day!

Weeks before Father's Day, I have been trying to surf up the internet to see what I can do together with Eunice to give her daddy a small present. Many ideas came but in the end, I saw in Eunice's school's weekly report that they have been doing pasting quite a bit, so I'll let her do the same at home.

I use a heart puncher to punch out a lot of small hearts, and let Eunice stick on a big heart that I cut out. It's a secret project. We did it when daddy went to work at night. Oh she loves doing it. In fact, after she finished doing it, she still asked to do the same.

Stick stick stick. Look at her full concentration.

All the little hearts on the big heart. Got her to write I + Daddy.

Ever since she went school, her writing skill has improved a lot. I got her to write I & Daddy but I guess I over-expect on her. Hehehe.. There were still some errors. That's why in the end, I had to cut out the heart and paste it on another piece of paper. And I held her hand lightly to write the words.

It's supposed to be a surprise so I didn't tell Eunice much about it, knowing that she'll sure tell her daddy about it. Well, the next day, the moment she got into the house after EG picked her up from babysitter's place, the first thing she told me was, "Mummy, I want the small heart I sticked one.." Gahh.. no more surprise!

The happy daddy and his card

On the Father's day itself, we baked brownies together. I bought a premix brownies from Aus, which my friend recommended highly. It's super super easy. I only need to mix in melted butter and eggs, and mix mix mix. So I let Eunice do it, well, just action action only. But she surely enjoyed it.

I poured in the melted butter because it's hot. Then I got her to pour in the eggs. I mixed them together already and I asked her to mix it so she was just playing along. But I can see she's proud. I got her to pour in the chocolate chips as well, and arranged them. Then off into the over it went.

Needless to say, the brownies was a success. Daddy and the big girl had it together as snack before bed time. And it's best to go with a scoop of ice cream. Yummy!

Happy Father's Day to our hero!

Happy Father's Day to our hero! 

We love you!

You're the best daddy for us!

The purple dress

Last weekend while we were back to Taiping, we went to Fajar to find some cheap home clothings for Eunice to wear at home. She saw a purple dress, and told me she wanted to try it.

I told her it's not nice but she insisted that it's nice and wanted to try it. Alright, so I brought the dress into the fitting room and let her try it. So, that's how she looked in the dress.

I opened the door and let her daddy, and grandparents have a look of her in the purple dress. Daddy said it's too big for you. She asked, why? Daddy said you're still small. I said you need to eat more rice and grow bigger first. Daddy said, Yea, this dress is for Megan, not you.

Note: Megan is a 6yo girl at her babysitter's place.

So we didn't buy the dress.

She and her purple dress in the fitting room

After that, this whole week she kept mentioning about the dress.

Incident 1:
During dinner, she was eating her rice very fast, and big spoonful too. She told me, "Mummy, see I eat my rice so fast..!" Then I praised her, good girl. Then she finished her rice and told me, "Yay, I finished my rice! I big girl dy! I can wear the purple dress already!"

Incident 2:
I picked her up from babysitter's place and when she saw me at the door, she ran to me shouting "Mummy, today I finished my rice. I big girl already! I can wear the purple dress now!"

Incident 3:
At home, she went toilet herself and wore back her pants herself, and washed her hands herself too. I asked her, "Did you wipe? Did you wash hand?" She said, "Yes, I did. I big girl already, I can wear the purple dress already.."

Geez... EG said there're a few incidents of her mentioning the purple dress when he's with her too. Guess my little girl now has her sense of beauty now.

Now, before going to school, she will request what ribbon or clips to wear on her head. This morning, I asked her if we can just wear a hair band for her because we're late already. She said, "No, mummy.. Today, err.. I want to tie plait!".. Gee, I need to improve my hair tying skills really. I am never a mummy who knows how to deco herself, so now I have two girls that I need to "deco". I guess it's time to learn some skills. :)

Natalie: Bad Hair Day @ 10th Mth

My baby Natalie is now 10 mths old. Oh, she surely keeps me very busy. She's very different from her sister Eunice. But one thing for sure, they are equally manja. Once we raise voice, or if we beat her (lightly - especially when she keeps turning while changing diaper), she'll burst out in loud cry. Sometimes we look at her sternly when she did something that she shouldn't, she'll stare at us with her big eyes, waiting for our next response. If we smile to her, she'll give us her big wide smile, but if we continue to be stern and our voice sounds stern, she'll then cry out loud. :)

Nevertheless, she's still such a darling to us.

I love to see her waking up in the morning. I normally pumped in the room after I get up. Sometimes, she'll wake up when she heard some noise. And I'll see her struggling to sit up, trying hard to open her eyes, and kept making noises - as if she's going to lose any playful opportunity. And the moment she opens her big eyes wide, she'll greet us with her sweetest smile, the toothless smile. Yea, still no sign of tooth at 10 mths. :)

Both my babies have lots of hair, and we never shave them. It's too beautiful to shave their hair. Natalie has more hair than her sister. I managed to capture some of her pics when she woke up 2 days ago. I think she had a bad hair day. It really cheer up my days looking at her pictures. :)

It's not easy to take her pics and she's very very active

Sleepy look? Not really, just because she's moving a lot...

Now she looks awake :)

She and her two favorite fingers, which comfort her most of the time :)

I took a video too. :)

We're going to bring her for a hair cut this weekend. It's cute for her to have so much hair, I know, but I think it's kinda hot and unruly now. But I hope her hair will grow long enough for her birthday party in the next 2 months.

She's such a beautiful baby. :)
