Don't know Mode

Maybe it is a transition, or maybe my little Princess is just plain lazy to answer questions. Children can be mischevous sometimes, and they just like to play jokes on adults.

My Princess Jan can act and talk like adult sometimes, but other days, she pretends she did not hear the questions or simply answer us "I don't know". I know she knows the answer, but she just answer me with "I don't know". Er, feel like slapping her butt for saying that.

Me: How was your first dancing class, Princess?
Princess: I don't know.
Me: What do you mean you don't know. What did you do?
Princess: I don't know.
Me: Alright. Did teacher teach you how to move your feet?
Princess: No. Teacher ask us to sit and roll the ball to friends.


Er, I wonder if she is in the right class??? Never mind, I try again next week when she goes to her 2nd dancing class.

First dancing class

My princess is going to have her dancing class this afternoon. I wonder whether she would be enjoying her first dancing class or not. I wish I could sneak out from work and take a glimpse of her in school......Hmm, I am sure soon she will become a ballerina and showing off her dancing skill to us at home.

I am very like it!

One of Princess Jan's speech errors that I find irritating. "I very like it, mummy", "I am very love you" etc. I know she is trying to say "I like it very much" or "I love you very much", but after I corrected her twice, she still cannot get rid of this grammar quirk.

I know that she is just a little kid and learning is a long journey for her. But a good start is the best. I would like her to use the correct grammar and pick up correctly.

Sucking job

Baby Jay is now 4 months plus baby. He is weighing around 7.4kg. Mummy is not strong enough to carry him around. Lol!!

He simply loves to put anything in his mouth and start sucking. From his blanket, fingers,toys to anything that he can grab. There were times when I caught him sucking his blanket till that part of the blanket was wet with his saliva. If I or Big J scolded him for sucking, he will just look at us with his big round eyes and laugh. Lol!!



He drools a lot lately, don't tell me he is teething that young??? Anyway, I started to give him a teething toy for him to bite. He does not enjoy taking his pacifier, so I do not force him. He does not need pacifier, so I thank god that I do not need to wean him on that. He is a good angel, but if he lies down too long, he will start to cry or scream, until you have no choice but to carry him. Sigh!!

Sister nags

She will nag her brother if he is noisy. "Don't make noise, Baby Jay". "Do not cry", or "Baby, you cannot do that".

This morning, I overheard her talking to her brother in the room. "Baby, do not put your hands into your mouth. Do not do that. I am angry with you". Then she walked away but few seconds later, she came to her brother and start to nag him again on hand sucking. Lol!

And when I try to feed Baby Jay his medicine, Princess Jan was asking Baby Jay to drink his medicine instead of throwing the medicine out. "You have to drink medicine, baby, then you get better". Yes, that is my kay-poh and know-it-all daughter.

My Princess Jan knows how to nag people. She will nag her dad to wake up every morning so she would not be late for school. She will nag me to give her milk. She will nag her brother if he makes too much noise while she watches tv. Irregardless of her nags, she loves her brother very much. She will check on him from time to time. Every morning, the first thing she does would be greeting her brother "Good morning".

Under the weather

Baby Jay has been sick earlier this week. I noticed that he coughed on Monday evening, and immediately we took him to see the paediatrician. Paediatrician could not find any problem with him but she gave us some cough/flu syrup just in case. His condition got worse on Tuesday evening when I picked him and Princess from the baby sitter’s house.

So, I gave him his medicine and he slept pretty well through the night. He did not drink his milk although he woke up twice. Maybe he was uncomfortable with the sneeze and flu, and hardly wanted to drink his milk. Fortunately by morning, he managed to finish up 3 Oz of milk.

The first night, Baby Jay making so much noise and stayed awake for almost 2 hours. So, you can imagine the next morning, I could not get up if not because of my alarm. I was weary the whole Wednesday in the office. Lol!

Baby Jay is still recovering from his sickness. Maybe it is the weather. Rainy and cold season. No one in the family or baby sitter is sick so wonder how he got the flu.

Crying?

I asked Princess Jan yesterday whether she cried on her first day in school. At first she said no, and then she changed her statement to "yes". When I asked her why she cried, she said she cried because she needs to go to toilet! Lol!

At first, she told me two of her friends cried in the class room and she did not cry. But when she needed to go to relieve herself, she cried. Probably new teacher. She is not used to the new class teacher so she did not dare to ask for permission. Poor girl. Other than that, she was doing fine on her first day.

New schedule

I got Princess Jan's communication book from her school this morning. They had orientation last Saturday but I did not attend since I could not take leave that day. I just noticed that her class starts from 8am to 1130am. And it means that Big J has to get up early to send the children every weekday. Lol!

I remember last year both EDP and P1 started at 830am while P2 and P3 started at 8am. I guess this year they standardised the hours. For the whole week, Princess Jan will have orientation and classes end earlier around 1030am, and next week, classes will be normal.

I must get Princess and Big J to sleep early from tonight onwards otherwise how to wake both up to be in time for school??
