I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug

Won't you say you love me too?

Wednesday, January 04, 2006 A Helping Hand

Hello from BabyCenter!

Toddlers love to feel like they're making an important contribution to any activity. Your child will want to help you around the house now, and you may find that this makes chores more fun for both of you — or you may find yourself dismayed by how long it takes you to get anything done. Avoid frustration and save your important housecleaning tasks for times when your toddler is asleep or out of the house. When the two of you are together, let him help with small chores like putting his plastic cup and bowl into the dishwasher, throwing wet clothes into the dryer, or wiping up a spill.


DZ is doing exactly these things nowadays. She takes the broom to sweep the house, wipes spill with tissue papers (my tissue box running out of tissues) and then throws the tissues on the floor, comes to the kitchen and taking out things drom the cabinet but she is a sweetie in putting it back where she took them from including the tissues :D. She helps me to carry the dry cloths to the sofa and is exceptionally good in messing the folded cloths. She helps me with the bedsheets too. Once the house is spic and span, she likes to throw her toys and books all over the place. Every night before we go to bed, it is my DH's duty to keep her toys back where it should be and the next day when DZ enters the house, she does it again. I think she doesn't like it when the house is too tidy :)
She knows where to place her shoes once she enters the house, knows where the papers are kept if I asked for them and she knows her room and if we ask her to sleep in the other room, she brings me to her room when she is sleepy. She doesn't like it if I tell her I am going to work. She knows she goes to her nani place in the morning and she goes there without any complain but at night if I jokingly ask her to sleep at nani's place, she refuses :D
DH is teaching her kick boxing for now. Hopefully I can get her to go for classes to widen her interest.

NEW YEAR SALE!
SALE GOING ONCE,
SALE GOING TWICE,
AND SALE NO MORE...

It was the last day of our holiday before we back to our work or school for the new year and it was also DH's off day on Monday. Mom was back Spore in the morning and she came to my place. DZ woke up at the sound of the doorbell. She was very happy to see her nani after 4 days. She slept with her nani and we all got up late that morning. As usual house cleaning and it is a never ending task for us ladies. Once the cleaning was done, we went shopping at Great World City. We reached there at 6pm and we head to Mac cos we were all very hungry. DZ had her nuggets and I had mac spicy burger. It tasted funny though, not sure if the meat was spoiled or the sauce but I ate it up all :). I was very hungry. DH and mom had Mac chicken meal. My sister joined us later on. We wanted to get bedsheets from AUSSINO. We asked them about the promotion deal which they advertised on the paper and guess what, those plain bedsheets that goes for 9.90 was out of stock at all outlets (according to the sales girl). Even the deal of a dollar pillow for any purchase above 10 dollars was over. We saw the ad on Sunday and when we went there on Monday, there was nothing left except for the single bedsheets and the bedskirts for Queen and King size beds. The sales girl asked me if I wanted to see those that cost abit more. It was ok with me as I wanted a plain one very much so I asked her for a red plain bedsheet for queen size and she went like, sorry out of stock. I looked over at the shelves to see what other colors were available and to my surprise, there wasn't any single queen size bedsheeets of those plain ones. The only one that was available are those that cost more than 100 dollars. We wasted our trip there but I eventually bought two PRINTED bedsheets. Next time if there is any SALE, I must make sure I am there early morning without brushing my teeth...hehe just kidding.

Back to blogging

I just dumped my 2005 calender in my drawer. The year 2006 is finally here. I enjoyed the last weekend holiday well with my family. My mom was not in town for the first 2 days of the holiday and I had to stay over at her place again for the holiday. The good thing was that we watched the fireworks from my mom's place. We wanted to go up to Mt Faber to watch the fireworks but dad advised us not to go as we got to walk up there and it would be crowded. Instead we walked up to Telok Blangah Hill which is just 10 mins away from my mom's place. We reached there at 11pm and there were already few families waiting up there. Alot of them were walking up too. DZ and DA could not keep still and my sis & I were practically behind them all the time. The fireworks started at the strike of 12 and that was when DZ started crying too. She was awake the whole day and was feeling very tired. She got scared looking at the fireworks and the sounds of the "Ooohs and Wooow" from the crowd. She dropped her pacifier and we could not find it in the dark. She was the only one crying down there while DA was enjoying the fireworks with excitement. The best part standing at Telok Blangah Hill was being able to watch the fireworks from 3 different places all at one time :D. The one from Esplanade was to our left , the one at MT Faber was in the center and there was another one on our right. I am not sure where the third fireworks was from. It was simply fantastic having to watch all 3 of them. It was like watching a tennis game. DA was so good in shifting her eyes from her right to her left and then back to her right again. DZ was crying all the while and DH had to carry her away from the crowd. We took our bil's car key and sat inside the car. I watched the firework for a while before carrying DZ and rocking her to sleep. She must have been very tired as she slept in the car crying . After the fireworks, we head to Tanjong Pagar to have our supper. DZ was sleeping in my arms while I ate my prata. DH and I decided to sit in the car while waiting for DF to finish his prata. My sister was with him. My dear hubby did not tell me that he was having the key with him. We sat in the car and the door was auto locked. DZ was sleeping and suddenly I felt suffocating. We could not wind down the window as well. DH forgotten that he was holding on to the key and we were trying to call my bil on his hp so that he can open the door for us. He was not picking his ph. My heart started beating fast and I was more worried for DZ. Thankfully after few mins, I saw my sister crossing the road and walking towards the car. I signalled her to open the door fast and we were all suffocating inside. She opened the door and told us that the key was with my hubby. My hubby gave me that innocent look that he really forgot that the key was with him. My sister was lauging when she told my bil what happened. We reached home at 1.30am that day.:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME MYSELF & I (my blog) & to all my blogger friends
