Mei Mei's Arrival

Finally the wait is over. My little sister came to this world on May 18th morning at 3.15kg.

Mommy has been having contraction pain on May 16th night (Friday) and I was sent to inform Daddy. We were both on the bed, Mommy preparing to put me to sleep. But I was naughty and kept wanting her to read story books to me, look at my photo albums and play with the camera. Then suddenly Mommy felt the contractions coming. Daddy was in the hall, so she sent me to tell Daddy, just so that he's aware and be prepared. She's been waiting for signs that never came ever since she started her maternity leave on May 13th.

I went to the hall and told Daddy that Mommy was in pain (Mommy tong tong). Daddy came in and asked Mommy to time the contraction. It was not regular yet, but he went off to prepare the camera, camcorder, etc. He even called Amah to say that he might be sending me over anytime. But after midnight, no more signs, and I get to sleep with Mommy.

The next morning, no signs as well. So Mommy and Daddy took Poh Poh and Gong Gong and myself to market. They came over to accompany Mommy when she started her maternity leaves. We had breakfast and did some marketing. Poh Poh and Gong Gong cooked lunch for us all. At about 4.30pm, Mommy started to feel the contraction pain at 5 mins apart. She and Daddy got me ready and sent me over to Amah's place. When I reached Amah's place, I was already asleep (I woke up very early that day and didn't sleep until then).

And the next thing I knew is that Mommy has delivered a baby girl. They said she looked like me when I was born last time. And I was told that her name is Mei Mei :)

Time for Some Arts

Since I was at home with Mommy the whole day during her maternity leave, Mommy let me be a home artist for the first time. She had bought all the necessary stuffs for me long time ago, but she did not have the chance to let me try this. So, when she saw me didn't want to sleep and ran out of ideas what to do with me, she suddenly remembered this...

Ya, I made such a mess that she finally made me sit on the newspaper. Even with that, I couldn't help adding more colors to the floor.

Ta-da....here's my final work :)

Finger Tips

Mommy took me for a trial at Finger Tips when she started her maternity leave on May 13th. I was exactly 29 months old that day. My place at Tumble Tots was already taken, so Mommy let me try Finger Tips. I enjoyed myself very much there.

When I first arrived, I felt very much at home. I went to the toys section straightaway, and I introduced myself to the other kids. Then, we played with the playdough. The teacher read stories to us, and we sang songs. Mommy was very impressed with the kids, they seemed to know all the songs and actions by heart. As for me, since I don't know what they were singing, I sang my own version - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star :) Mommy couldn't help smiling at me.



Could you see me? Yes, I was at the corner there, Mommy always said that I like to be by myself rather than be at the center with the rest.



Since I enjoyed it so much, Mommy decided to get me started the very next day. She took me for the influenza shot that very day itself so that when I start the next day, I would be 'protected'. There were so many sick kids there, some have cough, some fever and some have runny nose. It's the sick season again.

The next day, Mommy took me there for my first lesson. I didn't have enough sleep, and I was in a bad mood. I wouldn't want to participate in the activities. Since I just had my milk, I wouldn't want to take the breakfast there. Instead, I went to the toys corner and played with the toys. Later, we did some water color painting. The teacher gave us a sponge each with different characters. I got a bear. She painted some color on it and let us dabbed on our paper. I could see lots of bear bear printed on my paper after that.

Later, we washed our hands and went on to do some writings. I was not interested, so I played by myself instead. After a while, I grew tired and wanted to sleep. I asked for my boh boh and chut chut, the teachers laughed at me while the kids were so curious with my chut chut and kept pulling at it. I was angry, and cried. Later, they left me alone and got me a mattress so that I could lie down and sleep.

After awhile, when the rest of the kids sat in a circle and sang songs, I was intrigued and went to join them.

But my attention span was not long. See what I was up to next?

Yes, I want to sleep! Then, I saw a car seat nearby and went to rest in there. See, Mommy took some evidence to show Daddy that I was not participating in school that day... oops!

I then asked for nen nen, but the teacher asked Mommy to let me try some bihun instead. It's supposed to be our lunch that day. Luckily, I liked it, so later, I joined the rest to eat at the table. I had a second helping!

We finished school by ~12.45pm and then Mommy took me home. We had to fetch Gong Gong and Poh Poh, who have just arrived from Ipoh.

Well, so did I really start school? After some discussion with Poh Poh and Amah, Mommy and Daddy decided not to start yet but wait until Mei Mei's arrival later to decide. That's because Daddy would need to fetch me during lunch time everyday when Mommy's in confinement, and it might be too tiring for him - with the hospital trips, etc..
