After 6 nights.....

Finally after 6 nights of separation with Eeanne, yesterday night at least mommy's life has gone back to normal....we slept together!!!

Hai....we do not care of the prevention anymore, instead we think that if Eeanne to get infected, better to be now! At least there will be 10days for recovery before our family trip to Singapore Universal Studio!! We have booked for flight tickets and hotels...Eeanne...either you have the chicken pox now or to be strong against it....

Oh...with Eeanne sleeping around at night, it is so complete.. Our bedtime story started again after 6 days interruption ;-P

ParenThots - Allow the child freedom to do things

ParenThots - Allow the child freedom to do things

This is an good article to share.

Sometimes as a mother myself, unrealisingly mommy will put some restriction on what Eeanne can or cannot do especially thinking of the mess of after event.

This article ring a bell to mommy to:

- be more attentive to Eeanne

- give more guided free hands to Eeanne to try on new task

- praise Eeanne on her effort rather than result

- be more observance on her repeat role play with her miniatures, some characters are being built in the process...

Parenting....a life long course to embark....:-)

I Have Grown Up....

There is quite some times that mommy didn't care about our garden...

Since now plenty time is available for mommy, today the mood just came back for gardening, and then mommy just realised that our garden has been abandoned for months...:(

Today mommy bought 2 long pots and organic soil for our vegetable planting. Eeanne was so eager to help with her mini shovel and watering can. Eeanne was indeed very helpful in flattening the soil and putting the seed sparingly on the soil, then patiently watered the pot several rounds with her so tiny watering can.

Mommy: Ok enough Eeanne....

Eeanne: No mommy, I can help you, you are old already.....

Mommy: Huh...you say mommy is old!!!

Eeanne: No...I mean you are getting old already, I can help you because I have grown up.....

oh...this phrase soothes everything...:-)

Mommy...I have grown up....

Eeanne is helping putting the lettuce seed, 4 months from now we may harvest the fruit from Eeanne's hard work....

Lettuce vege planted 3 months ago after we came back from Janda Baik.

Our home planted organic lettuce...hooray...

My First Tri-Scooter

Looking at these pictures taken 4 months ago, when mommy bought Eeanne her first tri-scooter, now mommy already thinking of it is time to get Eeanne her first real bicycle with 2 extra side wheels fixed.

It is always very satisfying by observing Eeanne's motor skill improvement...:-)

Manjalela Park....

An outdoor sport day at Manjalela Park with Joshua...

It was planned for so long to visit Joshua, Eeanne's foster brother since last year. Mommy and daddy were really so tie up, this post was actually took place in Jan 2011, but mommy was delaying the posting till now...paise....

In future, mommy will be more free to update Eeanne's progress....hehehehe......

Nice scenery with the pure white fountain and busy tortoise chasing after the breadcrumbs.

Mommy likes these rear views the most....

10 years from now, these brother & sister will say: "all those days......"

Jennifer+Eeanne < Joshua

mommy's heart was pumping fast looking at Eeanne playing this, yet when looking at this picture now, mommy realises that Eeanne will soon be independent and able to stand strong by her own....:-)

Irresistible Touch.....

My cheeky Eeanne knowing mommy is having chicken pox and avoid contacting with her, she is deliberately kept coming near to mommy...;P

Worrying that Eeanne might get infected (even though already been vaccinated), mommy still tried to keep an distance from her.

Mommy: aiyo...Eeanne....mommy miss you so much....I feel like hugging and kissing you la.....

Eeanne(showing her protruding lips and running near to mommy): come mommy...kekekeke...

Then the teasing started....

-Eeanne was really chasing mommy round and round the table

-Eeanne was trying to sit on mommy's lap

-Mommy was pushing against while Eeanne was pushing forward, we were pushing here and there:-)

- We ran up and down the staircase

-Eeanne quietly crawled to mommy and purposely touched mommy's leg

-Eeanne purposely ran near to mommy, put her hands on mommy's shoulder..

:=), :=), :=), :=)

Although with the feel of worry, it mixed with that indescribable feelings of warmth, love and passion. Mommy really feels like holding, hugging, kissing and tickling Eeanne....help.......

The irresistible touch is going to drive mommy crazy....

What if Eeanne get infected?

Think it is good also to let her has it at this young age..

mmmmm.....if mommy can't stand anymore.......Eeanne, then you will know....:=P

Eeanne 4 Years Old.....

We celebrated Eeanne's birthday rather early this year because daddy was not around on the real date of Eeanne's big day. Remember during Eeanne's 2nd birthday, mommy made a home made muffin for Eeanne. This year, mommy made a 2nd round baking (since then..:-)) with chocolate cupcake, it was a real success and thanks for the Baker's One ready made recipe..:-)

So it was on 14th May 2011!!!

That morning, mommy woke up earlier than usual to prepare the baking, quite worry that it won't turn out....but with Eeanne's help, everything turn out so perfectly..:-)

My princess..helped to fill in the cup....

mmmm....Eeanne likes the cupcake....yeh!!!

The ready made Baker's One recipe is packed for the size of 16 cups, thus during the party, it was not sufficient to give all the guests a treat...what a waste....mommy should make more in future..hehehe....

Party Time....

Steamboat as our favourite choice, the simplest and cleanest way for party....thanks for mama's help to get all the preparation ready.

The initial plan was to have a simple party with only few Eeanne's cousins, but don't know how it turnout all the KL relatives were invited to share this joyful day:-)...paise...the food was not sufficiently tailored for this unplanned crowd, ended up daddy "ta pao" the Domino Pizza while mama last minute added on the fried bee hoon....(really poor estimation...paise)

since when my princess learn this pose!!??

Kids time.....all the birthday gifts were unwrapped too fast before mommy may have an eye on it....Eeanne was too generous to share unwrapping her gifts with all her cousins...:-P

It was too rush to order a cartoon cake for Eeanne, thus mommy just get Eeanne's favourite fruity garden from Cake Sense without the cartoon character....luckily it was just nice to serve all the guests....:-)

Our family...bobo kong kong purposely made a trip up for this party...big thank you for bobo kong kong!! This year we had Joshua (1st little boy from the left), Eeanne's foster brother to join this happy event, thanks yi bo for bringing Joshua here...

A pose before the birthday song....

We had 2nd celebration on 25th May in Eeanne's kindy. Mommy actually planned to have it on the actual date on 27th but it happened that day was the school teachers-parents day, so we had to make it 2 days earlier. Think this celebration was truly meaningful to Eeanne as this is the first time she had a group of school mates clapping for her, she was really smiling from her inner innocent heart...

Waiting for teachers to calm down the kids....

Eeanne's girl-mates and boy-mates.....

Eeanne was really excited...looking at the pictures, naming all her friends one by one...so where is your best friend?? (still Ashley?)

Teachers cut the cakes for all and mommy's mission accomplished and had to return to work....(mommy purposely took a half day leave to see Eeanne's this joyful moment)...

So what did we do on the actual date of 27th May??

Nothing special....we spent half the afternoon at home playing, then mommy brought Eeanne to Joshua's place for swimming and playing again....

For Eeanne, everyday is a birthday...:-)

With Eeanne, everyday is a gift...:-)

A Gift For Daddy & Mommy

A gift from Eeanne is the most precious and priceless present that Daddy and Mommy longed for all these years. What can be more valuable than a own hand made gifts by Eeanne?

This year, both mommy and daddy have 2 gifts each from Eeanne for the Mother's and Father's Day. One made from her kindy and one from her dhamma class..:-)

Gifts made in kindy:

A cute tiny neck tie for daddy.....daddy is going to wear it to work....hehehe

A flower photo frame for mommy which mommy supposed to put a family picture here but still delaying...;-/

Gifts made from dhamma class:

A Panda deco for daddy, cute right....like that Kungfu Panda..:-)

A Mother's Day card for mommy.....although the wording and writing are not done by Eeanne, the signature and stickers have say the million words..;=))
