Mommy burst out...

Mommy was so regret when recalling back the way mommy punished Eeanne.

All started on Wed(170609) morning, early in the morning when Eeanne woke up, she started to cry for no reason, she has been acting like this recently(crying early in the morning, screaming our of a sudden in the middle of her sleep, yelling whenever her pacifier dropped off). Maybe all these had made a bad start day for mommy. That morning, Eeanne was extremely stubborn, when mommy asked for brushing teeth, she curled up her lips and said "no", then throwing her tantrum by lying on the washroom floor....

Usually whenever mommy starts counting 1...2....Eeanne will say "no" and immediately obey. But today, she totally ignored what mommy said, mommy even lost the temper and yelled at Eeanne. Eeanne just ignored and murmuring by herself while lying on the floor.

At the end, mommy just stepped out from the washroom and closed door leaving Eeanne inside the washroom!! First mommy thought by doing this Eeanne will immediately stand up and call for the door to be opened. Surprisely now mommy realised how STUBBORN Eeanne is, she just pretended nothing happen, kept lying on the washroom floor, talked grumpily (that is what she normally acts when she was reprimanded). Eeanne was not even get frightened by this threat. It took really 5-10 minutes before Eeanne really started to cry, stood up and banged on the door....

When mommy opened the door, Eeanne's face was full of tears but still talked grumpily. Obviously she is really stubborn to ignore her fault. Finally mommy had to knelt down and hugged Eeanne to soothe her, then only Eeanne was willing to say "sorry mommy...."

After this incident, mommy felt so bad and guilty. Mommy shouldn't have use this threat to scared Eeanne, hopefully this will not create the negative post event syndrom to her tiny little innocent heart.

Who to be the first.....?

Eeanne has develop her own temper by now which sometimes can be really unkind, rude and unrefined. Eeanne will show her grumpy face when get scolded by mommy and sometimes trying to fight back by beating or slapping mommy!! Eeanne can be really stubborn if she wanted, no matter how stern mommy instructed, she will stay firm on her own way. The more we tried to prevent her from getting/touching/playing something in danger, the more she purposely attempt to do it.

Finally daddy can’t hold it anymore...daddy bought a cane, a special gift reserve for Eeanne. It has been a month daddy bought the cane but until now no one yet would like to be the first honoured. Finally mommy decided to leave the cane at mama’s house and let mama to be the first person to use it on Eeanne if necessary(hopefully there will be no chance la...)

Luckily Eeanne has been behaving well so far and still under vocal control. Eeanne seems to know that this cane is something meant for her which is not so good to try on. Whenever she misbehaved, mommy or mama would bring out the cane acting like caning her if she insist to be stubborn, and surprisingly it worked! It managed to tame her.

Now Eeanne would immediately say “sorry” whenever she knew that she had made mommy angry. Mommy’s heart would get soften whenever Eeanne said “sorry mommy....” Great that now Eeanne is good is recognising mommy’s facial expression with a raised voice, she would quickly behaved herself and did a funny face then trying to tease by saying “mommy ar.......” Ohh... my girl...

Mommy really hopes that Eeanne will never get the chance to taste the power of this weapon. If she did, then who will be the unlucky one :P

Table Manner

Talk about table manner, this had once made mommy crazy and mad in teaching Eeanne proper table manner.

Finally, Eeanne can be very cooperative now to sit together with mommy at the dining table to have our breakfast. Eeanne has good motor coordination skill now in holding her folk and spoon, though sometimes it did mess up the rug under the dining table. Eeanne would insist to serve by her own instead of mommy to feed her.

Normally Eeanne will stay cooperative for the most ½ hours when we dined at the restaurant. There was once Eeanne throwing her temple half way dining in one of the restaurant in Sunway. She screamed and throwing tantrum out of sudden just because daddy didn’t allow her to “play” with her food. The whole restaurant guests were staring at us and it was really embarrassing. Daddy even had to carry Eeanne out from the shop so that her yelling won’t disturb the restaurant’s peaceful ambience.

But during the last weekend in M’cca, we had dinner at Portugese Settlement, it was really crowed and we had been waited for more than 1 ½ hours!! Surprisingly Eeanne was so good sitting at her baby chair without being impatience (of course all of our plates had to put in front of her to keep her occupied) . When food was served, she just too busy “eating” by her own...wah...what an enjoyable dinner with Eeanne even though we had to wait >1hour to get served!

Eeanne and Daddy Muzicgarden experience (mommy 'on leave')

Today Eeanne going to muzicgarden with daddy and granma as 'back-up'.
Eeanne did not enjoy her muzicgarden today as I supposed she felt a bit unhappy as her mommy was not with her this weekend (Her mommy, my wife :) taking her break which I think she deserves most..... long awaited trip.

It is not until today that I realized it is certainly not an easy task to take care my princess (our princess) as she has her own tantrum and demeanors. She will for no reasons hit you on the face, which had made me mad about her for a moment, however with my anger and disapproval expressed correctly to her, Eeanne learnt that it was wrong to do so of course with her sobby and grumpy face to come with.

Again i must admit all this while, Eeanne’s mommy has done a wonderful job on every weekends to take care of her (which today I have the taste of it). However I do enjoy it although at times Eeanne does get into my nerves.

This 2 days has indeed make the father and daughter relationships bonded deeper and stronger.

The attachment has move another notch up and I missed our weekends together.

2 y.o. Birthday Party

Daddy mommy had made Eeanne birthday party earlier on 23rd May (instead of the actual date on 27th May). It was only a small feast for cousin, mama & yeye. So sad that bo bo and kong kong couldn't make it but bo bo has prepared a birthday present for Eeanne, we will be back to M'cca next week to see bo bo's surprise gift.

Eeanne knows well that this party is arranged for her. Now instead of saying 1y.o., she will reply "2 years old" whenever we asked "how old are you?". Eeanne was so excited seeing her 3 favourite cousins.

There were not many gifts for Eeanne, only those from mama, mommy, daddy and sum sum. Eeanne likes the most on daddy's Mega Blocks. We brought Eeanne to choose her gift that morning, she only put her eyes on the Blocks, carrying all the way in Jusco and had no interest on anything else that we offered.

Mommy gets Eeanne a education book with magnet word named "My First 100 words", daddy says it is too deep for Eeanne, haha...mommy is so "kia su", thinking this is the time for Eeanne to learn by words instead of by pictures. So turn up mommy has extra duty every night before going to bed to go through with Eeanne on the "words", it is really fun and creative, and Eeanne likes it too.

Sum Sum has a Snoopy bag and Barney stationery for Eeanne, she is crazy on the Barney sticker!

Mommy became the games organiser, planning the kids games for all of them but managed to played only 2 games. Wah...it is not easy to handle kids games especially that they are so not organised and don't listen to instruction, they simply played at their own ways :(

They likes the bowling games...ha..mommy is so creative to use the CNY fire cracker deco as the cones and the kids enjoyed it. Mommy made the paper animals to play the mini zoo and kids learn the animals names pretty fast via this games. Eeanne learns her new animals on peacock and penguin.

Eeanne...i'm sure you had a wonderful and tiring night as you fell into sleep unusually fast.

It is for you Eeanne that mommy had come out her first home made choc cookies (first time in mommy's life), mommy was so happy that everyone likes the cookies (really big thanks to Leona's recipe). Eeanne loves mommy's cookies too...mommy will make more for you in future ar....

Preparation on the night before, it took 3 1/2 hours finishing at 1.30a.m.

Before & After cooked

Eeanne likes mommy's cookies...hooray!!

Musizgarten...

Eeanne went for a trial class at musizgarten last Saturday. All this while mommy daddy always thought that Eeanne will enjoy this music class & will be very happy mingle around with new friends. Until the last Saturday trial class, Eeanne was abnormally agitated and didn't want to follow teacher's instruction.

When the class started, Eeanne suddenly screamed "Don't want, go home go home". Daddy mommy were very surprised and we believed that Eeanne must be so naive & didn't know how to response to the crowd as she has been playing alone most of the time. This really made mommy & daddy worry.

Eeanne likes to sing and dance at home, she can sing most of the rhymes and even few Beattles songs from the mama mia movie (of course not in full la...filling in the sentence here and there, but all are in rhythmic). She can really sings to entertain herself!

When the teacher sang, Eeanne asked everyone to stop and she started to mesmerised in her own song of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"...oh...it was really really embrassing and mommy quickly hugged Eeanne, put the index finger on the lips, giving signal to Eeanne to lower down her voice...my dear.......Eeanne really thought it was at home where normally mommy daddy will listen solely to her.

So mommy daddy decided that we shouldn't put so high expectation on Eeanne, she needs time to adapt to the children crowd and learn to be more discipline. We enrolled her to this music class and hope for better change.

Yesterday, after a few reminders and rehearsals at home on what teacher had taught last week, finally Eeanne enjoyed her music class. She was more responsive and obedience to teacher's commands. We made the sound "dong...dong..." of the bells and Eeanne sang it along loudly and follow each every movements.

Eeanne enjoyed the most on dancing(with the right & left legs raised in rhythm) and the instrument play. Everyone took turn in pairs to stand forward to play the ??(something looks like the xylophone), Eeanne couldn't wait for her turn and stood up immediately when she saw the toddlers next to her stood up. When this instrument play had over, Eeanne still wanted to continue, standing & pointing to the front and called "want to sit there!"(fainted)

Mommy & daddy are so delighted to see Eeanne's joyful participation.

The class dismissed in 1/2 hours time with a warm hug from the kids to the teacher and in turn the teacher gave each toddler a "smiling face" stamp on the hand. Parents were then shared this "smiling face" with their child by touching each other hands to copy it before the ink goes dry.

Eeanne went back with the smiling face on hand while daddy mommy went back with a smiling HEART!! :-))

Going to be 2 y.o.!!!

Another one month more will be Eeanne 2yo birthday!! Time really flies! Everytime mommy look at Eeanne, mommy will say to her"you were just a baby, remember?" and Eeanne will answer "remember", haha

Eeanne is really really talkative now, she will micmick ALL the adult's conversation and mommy and daddy are very careful on what we talk.

Eeanne really talks like a adults do, one day, after her drawing for about only 10min, suddenly she curled up her lips and said "mommy, Eeanne very tired, want to sleep". It really made a good laugh for mommy.

Mommy just bought 3 Barney 40pc puzzle for Eeanne (maybe a bit hard for her age now). Eeanne able to complete her 9pc and 16pc Barney puzzle without any assistance. Mommy feels a bit amazed on her skill, not sure whether she is really on track for her skill development. Eeanne really crazy about playing puzzle.

Eeanne spends most of her time in mama's place during weekdays, one weekend, after bathing Eeanne, mommy opened the wardrobe, oh no...all the dresses are too short for Eeanne now, without mommy realise, Eeanne is growing taller now and all these dresses no more fit her well...oh..it is time to fill up Eeanne's wardrobe!

Now every morning on the way to mama's place, Eeanne will enjoy looking and calling on all the words & buildings that she knows such as "hospital", "supermarket Giant", "supermarket Tesco", the signage of "Canon" and "Olympus" along the LDP, but she always call Jusco as Tesco too:-). Whenever she is interested in something that she doesn't know, she will ask "what is this, mommy?" or "what is that, mommy?". Now she always keep asking "what" and "why"

Eeanne likes very much to watch the princess story DVD which she was not keen to during she was about 1 y.o (during that time she only liked Barney)

Whenever mommy says..."Eeanne is mommy's.......", immediately Eeanne will respond "Darling"...so sweet.....

It is time to get some new story books for Eeanne too, she has read all the books mommy bought and very familiar with all the stories, Eeanne can even tell yeye story in sentence now(no more filling in the words), sometimes halfway telling the story, suddenly she will convert from English to her own baby language which nobody understand, but her gestures really makes everyone laugh....

Mmm...mommy can't think of anything bad about Eeanne...
Yeah...maybe these are the list of "bad habits" of Eeanne..
- Eeanne likes to say "beat kakak" whenever we pass through the toll, all this started when she likes to beat the maid kakak and mommy always block her from doing so. Maybe now she is diverting her focus to the toll kakak. No matter how many times mommy told Eeanne that she shouldn't say so, she still keeps doing it and sometimes it was so loud and embarrassing...

- Eeanne still doesn't want to sit on her car seat, so mommy can never had the chance to bring her out alone since the last trip during Eeanne's 13mths old. She always like to stand in the middle back seat and doesn't even want kakak to hold her which is really dangerous...

- Eeanne can really throw her temper (even though is very rare) whenever mommy purposely teased her to stay at mama's place while mommy goes home alone. This really trigger her "BAD" temper where she will shout, scream while running in circle and doing something bad to hurt herself like using her hands to sweep the floor, biting her hand or the table. Haha...mommy is really bad, mommy shouldn't do this anymore just for fun to make Eeanne angry.
