Share share

Incident 1
----------------
The other day daddy brought back a new ipad. Kor kor and I were fighting for it. I kept telling kor kor "share share" and asked kor kor to share it with me.

Incident 2
---------------
Daddy brought out a box of blocks. Kor kor and I were playing with it. I was stacking the blocks and kor kor was building something. After I was bored with my stacking, I went and disturbed and destroyed kor kor's building. Kor kor was angry and didn't want to play with me.

He then went to bring out a doll and play with the baby stroller. I dashed to him and fight for the stroller too. It was kor kor's doll that sat in the baby stroller and mommy immediately went upstairs to bring down my doll, so that I won't fight with kor kor.

But I still refuse to give kor kor's doll back to him. I took my doll and passed to kor kor and told kor kor "Share share"...I wanted kor kor to share his doll with me and I can share mine with him.

When kor kor finally accepted my doll and started hugging it, I went to him and wanted my doll back again. I threw his doll back to him and insisted my doll back.

So I was like kept wanting what kor kor has and mommy kept pursuading kor kor to give me what I want and take the other..kor kor was so kind...

Notes from mommy:
------------------
This girl, if she wants something and kor kor is having it, she will tell kor kor "share share", so that she can play with it.

But when she is playing something and kor kor wants it, she will not share it with kor kor and will throw tantrums, so that she can have it.

I am trying not to let her be so dominent and bully kor kor all the time. She is definitely a big bully to kor kor.

Pronouce 2 syllabus words..

Mommy said my speech has improved A LOT this 2 months. I have started saying 2 syllabus words quite frequent nowadays. Some of the words I say are..

- mommy (loud and clear and sweet too), aunty, uncle, take out, hoorey, ipad, arlo (hello), grandpa, grandma, barney, oren(orange), bobble (bubbles), baby, balloon, dirty...

Overall, I love imitating. Hence, I learn very fast. I can imitate whatever sound/word mommy said in a clear pronounciation. Mommy is proud of my speech development..

Structured Play

Everyday, I will spend about 30mins to an hour in mommy's room for structured play. Mommy keep a few educational toys in her room and I only get to play that together with mommy during that time. It was a perfect setup as I really enjoy it only once or twice a day. I will play it properly and finished it before moving on to the next one. I love the puzzles most and I have 2 set of puzzles there.

Here are some of the toys that I played in mommy's room.


When comes to playing with Mr.Potato, I always like to put the spectacles or hat on my own head instead. Look at me...nice???

My 2nd trip to Singapore

This is my 2nd trip to Singapore. It is a short 3D2N business trip for daddy. We tagged along since mommy needed to help daddy on certain things in Singapore.

Mommy was worried about me earlier on and hesisted to go but after thinking much, she decided to bring us there. To her surprise, I behaved extremely well and being super happy throughout the trip. I have no problem stepping in to my grandparents place, lau yi house (I was happy and smiling to see the big fishes in the pond) and my yi yi Janice house. I slept well during my 2 nights in Singapore too. But I hit my forehead on the first night there. I woke up crying and tried to stand but I fell and hit on the bean at the glass window next to me. Mommy thought I just hit at the glass window and next when she woke up, she saw a line straight in the middle of my forehead, with some blue black around it. She insepcted the window and realised that I must have hit at the metal beam at the window. Poor me... I was crying hard when I hit but mommy never suspected anything during that time..

Anyway, I was having a good time running around yi yi Janice house. Everyone was so "kan cheong" when they saw me running around. Daddy especially panic when saw me running around coz the place is small and have many edges. They closed the balcony door most of the time too.

I also enjoyed running at the office daddy brought us too. I was so happy running, jumping and exploring the corridor there until mommy was exhausted running after me.

I had some good time at the shopping centre too, playing at the play area im Paragon. I was behaving well during most meal where mommy gave me lot of junk to eat. She brought so many titbits for me in one of the shops in Paragon, named Vitakids. Mommy also bought me new bottles since my Pigeon bottle wasn't too good. I think mommy spent the most on me on this trip.

One thing is I don't like night travelling. We left Singapore in the evening and I didn't like to sleep in the dark in the car. I was crying and kept saying "I scared..I scared.." It took me a while to fall asleep and daddy made so many stops for me..to clean my poo, to change me...finally I slept all the way back after so much struggle.

But so far, mommy claimed that I was a good girl overall and she is not afraid of bringing me to places now...Horrey..I like going out too...and please bring me out..

Let's see the loots mommy brought for me in Singapore..

Kor kor and me were waiting for daddy at the office reception area..

Lots of tit bits mommy brought for me..all organic stuff..

Kurus girl hate milk

Yes..you hear me right.. I don't want to drink milk. I started rejecting milk since I started falling sick. Though I didn't really like milk all the while or I should say it is not easy to make me drink milk but as long I got things to play, I can still drink it.

But during the days I was sick, mommy has been feeding me milk day and night and I get sick of it. Also, few days before that, mommy gave me a new milk (Mamil Gold) to try and I never like it at all. Not to waste the packet of milk, mommy tried to get me finish it.

So now, I can never finish a bottle of milk, even if it is just 100ml. Not only that, it is extremely hard for me to drink milk. Not any toys can get me to drink milk. It must be something I like or interesting. Even during midnight, I still wake up but definitely not for milk. Don't give me milk coz I can waste the whole bottle of milk. So, mommy only let me drink water if I want. If not, she just let me cry lor...

So, i have another nickname now...kurus girl..since I fell sick, I have lost some weight...before that , I was weight 10kg++ but not I am only 9.3kg. Mommy said I am so light already. When bathed me, can see my bones also. Lau yi asked, how come I am not chubby chubby one?? Sigh.I am a girl ma..I am taking care of my weight..so mommy, don't force me milk anymore, ok?

Poor girl, you get infected by us...

updated by mommy @ 1 year 6 months 2 weeks and 6 days old..

Kor kor started the cycle. Down since last Wednesday. Then kakak's turn on Friday but luckily recovered by Saturday. Followed by mommy on Saturday and have yet to recover. Yesterday it was your turn. So sorry, baby..mommy already tried very hard to quarantine ourselves and prevent the spreading of the virus but it seems like the virus is too strong.

You started having mild fever late evening. Then you complained stomach ache. We suspected daddy gave you too much coconut water to drink, with the good intention to cool down the body temperature. Immediately at 8pm, daddy sent you to Dr. Cheah in USJ. You came back with mild fever and some redness at the throat but stomach was fine. We need to monitor your fever.

Since mommy was having fever and coughing whole day. Daddy have to take care of you. You slept well from 11pm to 6am. By 6am, your cry woke daddy up and found out that your fever shot up to 39.5 and you were shivering. Daddy got a shock. Immedaitely he gave you a suppository and sponged you the whole morning. Your fever did not seems to go down from 6am till 1pm. Kakak and daddy have to take turn to sponge you to reduce the temperature. Once they stopped sponging, the temp went up again. Daddy fed you another round oral PCM at 11am but still no sign of effect.

Mommy was worried. Mommy called Dr. Low, Dr Cheah for advise. Nothing much we can do except we keep sponging you. Dr. Low advise voren suppository but Dr Cheah against it. Daddy bought Kool fever and applied on your forehead. By 1.30pm, your fever seems to subside. We all relieved. But by 3.30pm, your fever came back again. We need to sponge you again...it goes on and on...

Mommy can't do anything, except watching you from far. Mommy is sneezing and coughing and still running a fever. Mommy cannot take care of you. Seeing you lazing at downstairs without energy, mommy's heartache. Mommy hope mommy can take away your sickness..mommy hope mommy can suffer from you.

Mommy feel very bad for not being available to you when you most needed mommy. Mommy kept hearing your cries and whinning from upstairs but mommy can't do anything. The minute touches you, you started whining, wanting to complain, I know. Daddy and kakak advised mommy not to go near, so I will make you feel sad. I know you are sad for not able to see mommy.

My baby Isabel, please recover soon..be strong and let us fight the virus together. I'm sure you can do it...mommy loves you...
