…..and now …. I ended year 2007 with this….

I never regret this… to have both of you my lil princesses…Zoey and Chloe

Happy Birthday to you,

happy birthday to you

happy birthday to daddy,

happy birthday to you…

Daddy, Both of us and mommy want to wish you happy happy birthday…. This is the first daddy birthday for Chloe and my third time with daddy. Mommy told me that she have plan for you and she already brought a present for you since one week ago. Yesterday, both of you argued and mommy slept with tears yesterday.

Mommy always told me you’re busy but…. you need to spent more time with mommy as both of us are not easy to take care. We make mommy run here run there and sometimes we make mommy run up the wall. She does not like to beat us and normally she will reason out with us….

Daddy, mommy sayang you very much….. and happy birthday to you!!!

This was the first year where Zoey did’nt have a chance to see santa. As a annual thing, we will took her to Mid Valley to take photo with “uncle santa” – this is how Zoey refer to Santa Claus. She will referred my boss as uncle boss, auntie boss etc…. We have took her to mid valley last 2 weeks with Chloe along and as you know, bringing along Chloe could be a challenge with so many people – the place was so crowded with people trying to take photo with all the decoration there. I did’nt take my camera along- forgotten, always remember Chloe’s diaper, milk powder, napkin and so on….

Yesterday, on christmas day, we brought the two girls to Berjaya Times Square, to see whether we have the chance to meet with uncle santa… No luck this year, didn’t manage to see uncle santa at all this year. Zoey have a great time there seeing the indoor theme park – the roller coaster and when we having mcdonalds she manage to see the roller coaster quite near from where we are sitting…

On Monday, my citibank’s reward poin present have reached my office but I have gone home that time. Will keep the present until Thursday before I bring the present home for Zoey to play. It is a multi Activities centre by playgo with alot of  “masak-masak” item. Will go to Parkson to buy more dough for her to play.

Zoey know how to differentiate colour now. When you asked her ” which ones is the blue colour” she will point to the blue ones and said out loud ” blueeeeeee”. When you said “pink” she point at ” pink” and said “pin”, But if you point to blue and asked her  ” what color is this ” she will said “blue” then, you point to “pink” and asked her, she will also said ” blueeee”…. Maybe she need time on this. I know she a bit slow comparing to other kids in other blog in terms of speech development, I know she is trying very hard and I do believed, every kids does have different development.

 Zoey too, have her advantage in body language. She is very good in body gesture to tell us what she want. Sometimes, it was amazing that I know what she want by just understanding her body language and sometimes hubby too wonder how we , myself and grandma, understand what she want eventhough she did not tell us… This is chemistry between mommy and daugther bonds and also for grandma, she took care of her from day one when she out from ICU after a months.

We went back to Klang yesterday for lunch… it was more like a gathering where all my SIL and BIL gathered around for ” winter Solctice ” festival. At first we thought it was a dinner gathering as mentioned by my BIL in Sban last week but last minute they changed the schedule without letting us know. I have cooked lunch already when they informed us and we was rushing to get everything done. We didnt’ Chloe with us for this trip… Too troublesome and grandma agreed to help to take care of her.

As for Zoey, she enjoyed very much playing with her cousins and willing to joined them for the game. She have alot of “sweet” from her cousins and she will run towards me and tell me that inside her mouth ( by pointing to her mouth ) and said ” sweet”. I let her have the sweet on occasion only like meeting with the cousins. I do not want her to feel left out where her cousins can have sweet and why she can’t . I tried to avoid to her sweet in the house.

We went back home around 500pm and we went back to grandma’s house to visit Chloe and to take the maid home. Chloe was sleeping when we reached and after a while she woke up with a smile when she saw me and heard my voice. I took her out from the swing and played with her awhile while waiting for hubby.

Later, around 630pm, we took Zoey to the swimming pool. She enjoyed very much playing inside the pool and after a few session of crying, she understood that she have to get out of the pool after playing. She slept around 800pm after taking cod liver oil… That’s how we spent our weekend….

I have took off on friday so that I can have a long weekend. At first I thought off going back to Raub- My paternal hometown as I have never been there after my grandma passed away in May. I though to go back there to pay my last respect as I was not allowed to go back as at that time, I still pregnant with Chloe.  However, I didnt make the trip as my auntie is coming down to KL on that day. We have dinner with her and her daughter plus her boyfriend.

It was the first time, she saw Chloe after 5 months Chloe was borned. She was so excited to sees Chloe and Chloe, on the other hand, have show her “angel” side that day. She play, laugh and smile non stop with my auntie. After a long time, I have the opportunity to talk to my relative, I realised all this while, I reluctant to go back to my hometown as I feel that I don’t think I can let go my last trip whereby my grandma was waiting for me to see her in the second hall of the house. If I go back, I will lost this experiment. Maybe I still does not believe that grandma have gone now and if can I want to always believed that grandma is with me….

Dearest Chloe,

this year was a very challenging year for mommy. When you’re in mommy tummy, mommy often not feeling well and mommy was order to bed rest when you’re only 28th week in mommy tummy. Mommy have to decide to work or not to work with the condition that I have. Later, uncle boss decide to give mommy some allowance and he allowed mommy to work from home. You’re borned prematurely at  34 weeks gestation period @ 2.02kg.

You’re so tiny and mommy feel very very sad to leave you in the ICU in the care of uncle doctor. Thank goodness you only spent 5 days in the hospital before you are allowed to be with mommy and daddy again.

Back home, you’re such a sweetie. She slept most of the time and did not disturb auntie whose is taking care of you that time. mommy still remembered everything seems changed on the day auntie went back home. you refused to sleep and want mommy to carried you around.

Later, mommy took you back to grandma and grandpa’s house. Both grandma and grandpa agreed to take care of you. you gave a hard time to both of them. you are an angel in the morning but at night, you started your project…. you does not want to sleep at all at night and will slept through in the morning. there was an incident where mommy did;nt sleep at all for 24 hours as mommy’s work in morning and take care of you at night.

However, when you reached 3 1/2 months, your schedule changed. You back to your sweeties character. You slept through the night. What a relieved for mommy and grandma!

Mommy want to tell you ( when you old enough to read this ) that mommy loves you very much although mommy have to endured alot in mommy’s pregnancy and early infant life of yours. Mommy never regret to have you as mommy’s princess and with you into our family middle of this year, mommy really feel that our family are complete now. and jie-jie too  loves you very much although sometimes she refused to share her toys with you. Gave sometimes to jie-jie to adjust this and she will share her toys with you again.

Mommy loves you very very much!!!!!

from, mommy

After a long time , since the chinese newyear this year, I have not make any trip back to Seremban- Hubby’s hometown. further, both my MIL  and FIL have been staying in Klang since the chinese new year. as now is the holiday season, hubby decided to go back to his hometown yesterday… 

We did’nt took Chloe with us for this trip. We feel she too young to take this journey and I do not think I prepared to take care both the girls in different environment. Further, my mom have agreed to help me to take care of Chloe, so I just agreed with it…

At first I though Zoey will be reluctant to play with her cousins ( almost all her cousins are around her age ). I still remembered that Zoey was reluctant to mixed around with her cousins and prefered to be alone. This trip was totally different. She start to warm up after 30 minutes and was playing with her cousins. As most of her cousins spoke Mandarin and Zoey’s was 100% english speaking, the situation was exactly like “Chicken and duck talk”. until later, where her cousins start to speak to her in English. She even refused to sleep although it was already missed her sleeping time and she’s tired. No choice, hubby have to drove around the garden with Zoey and myself so that she could fall asleep in the car….

It was good to see my little girl have grown not to “glued” to us and mixing around her playmate, I was a little bit sad that my girls have proceed to another stage where she can be independent and does not really need me to play with her…

Next week we will have “winter solitice “ dinner  in Klang with my PIL and all my inlaws. Will taking Zoey back home to Klang and she will have another chance to be with her cousins and hopefully she enjoy herself next week!!!!!

As the year end is approaching, it is now the time for me to recap what is the development of my little girl achieved in 2007.

Dear Zoey,

Being the only child of the family and getting upgraded to become jie-jie in the middle of this year, mommy knew you have to endured a lot of changes in your life.

Mommy feel very sad and self blamed as mommy didn’t spent enough time with you during the first half of this year. Mommy need to take care mei-mei who was still in mommy tummy and mommy feel sick almost everyday. Therefore, you have spent more time with kakak when you at home. You have to become more independent and mommy knew mommy have push you too much for you to become independent.

You started to have terrible 2 and always throw tantrum if mommy and daddy did’nt give in to your request. Mommy have to give you some lecture although sometime mommy realised you dont understand what mommy trying to tell you. You knew who you can demand thing from and mommy always be the last one to give in to you.

As Mei-mei borned, mommy and daddy realised that you loves her so much. You loves to kiss your mei-mei every morning and deep down in mommy heart, I loves you so much. You’re are always be mommy princess although mommy did scold you or beat you on your hand if you’re noughty. Mommy do so was for your own good.

Happy New Year 2008 to you little girl!!!!

From Mommy 

Luckily bith my girl like to take their bath,… Why I said so? I have a cousin sister who does not like to take her bath at all. All she do was crying for as long as we bathed her. The moment we finished her bath, she will stop crying.

  Zoey loves her bath so much that we finally decide to let her take her swim last weekend. She enjoyed it so much until she cried when we pull her out from the swimming pool. So sad to see her crying but what to do?

  As for Chloe she started know how to kick in the water and every bathing time, it was like a battle between myself and her as she loves to kick so much. Chloe off her mitten yesterday was delighted to find her fingers. First thing she do was to attack her fingers and she looked so cute with her finger in her mouth….
