reality sets in

reality sets in today. yu xi realise she has to go school daily. she crys when i drop her off and say don't want school. she holds my hand and walked towards the class together. she started crying again once the classroom door open. 

too bad, my girl. you have to go school no matter what. you can’t get away from this. :P

2nd day of school

yu xi 2nd day in school. she didn't resist when we reach, i told her to kiss me goodbye and she did. also told her to take school bus with gor gor later and mommy wait for her at home.

turn and told yu ze to bring mei mei take school bus with him and mommy wait for them at home. yu ze super teh bao and started crying, he always resist school during school holiday or when i send him to school. i told him to stop and i don’t like to see him cry.

hopefully, yu xi can settle down well. she is going to be there for the whole day. 

 

as promised i waited for them at the bus stop, i asked the school bus auntie if she cried. thank god, she didn’t if not the whole bus will be filled with her loud cries.

school starts today....

yu xi went into class with yu ze today. we sent yu ze to school before I go to work. she saw gor gor went in and she follow suit. I told her to come out and we are leaving, she still stay inside and didn’t come out. we pretend to walk off and waited outside for 10 minutes and still no sign of her. 

 

a teacher walked out of the class and we asked her how? she suggest to leave her there and monitor. I told her ok, I will go back and pack her stuff and come back. we went back and packed her stuff. the teacher called when we were on our way back to school. she said yu xi is crying for us. we expect to hear loud crys from yu xi when we arrived at school. however, its pretty peaceful and quiet. 

 

the same teacher happen to walk out of the class again. she walked towards us and I ask her how is yu xi. she said yu xi is fine. cry on and off, stop when there is music and cry when she suddenly remember. we left her things with the teacher and told her, will come back to fetch her later. we decides to let her stay for half a day, since yu ze is with her she should be fine. 

 

darling fetch her at around 11am. teacher told us to pack some snacks for her in future. this girl went round ‘stealing’ others snack. hahahah…. so paiseh. anyway, she is officially in school since she chose today to be the day. 

no more tu tu

this is the day. 

yesterday night, i realise yu ze's tu tu is spoilt. got 2 big holes from his biting but this pacifier is less than 1 month old. so i showed him and told him to throw in the dustbin cos spoilt liao. he ask for another one, i told him no more tu tu. he refuse to throw and went to bed with that spoilt tu tu.

this morning, he wakes up and came to me and say this:

yu ze: don't want tu tu. tu tu 坏了
me: then tu tu throw dustbin. (so i carry him and walk towards the dustbin)

upon reaching the dustbin, he just throw it in but he missed it and tu tu drop outside the dustbin. 

yu ze: orh oh. tu tu drop. (i put him down and he pick it and throw inside the dustbin)
yu ze: tu tu throw dustbin 

i was quite shocked with his action cos he just throw it away without asking for another one which he did last night. then we went off to watch disney on ice after changing and packing our bag. 

when we reach home after the show, the mini drama starts.

yu ze: tu tu, where? (repeat mode)
me: tu tu in the dustbin. you throw it in the dustbin, remember? 

can tell from his face that he wants to cry liao but dare not cry. after a while, he forget or give up. then before nap, he ask for it again. hubby told him tu tu in dustbin and he just whine and fall asleep. he wake up from nap and ask for it again. the above conversation got repeated twice and ended. 

i thought i will be hearing the repeat mode of 'tu tu, where?' for the rest of the day. to my surprise, it didn't. it just stop. it didn't even get surfaced at bedtime. never expect self wean is so fast. yeah!!!

brother's love

whenever we are out and yu xi cries in the car. i will ignore her.

 

yu ze: mei mei cry, mei mei neng neng (milk)

me: yu ze, mei mei don't want neng neng

 

yu xi continues to cry. 

 

yu ze: mei mei, tu tu. 

 

i have no choice but to pass yu xi her tutu and she stops. little thing that yu ze do to show his love for mei mei.

flash cards

yu ze caught me by surprise with his recognising skills today. as usual, fil came over to see his grandchildren. suddenly, darling bring out a stack of baby einstein flash cards bought by sil. these flash cards had been sitting on the rack of yu ze's bookshelves for the longest time. once in a while, yu ze will take them out to 'throw'. darling show yu ze the cards and he is able to recognise the animals on it and name them loh. he really caught me by surprise cos i never knew he can do that.

i think darling had put in effort in teaching yu ze all that. every night when he put yu ze to bed, they will either be 'reading' (flipping) story book or naming things. naming things by pointing at it and tell yu ze what they are. sometimes, yu ze will repeat with him. more common ones, yu ze will name them like car, call, truck, etc.

well done my baobei. hopefully, you can recognise more of the other things from other stacks of flash cards soon.

clear liao

i went back for review for my hfmd and finally got clearance from gp liao. i'm certify fit to go back to work tomorrow. yeah!!! after getting my clearance letter, i went home and make appointment to go for my long awaited facial.

thought i can spend the day shopping but no leh. no time for shopping at all. my appointment for facial is at 11am. after my 2 hours of facial, i went to posb to get my replacement atm card, had lunch at mos burger. then to toa payoh to post things and also had my eye check and bought contact lens. that is all i manage to do and had to go home to cook and wait for yu ze to come home.
