Carnival time at daycare

To our surprise, Elle was willing to sit still during the face painting and she picked a rainbow. The bubblegum flavor cotton candy was delicious!

Dear Elle,

We have been complaining about your whininess almost every day. One day, you sat in your carseat, perfectly well-behaved, asking "Mama, am I whiny?". Before mama could answer you, you said "No, I'm not whining, mama. I'm a good girl."

These days, you love taking shower with mama together. To quote your saying, "Comeon! It's going to be fun!". After shower, you would make hand prints and write numbers and letters on the foggy mirror. You even discovered the fun of writing with your finger on the dusty TV screen.

That day after you finished eating the popsicle, you told mama you didn't want the popsicle anymore. As I was wondering why you said so, you continued saying, "Now I want ice cream.".

Before we leave for daycare, you always request, "I want to watch cartoon two more minutes before going to school".

You couldn't bear with the messiness at all. We heard you complaining "It's all MESSY!" every single day.

Mischievous you stack all the pillows on dada and pointed at him saying, "You're a cheeseburger!".

You said, "I cannot jump into the TV to help him" when watching someone was in trouble in a movie.

One day while I was closing my eyes and resting on the bed, you came in sitting next to me and started singing, "I want a lollipop.. lollipop... please cut it in half for me.... lollipop." Then, you shook me and said, "Wake up mama! I told you I want a lollipop!".

You enjoy going over all the bites and boo boo you could find on your legs, arms and belly. When we ask you who did these, you'd tell us this one was a buggy bite, that one was spider did it, the other one was ants, and the red one was the dragon swung his tail and hit you.


You make my days when you snuggle into my arms, gently pat my back, caress my face with your fingers, and then give me a kiss on the cheek in the morning.

love,
mama

Easter Egg Hunt

What a gorgeous breezy sunny morning for easter egg hunting! However, our little one was tired and moody as she was yet to be recharged from the strenuous activity in daycare the day before.

Elle was so dissapointed when she found out there's no candies inside the eggs. It's hilarious to watch her acting out by throwing out the empty shells one by one to her back while murmuring angrily "NO CANDIES!!". Even the passers-by was cracked up by her act.

It turned out we needed to redeem the candies with the easter eggs we picked. Finally her smile was back the moment a bag of sweets dropped into her basket.

All the kids were sitting in one table at the breakfast place. Oh boy, they're having so much fun running around and checking out the fishes in the fish tank.
