16 mths 10days

Had a playdate at my house today with 2 other toddlers. Giselle had fun playing with them. i myself also learnt from other mummies how they teach their kid at home. Don't know why Giselle has been getting cranky during the evening whenever we brought her out...

Busy Buddies Class, 16mth 7days

Giselle was quite clingy to me during the initial 15 mins of the class. Luckily she started to warm up when the teachers played with her.

Throughout the class, she couldn't sit still. During the water colour play, as usual, she refused to participate in the stamping on colours on paper. The theme for today was '' star''. Hence the kids were asked to stamp colours using star fruit. I think mainly she didn't like to get dirtied.

During snack time, she refused to eat the food on her plate and kept wanting to get out of her chair and run about. However, during the last part of the class, she enjoyed the swing very much and began to mingle with other parents as well. Teacher Su-Lin said she is very friendly and sociable. And it is normal for Giselle to be fearful of the water colours but once they cross the hurdle, they would love it.

Today she kept calling ''ma ma'' non stop again :)

16 mths 4 days

Giselle finally made another advancement in her motor skills, that is, to climb on the dining chair and take the things on the dinner table.

Brought her out for dinner and Adrian carried her. She kept calling ''ma ma, ma ma''.

Mummy Changed her Hairstyle

AGE: 16 MONTHS 2 DAYS

Taught her to say "rice" today and she pronounced it as "race". I changed my hairstyle ( to short crop) to day and thought she may not recognise me. When I reached home, she just smiled at me, then came over to hug me telling me she can still recognise me and still love me all the same.

She fell from the blue Playskool walker and hit her left face, as usual, a stick of Pocky will do the trick. Cookie is the 1st word that she knows how to pronouced 2 sylibus.

Brought her to Vivocity an she was really cranky as she didn't have enough sleep. She was screaming and heads were all turn to me as usual,

Once reached home, after her usual milk, she slept within 5 mins on her bed.

Hit Herself 2 times in A Day

Giselle hit herself 3 times today:

1) While crawling over dad and hit her face the wall

2) Bang her hand against the glass door at Mt Fabar Safra Japanese Restaurant.

Adrian and I felt really heartpain. Today she naturally said "Cookie" when I asked her what's my hand holding (pocky). She had also said "Mug" when i was holding her milk in my hands. Though she did not pronounce it actually but can see she has made a great advancement in speech.

Guess she is of different stage where her speech is acelerating. She has also started to call me "mama" when she sees me now.

BusyBuddies Classes

Find Giselle is more sociable after her bzbuddies class. Been thinking if I should let her join. She likes to wave to babies now when she sees them on the street. Adrian and I are so proud of our little girl.

BusyBuddies Trial Class

Her trial class for Busybuddies started today. I was surprised that Giselle was actually quite sociable. She did not stick to me during the class at all. In fact, she loves to mingle with other caucasion kids.

During the water colour play, teacher Su-Lin asked all kids to wet their hands with colours and stained on the papers. I striped Giselle down to her diapers to prevent being dirtied. Giselle was frustrated by the colours on her hands. Teacher tried to calm her down by assuring her that it was ok.

When she discovered there was a sink with tap nearby, she kept going to the sink during the song session at the rainbow mat. I enjoyed attending the lesson with her though it was very tiring that I have to swing her, catch her back to the group when she wandered off.
