20months 15 days


Today I need to work full day, so I put Giselle at Delcare for full day. Was quite worried about her so I wrote a full list of things for her teachers to watch out for.

She was fine in school today except she was very playful during dinner. The teacher had a hardtime feeding her today.

Don't know what happen to her today, she threw 3 very terrible tantrums after i picked her today. At funan shopping centre, funan carpark and our block downstairs.

Everybody at Funan was looking at us and her when she was crying and screaming away... I just do not know what she wanted. it took about a long 15 mins before you could quiet down at the foold court.

Then came the 2nd time at funan carpark when she want to play with staircase and we refused to let her play as it was time to go home. She screamed and cried in the car all the way home.

See Doctor - 20 months 14 days

Had brought her to see Dr Ngiam on 26 Mar 07 to make sure her cough is ok as she cough till she vomitted her food and milk on Sun and at school in Mon.

Dr Ngiam said she was down with mild bronchitis and the best treatment is to use nebulizer. But he and I were very sure Giselle will resist. So he suggested to do it the oral way. That is use antibiotics and cough mixture for her. He said it will take about 2 weeks to clear.

Giselle was terrifed as she stepped into the clinic. Dr Ngiam knew she was afraid. then over the whole of this week, i didn't work full day but just half day so that I could pick her up to rest at home.

Her teachers told me she kept looking at the door when it about time for me to come. Suppose to bring her back today in the afternoon. So I made her nap at Delcare while I accompany her in school

20 months 7 days

We let her attend Delcare on Mon when I was down with runny nose. But I brought her straight to see Dr Ngiam after school to make sure she is ok to recover on her own as she was coughing quite badly with lots of phlegm.

he said I can let her recover on her own but he gave some cough mixture since she having difficulty due to the cough.

Her fever has been up and down for a few days and nose have been very runny like tap water. Her fever usually will go highest in the middle of the night like 39.2 degreeC. And I have to wait up to sponge every now and then even though I am sick..

I was officially down with flu on Mon, Tue with high fever and bad bodyache. It's s stressful period for everyone. Giselle didn't attend school on Mon and Tue.

On Wed, i had to ask Jaime to come over to take care of her in the morning while I go to work. Initially Giselle said she don't want Jaime to be around. But soon after, Giselle likes her so much that she dance and played together.

Giselle resumed school today. Teacher said she didn't really cry much but was very tired and slept during her nap.

Today I went EYS to buy Hou Ning Powder to reduce her phlegm and cough. For the past 2 days, she can cough until she vomit.

After giving her the powder, can she some improvement quite a bit as she didn't cough at all during her nap

20 Months 2 days

She was down with flu again when I picked her yesterday. Slight fever and runny nose. But I didn't feed her any medication and wanted her to recover on her own. As she is still active, I only fed her with Sambucol.

She could speak alot of words today: "Daddy clothes'', "Daddy wocks (socks)", she could count 1-5 without difficulty.

Though she is sick, she is still very active and playful. Her eyes are quite runny and reddish today, mostly likely due to runny nose, so I let her rest as much as possible.

We went to Vivo city today and she saw someone giving out balloons. We got one for her but she refused to hold it until some time later. This morning we also brought her to downstairs to play ball with her. She was so happy running and chasing after her beach ball. Though she is sick, I managed to fed her dinner though she refused to take her lunch.

Exactly 20 months

She is exactly 20months today! When she said ''Bye-bye'' to me at school in the morning, she did not cry at all. Teacher said she was quite good today in school. She finished all her meals, appetite quite good. Teacher said she could adapt to brown rice very fast and sometimes even want double servings. I am so happy to hear that :)

One things is she doesn't really like to take afternoon snacks. She did not cry when she see me coming to pick her today. Joshua is her good friend and she even gave him a kiss when it's time for her to go home.

On the way home, she was making lotsa of noise, screaming to get what she wanted. Really very naughty.

Ms Trixh last day... 19months 26 days

Giselle has been getting out of hand recently. She throws things around, scratches me, pull my hair when she is angry at me. i really had a hard time tidying up the house.
Today is also Ms Trixh last day at the school. She will be joining her hubby in Canada for 2 years. She said she will miss Giselle very much.

Giselle said bye to everyone in the class and the boys in the class gave Giselle a kiss each.... really very sweet of them.

Yesterday she saw a few boys playing soccer downstairs and she could tell me ''Play ball, kick! Kick!''.

Then today she surprised me by saying ''bye bye'' very accurately. Nowadays, she like to mimic the last sound we says. When we says ''Money'', she will say ''ney''

Bus Journey, 19 months 20days

Ms Priya was feeding Giselle with water when I went to pick her. Teacher said Giselle just bit the straw and refuse to suck water. So they have to open her bottle cover and ask her to drink directly.

Initially Giselle cried when she saw me but Ms Priya asked her to give me a happy face. We took a bus home after that and the bus driver seems to like Giselle very much as she waved and gave him a friend kiss to say goodbye.

Earthquake!!!

I was pleasantly surprised that Giselle was able to recite 1,2,3,4,5 though it wasn't very clear.

Teacher told me she is a fast learner, better than her classmates. But I must say she is also very naughty. When Mr Trixh was feeding her, she purposely put her leg on the chair.

This afternoon there's a earthquake in Indonesia and I can feel it at Shenton Way. Luckily nothing was felt in Delcare but the kids in Delcare wasn't given her bath just in case all the kids needs to be evacuated.

ANGRY!!! 19 months 16 days

I rushed home to take in the laundry when it was raining after Giselle bzbuddies class. Just at the same time, Giselle woke up crying and pestering me to carry her. But I just ignore her totally as I was very busying taking in the clothes.
Adrian then came home and carried her. Though she was very unhappy about me, she still lie on Adrian's shoulder and quieten down.

When I came into the room, I also didn't carry her as I want her to fall asleep on the bed. Then she began to throw her stuff toys and pillows. Then I also got angry and threw her stuff toys far away. She got angry and began to throw temper. Adrian then went out. Then I began to talk to her and hugged her. Finally she changed to happy mood and smiled.

Actually I didn't know she wanted my attention until Adrian told me so. I am really very surprised that at such young age, she can be so angry when I ignored her.

Punished.... 19 months 15 days

I brought Giselle to Delcare for the afternoon session. She cried when i told her that I needed to leave for work.

When i went to pick her after work, teacher told me she refused to take her afternoon nap and only slept from 3-4pm. As the afternoon snack weren't to her liking, she refused to eat them also.

When she threw tantrums, teacher would put her into the playpen and her temper actually became worse. She kicked and jumped in the playpen. Teacher told her that she could only come down if she stop all these actions.

Giselle also became jealous when Wang Lao Shi carried other kids in the music room.
