21 months 13 days

Giselle speech had improved alot over the past week! She could say things like ''Good morning ", "thank you, Mummy'', ''Mummy please'' easily.

She had a fall during her Gym class during school on 26 Apr and her teacher called me to inform me of this. I went over to pick her earlier that day after her nap time at 4pm. She was very surprised to see me, thinking whether she is in dreamland or not.

Noticed recently she is very sticky to me and Adrian again and always want to be carried. had also noticed that whenever she refused to do the things i told her, she would do it when i said I am very angry and will dislike her if she doesn't do it. Wang lao shi also notices this.

Her diahrrea had recover but don't why she is down with slight fever since this afternoon...

Refuse to Eat her Dinner in school

Wang lao shi toldme she refused to eat her dinner these few days. It is very difficult to feed her and she will take a long time like 30mins to finish her food.

Teacher also told me Giselle will close her eyes if she is being scolded in school, like wanting to shut from the world. Haiz... really don't know where she learnt all these...

Btw, her poo has improved slightly though it is still yellowish.

Fly, Help!!!!

Giselle started to have rashes on her stomach and tummy area. Brought her to see GP and was told it was heat rash.

She is now very scared of fly/insect (like me, haha). Tonight, she saw a fly flying in the hall as she came out of the kitchen. She was stunned when she saw the fly. She just stood there, both hands holding to the plate of biscuits. She looked at her biscuits, looked at me and looked at the fly again. I told her the fly is harmless. But 1 min later, she cried for help as she was very scared.

She had diahrrea over the weekend and I am very worried if she felt sick. Luckily she was quite alright. I still send her to school. These days, she no longercry when I say bye to her. Very cool indeed....

Naughty in School!!

Giselle doesn't cry in school nowadays as she has gotten used to her school enviroment. In fact, she has felt so at ease that she started to do naughty things like refusing to listen to teachers, want to do things her own way, bully her caregivers.

Everday when i picked her from school, her teacher will complain to me how naughty she was that day. She refused to open her mouth when other teachers feed her. She would only finish her meal if Wang lao shi feeds her.

As the books always said ''Terrible 2s, maybe she is undergoing this phase. Her mood was actually quite good during this week. She even did a Hi-5 with the Malay receptionist whom she dislike always... hahaha

21 months old today

Giselle is exactly 21 months old today and we brought her to Botanical Garden to meet up with Ethan and family. She had fun watching the swans and tortise. However, weather was quite hot.

She is getting very stubborn nowadays. Maybe today she had too much bread at the garden today and refuse to eat her favorite ABC pasta that I have cooked for her. She just chewed a few mouths and spit the food out each time I fed her.

She slept for 3 hours in the afternoon as I guessed she must be feeling very tired from morning activities.

She did take her porridge dinner and after that, we brought her to harbourfront for some shopping.

Sometimes I feel that she is just testing our patience. She was standing at a pillar today at the shopping centre and refused she come to me when I asked her to. She just walked a few steps and walked back to the pillar crying for me. Meaning, she wanted me to walk to her instead. Every passerby looked at this ''poor girl'' crying and looking everywhere for her mummy.

Kept Falling....

The last 5 days had been a busy and tiring week for me. I have been working full day this while week. But the good news is that Giselle has gotten used to the routine at Delcare and no longer cry during the day.

During the last 2 days, her teacher said that she was so at ease that she became naughty and started to take other children waterbottle to play with them. She didn't actually wanted to put it back even she got scolded by her teachers. Just today, I was told that she was punished by sitting on a chair at a corner. They called it ''thinking chair''. She cried and screamed and kicked when she was being forced to do so.

Giselle fell and hit her head at home during the last 2 days:

Wed incident - I was wiping her and after that I went to the window grille to hang the poo towel. SHe was lying on the sofa when i left her. The next thing I heard was that she fell on the floor with a loud bang. I think she must have flipped and fell like a baby.

Then came Thu, she was sititing at her blue ikea chair playing with the animal figurines on her table. Then I walked past her to talk to Adrian outside the study room. 2 min later, I heard a loud bang again and I quickly turned my head. Saw her lying down on the floor and the chair toppled over.

I think she must have stood up and fell backwards.

Today she came down with runny nose and I was busy wiping her mucus. I had already suspected that she may come down with runny nose as she was sneezing quite frequently these 2 days.

Being a Parrot

Giselle is very jealous whenever I carried other babies. Yesterday I brought her to attend my friends gathering at Teresa's Bayshore condo. She enjoyed it but at the same time jealous most of the time. She loves the playground, kept sliding down and climb up.

These 2 days, she surprised us by saying ''Reached home'' when her daddy's car reached our carpark downstair. She always followed /copied us when we said ''shiok'', ''Aiyo'', ''Haiz'' etc. Guess we have to be very careful with our words liao.

At times, Adrian will punish her by locking her up. I could sense that she felt very scared and she will scream, do something to express her fear and anger. I was very heartpain also.

Today she did something playful. Adrian and I were concentrating on watching DVD and she suddenly came over to disturb us by kissing her daddy face and kept calling him..

She ate quite a big bowl of her lunch and dinner that I have cooked for her. Nothing beats a kid to finish the food that mummy cook for her :)

She is very playful and fun to play with but can be very naughty at times also. However, when interacting with other babies and toddlers, she is just as timid as mouse. These few days, she will wake up around 9am and sleeps at about 10pm.

School Holiday

These 2 days are Delcare school holiday and I took leave to take care of Giselle. Had been worried about Giselle's frequent tantrums recently and did speak with her teachers. Whenever she feels insecure, she will scratch us.

Had realised that it is due to the change of routine that made her feel insecure as now I have to put her full day at Delcare. In addition, there are a few new classmates joining her from infant section. Will give her some time to settle down.

These 2 days has been quite enjoyable as I managed to cook more food for her like Green bean soup as snack. She could finish them all! :)

I noticed that when she had enough sleep, she will open her eyes with a big wide smile or laugh in the morning... really love to see such expressions from her.
