Scoop n Eat!

25.08.09

Since's Help's return, Mum's been unable to cook dinner cos she has to 'jaga' Adri (who can be quite sticky at times) single-handedly and hence, Mart and I have been eating out.

Instead of watching us, Adri's found something she loves to do!

Mummy's pretty happy. This means that Daddy and Mummy would be able to have our dinner at the same time (instead of one after the other).

How about ADri's dinner?

She has had hers. Mum still cooks porridge for her, twice a day. =)

Adri helping herself to a portion of Daddy's dinner.

Am quite pleased with her progress. =)

Hopefully, she'll perfect the skill of eating on her own prior to going to school next year!

Yep, you heard me right. This KS Mummy has already reserved a place for her at a childcare centre. =)

What Sayeth Adri?

Interesting exchanges made by Adri lately:

1) Ah Pek! Ah Pek! Harlow Ah Pek!
(she used to call them "Uncle")

2) Aunty go home already. No more Aunty.
(waved her hand to imply that maid's gone back)

3) This one Mummy "de" ("de" in Mandarin)

4) Adri take for you, okay?

5) Wa mang ting...wa mang ting...
(sings the Hokkien song of the weekend drama serial "Ai")

6) Mummy sapu
(sapu = sweep)

7) Mummy wash baju
(baju = clothes)

8) Mummy iron baju

9) Pepper lai lai
(lai = come)

10) Daddy neh neh (chest mistaken as breasts) soooo big!

11) Adri hair soooo long!
(not true!)

12) Adri put sauce

13) Eeee....Pepper sai

14) Pepper sai chou chou
(chou chou = smelly)

15) What Mummy doing?

16) Adri want eat rice?

17) Adri poot!
(poot = fart)

18)Daddy panties

19) Mummy is here

20) Pepper cut hair. Adri cut hair also?

(she added the sound effect)

23) Adri want listen Barney

24) Mummy put make-up

25) Mummy go work.


Which is your favourite?
I love #10!
cracked me up for days! =D

Children are indeed gifts from heaven. =)

What a Child!

My second attempt of picking Adri from Mom's single-handedly went well. =)
Just like yesterday, Adri sat at the back seat, belted in her baby chair and sang Barney's "I Love You" repeatedly. I had to repeat the song some 5 times! Each time the tune ended, my little jolly girl would go "Again!". She never seemed to get tired of that song.
Well, I would love to think that she treasured the sing-along session with her Mummy! =D

What a child!
She knew that there was no more Aunty (maid's been fired) and Mummy certainly needed her to be well-behaved in her baby chair instead of monkeying around while Mummy drove her home. =)

Hmm...I'm not too sure if my joy was shortlived.
Just when i thought my little one had finally learnt to sit well in her seat, she behaved adversely during our time out in the evening.

Evening. In Daddy's Car.
Driver - Daddy Wong
Passengers - Adri and Mummy Wong

Adri: Adri want sit baby chair!
Daddy + Mummy: Good girl, Adri. Sit in your baby chair
(baby car seat in Mart's car is placed on the front passenger seat).

After some 5 minutes,
Adri: Adri want Mummy, Adri want Mummy! Adri want Mummy!!!
Mummy: Okie, come to Mummy. Please sit properly. Follow Mummy, fasten your safety belt.

After another 5 minutes, ADri began to bawl and insisted on sitting on her baby chair.

A power struggle ensued.
I refused, restrained and reprimanded her.
It was absolutely dangerous for her to be that "mobile"!

To my dismal, I lost the battle.
Adri wailed non-stop for some 10 minutes and we gave in.
We transferred her to the front when the lights turned red. She grinned.

Another 5 minutes later,
Adri: Adri want Mummy!!!!

I gritted my teeth.
What a child! =/ =I

Who Makes the Milk?

10.08.09

9pm (Adri's bedtime)

Adri: Aunty! Make milk!!
Me : No more Aunty, Adri. Aunty has gone home.
Adri blinks and responds almost immediately: Mummy, make milk!

Right, i am "maid-less" again.
Am happy to be without one.
Even more relieved that Adri didn't mind maid's absence. =)


Lobang for a reliable part-time maid, anyone?
I'll steer clear of a full-time maid for now (and hopefully for the next few years...)

@ Pasir Ris Park

We treasure time out with Adri so much that we'll steal time somehow to take Adri somewhere.

Our latest favourite hang-out - Pasir Ris Park.
Very often, it's a mere half an hour either before or after dinner on weekdays.
Half an hour it may be, but tremendous joy it sure brings!

Check out how confident Adri is! =D

This is wat i always tell Mart: Our baby doesn't need any gymboree classes! =)

@ a Wedding

.
i have absolutely no idea why i can't upload pics with blog.com's link.
It's rather troublesome to be using Slide

We attend a cousin's wedding recently and here's how dolled up my little ADri was; we finally managed to don her in this pretty wedding dress that her Grandma had bought her last X'mas!

Guess she will not have the chance to put this princessy piece on again; she's getting tall real fast! =O

Pretty, isn't she? =D
