I know I have mentioned many times how sweet my princess is. All those that are written here are true. I love to note down the little happenings of their lives.
Last night, L went to stay over at her godparents' place. They invited her and she was so happy! Knowing that godparents have new games. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed that she was so enthusiastic about it. When she left, Z already fell asleep on the sofa. Good thing was that he fell asleep, otherwise both will 'fight' to go for sleepover.
Today, till lunch time, I didn't receive any calls from her and I was quite sad. I was thinking she must be having so much fun that she forgot about us. Z and I made a video call to her and found out she was engrossed in playing games.

Thank you all for your concern. I am very touched by the comments that you all left for Z and me and the smses and calls. When he is older to read the comments, I'm sure he would too.
Z is feeling better! For the past few nights, we had to help him get on and off the bed, sofa and chair. Yesterday morning, I was surprised to see him get off the bed by himself.
Z (walking out of the room): Jiejie! Jiejie! ...
Me: Z, you are up! (surprised to see him get off the bed without any help)
Z: Mommy, where's jiejie?
Me: You forgot today is Friday? It is weekday and jiejie is in school now.
Z: Oh! I forgot....
Me: You miss jiejie?
Z: Yes... *smile* Good morning mommy!
The first person he looked for was L! I'm jealous! Hehehe...
For the past few days, besides watching TV and reading books with him, there wasn't much things for him to do. Like what I have said earlier, everything he did, he needed our help. AND now, he doesn't walk around slanting to one side! Before that, he was walking with his body slanting to the right and holding on to his right hand. I think he wasn't used to the additional weight of the cast.
He played computer games since yesterday! He asked if he could play computer games and I told him that his right hand is injured, how to play? He happily replied,"mommy, I can use my left hand." Silly me, why didn't I think of it?
Within minutes, he was very comfortable playing computer games with his left hand.
I was so happy looking at him moving the mouse!
When he watches TV, he doesn't need my help to sit down on the sofa or get off the sofa. He needed help only if he was sitting on the floor. During lunch time, he fed himself. It was messy but I was so happy that I didn't bother about the mess. Showering for him was tough. We have to ensure that his hand doesn't get wet and the past few times when we washed his hair, he screamed and cried!
He wanted to play toys but most of it need both his hands. Yesterday while jiejie was having her ballet lesson, we went to the mall for a walk and at the same time bought some extra BIG t-shirt for him. He can't wear all his clothes now so I have to buy new ones. He tried playing with the game console which was on display but as you know, he has only one hand that he can use now. He was disappointed that he can't. I decided to buy something as a reward for being such a brave boy. It was none other than Thomas & his friends engine, Duncan. That cheered him up and this morning he started playing with it.
Of coz I didn't forget about my princess. I bought her something which is her favourite right now, Hannah Montana.
I have made a call to his piano school and sent them the MC to stop his lesson for the time being. When he recovers, we will have to rebook the timing and hopefully he can get the same teacher. When I told him about it, he was quite disappointed... He said he can use his left hand to play but you can't just practice on your left hand right? I explained to him and he seemed ok with it.
I also made calls to the school and his young reader center. The teacher from school called me back yesterday to find out what happened to Z and she said she has packed his worksheets for him. But I thought I have asked my friend to tell her that Z fractured his hand and he can't write at all. She explained that though he can't write, at least go through with him what the classmates are doing. The teacher from the enrichment center advised me to stop his lessons for the time being and let him go through his old reading books. For Chinese enrichment, the teacher told me to continue with his lesson and she will be extra careful with Z. That I'm not so sure, we'll wait till after her checkup then I will decide.
As for swimming, I planned to tell the coach the following lesson. He is exempted from PE lesson for at least 3 months. Seems like it will be a long time before things are back to normal for Z... That day I asked him if he would like to the playground again and he said no. I think he has the phobia now whenever he sees the playground. Parents out there, do keep an eye on your child when they are at the playground. I hope none of you have to go through what we have gone through..
Got to go now. We have visitors coming to our house later and we better pack up!

I have been busy taking of Z that I forgot to blog about his progress report. Better do it now before I forget.
Generally, Z is doing well in school, except that he needs to improve on his Chinese. He needs help when given a pic and he was supposed to describe what he saw he in the pic. For English, I was surprised that his reading skills was only average. He is good in identifies sounds in consonants, ability to blend letters and show interest in book. But when comes to ability to read a book, shows interest in reading and ability to blend letters, he got an average. Hmmmm.... From what I know from his young reader enrichment class, he is more advance than his peers and I have seen it myself. Anyway I am pretty happy with his progress in school.
Teacher's remarks for this 1st semester:
Z is friendly towards teachers and peers. He has adapted well in his learning environment and is improving consistently with guidance and encouragement. Keep it up!

I think I have neglected L for the past few days and I feel very bad... I talked to my princess and she is sooo understanding. Sometimes I wonder if she is really the little worm in my stomach... Hehehe... She knows what I think at times.
I apologised to her for not spending time with her the past few days. Z has taken up most of my time till today, he was much better. She told me that she understands that at this time, didi needs us more. She helps me takes care of Z too. Last night, they were supposed to be in the room sleeping, but Z came out for a while and she followed. They both wanted to give us goodnight kisses again.
When they went back to their room, L turned on the lights and LZdaddy wondered why, so he asked. She replied that she was helping her brother to his bed and she turned on the light so he can see better. So sweet right? Then LZdaddy saw her gently holding on to Z and helped him settled in. She also helps whenever didi needs something, remote control for TV, drinks or toys. She definitely has lightened my load.
I was glad yesterday that I sent her to her enrichment class and we managed to have girl's talk, though not long. It was great to have some time alone with my princess. Yes, she maybe naughty at times, but these sweet little things that she did for us has make me love her even more and less angry with her. Honestly, isn't it normal for kids to be naughty at times?

This a very very long post. I try not to miss out any details as Z will read it when he is older. I was interrupted many times while writing this & the previous post cos my Prince Z constantly needs my attention.

On Monday evening, my friend and I arranged a play date for our kids. They have not seen each other for quite some time and I have something that I wanted her to pass it to our friend in Amsterdam.
Things was fine, the kids played bubbles and at the playground. Safia and I kept a lookout for our kids at times. Then suddenly I heard Z crying very loudly.... I saw him sitting on the floor and his sister nor his friends were with him and I rushed to him.
He told me he fell from the platform where the monkey bar was and his right arm very painful. We sat on the bench and convinced him to let aunty Safia have a look at his arm (he didn't allow any of us to touch it). Aunt Safia (used to be a nurse) couldn't find anything wrong with it but I was sure he has fractured his elbow AGAIN! Slowly, I saw that his elbow started to swell.
We went home and I rushed to give LZ dinner as I knew when we go to the hospital, we will spend a long time there. At that time, Z couldn't move his right hand at all and I had to feed him. When we rushed out of the house, I realised I have not taken dinner myself!
If you have been to KK, you would know that first, they have the nurses to assess the condition and THEY COLLECT CONSULTATION FEE too before you get to see Doc. Z was immediately sent to the 'red' door where he got to see the doctor first and have a x-ray done. Doc confirmed my greatest fear, he fractured his arm again AND it was not the previous time (which was a hairline fracture). This time, there was a crack on the bone and he has to be admitted to the hospital immediately and probably need an operation.

Just a quick note before I rush back to hospital. Z will be going for surgery at o7oohr. He fractured his elbow and Doc need to insert pins into it. It is not a major surgery nor a minor surgery. But for a 4 year old boy, it is a major one.
I pray that he will recover soon.... I'm lost and confused now.... And tired too. My heartache when I found out he has to go through this at such young age. Hope it will be a smooth surgery....
Will update when I have time.

While I was baking this morning, both were busy drawing. I was surprised with these drawing!
L drew a baby. I was very impressed with it and I actually questioned her if she trace it from the book. Sorry Sweetie, mommy shouldn't do that. She followed the instructions and it turned out so well!
