Belated Valentine

A beautiful cat done by L. Noticed all the heart shaped? :) I love this pic! She is very happy with what she did :)

Bento #9

Instead of waking up early to cook & prepare for her bento today, I baked pandan chiffon cupcake using Elaine's recipe last night. Thank you for sharing Elaine :)

L loves it! She asked for more when she got home :) Daddy thinks it was not soft enough... Wondering what's wrong... Z didn't want it for breakfast but in the afternoon, he ate 2 of it!

He Is Jealous

Lately, my boy tends to get jealous easily... I don't think I show him less attention.... He is 'fighting' for attention with jiejie, not that he has never done it before but lately it has been more frequent. Probably he speaks so well nowadays. Hehehe...

When we pick jiejie from school, L is always very excited to tell me the happenings in school. Hence, Z doesn't get the chance to talk to her or me. L will go on and on.... He tried to interrupt, but I told him nicely that he has to wait for his turn to talk. He was pretty upset.... "Why I don't get to talk to mommy?". I explained to him that since I pick him up first, he had his turn to tell me what he has been doing in school and it is only fair that jiejie get the chance to tell me too. It is good that he always cool down very fast, sometimes within seconds or minutes :)

When he heard jiejie telling me that she is the leader in class, he told me he is too :)

So I asked him

Me: So my handsome is a leader too? :)
Z : Yes! I am always the first in line and Ms B said I am the leader! Everyone has to follow me.
he looks so cute when he was saying this :)

When we go shopping, he complains when we look at girl's stuff too often.

Z : Not again! Why we always look at girl's stuffs. Girls girls girls!

or

Z : On man! Why here only have girl's things? Where is the boy's things?

My reply?
Me : Not true! We look at boy's stuffs too. Remember.....
I will have to name him those times when we look at his Thomas & friends and also cars.

Note : "Oh man!" is the words he loves to use :) When complaining, when I ask him to do something etc.... :)

Sometimes I think he finds it fun to 'fight' for attention with L :) He loves to see jiejie getting mad. He loves it when jiejie says "ZZzzzzzzz!" when he interrupt her. I know no matter what, he loves his jiejie :)

It is never easy to balance my time for my 2 kids.... But I try my best. I make effort to spend time with each of them. Sometimes, I get L to do some silent reading while I spend time with Z. And I get Z to play with his Thomas train while I spend time with L. Anyway, I think it is pretty common kids get jealous right? :)

Memories

There is so many things I want to blog about.... But I can't remember..... :( Oh dear! I am getting old...

I have to make effort to note them down.
I want to remember everything that we did together
I want to remember our conversation, our little silly talks....
I want to remember why they make me proud....
I want to remember what they make me angry
I want to remember what they did that make me laugh
I want to remember everything little thing that make them happy
I want to remember what we fun we had
I want to remember what we silly things we did to daddy
I want to remember their dreams, what they want to achieve and I will do my best to help them
I want to remember their milestones..
I want to remember what are their favourite food, how they praise me when I cook it for them

I want to write down everything about my little ones, before they grow up and have a life of their own.

Swimming Updates

L has been learning swimming from this coach for a looooong time and yet to go for her test. Finally now they are preparing for it.

For the past 2 weeks she has been complaining tired and was reluctant to go for her lesson. It must be the coach's sudden change... Well, recently we have pushing the coach to be more firm and we question why our kids yet to go for any swimming test. Now I think he can sense some of us were not happy.

For this lesson, L enjoyed it better coz they are learning how to make a float with their pajamas. I may stop her lesson with him soon if I don't see any progress in her swimming skills. Her stroke is wrong and he doesn't make any attempt to change her. The only thing he did was telling her verbally. Haiz....
