Wenyin took a shower all by herself today! It was one of those times where I gave her a choice as to who was going to give her bath. ( Me and my options…) Auntie Maria, Mummy or she gives herself a bath. She was very reluctant to take a bath, but when she heard that when she could give herself one she was very excited.
I meant she would soap her body while I washed her hair, but fiercely independent wenyin insisted on doing both. And I couldn’t stand in the bathroom either. I could only peep from the corridor. It was quite something to see wenyin doing all the steps. Washing her hair was tough, cos she is still abit scared of the water going into her eyes, but I could see she was really trying hard. She took a small towel to cover her eyes while the other hand held the shower. She couldn’t aim very well and she splashed the whole toilet, door and the towels hung outside the door, and water and some ‘shampoo water’ (we had ran out of shampoo and it was just some water mixed in the shampoo bottle) was getting into her eyes but she persisted. Wet hair, soap and rinse…I was so proud of her.
Soaping the body was relatively easy for her, but she got herself into a tangle with the shower hose a few times… that was funny.
Wenyin is really a darling… Wished I had filmed it, but I guess it would be hard to take videos from the corridor… and it can be something she’d hate to see when she got older.
Chenhui said BALL very well today… repeating it a few times and at appropriate moments. We think she got that… so super good job to chenhui too.

Mr men and little miss go to marina barrage
Last Sunday, little miss one, little miss two, little miss three and mr four went to marina barrage as a family.
Little miss two recognized the place immediately. 'where is this place?' she asked as we rolled into the carpark. And as soon as she asked she exclaimed 'marina barrage!'
Breakfast was abit sad. We had to wait 15 min for the staff to clean the floor and when they were finally done we were given an unimpressive menu to choose from.
(Oh no little miss three is crying. All cos little miss one bathed in the toilet of the bedroom she was in. Sleep sleep little miss three.)
After we filled our tummies we moved around the building. The exhibition was pretty good. The section with the glass floor felt scary for l-ms two and she clung onto l-ms one as she walked across the room.
The best part was definitely the water play area. L-ms two took off her skirt and happily walked around in her tshirt and underwear. She had a ball of a time splashing around and lying face down in the water. By the end of it she was soaked through and I- ms one had to buy her a new super-big t to change into.
L-ms three had her share of fun being carried around cos there was no place for her to crawl. She pretended to sleep everytime the sun got too hot and opened her eyes the moment we got into the shade. That was hilarious.
We got home at 12.40. Tired but very pleased

SUPER overdue update
Testing a new concept of updating my blog through my iPhone. So much has happened and it has not been offloaded from my head i am so afraid i'd forget.
The little one is growing up so fast - she can crawl over terrain, stand, sleep on her own, eat solids and makes the most beautiful cooing sounds. She also has bad habits of chewing paper and crawling into the mess of wires under my computer (especially when we doze off and she wanders around the room on her own in the early morning). One of the nicest moments are she realizes that mummy is awake from her nap and crawls back from under the computer table and quickly scurries towards mummy with a wide grin.
The older one has grown more mature, is potty trained, can read her alphabets, count to 10(sometimes even 25 but in some random numerical system just to sound smarter). Wenyin is quite a wiz with her words. She recently coined the words twogether, threegather and fourgather. The numerical prefix denotes the no. of people in a hug. Three-gather when chin, wy and I huddle for a hug, four-gather when ch also joins in.
The two of them are starting to be more aware and accepting of each other's presence. Chenhui loves to crawl to her sister whenever she hears her voice. Wy picks up things that ch drops from her high-chair and talks to her as one of us.
Life is good.

Ha ha
Last night, we put wy to bed
(as usual)
As mummy xiu and daddy chin were about to leave the room, mummy xiu walked back into the room (to adjust the fan position)
At that moment, wyy called out
'Mummy (don't forget) your phone!'
Mummy xiu often leaves her phone lying around. Now even wyy knows and has to remind mummy.

Marina barrage
wyy: kaitlyn cannot say 'ma -li-na ber-lage'. yin can say 'ma -li-na ber-lage'
Mummy xiu made an appointment with Mummy Nak to bring the 2 girls to Marina barrage on a Monday. ( A priviledge for mums who don't work). In the morning Daddy chin told wyy that she was going to marina barrage and before I knew it, she was saying it... and kept commenting that kaitlyn (who was 5 months younger) would not be able to do so.
She enjoyed herself... only slight problem was the loud pump room that faced the main courtyard.Wyy kept saying she didn't like the machine sound. So mummy xiu had to 'ca-lly'
Pictures taken with the iPhone.
HUNGRY!
