Yesterday, Mummy xiu, Daddy chin and baby yin went to mummy xiu's ODAC friend's house. It was the first Mum and babes playtime organised by the veteran mummy huilin with 3 kids.
The turnout was small but we learnt alot.
Who were there:
Huilin w her 3 kids - Isaac (3yrs), Leanne (1yr8mths), Jayson(3mths)
JJ, Desmond with their 2 kids - Luke (about 2+), Isabelle (8 mths)
Yeechin, me and our 1 kid - Stella (2mths)
Leanne totally impressed us.
Event 1 - Washing hands
Huilin and Kelvin had set up a little makeshift sink in the playroom toilet that was low enough for the kids to wash their hands on their own. So little leanne went in to wash her hands which went something like this.
On tap. Wash hands. Off tap
Press soap. Rub hands together
On tap. Wash hands. Off tap.
Dry hands on towel.
Event 2 - Taking bib
It was lunchtime and huilin, yeechin and myself chatting in the playroom when leanne suddenly appeared. Quietly she went to this chest of drawers. The drawer is about slightly less than 1m wide. She pulled open the lowest drawer. Took out her bib. Closed the drawer and went out quietly. Not disturbing our conversation and never asking for mummy.
Event 3 - lunchtime
Leanne was sitting in her hair chair. Eating ALL by herself. Sometimes with a spoon and sometimes with her hands. Whichever works.
Lunch had soupy rice with prawns, vegetables and other stuff....
Well, the floor around her was abit of a mess but who cares!
Apparently she was able to eat a chicken wing on her own the other day.
... we hope stella will be as independent as leanne too. At least we'd try to get her to be so...
