Kinder NurseryWe went 東沖(ひがしおき) today. We raced together. Yee-chan ran very happily. After that, Yee happily piled up a lot of flowers.
Potty Training: 15:20 (sat only)On The Way Home
Everything was fine till we stopped to look at the potted plants outside a neighbour's house, just opposite our apartment building. Yee first looked at the purple flowers, then she looked at the next potted plant, filled with huge leaf. I took out the mobile to take picture. Soon, Yee took control of the mobile. We stood there for quite a while. I tried not to rush Yee. Then something happened. Yee said something which I could not understand. And she was frustrated. WhenI squatted beside her to ask her what she wanted. She demanded, "Stand!" and pushing me to stand. When I stood, Yee pushed me toward the potted green plants. I really had no clue what she wanted. Yee just cried non-stop. The last straw was she lied on the floor and cried ... which I detested. I picked her up and 'stormed' home! Once home, I put her down at the doorway and left her to cry. Yee took me shoes to me and asked me to bring her out. I decided to ignore Yee, knowing that 'entertaining' her would only encourage her to cry more. I did the dishes and turned on 'Sesame Street: Count 123'. Yee cried for a good 15 mintues before she got distracted by Sesame Street. Then she alternate between crying and watching for another 15 minutes. Finally, I heard the sweetest voice, "Ma, ma." I knew my little girl had calmed down and went to her immediately. She signaled for me to open the door of the shoe cabinet. Then she took off her shoes, put them into the cabinet, closed the door, took off her socks, put them into laundry basket and went to watch Sesame Street. I asked Yee for a hug. And she gave me a hug one. Yee is my sweetie pie again.
