1Y10M - Reading Time

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

I pointed at the bear and said,
"Yee, look at the bear.
He is brushing his teeth.
Do you brush your teeth?"

She shook her head and
gave me a stern look.

For weeks, Yee refused to brush her teeth. I made a mistake by incorporating teeth-brushing as part of the bedtime rountine. Now, Yee refuses to brush her teeth as she is resisting bedtime.

1Y10M - Reading Time

I asked,"How many kittens are there?"
"One, two, three, four," I counted.
Yee pointed at the mother cat.

I recounted, "One, two, three, four,five ... cats"

1Y10M - Special privilege

One day, I suggested to dar,
"Why don't you trim Yee's fringe.
And ONLY you have the privilege to do it. "

Since that day, Daddy has been doing it
dutifully, faithfully, and
happily with great pride

Special privilege,
Precious memory.

1Y10M - A Great Helper

Mummy had bad backache and
Daddy offered to mop the floor.
Sweetie Yee lend-a-hand too.
What a great helper.

1Y10M - Sleeping Beauty

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Since day 1, I have planned for Yee to sleep on her own. But we moved so often last year that she ended sleeping with us. It turns out to be a great blessings. It was so much fun having Yee in bed with us.

1Y10M - Exercise with DuJuan Ah Yee

1Y10M - Daily Walk with Yee

6pm
For three days, Yee did not ask for "food"on our ride home. Hurray! I've been waiting for this day. Wanted Yee to "wean" herself off this habit by herself. Praise God!

Dinnertime - I was looking at Yee as she was finishing up her dinner. She looked at me and said forcefully, "Nice!" I was glad that Yee loved her dinner.

After a short playtime, Yee walked to the fridge and said, "开" (open). After looking at the content inside, she pointed at the celery. I was surprised as we seldom bought celery in Japan. It is very expensive (some places sell 150yen per stalk! I only bought from one shop where I could get three stalks for the same price). Anyway, I gave Yee a stalk. Sitting by her table, as she chewed, she said, "おいし" (delicious).
