2Y3M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Tough Morning
It took Mummy 30 minutes to get Yee out of the house. By the time, we reached the nursery, it was 10:10am and the other kids were happily playing in the pool. Yee sat on the bike and watched while Mummy explained to her that she has less time for the pool because she did not want to come to the nursery.
Kinder Nursery
This morning Yee-chan was not in a good mood when she entered the pool. She remained unhappy in the pool. But once she saw the water balloons floating by, she was smiling and played happily. She took a longer time to sleep (than other kids) during nap time.
Supper Time
Yee 'sharing' daddy's noodle. It was warmth to see Daddy and Yee eating one strand of noodle from opposite end. It was a pity that Mummy did not manage to get a picture of it.

Surprise Photo
Mummy was surprised to see this photo. Daddy took it while we were sleeping. Mummy could only sleep on her left side as she was 6-month pregnant (pregnant women are not recommended to on their right as it would press against an important blood vessel).

Kinder Nursery
- We went for a walk today. Yee-chan stood in the stroller cart. It has been a while since we took a walk and Yee-chan was very happy. Whenever she saw dogs, flowers, train, etc, she would point at the things and said, “先生". She waved to the train and the train driver waved back.
- One week before the Bon Festival, outside activities are cancelled. We will have pool time, please remember to prepare for it.
- Potty Training: 15:00 (sat only)
Mummy i wondering ...
Mummy wonder how did the train driver waved back at Yee. The track is way above us ????
After Nursery Walk
Mummy thought this walk was for Yee (since she was confined to the nursery room for the whole day). On deeper thought, perhaps it was meant for the six-month pregnant Mummy. The one hour walk (every Mon to Fri) would surely build up Mummy's health and stamina. Maybe that's why God delay His blessings (for a little while) in granting Yee a place in the govt nursery just, opposite our apartment.
Yee Found Her Highchair
Mummy kept this high-chair since we used a low dinning table (like Japanese) and sat on the floor. Few days ago, Mummy was surprised to see Yee sitting on the high-chair in the bedroom. Apparently, Yee had dragged this high-chair from the corner where Mummy kept it. But how did she got it out from among the few things that were blocking it. Mummy wonder ... Anyway, Yee loves it and has been sitting on it in the bedroom. This evening, Mummy decided to let her sit on it and watch DVDs on the TV. See ... Yee was enjoying it.

After Nursery Walk
At Lawson, Yee touched a pack of tidbits and it fell onto the floor. Yee simply walked away. Mummy asked her to pick it up, Yee shook her head and said, "No." Mummy explained to Yee that the packet dropped because she touched it. Yee tried to distract Mummy by pointing at a dog statue on the cashier counter. Mummy persisted and told Yee gently that she needed to pick up the packet. After a while, Yee walked back to the packet, pick it up and placed it back on the same spot from where it dropped.

it was drizzling and Yee wanted to use the umbrella. This was the first time we saw her opening and closing the umbrella by herself (well, Mummy always let her wear raincoat ... because it was easier).

Kinder Nursery
We played with dolls and wooden blocks in the room. Yee-chan was hugging the dolls. She called a sheep doll “dog”. Yee-chan saw a picture of a train on the wooden block and happily said, “choo-choo”.

Morning Walk To Nursery
- Minutes after Daddy and Yee left for nursery, the door bell rang. They were back because Yee pointed at her head and told to Daddy, "帽子。" Mummy put on the hat for Yee. Yee really looked like a Japanese kid with the hat on.
- Daddy pointed at his watch and told Yee, “手表。小艺没有手表。"
Yee was quiet and thought for a while. Then she touched Daddy's head and said, "帽子, 没有。" Daddy was in great surprise.

We did physical exercise today. Yee-chan was happily dancing. She danced well. After that, she raced. As she ran, she said, "ヨーイドン" cheerfully. She really ran a lot. She persevered in running till the end.

After Nursery Walk
- Yee walked into a different car park (from yesterday). She pointed at a car and told me, "White car". Then she went around pointing at the different cars. She stopped in front of a car and said, "Nose". I was surprised. Then I realized that she was pointing at a Toyota logo in front of the car.
- Yee said, "Four" and pointed at the number on the car park lot. I asked her, "Where is three?". She ran to the next lot and pointed at the number. She did the same for two. When it came to the number one, she said, "Right here, one." I was impressed that she used the phrase 'right here'.
When You Child Is Too Quiet
Mothers are right when they said that when your kids are quiet, better check on them. I was working on the computer when I realized that Yee was unusually quiet. Then I know why ... see below photos:

There goes Mummy precious Prickly Heat, specially brought from Singapore.

After all the fun, Mummy got Yee to clean up.
Having Fun With Her Little Brother's Stuff
- Our neighbour gave us a bouncer this evening (her 13 months-old son had outgrown it). Yee was excited as she looked at it. She said, "Koh Yee's". Mummy replied, "No, darling. It is 弟弟." "'弟弟," Yee repeated as she looked at it. After showering, Yee wanted to sit on 弟弟's bouncer. Well, Mummy thought 'just let her enjoy it'. See, how Yee enjoyed her new 'chair'.

New Fave Phrase
- These few days, Yee new fave word is "I Know, I Know". And she used it numerously time this evening.
- Mummy wanted to help Yee to put on her diaper. Yee shook her head and said, "I Know, I Know".
- After washing her hands, Yee would wipe her hands dry with her personal towel. But it is often not dry. Mummy wanted to teach Yee how to dry her hands properly. But Yee replied, "I Know, I Know".
- Mummy's mobile was ringing. Yee had it and refused to give it to Mummy. As she walked away from Mummy, she said, "I Know, I Know".

After School Walk
- With a two-years-old kid, things did not happen the way Mummy planned. Mummy wanted to bring Yee to the library right from school. On our way, Yee stopped to play at a car park. She ran up to the two cars and pointed at them separately and said, "White car. Black car." Then Mummy asked, "Where the blue car?" Yee ran to the nearest car and said, "Blue car." Next Mummy asked for a red car. Yee could not find one as the only red car available was actually dark maroon. Nonetheless, Mummy pointed at the car from a distant. Yee instantly identified the red car from a row of other colored cars.
- Mummy really wanted to go to the library today to borrow books for Yee. So, we reached the library 30 minutes later than plan. When leaving, Yee refused to co-operate twice (top of the staircase and at the automatic sliding door. By the time we reached home, it was 7:30pm. Mummy was exhausted while Yee was still full of energy.

Morning Affair
- For two consecutive mornings (after the weekend), Yee did not cry on her way to school. On Sunday evening, Daddy told Yee that she was going to school the next day and she must not cry. On Morning & Tuesday mornings, Daddy and Mummy did the same and Yee was fine.
- Mummy realized that it is important to prepare children for what is to come. Mummy think that for the last few weeks, Yee thought that she was going out and was surprised when she was being led to school.
- New Chinese words that Daddy taught Yee. Daddy showed Yee his mobile and said, "电话" Yee repeated after Daddy. Then Daddy kept his mobile in his pant's pocket. A while later, Daddy asked, "爸爸的电话在哪里？" Yee reached into Daddy's pocket to retrieve it.
Kinder Nursery
We played in the pool today. Yee-chan swam a lot. And together with friends, took buckets of water and poured onto the body.
Feedback From Teacher
Yee wore her diaper on her own today.
Milestone: Yee Taught Mummy A Game
- Last night, Yee held Mummy's palm in her left hand. Then put all the fingers tips (right hand) together to form an inverted cone. As Yee was saying, "ば、ば、し”, her five fingertips were 'bouncing' on Mummy's palm. Yee repeated the phrase twice and then, used her fingers to tickle Mummy's neck. She repeated this a couple of times and then requested an exchange of role.
- Yee was playing the same game with her fave dancing chick (two nights later). Mummy quickly took a video and managed to capture a bit.
