2Y2M (JP) - Daily Walk with Yee

Morning Struggle
I let Yee slept in till 9am before I turned on the nursery rhymes to lure her to wake up. We left the house around 9:45am. Yee refused to take the route to school. I tried to turn right at different junctions but it did not work. She seemed to recognise the way to school. After 40 minutes, I was exasperated. It was 10:30am (My Japanese class at the community centre started at 10am). I walked her home to take the bike. Yee boarded the bike willingly. Outside the school, she refused to get down from the bike. After much persuasion, Yee still refused to get down. I had no choice but to carry her down. Yee cried terribly. Inside the school, I passed her to her teacher and left for my Japanese class.
Kinder Nursery
Yee-chan also cried when she came to school today. After cuddling her, she gradually stopped crying. She may be in this manner for a while. I am very happy that she came to school. We played with dolls today. Yee-chan played happily with the kangaroo doll.
Potty Training: 15:00
Feedback from teacher: Yee-chan did not take nap.
On Our Way Home
- It was drizzling so I decided to walk instead of riding the bike. On our way to Lawson store (100yen store), Yee wanted to make left at a junction (I think her teacher brought her to a nearby park by that way). She was standing in the middle of a small road and refuse to walk with me. I let her standing there crying (while keeping a keen eye on any vehicles coming this way). Then I told her sternly, "Yee, do not repeat what you did this morning." Yee turned to look at me. I continued, "We're going to the store. Come and hold Mummy's hand." Yee stood there thinking. After a while, she gave me a smile, walked towards me and held my hand.
- I wondered what was the difference between this incident and the morning?
Puzzle Time
Yee loves puzzle and plays with them everyday. It was interesting to observe that Yee loved to put all four puzzles together and played with them.

Bedtime
I thought Yee would sleep early since she did not have any nap today. In fact, she was dozing off during dinner time. But this little girl refused to sleep at 10:10pm! Her eyes are heavy but she refused to sleep. I left the news channel on while laying on the bed with her. It was 10:30pm and Yee was still playing with curtain. Finally, I turned off news channel and the light in the living room. Within 10 minutes, Yee dozed off. I am looking forward to the day whereby Yee would go to bed by herself.

  1. Grin... you know, this reminds me of when we were young.
    We would go to bed... wait till daddy snored and get up and played barbie dolls till the next day. sometimes we got caught.
    But we still do it at least 4 times a week!

    When Yee chan has a partner in crime... ho ho ho! let the good times come :)
