Today, we draw on fish-shaped papers. Yee-chan chose orange fish-shaped paper and used pink marker to draw on it. After that, we coloured on the colouring paper. Yee-chan was good at colouring with the green colour.
Potty Training: 11:00 (sat only)
Feedback From Teacher
人見先生 said that Yee sat on the potty twice. Praise God!
Winnie-the-Pooh - Springtime with Roo
This was the first time Yee watched Winnie-the-Pooh. Once she saw him, Yee cried excitedly, "Pooh-san! Pooh-san!". I was washing the dishes when I thought I heard Yee said, "donkey". I turned to look at the TV screen and saw flowers, Pooh and Roo. Shortly after, Eeyore, came into the screen, trotting behind Pooh and Roo. I was surprised that Yee can identify Eeyore as a donkey. It was simply amazing.
Shower Time
Mummy started a new routine for shower time. Mummy used to help Yee to take off her clothes in the shower room. Now that Yee can take off her own clothes, Mummy asked her to remove them outside the shower room and placed them into the laundry basket.
For a while now, after shower, Mummy would wrap Yee with towel. Yee loves it. I used to hold her hand and lead her out. Now she would walk out by herself and walk into the bedroom for change.
Wee Morning Adventure
-- Yee awoke from her sleep and cried very badly at 1am. Mummy had to carry. It was difficult to calm Yee down so Mummy turned on the Nursery Rhymes to distract her. Yee was scratching her head frequently. I think she was feeling hot and uncomfortable. [[The problem with our apartment was that there was no shelter on the 'window' (acutally sliding doors). June was a raining season in Japan. If we leave the windows opened the rain would poured in :-( And what made the matter worst was there was no air-con in the bedroom, only in the living hall. Though our partment was small, even if we turn on the air-con, it would not cool the bedroom. ]]
-- Mummy was perspiring as she carried Yee in the living room. It was getting humid these days. It was uncomfortable so Mummy turned on the air-con. The living room got cooler. But at 3:15am, Yee still showed no sign of wanting to sleep. So, Daddy took out a futon and placed it in the living room. Immediately, Yee came down from Mummy's arm and lied on the futon. After a long while, about 30 mins, Yee slowly dozed off and slept soundly till next morning.
-- Morning ritual was different and a little tough with Yee waking at the usual time and lack of sleep. She alternative between gay spirit and crankiness like flash of lighting. Finally, Yee left the house willingly and happily with Daddy. And Mummy dropped back to sleep.
Mummy's Disappointment
We did not receive any letter from the city hall. That's means Yee could not go into the government nursery next month. Mummy was utterly disappointed. Why God is not answering our prayer? In Japan, Mummy felt deserted by God (many unanswered prayers). Nonetheless God is God. It is His to give and His to take away. With and without God answering Mummy's prayers, life still goes on. So, Mummy told herself to brace up and move on.
