- Yee was very uncooperative this morning. She did not want to leave the bedroom to wear her shoes for school. Yet when Daddy pretended to leave, she cried. One time, she wanted to bring two umbrellas with her, then she wanted to bring her Elmo handbag out. She was fickle-minded and crying a lot. Finally, Daddy had no choice but to carry her out and take her to school.
- Yee cried all the way to school. She kept calling, "Mummy!". Poor Daddy had to juggle with a struggling crying toddler.
Kinder Nursery
We went to 南沖(みなみおき)park today. Yee-chan played with the toys at the sandbox with her friends. Everyone had great fun putting sand into the buckets and poured out again.
Feedback From Teacher
I asked 人見先生 if Yee was alright in school today. She said that she was surprised that Yee cried so badly this morning. But Yee was ok in school.
Potty Training: 15:00 (sat only)
Way Home From School
- I saw a friend and stopped by the park. Yee sat on the swing and I pushed her lightly and let it swing. I was surprised when Yee got down from the swing herself while the swing was still in motion. It was a pleasant surprise.
- At elevator landing, it had become Yee's ritual to climb up and down the stair. She did not go beyond second level. She did it for twice and then wanted Mummy to carry her and climbed up the stair. Mummy explained to her that Mummy it was too tough for Mummy to carry her and "baby" up the stairs. Yee cried for a while and finally yielded.
- Inside the elevator, Yee would not allow Mummy to press the button. She would not press it too. Mummy had to press it as there was no ventilation inside the elevator.
- Inside the house, Yee cried again. She wanted to go out. Mummy turned on the 'Sesame Street, Do The Alphabet' to distract her. Yee alternate between stealing glances at the TV screen and crying. Finally, she yielded and took off her shoes and socks. She even put her socks into the laundry basket before walking to the designated place where she could watch the TV.
Dinner Time
Here was Yee trying to scrap the bowl clean before putting it on the basin top. She was so meticulous that even a strand of vegetable must be scraped off (look at the first picture with one strand of veggie). Then Yee passed her fork to Mummy. And she used her hand to scrap the last strand of veggie from her bowl. Once done, she happily put the bowl on the basin top.
