We got up early (well early to Mommy since its Sat!) because Auntie Sol was coming over to have a look at her wedding card. Mommy's working on it. She brought us breakfast and I promised Mommy I won't bother her, so I sat quietly in the living room and ate my bread. I still try to talk to Mommy, but softly .. I know, not suppose to bother her right!?? Okay, yeah Mommy reminded me a few times about it! Later Auntie Sol left, .. Mommy and I left for Copy Xpress to get the cards printed. She also reminded me to be good girl and not to simple touch other people's things.. (store).. I am cool about it, I asked Mommy permission if I could sit near the Christmas tree there, she said OK and I did not touch the tree! Someone came sitting next to me and we started talking alot! I asked him if he has kids, he said no, only CNN, TV and coffee at home, ha! His name is John. He says I am very bright! Uncle at the store also asking me how, I guess they were all wondering how come I talked so much!

All this while I usually not keen to let Daddy help shower! Yest I don't really mind since its going to make Mommy happy, so she can rest a little. Though Mommy said she'll still shower me but it makes her very proud and happy that I am willing to let her take some time off so Daddy can take over! I told Mommy, 'Analina no cry, Analina make Mommy happy'...

2005-12-28T18:15:00.000+10:00

I walked out of the toilet after PP this morning, Mommy got mad! She asked me not to but I went outside the living hall to play, pretending I didn't hear her .. Later we got into shower and I refused to brush my teeth, Momy was upset because everybody was running late! Finally, Daddy came to get me, and I said sorry to Mommy. She reminded me a few times what happened, so loh soh.. and I said I understand..

2005-12-27T18:10:00.000+10:00

Was having dinner with Mommy and Daddy at the dining table, for some reasons I remember some songs and started saying something about 'old man' .. then Mommy asked, who is old man? I said, erm... Daddy! ooopps! Hehe... They we're both curious so Daddy asked who said that to Analina? I told Daddy.... (after thinking abit), Mommy! Mommy was shocked hehe she said she didn't tell me that... (ooppps) .. then Daddy was playing (but I tink I didn't know that, wasn't sure!) so he pretended he was upset and twist Mommy's ears.. Mommy pretended (but I didn't know!) she was in pain and told me to tell the truth .. that Mommy didn't say it! I thought about it for a while and concluded Mommy said it, hehe... Daddy twisted more! This time I get no face for Daddy! I showed Daddy a fierce face and firmly told him 'dama-yo!' (no) and he didn't let go, so I quickly lift my leg up, wanting to get up from the chair (abit samseng kind ha) to help Mommy out!!! Woe.. Mommy and Daddy was shocked .. I am so protective over Mommy!!! Hehe ..

2005-12-26T18:08:00.000+10:00

Mommy put on my fruity- dress and we went to Auntie Keen's house for breakfast. She also did the same last year! I love going to Auntie Keen's house! Played alot with Kar Wai, Kar Yan .. it was fun! Mr. & Mrs. Yu was there too. Aroound about lunch time, Mommy and Daddy sent me to school and they went shopping and massage! How mean to leave me at school, hmpf! But its OK, time for them to get a break, from me, ha!

2005-12-25T14:46:00.000+10:00

More photos with the tree today, since more presents from last night Christmas get-to-gether with Auntie Juliet, Auntie Keen, and many of my friends! Auntie Juliet has a cat and I told Mommy on our way back, 'don't bring cat to our house, because will get dirty, Mommy have to clean'! Mommy and Daddy asked me what I enjoyed most and I said 'Kor-kor Dassson'! Oooops hehe yeah I played alot with him, up and down .. all kinds! We also usually go upstairs to Peony's rooms and watch TV, play some toys. Had nice dinner too, Momy said very nice food!

This morning, I wear a nice dress for Sunday school since its Christmas. Mommy hang around at the nursery for a while before she took off for the sunday service. This is our last time to meet for the church at Hilton. The church should be ready next year, since it was hit by the typhoon. Uncle John is the Architect who will re-built the facility. Then later we went to Keyaki for lunch. Came home and opened up all our presents! Where's my snacks!!????

2005-12-24T09:42:00.000+10:00

We took photos with the Christmas tree(ooops its only a Sunflower tree, Daddy's big idea) and presents.. Later Mommy asked me what I want from Grandma and Grandpa, I said 'grapes'! So 'Analina can eat everything!!'

2005-12-24T08:07:00.000+10:00

(Mommy using PC) I got up from bed myself, didn't cry, walked to look for Mommy outside.. then I told her 'Analina no cry like a baby'.. Mommy very happy to hear me say that! She tried to talk to me about other things (since she knows I will be asking for my breakfast), praising me etc but I am still waiting for my breakfast! OK-la, finally I open my mouth ask Mommy for my breakfast! She got me my milk, cereals (I asked for cornflakes and cereal i.e. the tiny round ones), and bread-with kaya jam!!! Must have all Mommy!!! Usually I will insist on the box milk so I can drink with the straw but Mommy's been telling me that's for school, so this morning I told her, this milk for school OK.. I didn't mind she got me milk from the bigger box in the fridge! Yes, Mommy I am learning and listening!!! Mommy asked me to wake Daddy up and sometimes I'll refuse, but sometimes I'll please her a little, and yell 'Daddy!!!!!!! Wake up!!!!!' but he no response, ha!

2005-12-21T21:04:00.000+10:00

After shower, I went upstairs to watch my favourite Barney tape.. Mommy, I want the black one OK? Kor-kor Dasson buy new one.. Later I heard Dadddy had this bigggggggg SIGH (just for fun), I told him firmly from upstairs, Daddy don't do like that OK? Daddy said Sorry!

2005-12-21T21:01:00.000+10:00

On the way to pick up Daddy, Mommy asked me not to bother her so much and also her eye is swollen and pain.. I thought for a while and said to her 'Later Analina massage OK?' She said thank you and when she complained about her pain again, I told her I'll put ice pack for her later (hehe as if I will!) .. and let her know I'll massage her eyes ... We had dinner at home and while waiting for Mommy to cook, Daddy had nuts and gave me some too.. I told Daddy, 'not too much'.. so Daddy asked why, I said to him 'later Mommy get mad'... hehe..

2005-12-20T21:18:00.000+10:00

We got home late this evening .. well not really late.. jsut that Mommy did not prepare any dinner yet. I got into the shower while Mommy was cooking and back and forth (Daddy watching me) and when Daddy tried to shampoo my hair I said to Daddy, I want my Fiona!! I want my Fiona!! Ha, nowadays I can pronouce Mommy's name accurately! I want my Fiona!!!

2005-12-20T21:15:00.000+10:00

Yesterday Mommy took me to Dr. Galgo office. I had a big Christmas cookie fr. Jonathan so I brought it along, Mommy said can only eat after seeing doctor and no crying. I agreed and was doing well the entire time! When nurse gave me the shot (ouch!) I didn't cry ... Mommy said, wow!

2005-12-19T21:20:00.000+10:00

'Analina go summer camp, summer camping ... with Sensei Yuki..' (Mommy & Daddy shocked and *gasp* .. Daddy said I talk like a big girl, summer camp???? Hehe .. oh well, I mix with the big boys and girl Daddy!

2005-12-18T15:41:00.000+10:00

Ohh forgot to mention, Mommy and Daddy left for a Christmas boat party (Momy's office) and sent me to daycare on Sat! I didn't really know and was too tired by lunch time, Sensei said I need to finish my lunch first as I keep telling her I am sleepy .. knock off right after! :P

2005-12-18T15:28:00.000+10:00

Mommy & Daddy came to watch my Christmas performance last Friday! I came out when its our turn (Starfish class) .. strange! so many people (well, parents sitting in front) .. so I was searching, n searching and searching for Mommy and Daddy, I stayed put though! When its time to intro ourselves, Sensei called our name and I raised my hands up (but still browsing for signs on Mommy and Daddy, hehe) .. anyway, took a little while before really warmed up for the dance! We did 2 songs - Anpanman (a very popular Japanese cartoon character) and Jingle Bells .. Mommy and Daddy very happy and proud of me! After the show, we left for Uncle Steve's photo exxhibition at the Two Lover's Point - KAHA Arts and Culture Gallery. We had some slight refreshment and then pack some food home on the way.

Went to Sunday school next day. Mommy volunteered as the teacher there too since there's not enough hands - only Julia there to watch us kids. Daddy attended the morning service. We left for lunch at the Guam Plaza Hotel Chinese Rest, had alot of fish and shrimp and desert (sago) and watermelon too! Before leaving the car I told Mommy, 'No need to bring car seat to the restaurant, leave car seat in the car OK?' .. Mommy was kinda amazed with the complete sentences I am making, hehe.. Anyways we went home, Mommy surely wants me to nap! I kept telling her I wanna watch more Barney.. finally, zzz at about 3pm ... yeah, I gota nap if not, Mommy says I'll get too tired before evening hours ...

2005-12-16T13:46:00.000+10:00

Talked to Gong-gong and Poh-poh yesterday night. Was kinda tired since its already late but Mommy made a phone call to check with them about trips back to Kota Bahru (kampung). Said alot of things to Grandpa and Grandma .. 'Mosshi-moshi .. Analina go Sunday school.. no crying, Analina not baby..' hehe .. count 1 to 10 in Cantonese for Grandma too, she said I sounded like kwai-mui (Westerner) trying to speak chinese! Also said 1 to 10 in Japanese, Grandma enjoys it!

2005-12-14T20:29:00.000+10:00

'Mommy, you want apples?' .. its desert time (after dinner) and Mommy busy with the computer so I reminded her to eat her apples.. and I am enjoying mine! All mine! Yeah I love apples .... This evening, on the way out from the car, as usual, Mommy would un-buckle my seat belt and I will have to wait and ask for Daddy's permission before going in front to turn off the radio and turn the car keys to turn off the engine! This time, I didn't wait for Daddy to remind me, so I asked Daddy 'Can I kiss your cheek..? - Daddy always make me do this and say magic word before letting me turn off the radio! And I told him, I love you Daddy!!! Hehe.. he is sooooo happy!

2005-12-13T08:22:00.000+10:00

Didn't quite get up on time this morning! Maybe too much Barney last night :P Mommy woke me up and I got up immediately, heading right out to the living hall for breakfast! I went to get my apple juice (box) drink but Mommy said that's for school, so I kinda negotiated and discusses with her, finally settle for strawberry milk. Also reminded Mommy about my bread and cereals with milk! She said to be patient, she's going to get them soon! Hmmm bad mood!? hehe.. anyways, I ate my breakfast and Mommy prepared my lunch box with snacks and apples for today. Potty PP and WW OK, bath with some complaints as usual! They both dropped me off at school this morning and I said bye-bye, 'I love you' to Daddy and told Daddy I would be nice to everyone, no pinching and pushing, only hugs. Mommy also reminded me on the way to share with my friends and no fighting!

2005-12-12T11:15:00.000+10:00

Had lunch on Sat at Holiday Resort Guam and met my friends there! Dasson, Kar Wai, Kar Yan, I enjoyed playing with them sooooooooo much! We played with ice-snow man at the foyer and had ice-cream too! Mommy took us around and she was exhausted hehe .. Anwyays, I didn't wanna go but eventually have to! Later in the evening, Mommy & Daddy sent me to Auntie Anna and Uncle Steve's house (with Ester and her sister) so they could go off to Citibank Party! (but I think Mommy said she's going to work, hmmm!) Dasson came over too since Auntie Keen and Uncle John also goes to the same party! We had more fun on Sunday. We get up early and go to Sunday school at Hilton, but there's not enough baby-sitter for 2 years, so Mommy volunteered! We had lots of fun though I'd prefer to stick to Mommy! Auntie Julia also had story time for us and she talked about Jesus. We left for Din Dai Fong for lunch and I had porridge, love it! Mommy and I were both full and sleepy we took long nap in the afternoon! Got up at about 5pm when Daddy got back from gym. We got ready and left for Auntie Edna (Daddy's boss) Christmas gathering with Christmas carollers too, they sang very well! I enjoyed it alot and try to immitate them by holding a magazine as my singing book! Also dropped by at Dassons house since Daddy couldn't find his way, he gave me 4 new Barney tapes! Dassson said he doesn't need them anymore! He even wanted to select a few more toys for me bu Daddy said no, next time! I enjoyed playing with Dasson esp. he's got many dinasours!!!

2005-12-10T10:50:00.000+10:00

Daddy said I am doing very well with potty! Though erm, sometimes Daddy lectured me for PP-ing on my clothes at school. This morning, I quickly alerted Daddy! Was playing halfway.. and told Daddy, potty potty!!! Quickly went inside to PP ....

2005-12-10T10:47:00.000+10:00

I wake up as usual, my own timing, but its Sat! So Mommy would sleep abit more I understand.. now I dont cry to go outside.. I'll just hang around on the bed and then ask Mommy permission if I can go outside and wait for Mommy instead. She'll say OK, and I'll go outside, turn on the TV and wait for my breakfast! If she's taking too long, I'll go back into the room and remind her, I want my breakfast! These days I also enjoy helping Mommy do laundry .. well, not contributing much but yes when she needs an extra hand to take the clothes out from the dryer, she'll pass them on to me and I'll put them on the sofa!

2005-12-08T21:42:00.000+10:00

I had to go to school all week last week inc. Sat n Sun!! Gosh .. didn't realize what a long week! Mommy and Daddy attending a workshop full day thats why. Last Sat evening though, we went to YPao park for Japan Festival, it was fun though strange to me! I got a very exciting toy with sparkling twinkling lights as a big heart-shaped necklace play thing ..

2005-12-08T21:38:00.000+10:00

Sensei had a long talk with Mommy this evening when Mommy came pick me up. Not as long as yest. but same old same old, - reporting to Mommy that I am still pinching and pushing other kids when I am not happy ....... Sensei Sharon said, they will always talk to me about it, explain to me about things.. just maybe I am not there yet - only 2 eh! ;)

Yest. Sensei Sharon told Mommy alot about me, alot of negative comments how I misbehave, how I get time-out, how naughty I have been! I know what they're talking about, surely gossipping about me! Anyways I just waited for Mommy to finish and obviously I am not happy after that! Thinking, maybe Mommy will give me another lecture ... fine enough, Mommy told Daddy later on, and they both were asking me alot of questions and lecturing me all the way!

2005-12-01T20:42:00.000+10:00

'Brocolli good for Analina!'.. I told Mommy. We picked up Dadd from work and I am having a second helping dinner! 'Analina wait for Daddy dinner...'.. (waiting patiently in the high chair).. Daddy feeding the fish first .. Anyways Daddy very happy because I told him that I like Daddy carry - when getting out of the car, and I will hug Daddy tight and rest on his shoulder .... Daddy said, Daddy very happy Analina like Daddy carry .. and I said 'same same Daddy!' ... While waiting, I told Mommy & Daddy, 'Only Mommy call loe-gung, Analina call loe-dau?!' .. just to get some confirmation since Mommy & Dadd always correcting me, I used to enjoy calling Daddy loe-gung just like Mommy! Actually I was just teasing them ha!

2005-11-30T19:47:00.000+10:00

Mommy very proud of me because I eat by myself and not choosy about food. 'Look Mommy, Analina eat brocolli' .. 'hair will be long' (Mommy told me that before, hmmm.. I bought it anyway!) .. We ate together and I behaved well Mommy said. Daddy said he gota work late so we will pick up later. I told Mommy we eat dinner first later only watch Barney

2005-11-26T21:49:00.000+10:00

I took my long afternoon nap and when I got up (ooops, crying again but not too hard this time! .. looking for Mommy) We stayed indoors for a while, though Mommy tried to take me out walk at the lanai, but I wasn't very keen at all seriously! Anyway I think there would be mosquitos! So I told her we should go back in. Later we left for Tumon, Mommy said there's a dance festival there.. Parked the car at Guam Plaza Hotel and then walked around Tumon, watched the local dance show a little but I told Mommy its too loud, and we should go... so we went shopping instead... ate dinner at the food court at The Plaza, I ate quite a bit! Rice... eggs, shrimps, noodles.. Mommy said I behaved well .. We left at about 8.15pm, got home, wash up a little, watched Barney, then wash up again (brush teeth) and bedtime! Mommy would read abit of my Barney drawing book (she's lazy!) and soon its The End! But OK, I don't mind.. as long as she's reading something because after that I will read for her instead.. one more time Mommy? Okay .. here you go .. :)

2005-11-26T21:40:00.000+10:00

It's Saturday and Mommy says I don't have to go to school! We hang out in the house, I watched Barney upstairs, Mommy sold a few more items to a few people. Then Mommy bath me, washed my hair (since it was late yest, so we didn't get to do it last night) and I am all ready to go out! After that Mommy still taking her own sweet time to get ready, I waited at the bathroom door asking her to hurry up! Look Mommy, Analina standing here waiting! I told her, and showing off my one hand pressed to the side of the door and my other two legs crossed at the ancle.. Mommy was shocked! She asked me who stand like that?? I said Sensei, ha! I couldn't wait coz Mommy promised to take me go for trolly rides! I've been wanting this for a long long long time!!!! Yes, it was many many months ago since Daddy took me on a trolly ride and then I was still a baby crying - Daddy said.. however I still remember! So, always want to get on it again .. Anyway, we parked at GPO then took the ride all the way to the Micronesia Mall, then had lunch there, took another ride back to GPO. I was really upset when Mommy said we're going back to the car.. so she took me to walk around GPO for a little while.. Anyways, when we had to go back to the car.. I was very upset with Mommy too, yeah, surely for the same reasons! So I showed my usual stunt, hands on my eyes, tears falling... Mommy said, OK, we gota go anyway, what's wrong? I told her its because of Mommy.. so she said she's going to go for timeout and pull her ears, then I said OK .. afterthat no more crying, hehe..

2005-11-25T21:54:00.000+10:00

Today is Show & Tell at school, we have this every Friday. Sensei wrote "Analina was so happy to show her teddy bear to everybody. I asked her 'So, is teddy a girl or a boy" "Girl!" she said. 'Does she have a name?', "Bear!" she said, Thank you Analina!! Mommy was happy to read about my act, so she repeated Sensei's questions to me .. but I told her this time, my teddy bear is a boy, ha!

2005-11-25T09:43:00.000+10:00

Since its day off for Mommmy yest and today, we arrive at school a little later than usual. But I would have my breakfast at home and also told Mommy I want my breakfast at school too. I got up this morning and played a little bit on the bed since Mommy is so sound asleep.. didn't want to bother her (otherwise she might get mad, ha!), but you know I can't wait much longer, need to go outside have breakfast - anyways, I told her 'oshiko' (need to pee) and Mommy got up, go to bathroom with me. I can go by myself but you know, I want Mommy!!! After that, obviously we're not going back to the room anymore(though Mommy would want that!) I'd just head right into the living room asking for my breakfast! Cornflakes, n cereal, and Mommy - fish biscuits too, milk also! Later on Mommy asked me if I wanna keep any of my toy-bears since she's selling them off, I picked one from the many and she said I could bring it with me when we go Msia .. I told her, Analina go, Mommy also, and Daddy, and bear? OK, and baby? Mommy said, erm, not baby, just bear.. and I reminded her, and Mommy and Daddy also, OK? When arrived at school we met Hailey, she was late too. Hailey Mommy is very nice she talks to me, asked me if I had fun yest for Thanksgiving, I told her 'yeah!' She also asked if I ate turkey, I said 'yeah!' (oooops hehe guess I don't know what I am saying! - Turkey is tonight, we are going to Auntie Juliet's house!) Before going in, I must find my juice! Mommy said to go in first and take it out from my bag later, but I insist to hold it first! Anyways, if Momy doesnt wanna open my bag, I'll just help myself!

2005-11-24T21:58:00.000+10:00

Sensei wrote "Analina did not make it in time for the bathroom today, so we changed her pants .. During circle time, Analina enjoyed singing and listening to the stories. We talked about Thanksgiving and what we are thankful for"

2005-11-24T09:36:00.000+10:00

I had lots of fun today. Sensei told Mommy that I ate good. When Sensei explained about thanksgiving and asked what I am thankful for, I said 'Daddy!' .. Mommy picked me up as usual - she had sold off quite a few baby stuffs - bulky items today - but I didn't notice when I got home anyway! Was thinking about my Barney more.. and told Mommy I'd go upstairs. Mommy came with me and help me turn on Barney - Grandpa says its dangerous to let me operate by myself. Later in the evening, Daddy called, and I spoke with him for a short while. Told him I ate porridge and since I am already so in-to watching my Barney I quickly say bye-bye, see you later, have fun, Analina blah...(a bunch of things Mommy can't even understand what I was saying - she said too fast!)

2005-11-23T21:59:00.000+10:00

Sensei wrote "We had indoor play all morning today since it was raining. We are making T-shirts for our Christmas programme at circle time.."

2005-11-23T21:47:00.000+10:00

I've been sleeping a little late for the past few days. Mommy got busy sorting out all the yard sales items and esp. tonight set up the crib so Auntie Mia can show her friend tomorrow. They came by yest night and I played with Marina & Arisa - Auntie Mia's daughers - my 'cheh-cheh'! I enjoyed so much playing with them and also Cheh cheh Peony.. at first I was kinda shy but soon I was inviting them to watch Barney with me upstairs!!! Mommy got upset at one point though because cheh-cheh Marina/Arisa carried me and let me peep from the railing upstairs so I can see Mommy. I never did that before and so Mommy wasn't happy, she said its very dangerous. She came upstairs right away and tell us not to do that, and don't want me to learn doing that. Auntie Juliet also reminded Peony not to do it (though cheh-cheh Peony is already big girl) but Auntie Juliet didn't want her to set a bad example for me.. Anyway .. I slept with my Barney book by my side tonight. Daddy called home about 8plus and I was playing in the crib right after Mommy got it all setup. I told Daddy Mommy not yet cook and reminded Daddy to buy presents for me and Mommy! Shortly after I said bye-bye, see you later, have fun!

2005-11-22T21:56:00.000+10:00

It's Brandon's birthday today Mommy! We had birthday lunch and snack - all provided. Mommy picked me up as usual and we went home, had dinner since Mommy already cooked in the morning - nothing fancy, just spare ribs and rice! We try to wrap up early and shower first because Mommy will have friends come over by 7.30pm, taking a loook at my baby-stuffs that Mommy wants to get rid off .. I slept OK last night but Mommy said I woke up asking for Daddy for a short moment ..

2005-11-21T21:59:00.000+10:00

Mommy & Daddy sent me to school as usual .. I had lunch box and apples from home, Mommy prepared. These days I usually take breakfast at home but also sometimes take some cereal when I arrived at school - well just to join my friends like Kapua and Haley! Later in the evening, Mommy came to get me and Daddy was running late, then we sent him to the airport.. didn't go down because Daddy was already very late! He said he couldn't really get off work earlier, work keep coming to him.. oh well! I said bye bye to Daddy and told him I love him. He said he will buy me many presents and for Mommy too :) When we got home, Mommy started prepareing dinner - she cooked Salmon but didn't eat much, she wasn't feeling too good - maybe miss Daddy already huh! ;) Anyways, I went upstairs a few times to watch Barney (by the way Mommy, Grandpa says always watch out for me esp with electrical equipment, cannot let me do it by myself!) .. one time Barney ended already and Mommy still downstairs.. I started crying.. Mommy came and asked me why, I said 'Daddy'........... *sob sob*, Mommy hugged me and said Mommy missed Daddy too ..

2005-11-20T09:50:00.000+10:00

Auntie Juliet told Mommy that Auntie Keen said I was being such a gooooooooooood girl at sunday school. Very well diciplined because Auntie Keen was saying, most of the kids queue up but then couldn't wait, started going around everywhere but I waited and waited and waited until it was OK for me to move around! Auntie Juliet says, it reflects on my Mommy and Daddy too, such good manners! Hehe .. (how about when I am naughty? :P)

2005-11-18T10:52:00.000+10:00

'O-shiko'! (wee wee), Mommy would ask me to go to the loo and I'll do just that these day, on my own yeah! But Mommy, can you turn on the lights.... thank you! .. Sometimes Mommy gives me time out, I'll tell her she makes me sad.... then i'll just go on complaining.. until she says sorry, and then I'll tell her 'next time don't do it OK?' ..Today is 3rd day staying home with Mommy. Been watching alot of Barney, I can go upstairs myself, turn on the TV put on the video tape .. occasoinally I'll tell Mommy, 'rewind already!', and Mommy will tell me to turn on the TV (while she is using the computer!)...

2005-11-17T09:40:00.000+10:00

Spots are looking very bad today, invaded all over my body and face! I am watching Barney now, gota release some stress hehe ..... Mommy gonna take me see doctor later in the afternoon to see what's going on, if its the chicken pox.. Still taking my medicines - my 8th day on antibiotics... and taking cough/cold medicine prescribed by Dr. Galgo. Mommy would usually prepare it in the shringe and I'll help myself. I can twist and open the medicine bottle too! Piece of cake! But Mommy said, its' suppose to be child-proof! Must be one of those manufacturing defects then!

My Preschooler This Month -- Your 27-Month-Old

Does it seem as if your child is constantly breaking the rules and you're constantly saying "no"? Don't take this as a deliberate sign of mischief; it's just normal 2-year-old behavior. He needs to assert his independence. You can ease frustrating moments by explaining the reasoning behind your rules. Saying, "You can't touch the stove because you might get hurt" will make it easier for him to stay away. Another tip: Head him off at the pass with a little advance warning. If dinnertime is approaching and your child is immersed in play, say "Five more minutes, but then you must come to the table." This should help you avoid calling him again and again.

Very itchy Mommy! I coudln't really sleep well last night and asking Mommy to scratch my stomach.. Mommy felt so many spots! When we got up, Mommy took a look at me, soooooo many pink spots! Chicken pox? Anyway, I pestered Mommy to get up and want to have my breakfast. Later she applied Calamine lotion all over my body, I was terrrified at first, and run around the house didn't want Mommy to come near me with the cotton butt. Later on I was all so cooperative because Mommy let me do the same to her hands too, so I applied Calamine lotion on her too.

Sensei tried calling Mommy at the office (lunch time) but coulnd't get. Wanted to inform Mommy I vomitted. Later call again because I vomitted again. Mommy wrapped up her work by 2.30pm and come get me. We stayed home and I slept early..

This week we are officially starting complete potty train! Had some trial runs last weekend - with no diapers inc. at night and going out, so far so good, although erm, sometimes I forget. WW in the kitchen while eating my fav. snack (of course Mommy, I was too engrossed yummy yummy biscuit) but I do remember not to WW on Daddy's carpet, he may get upset :P Anyway, go to the loo before sleeping since Sat night I WW on my bed, cried like mad. Last night was good, all clear! When I got up, also did not cry - Mommy & Daddy keep reminding me not to and even in the middle of the night, I woke up and climb up to Mommy's bed, share her pillow and did not cry! Mommy & Daddy very proud of me .. Well .. growing up huh! In the morning, Mommy now ensures that I spend some time at the potty so I can WW and PP (which I do, since no diapers for me to stand PP!)

2005-11-13T20:09:00.000+10:00

I watched Barney by myself upstairs while Mommy conveniently go downstairs to cook dinner! OK, Mommy, I am cool with the idea, I have Barney with me. When I am done, I call out for Mommy, she came upstairs to put on a second tape. When I am done, I call for Mommy telling her 'I am finished, Analina want to go downstairs'... Mommy asked me (fr. downstairs) to turn off the video and TV, I said OK and went ahead do that. Then she asked me to turn off the lights (since I can climb on the sofa to turn the lights off, I am more than happy to do so!!! Came down and greeted Daddy who just got back! Later Mommy bath me, she accidentally hurt my thumb with the bucket, I complained to her its pain! Then I showed my sour face the entire time until we got out. Finally, I told Mommmy (and showed her my thumb), 'next time dont hurt Analina, next time blood!' .... hehe Mommy said, OK .......

2005-11-13T08:47:00.000+10:00

Nowdays I am not with my diapers at home, but won't automatically want to PP unless I am brought to the potty! WW (O-shiko) is OK, I will tell Mommy... but PP, nah! So Mommy will divert my attention get me to sit abit and then I'll do the biz! I am starting to take toasted bread now, and I said to Mommmy, more pls, Analina very hungry!

2005-11-13T08:45:00.000+10:00

We went to Nikko Hotel for lunch buffet (Daddy's fav. because got coffee). Knock off on the way back, and Mommy dropped by Hafa Dai Exchange, got me new undies since I've been peeing and pooing in my pants at school! I am good at it, but sometimes get confused, hmm.. anyway, next week we will try proper potty training Mommy said.

2005-11-13T08:19:00.000+10:00

(Eating breakfast - milk and cereal) I dont like Mommy vacumn... I don't like Mommy mop... (Mommy is starting to do her cleaning as usual on a Sunday morning these days..) Anyway, I got up on-time as usual. Today body abit warm from last night, hopefully no fever coming. Anyway I didn't cry waking up and pestering Mommy to take me out outside for breakfast. Now, I will wait a while, if Mommy didn't really open her eyes yet, I will wait a while. But then I'll try to make conversation with her. This time, I told her my ears felt 'itayo' (pain) and it was red, so she took a look and started talking to me, then I'll tell her, I wanna go outside have breakfast.. Mommy will try to delay a little, OK fine, I wait a bit more, then I started talking to her again, I told her Mommy no time out, Mommy no pull ears, Mommy listen to Analina! Hehe, now I caught Mommy's attention! She decided to get up..

2005-11-12T08:44:00.000+10:00

Recently I always wake up in the middle of the night fr. my own bed (on the floor next to Mommy & Daddy's bed) cry out loud and want to get up to Mommy's bed, share her pillow. Daddy asked me why, erm.. I don't know Daddy, just cry! Anyway, after talking yest. I didn't cry waking up last night! I just got up, call for Mommy a little and then sleep with her. Also trying full potty training now since Aunty Juliet says not to confuse me, should go all out without diapers.. so far so good!

2005-11-11T08:21:00.000+10:00

Mommy reminded me to say bye-bye to Daddy. She said that Daddy is on holiday today and should get more sleep so Daddy is going to stay. I have no problem with that! Went to kiss Daddy bye bye and told him I would be nice to everyone at school. Mommy applied some cream onto my lips (a little bit more ulcer) and prior to that clean with diluted Listerin. So she said, since I already have breakfast, no need to eat anymore at school. She's afraid I'd ask for my cereal and juice and milk again - which I always do! When arrived at school Sensei Arlene asked me if I wanted breakfast, I went right into the playroom instead of the eating area and told her firmly, 'Mommy said no' .. see Mommy, I am listening!

2005-11-10T22:01:00.000+10:00

Sensei wrote "Analina WW on her pants in the morning. She stayed with Robin a while everybody else went outside".. Mommy wrote in my book that I cannot go outdoors for play... I told Sensei, Mommy said cannot go ...

2005-11-10T08:23:00.000+10:00

Today is PICNIC DAY! But I am not allowed to go so I stayed indoors with Robin - I told Mommy. Sensei reported to Mommy that, I told Sensei that I couldn't go out with them because I am sick, and Mommy said no go outside. Mommy mentioned to me about this yest night and this morning, so surely I will remind Sensei, don't worry Mommy! Anyway, I am not so rebellious type these days so I always listen to Mommy - well, most of the time ha! Nowadays when Mommy ask me to go time-out, she will tone down say nicely, no need firmly because she saw on TV the other day, time-out has its drawbacks too, nevertheless, it works also. But to make it right, she would still give time out but stand around me, so I dont feel abandoned (according to the TV show) and then realize what I am doing wrong, say sorry and then I can go, yay!

2005-11-09T22:02:00.000+10:00

Sensei wrote "Analina is doing good on her potty training. I usually change her pull up pants after naptime"..

2005-11-09T21:03:00.000+10:00

Daddy said I am bossing around, asking for this and that. Mommy asked me to get my chair to sit but I asked Daddy to get for me. When placing the chair, I told Mommy and Daddy 'Be careful my feet' .. so Daddy asked me 'Are you Daddy's boss?' .. I said 'Yeah' hehhe. Anyways Mommy took me to the clinic today. I am scheduled for a flu shot but have to re-schedule again since I have not yet fully recovered. Mommy very proud of me because I have been such a good girl, did not cry or resist during doctors visit. Nurse checked me; chest, ears, pulse (finger using a device) and I did not complain at all.. then they took my weight also, I didn't mind at all! I guess I am used to it! Later on, we met Dr. Galgo and I let him do the necessary, even including looking into my throat! Big girl now and Mommy shared with Daddy the story... Daddy very proud of me too..

2005-11-08T08:31:00.000+10:00

Bye-bye Daddy, Analina be nice to everyone ~ will automatically say this when Mommy starting to un-buckle my seat belt. Mommy will ask me to say the usual, give Daddy kiss and say I love you - I am cool about that! When we get inside, I'll always ask Mommy where Daddy's going and she'll tell me he goes park the car. Nowadays hardly resist going to school, infact I love it! I was the first this morning and Tatia Sensei was there to greet me. I like all my Sensei, not picky anymore! Yesterday I said 'bye Joy!' ..Mommy *gasp*, thinking maybe I don't have manners! Well, I learn alot at school 'Ma-ma'?? (another one of those names my friends would use to call their Moms!)

2005-11-07T08:34:00.000+10:00

Mommy pick up before 6pm. Abit change in routine these days since Mommy thinks I am behaving very well, and not bother her, let her cook. I will usually have my biscuits (from when I am in the car, right up till home, and after taking out shoes, wash my hands, eat again) and drink some water or juice, watch Disney channel - Sister sister! If possible, Mommy would want me to get a shower first after she finished cooking dinner (6-7pm) and then we go pick up Daddy. On the way there this evening, I asked Mommy if we are going to the restaurant since Mommy cooked already, she said, not everyday go restaurant, Daddy no money. I said 'ohh, Daddy get money?'.. Mommy laughed abit, then I thought to myself for a while and said 'oh my goodness!'.. hehe

2005-11-07T08:27:00.000+10:00

Mommy, don't be so forgetful! We were on the way go pick up Daddy at the bank and until we arrived, Mommy realized she forgot to buckle me! Okay, I didn't remind her either (which I used to do to Daddy) I guess we both forgot!

2005-11-06T22:11:00.000+10:00

Aunty Juliet and Peony came over for lunch, Daddy cooked noodles, Mommy prepared the rest. Aunty Juliet said grace before we eat and I was wondering why, hmm.. but we held hands.. all of us, except I wasn't very willing! ANyways, we had alot of fun and I like them being around. Daddy and Aunty Juliet were discussing alot and looking around the things in the house (for sale) and I try to imitate every thing they talked about, ha! Well, aren't I suppose to show our house guest some hospitality? Hehe.. anyway, I also ate alot of apples and been drinking water all day. I potty WW and proud to tell Aunty Juliet that. Later in the night, Mommy & Daddy & I had dinner but I reminded Mommy to hold hands, she was wondering why and telling me she cannot hold my hand as she needs to eat. Mommy, how forgetful are you??? Say a grace!!!

2005-11-06T22:06:00.000+10:00

Body warm last night, hence waking up feeling uneasy also, and warm. Actually I got up abit earlier but Mommy said not yet wake up, still early, so I didn't cry *since she told me before not to always cry when wake up* .. and I waited on the bed, until around 7am .. for some reasons, I end up crying, asking Mommy to take me out for cereal... Anyways, I also try to bug Daddy, but he was moody too - since its a Sunday huh! Wanting to sleep more ... Mommy got up and we hang out in the living hall, I have my cereal and PP .. told Mommy, Analina cannot sit. Mommy changed my clothes to thinner and sleeveless shirt and open the windows (as usual) so I get to warm up and then shower later. Before then I took Motrin for fever and Proventil for cough at about 9am. Then we watched Barney, and Mommy did laundry and mopping. I started sweating and Mommy very pleased and relieved, at least get some sweat out, hopefully wont be having any high fever. Towards late morning, Mommy insist I take a shower, and cold bath! Gosh, I hate it! Cried the best I could but Mommy said she had to, (as long as no air-con turned on still OK) and so to cool my body.

2005-11-05T15:27:00.000+10:00

Wake up early (well, I usually get up about the same time anyway, 7am) .. anyway PP and Mommy gota wake up, and so we try to get some sun outside, have my milk and cereal, no need fish biscuit, I told Mommy.

2005-11-04T15:10:00.000+10:00

About to get out of the car, I told Daddy, 'my Mommy', Daddy said 'my Fiona' (trying to tease me) and I got upset, I said to Daddy, 'my Mommy Fiona', its my Mommy Fiona....!

2005-11-03T15:26:00.000+10:00

Starting to cough again, Mommy went to GMC to get my cough medicine refill. Will start to take more consistently for the next few days. Runny nose too...

2005-11-01T13:27:00.000+10:00

Mommy & Daddy send me to school as usual. Mommy would sit behind and buckle up for me .. If Daddy start moving the car, I'll tell him, not yet Daddy, Analina not yet ready, don't move yet! On our way, normally Daddy would put on his sunglasses and I'd ask for mine, after all its is sunny hot! When getting off, I'll tell Daddy bye-bye, and 'Analina be nice to everyone' ..

2005-11-01T13:22:00.000+10:00

Happy Halloween! I dressed up as fairy princess for this evening's parade .. actually Sensei Maria helped me out and Mommy said I looked magnificant! We used the very pretty blue gown Aunty Juliet made for me for my 1st birthday (yeah it was too big then) and Daddy got me a princess crown and magic wand .. had nice heeled-shoes also with lacy white socks. Mommy arrived at about 4.45pm and we were all getting ready for our trick-a-treat parade, it was fun although tiring and sweaty, we walked all over Westin to get our candies and gifts! Sensei said, only open the gifts at home, so I remember that, I even reminded Mommy. We had so much it couldn't really fit my 'matching' trick-or-treat blue bag, but I insist on holding them. When we're getting down the stairs, (many many steps down to the beach), Mommy asked if she would just carry me since we're abit slow and she thought I am getting tired .. but I told her, noh, 'Analina can walk!'

2005-10-30T11:09:00.000+10:00

Mommy & I played puzzle while Mommy using the computer. Later on Daddy started using the computer and I told Daddy, I want Mommy, I want my Mommy. I keep telling them, this is my Mommy, my puzzle.. then Daddy said to me, (pointing to Mommy), this is my Fiona.. wow, I got really upset! I told Dadddy, my Mommy, my Fiona!!! Mommy said, don't want me to be like that, must sayang Daddy, but I still insist I only want Mommy! Finally Daddy talked about Hilton, and then I was thinking, well, I do sayang Daddy anyway, ha, I want to go Hilton~

2005-10-30T08:04:00.000+10:00

(Mommy & Daddy sleeping) ... Mommy, Daddy say damai-yo to Analina *sad face and voice tone*... I keep telling Mommy, Mommy asked me what I did to Daddy... I keep telling her, Daddy said damai-yo to Analina.. obviously I am not happy with that! Ha .. anyway, just wanna make a fuss a little! Later on I went to bother Mommy - making funny faces and pretend 'vomit' again and again, and she wants to continue sleeping, so she asked me to time-out upstairs. I wasn't happy again obviously so I went to complain to Daddy, telling him - Mommy ask Analina time-out, Daddy scold Mommy, Daddy! Daddy tell her..! Daddy look at Mommy, loook at Mommy, Mommy give Analina time-out! Later I try to make conversation with Mommy, but she's still the sleepy-head.. finally she started talking to me, 'Mommy, you wake up already??', you wake up already? Mommy said noh... I told her, 'You wake up already, alreay..' , I told her my stomach pain, 'Analina cannot sleep anymore, Analina stomach pain'.. hhaha, finding all ways to get her up! Told her many many times, I want breakfast!!! Anyway, she got up..

2005-10-29T11:08:00.000+10:00

Mommy & I stayed outside in the early morning to have breakfast and so we can get some sun, good for my congestion..

2005-10-29T08:16:00.000+10:00

Uncle Louise came over to our house for dinner. Daddy took me out for a while, to Pay-Less get some vege, then drop by Hilton so we can go get Uncle Louise. Mommy prepared dinner. I remember Uncle Louise, he is Daddy's friend, at the restaurant! Yes, I have a good impression of him and I like him! Not so shy and didn't make face (Mommy and Daddy always saying I do this) when he's around and he bought for me Mickey Mouse toy! We had dinner all four of us and I behaved well, Mommy said (well that's coz we have big shrimp, ha!).. anyway, we also had fruits later on .. I didn't want to get shower though! From the beginning.. but finally, when its already late and almost bedtime, I guess I have no choice! When we're done, I can't wait to go outside tell Uncle Louise I am done, then I wanted to tell him that, since I am done, its now Daddy's turn!

2005-10-26T08:56:00.000+10:00

We tried on a very pretty blouse, I love it! Mommy said Auntie Maria gave to me .. but later she said its abit too big, we should change it. I said, noh, I insist on wearing it. Mommy said we can go upstairs find another new one, so I said OK. When we're choosing, Mommy showed me the ones I have been wearing all this while, I said noh, noh, not this one... until she showed me another new blouse, then I said ya, this one! Mommy, don't fool me!! :P As usual, Mommy and Daddy dropped me off at school, I said bye-bye to Daddy, Analina nice to everyone, also asked Daddy becareful the bus, and tourist (??) .. give Daddy kiss. But when comes night time, I am always fighting with Daddy (perhaps jokingly!) and only want Mommy. If Daddy tries to carry me, I said, nohh, don't carry me! Unless, he's going to take m e out for shopping? hehe.. Mommy tried telling me (and I could understand what she is saying), if Daddy busy - Mommy shower, if Mommy busy - Daddy shower.. but when they ask me again to repeat what I understood, I tell them, 'Daddy busy, Momm shower'.. Momy would ask again, OK , but what is Mommy busy? I would tell her, 'Daddy busy'.. 'Mommy shower'!!! I am not going to give in!!!

2005-10-25T08:28:00.000+10:00

We put on Pooh Bear outfit which Auntie Lisa bought, I told Mommy 'Wow, so nice!' .. took some videos and photos to thank her (wonder when Mommy will send it out anyway, always super delay!).. I insist to sleep with it (Daddy changed my pants to pyjamas pants later on) and when I got up potty this morning, oh noh, where my pants????! I dont want pyjamas pants!!! Anyway, Mommy said I could put on the Pooh Bear outfit for school. Later on Mommy asked me who bought me the outfit, I said 'erm... Aunty Juli! .. noh, Mommy said it's 'Auntie Lisa'.. so I told her, 'ohh, Auntie Juli buy bracelet...' (Mommy thought it was abit amazing, I can remember!!!) Before leaving, we stayed outdoor for a while to get some sun - good for my congestion Mommy said.. I also asked Daddy for orange juice.. and I help myself with my cough medicine (using a shringe) and Mommy gave me vitamins... These days, I will normally have breakfast at home (milk, cereal) since I get up early, and Mommy will turn on the TV (Big Bear with Breakfast Show) so she can prepare my bag and lunch (her lunch too sometimes)... Anyways, when in the car I realized that Mommy forgot to put on my diapers! So I reminded her, and in return she reminded me to remind Sensei to put on my diapers at school, aiseh!

2005-10-24T08:34:00.000+10:00

Mommy .. Kapua hit my eye (pointing and pressing to the side of my right eye).. Mommy checked and didn't see anything but she said my right ear is red though, pretty much. Later on in the night, Daddy asked what happened to my eye since there's red marks .. and so Mommy figured something must have happened at school, but no injury report though.. she's gonna check with Sensei tmr..

2005-10-23T08:41:00.000+10:00

Mommy tried to get up early again so I can get some sun ... we had breakfast outside, I wanted the usual; milk, cereal (with milk), fish biscuit and water! Mommy had milo ... Today not going to Sunday school like last week, Mommy said to start slow, try twice a week instead .. Daddy surely will go if Mommy goes, but if we don't go, Daddy won't go!

2005-10-23T08:40:00.001+10:00

Starting to cough and congestion a little .. yet another round! Hope this time can fight those germs!!!

2005-10-23T08:40:00.000+10:00

Starting to cough and congestion a little .. yet another round! Hope this time can fight those germs!!!

2005-10-22T08:31:00.000+10:00

Mommy wake up!, Wake up, wake up... I want my Mom wake up.. Mommy still zzz.. but she decided to get up and get some sun with me outside.. Long time no get morning sun.. but these days I don't like going outside because I don't like auntie.. Anyways, I am OK this time around, so I had chocholate milk and fish biscuits, until I saw auntie next day, Mommmy!!!!!!! I wanna go inside! Mommy said its OK, she will sit with me, so OK, I give it a try but pull my stool/table closest to Mommy. Later on she said she's gonna go inside for a while but come out .. I told her, I am going in Mommy!!! So I insisted I go in anyway, took my bowl of cereal and fish biscuit, bring inside!

2005-10-21T08:36:00.000+10:00

Sensei Joy told Mommy, when we go outside, go to beach or pool, I would firmly tell Sensei 'Mommy said Analina no go swim'.. 'next time...' see Mommy, I have all these reminders recorded in my mind!!!

2005-10-20T09:19:00.000+10:00

It's Picnic Day!

Mommy forgot to authorize for me to join everyone else for picnic today, good thing Sensei called Mommy! Lunch & snack is provided, and yes we have to pay! My lips getting better, hopefully then I can eat 'alot of butter cookies'.. that's what I told Mommy during shower this morning. I also told Daddy I don't like Daddy, 'don't catch me'! (Daddy try to carry me) .. but later when Daddy mentioned abotu shopping, Hilton and all my fav. outing, I changed my mind.. I told him I like Daddy, I love Daddy, can hug :)

2005-10-19T21:20:00.000+10:00

Mommy said my lips looked good, healing so fast! Only started applying yest, after see Dr. Galgo ..yay! But tonight still had to apply... I was reluctant but gave it a try, it was OK... and I insisted for my bib, because I cannot move my mouth, so my saliva will start flowing... 'no touch lips'!

2005-10-19T09:19:00.000+10:00

I got up and first thing I remembered Mommy promised me last night, 'I want my chocholate milk'! Mommy was hoping I would forget about it, no way! Hehe.. anyway, PP this morning (in diaper) and I told Mommy 'don't touch my PP!' firmly.. just incase she wants to come changing my diapers 'not yet' Mommy... Today, we send Daddy to work first because Mommy had to pick up a package fr. Auntie Keen at CB. We started applying the new medicine (oinment) gotten fr. Dr. Galgo yest. and Mommy said this one not painful, so I let her try it on without crying. She used diluted Listerin to clean the ulcer areas first then apply. At first it was OK but it started stinging after a while, I tried to walk away but Mommy said I could hold Daddy's hand so I did and try not to cry. It was OK, I told Mommy 'don't touch my lips' .. Analina already put medicine. I put on my Dora-dora sticker and said to Mommy, 'My Dr. Galgo give you (me)' .. Mommy reminded me no need to eat breakfast at school since I already had at home, and also because to let the medicine on my lips dry. Anyway, on our way there I thought about my butter cookies and really crave for it! Mommy have one in the car but she said only when we arrive at school she will give to me. I keep asking her for it and told her 'my lips already dry', 'already dry' so I can eat!!! But Mommy wasn't convinced, oh well! She thinks I am trying to out-smart her, hehe.. ok, so it didn't work, nevermind. I got my butter cookies when we arrived anyway :) Oh, we spoted a sports car on the way to work and I like it, I told Mommy I want to sit in it. Mommy said, its too expensive, no money to buy so I told her to ask Daddy get money... ;)

2005-10-18T09:26:00.000+10:00

Sooooooooooo painful! Stings alot!! (Maybe not really, just psychologically) Mommy & Daddy had to hold me tight but I resist totally! I thought the new oinment maybe painful to my lips! But Mommy said its new medicine, not the Orajel - which is really stingy! We went to see Dr. Galgo today, Mommy picked me up early at about 4pm. I didn't like the new face (nurse) but I am OK with Dr. Galgo. Plus, I see him play tennis with Daddy these days! He checked me all over and I was willing to stay calm and open my mouth for him to check the ulcers/sores. Mommy very proud of me.. We went groceries later on; Cost-U-Less & California Mart. After that went home, Mommy cooked a little and we went to pick-up Daddy. I told Daddy about my doc appointment today and said 'Dr. Galgo check stomach, ears, mouth..' Wow, Daddy seems impressed! Yeah, Dr. Galgo also said about me being smart since I told him 'Analina go Mommy office for a while, pick up Daddy fr. CB', when we're about to leave! He didn't catch 100% my meaning, so I repeated to him, that I go to Mommy office first before going to CB!

2005-10-17T09:33:00.000+10:00

Goshi-goshi! (while washing my hands) .. my chin-chin! Mommy, 'damai-yo!' (don't do that) - yeah I am very firm about that, hehe ...

2005-10-16T16:36:00.000+10:00

Sort of my 1st time to Sunday-school nursery.. well I went there once, many months ago, when I was a baby I guess! Anyway, Mommy & Daddy decided to go for Sunday service at Bayview Baptist Church - Hilton today so Mommy dropped me off at the nearby nursery they had organized. Very very nice and friendly volunteers and Mommy would have a pager just incase I am giving problems! Anyway, only about an hours and though I didn't want to leave Mommy, since abit shocked what's happeining (this is so new to me) but I only cried for not more than 5 minutes, so I am cool! I get to play plaster-things and had snack too! - chocholate biscuits hehe my favourite! Well, any kinds of biscuits I guess! But my lips been very dry these days, and this morning had to apply orajel. I totally don't like it! 100% resistance but Mommy said I could give the orajel time out so I agreed to let her put them on for me without any resistance! Mommy very proud of me!

2005-10-16T16:33:00.000+10:00

Another speedy weekend! I slept early last night because I missed my afternoon nap, so by 6pm knock-out! There was this mosquito in the living hall and I didn't like it so I stayed in the room, while waiting for Mommy to come in, I played my blocks. Though I prefer to stick around with Mommy but with the mosquito, no way! I rather stay in the room. Finally, dozzeed off .. Mommy had a simple dinner and Daddy went to Join-us for Chubby Cup party since he didn't join the tournament he had to pay $20 bucks. Mommy decided not to go since she's not feeling too good anyway, and though good food! Nakamura-san always prepare superb Japanese food!

My Preschooler This Month -- Your 26-Month-Old

Time to trim the fat! Once your child turns 2, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you reduce his fat intake to less than 30 percent of his daily calories. You can do this by switching to low-fat milk and cheese and offering plenty of whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Soon your child will be looking more svelte as his limbs and torso start to lengthen and his body proportions begin to resemble those of an adult.

Mommy so terribly moody today. She said she's tired .. coz last night work late. Anyways, she was hoping Daddy could shower me, but I totally refused! Screamed and cried my lungs out for Mommy, and usually Daddy get offended since I don't want him to be around .. Mommy tried to get some rest but I kept crying .. she was mad at me, very garang ... and loud, telling me not to cry *sob sob*, I don't like Mommy get mad .. Eventually, she hugged me and explain to me things, but all I want is Mommy......... Mommy said she felt bad about it, and really didn't want to raise her voice against me, she's afraid I might be afraid and grow up in a negative way. She told Daddy she doesn't want to be like that (as Granny used to scold her loud too, on and on), though she doesn't think about it, but phsychologically, she felt that it has made her a very emotionally sensitive person .. though not necessarily true Mommy said, but she promised herself she doesn't want to be that way to me, so I can grow up positively..

2005-10-11T23:05:00.000+10:00

Mommy kinda upset today since I got 3 injury reports in a day! Recently I had 3 injury reports in a week, today, break record, gosh!

Injury Report 1:
Bandage on my finger due to paper cut
Injury Report 2:
Long red scratch line on my left cheek due to paper cut (??)
Injury Report 3:
Several red scratch line on my chin due to paper cut (again???)

Mommy asked and talked to Sensei asking how come paper cut everywhere even on the face.. if we were fighting or playing hard flipping with papers, Sensei should stop us.. and no us photocopier paper - they are sharp! How about more child-friendly paper? Mommy said I also had paper cut injury report before and when told Daddy, Daddy said, cannot use those sort of paper (it was a calendar kind-booklet that time) if it's so sharp .. Anyway, Mommy talked to Sensei nicely but Daddy said, have to make a BIG FORMAL complain!

Anyways.. will let the adults sort these issues out .. as far as I am concerned, I want my juice when I get home! I know Mommy ain't gonna give me, and she saw me taking it, so I quickly tell her 'already ask permission'.. from Daddy! Ha .. well, because I know Daddy will give me permission, though I have not yet ask! On the way back, Mommy sat beside me and Daddy drove.. They asked me again if I love Mommy more or Daddy more? As usual they cannot fool me, I will be very diplomatic, I said 'I love Mommy more, I love Daddy more' hehe ... Then we talked about going back to M'sia .. Mommy said that I need to be a good girl, then Mommy and Daddy won't leave me in M'sia and then head off to the States.. coz when Daddy proposed that to me, I am all disagreeable!!! Then Mommy said, OK if I am a good girl, they will take me along, I said OK, and she gave me an example - if I ask for juice and Mommy said noh, then I must listen .. and say 'OK, no problem'.. so I nod and OK with Mommy on that. So, she wanted to check if I understood what she was saying, asked me again - she described the scenario again (so cheong hei huh?) and then asked me what I should say if Mommy says no juice... I thought about it, and said 'whatever'!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahhaha..

Kapua birthday today, yay, I got ballons! Mommy sent me this morning and Daddy came pick me up later, but when I knew from Sensei about this, I told Sensei, I want Mommy pick-up, don't want Daddy! Daddy siu-hei, so he said, ok Daddy go first, Mommy come later.. I decided OK-nevermind, follow Daddy anyway, thought I said OK but I walked towards Daddy. Mommy reminded me not to be like that next time, since Daddy will feel sad/hurt about it .. hehe OK-Mommy I agreed! Later in the night, I was teasing Mommy, I loved to mimic her say 'Loe gung!', so I was saying to Daddy 'Remember-la, loe gung! loe gung!'.. haha .. Mommy always very geram when I say that! They said I should call Daddy 'loe dau' instead but I insist, loe gung!!!

Long nap again today! What a weekend! I got up crying (as usual) for Mommy, and to the extend vomitted! Anyway, Mommy cooked and she told me not to go into the kitchen.. I could understand and cooperate with her. Daddy finished shower and dressed up, I told Mommy I want to go Hilton immediately! Daddy said to Mommy 'you nak pergi, if not, jangan bagi dia tau'... but I said to Daddy, I want to go Hilton. Anyway, we all had a discussion and they both asked me nicely if I wouldn't mind just go with Daddy, and Mommy stayed back (because normally I would scream and cry wanting Mommy to go!).. I thought abit about it and said, 'yeah, I want to go with Daddy, will later come back!' ..'because I like Daddy! Because Daddy laugh'.. (Mommy said what I probably meant was I liked Daddy since he is nice!) .. yipppeee, off my way to Pay-less! Oh, because Daddy needs to get wine... one glass a day apparently helps in colesterol..

Mommy said, Daddy 'sek toe ngor lung' (sayang me so much, until 'overburn' - literally translated fr. cantonese), hehe.. Our A/C broke again earlier this week and Daddy always made sure I get the fan, always checking on the fan - had all 3 fans put up in the room for me! Mommy looked at it, wow, she was jealouse! She said, even for Mommy, she doesn't get this 1st class treatment hehe.. (jokingly). Anyways, today we had dinner at GPO food court - Daddy will sacrifice his tempura just for me.. actually, Mommy said, she also sayang me alot, sacrifizing all her 'shrimps' when we order them at Fast Wok! Lucky me eh!? I took a very very long nap today. I didn't want to at first because Mommy would tell me, nap time! I told her, 'Analina yesterday sleep already!'.. but anyway she insisted I take my nap.. When i got up I cried loud so Mommy can hear me but she never came! Mommy and Daddy purposely waited for me just outside the living hall so I can learn to not cry when I wake up and walk out of the door.... finally I saw Mommy, I went to hug her immediately! Daddy asked me why I cry, I told him 'I cannot see Mommy.. sob sob'... They took me to Hilton this evening, Daddy played tennis. We hang around at the playground for a while before going to get groceries... I checked with Mommy and made sure we are heading back to Hilton to pick up Daddy... when Mommy could not find a parking space, she asked if its OK we go home instead, I told her firmly, noh! I want to go see Daddy/playground, walk...

Not much coughing now, and finished all my antibiotics... still abit of those phelgm but definitely recovering.. took a little longer than a week though ... Mommy, reemmber my flu shot! Aunty Ivy and Uncle Bill already got theirs!

2005-10-06T22:14:00.000+10:00

Mommy, Analina very very hungry..... (rubbing stomach).. I want my biscuits... If Mommy doesn't take for me, I'll go get my bag, unzip it and 'Analina hold first' (because I know Mommy will say, eat later, wait until we go to the car) arggggh ... anyway, I'll wait - sometimes! We went to pick up Daddy as usual and when arrived we waited outside the bank. Mommy made the phone call to Daddy and asked me to tell Daddy we are already there. I grabbed the phone and told Daddy, 'Analina eat biscuits.. already, finish everything!' hehe .. On the way home, Mommy said we are going to eat dinner first before anything else. I told her, 'eat chicken! vege! rice! erm.... shrimp.. all in a package!' .. yeah these days I am more willing to eat vege Mommy said because it's all in a package, no choice for me... oh, erm 'fish also!'..We reached home and first thing I was looking for my juice.. those nice colorful boxed juice Daddy bought for me fr. Cost-U-Less.. but first, I asked Daddy for permission. Daddy! Permission................ :)

Injury Report

I was reading my own book and Robin wanted to take mine but I didn't let. Finally he got it from me!! We fight abit and I got hurt on the forehead ........ Sensei put ice-pack.. Anyways, still taking my medicine, nowadays 'Analina help-self', I take my own medicine with the syringe! No problem! Mommy picked up as usual but body temp rising, a l ittle warm ... just monitoring and see how it goes, medicine not effective? Antibiotic not the Z-pack I used to take though ... this time, big red bottle, which I must finish ...

Daddy made Mommy very sad this evening, she cried and cried, so I hug her and keep telling her 'dont be sad, dont cry, dont cry Mommy' but she doesn't listen, so stubborn. I had repeated myself so many hundred times, finally she stopped, I just keep hugging her and tell her I don't want her to be sad ..

What a Sat night! Karaoke with Mommy and Daddy, 'lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie ...' ... hehe one of those love songs! I prefer sing with Mommy though! Anyway, got to bed by around 10pm, cannot cope with Daddy's enthusiasm! I told Mommy I am sleepy and want to go downstairs. Mommy gave me cough medicine and antibiotic (3-times a day so far) and I told her I am 'very very hungry', want milk 'and also water'! I helped Mommy fold clothes earlier and finally ready for bed she said she cannot sleep yet because no space - all the clothes on the bed, so she's rearranging them.. I told her 'Mommy, share pillow with Analina'... Mommy was amazed! But of course, very happy .. hehe..

2005-10-01T06:54:00.000+10:00

Waa........ Mommy said lately I've been waking up then crying out very loud just to get Mommy's attention, knowing she's not in bed and I want her to come get me. So I did that too this morning and Mommy came. She wanted to take off my socks (only been wearing it lately coz thin blanket being washed) and I told her 'Noh, Analina very cold'... hehe... welll, its not that cold I guess! Just wanna talk more :P PP as usual in the morning while watching my Disney channel, so I got up and said to Mommy 'Analina PP, cannot sit down' .. though been able to potty alot lately but when it comes to PP, I still try with diapers!

2005-09-30T07:03:00.000+10:00

Yay! Mommy make me my own bed! 'Analina's own?', I love my bed! Though... er.. it's not really a bed, only my crib mattress next to the big bed! But I am happy, esp with my 'butterfly pillow' (just floral big pillow) .. I have my dinasour and dinasour friends sleep with me too. When I wake up I saw them dropped on the floor so I asked Mommy if they are still sleeping?

2005-09-30T05:14:00.000+10:00

Sensei wrote "Analina wanted to stay in the baby room, she went to playroom for a little while but got scared when she saw the CLOWN and went back to the baby room...".. It's Kaito's birthday today, but Mommy, 'I don't like the clown, clown go home...'

2005-09-29T07:00:00.000+10:00

Mommy.........! (firm and stern), say 'May I........' .. hehe Mommy was dressing me up and tied my pony tails, she conveniently took the hairband from my accessories box but didn't ask permission! Well, I am a fast learner! She always asking me to ask for permission so I gota make her ask too!

2005-09-29T05:16:00.000+10:00

Sensei wrote "Analina wanted to come to the baby room this morning. She stayed all day and nap long until 12pm for about 2 hrs. She drank alot of water"

2005-09-28T09:47:00.000+10:00

Mommy said, finally camcorder arrived! We missed quite alot so didn't record for Grandma & Grandpa .. mooncake, Leo Palace .. and that time I was saying alot of 'Analina very very hungry', also almost finishing the potty potty process! Started with some exaggerated expression to PP and WW, but now I am almost expert! Mommy had to take me to the loo very often though, sometimes I am not sure, hehe, but most of the time yes I know what's coming! Sometimes I tell Mommy, not yet PP, WW first .. after that I will almost always ask Mommy to clean up, and I will pretend 'flush'.. learned that in school! Oh yeah, Mommy sent me to school today, no more fever ... but still taking antibiotics and cough/cold medicine.. hopefully no more Motrin ... Mommy feels troubled giving me too much Motrin but have to keep fever down.. been taking cold shower too, I don't like it! But Mommy says she's proud of me, I didn't get all rebellious though I do cry alot .. did not 'pak-pak' her also.. but I don't like her pouring the cold water on my body so I tell her 'pok-pok only!' no body!! don't want wash hair!

2005-09-28T05:17:00.000+10:00

Mommy said I am starting to recover but left lips still pain, got an ulcer.. She asked Sensei to give lots of water. Sensei wrote "She had fun today in the playroom. She wants to go outside so she said next time Mommy bring beach shoes...".. Yeah, my Mommy always forget my beach shoes! I didn't get to go today ... :(
