    Helping Mummy marinate a fish……

    “I can feel the scales! I dug into the fish’s mouth and opened it’s gills. I poked the fish’s eyes and stroked it’s tail…….”

      Just showed my Abj what a good helper she is! I too just luv that cute full of attention face. It’s gr8 that u r teaching her at this young age. Me & boys baked banana muffin for bfast last weekend.

      Hiya, I’m not really teaching her consciously la…she is only doing it cuz’ I have no maid! So she actually does make herself useful, hahaha…..don’t report me, ah? Wow……banana muffins……..*sniff,sniff* Should attempt some baking this weekend.

      Awwww, these pictures bring back memories of my daughter when she was your daughter’s age. She would help po-po (grandma) in her kitchen peeling garlic and breaking the heads of beans….but no fish.

      Great motor skills!

      Hi Judy, nice reminiscing…..how old IS your daughter? Well, I’m waiting to see is this is a lifelong habit or a just for now thrill….yeah, her motor skills are doing good. Not so much her hearing skills and obeying. LOL

      so cute!! “child labor” … HAHAHHAHA
      I bet the fish was delish : )

      Yes! Don’t report me, Shhh…….yes, we steamed the fish and Daddy said it was a good fish, till I showed him the pictures. Then he had a horrified look and suddenly the fish didn’t go down so well. Hahaha….

      oh i look forward to the days when cairo can help me do house chores. must show this post to her. “Cairo, see Tee jeh jeh…..”

      tee is brave yah? i dare not touch raw fish unless they’re in the form of fillet oredi :p i guess must start them young, before they even start using the word yuck, hahaha

      Actually, she hesitated when she first saw it. But I smiled and said, go on….I do regret passing my fear of cicaks to her. Last time, she was cool with lizards but ever since she saw me behave like ‘when you do when you see a King Cobra coming towards you’, she also started screaming everytime she sees one. *sigh*

      Eh, aunty here need a good kitchen helper too. My kitchen helper always like to run away.

      Heh, I’m sure she’d love to help but I think once she sees your kids, she’ll be running away with them!

      Tee is such a good kitchen helper! She’s so adorable.

      Yes, really saves me some time. We must meet soon. I am so sure the girls will get along really well.

      My daughter turned 18 in June 07. Hahaha, yes I am old already!

      What reminds me most of my daughter is that photo of Tee fully immersed in concentration peeling the skin off the garlic. If she is anything like my daughter, I think she would not like to see even a little speck of skin on the garlic. Right? :)
