Tee, my little pumpkin

Monday, July 21st, 2008“Sorry, I don’t talk to strangers…”
Today, whilst in BV, I dumped Tee on a bench because she wanted to read a Kizsport leaflet announcing their new opening in BV whilst I paid for parking when I heard an elderly lady ask her, “What are you reading, young lady?”
With the look of utter annoyance on her […]
From Tee’s mouth at random….

“Mommy? I wish I could tape your mouth up with cellophane tape so I can do whatever I want.”

4th Birthday Party
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Tee turns four this year and she wants a Hawaiian Hula-Hula themed party after seeing some Hula dancers practising in New York’s Central Park last month. Any ideas anyone???????????????????
She has very specific ideas on what she wants and knows exactly who she wants to invite (a handful of ADULTS!) and where the heck do I find that […]
Before lights out tonight…..

“Mom? I will never, ever, ever, ever…….EVERRRRRRRRRRRR stop loving you.”
*Mommy smiles with light butterlies fluttering around her heart*
“Because you are my big, fat teddy bear.”
*Golf ball sank down Mommy’s throat - GLUPP*
Mmmm…….I guess I’ll take that as a compliment.

Meeting the Yankees for the first time
Saturday, June 21st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Throughout the flight to New York, I hardly slept at all but just TWO half hour naps in between. By then, Mommy and Daddy were feeling a bit rough and considered stuffing my mouth with some socks. And then when we arrived at US immigration in New York City and Mommy saw the longest queue, she decided […]
Tee has a conscience
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Check out my deep sea diver practising in her jacuzzi
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Today, whilst the Hubs and I were both busy on our respective computers, Tee busied herself with my gold and silver baubled ring that I’d flippantly left on our study table. All we remembered were whines that she wanted to play the computer with […]
When the toddler annoys you
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Tee and I have this agreement about music in the car. Mornings are Mommy’s turn to listen to the radio and afternoons are her turn to listen to whatever the hell she wants. She has a furry cow in the car that holds all her audio CDs that she loves picking and choosing from depending […]
New school for Tee
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I suddenly chickened out of Kuen Cheng and decided that it was more important in this world to be really good in English than to be good in Mandarin. All because I found this amazing home school that has produced the finest of pre-schoolers I have ever met. So this is where the creme of the crop […]
Mega stressed Mom
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This always happens when you lack sleep, metamorphosize into an evil bitch. *scowls*
After a late movie night, we woke up late this morning and found that the Hubs had left his precious daughter at home. Wasn’t he supposed to have taken her to school? Fuck, no lie in for me. After bouncing out of bed with […]
Chilli Padi Mouth
Sunday, May 11th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you do not want a child that has a mouth like Tee, then for goodness sake, when you are pregnant, stay clearly AWAY from chillies. I am a chilli freak and am now paying for the consequences.
Here is just one of the many examples of why I feel this way.
Whilst driving in a thunderstorm […]
Getting a toddler out of your bed
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008Our 3.5 year old girl STILL sleeps with us. HELP!!! What strategies would you employ to get her out of your bed? Allow her to cry it out? That would wake the neighbours and seriously, my girl can scream for three hours on and off. *faint* Perhaps we need to look into one of those […]
Tee’s farewell to her beloved teacher…..
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Tee’s nursery teacher left this term for Germany but before that, we showed her how much we were going to miss her. Bright and early in the morning, Tee got all dressed up for her black party at school.
.
The children went onto stage and started a little performance. Can you see my little girl performing???

Here […]
Switching schools
Thursday, May 1st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That’s it. Next week, I’m off to a Chinese preschool to register Tee for Term 3. I’m done with her school. Her old teacher just left and the new teacher is not quite the same, not that she is bad, but I have very high standards. If the school is costing so much, then I have certain […]
I got caught lying!!!
Monday, April 28th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yesterday, we went for a lunch at my Mom’s friend’s house where Tee was the only toddler and needed some drastic entertainment. She kept asking for our phones because she likes to play the games on it but I have been clamping down hard on TV, computers and phone games, not to mention PLAYSTATION portable […]
Toddler swimming skills
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Everyone says that when a baby reaches 6 months old, if you want him/her to be a swimmer, to dunk him into the water. But they don’t tell you exactly how. Do you do it slow motion, do you push her head into the water and pull it out within the second, do you throw […]
The sneaky Tee
Monday, April 21st, 2008Look at this girl……..she can barely skate but she already wants to do some kung fu stunts with her skates. Talk about running before walking………
This week, whilst I was having a shower, Tee ran into the bathroom hurriedly and pulled out a stool which she then slumped into and asked, “Mommy, can I watch you […]
Tee’s magnifying glass
Friday, April 18th, 2008A year ago, Tee learnt about the magical magnifying glass in school and immediately wanted one of her own. And when Tee wants something, she doesn’t stop asking for it till she gets it. (Unless we threaten her with death, not even a lolly would quash her persistence.)
So after a week, we finally went hunting for […]
Tee’s chilli padi mouth
Sunday, April 13th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Hubs was furiously looking for a file this morning which housed Tee’s work from school. I asked him to ask the maid (which we borrowed from my Mom for the weekend) as she would know since she would have been the one to move it. He didn’t want to because explaining that to the […]
