Home is still the best

Today I am finally staying at home. Home is always better. I eat well and sleep well. Papa feed me this morning, but after that I am happy that Mama let me drink directly from her at noon. I am happy and I slept for 4 hours. After the next meal, I sleep again. So happy… Finally no more cries from my baby friends to disturb me.

I hope I will still be able to sleep well tonight.

Mama looks different

Mama has changed me to a half day afternoon session so that she can spend me time with me. In the afternoon she put me to school and went off. She came back at 7pm, and I am the last baby to go home again. Her hair looks curly and has a funny smell but she look good! I hear her tell Papa that she spent $12 to cut her hair, $100 to do colouring and highlight, $30 for treatment and $26 for a hair cream. Wow it’s $168 but she is happy and she look good so I’m happy too.

I did not sleep well in school today. Guess what, I knocked out from 9pm after drinking my milk and I did not wake up until Mama woke me up at 6.30am in the morning. We continued sleeping until 9am. Papa Mama and me all had a good sleep last night.

I go to Mama's school – 17 May

Second day at the infant care. Mama left me there and went away in the morning, she told the teachers that she will be fetching me at 3pm to go to her university workplace. Teacher Jennifer is not around today and Lin Lao Shi takes care of me. Mama teach her how to bathe me, but I do not like her way. I scream until Mama takes over. I still like Mama to bath me.

Mama came at 3pm to bring me home. It was raining so heavily that I got a bit wet even being tightly wrapped up in the sarong. Lin Lao Shi did not feed me at 2pm, but Mama was already late. Mama took me home to take the cakes and call a taxi. She used both hands to carry the cakes but I feel safe in the sarong. I am independent, I do not need to be carried by her hands.

When we reached the school, Uncle Matthew, Uncle Lee, Uncle Melvin, Auntie Siew Eim and Auntie Irene all came down to help Mama carry the cakes up to the office. I saw Mama’s boss, he looks nice. So many people carry me and I like. Mama keep talking to other people and leave me with all the Aunties and Uncles. I also saw Uncle Brian who came over the last time to our house.

I go to school – 16 May

Mama has put me in infant care because she want some time on her own before she goes back to work. She has only 3 more weeks left. So far the past 9 weeks she has spent with me at home, doing housework and carrying me when I cry and cannot sleep.

There are many little friends at school. I am the youngest and Isabelle is second at 5.5 months old. There are 7 altogether in the class with Teacher Jan, Teacher Jennifer, Teacher Rebecca and Lin Lao Shi. I like Teacher Jennifer and I finished all the 3 bottles of 90ml milk that she feeds me. Now I cannot bully the teachers already like I did with Mama, because my friends cry even louder than me. I cannot sleep in school but I like the music the teacher play for me.

I’m on the move

Papa took leave and rented a car, we went to Bro Shail’s first birthday party on 28 Apr. Mama put me in a sarong so that she can feed me as and when I’m hungry.

Stroller which Auntie Xiaomin gave me. This is used by Bro Shaun and Bro Shail. I do not like to sit in it because it is too upright. But Papa and Mama did not care and pushed me to take MRT to Causeway Point. The road was rough and it was uncomfortable with the up and downs and the humps. But I finally still fell asleep because I have inherited my Mama’s sleeping genes.

My real first month

This is my real first month 22 Apr. Er Jiu sent us a cake to celebrate. The cake taste yummy. How do I know? Mama eat and I taste it in the milk. Believe it or not…

Mama alone

Mama alone will be bathing me after Auntie Guihua goes home. I like Mama to bathe me because she will sing song for me. She says, ‘Baby Xiao Lexiang, chong liang chong xiang xiang’. And like Auntie Guihua she also say ‘zei nen sa, baby zhang zhui bo cheng sa. Zei nen sa si, baby zhang zhui bo dai bo ji’ before putting down into the water. I like..!

When Mama is busy cooking or washing clothes, Papa will put me on the swing beside his table while he plays his computer game.
