Fun After School

Funny Conversation

I was cooking dinner in the kitchen last evening when I overheard this conversation.
Pete was vacuuming the living room when he asked Chloe to excuse him as she was watching telly on the sofa.

Pete: Chloe excuse me..
Chloe: No, eyes glued to the tv
Pete: ok nevermind papa vacuum the sofa k?
Chloe: ok dun clean my legs
Pete: ....

Project DIY?

Saw this on a decor book for kids room & got inspired somehow... eh... will I have time to source for the cute little doll costumes? Will I ever get down to do it? Hmmm...it's so damm cute!

Beach Outing With Ian

Before the long holidays come to an end, Irene suggested a trip to the beach, so the kids could play together. So we headed to the East Coast in the late afternoon after Chloe had a short nap. The weather was fantastically cool & windy.

Pete & I were hoping this trip would be more fun for us, we were silently praying that Chloe would be more relaxed & willing to step onto the beach this time with Ian around. In fact, it started quite okay when Ian held her hands as we strolled towards the beach. It was that far we could go till Chloe stopped on her tracks n simply refused to go any further. It somehow reminded her of the beach trip with me & pete about 2 weeks back. Then all you could see is fear on her face. She just stood rooted on the sand & cried hysterically. Tears streamed down her chubby cheeks till it wet her cute halter top. A non-deliberate push by Ian got her to lose her balance & she fell with her butt on the sand causing her to be in so much distress that she kept asking for me to bao bao her. I felt very much inclined to go to her rescue initially, yet part of me wanted her to be brave & embrace the nature. So I tried as much as I could to persuade her to join in the fun & even demo to her that water will wash away the sand on her feet. Alas, I succumbed to her wailing & that pitiful look on her face begging me to save her!

Bored?

I was cooking in the kitchen with my MIL when I caught Chloe posing in this position this afternoon. She was in this pose for about a min & after I dashed to grab my camera, she decided to cover her face.

It's a hot hot day..

Chloe was quite cranky this afternoon & kept whining & behaving quite irritably till Pete has to distract her by bringing her downstairs for a walk.

Doting daddy came back with a smiling Chloe with a sweet treat!

Surprise!!

Chloe woke up from her nap when she saw Ah ma in the living room. Ah ma had paid us a visit with 2 surprises for Chloe.

Chloe was thrilled as usual when there are surprises for her. Ah ma got Chloe a traditional festive lantern for the coming Mooncake festival. It is in a shape of a fish. Chloe also got a new doll in a pram. She loves putting the pacifier on her baby & pushing her around the house. She would pretend to bring baby to the playground & to the shopping centre. I would entertain her by playing along & giving her the task of 'buying' diapers & milk powder for baby.
