Min Min you are turning three so fast and time really flies.

It has been so long we have not updated your blog understand that it is a lousy to give that we are busy mainly due to the arrival of you little sister Shermaine it did take up some of our time.

During those past months you have been having some emotional changes and you seem to want more of mummy attention which is understandable. Not to worry mummy will be with you thou at times I tend to lose my cool and punish you not because you are naughty just that I need to make you understand.

All in all you have been an extremely well behaviour girl in mummy eyes you are always the best.

Papa, fly off to USA on 09 August 2009 from then it is only mummy, you and sister. There are times you are hard to handle especially when it come to bed time coz you are so use to bedtime story, which is a good thing just that mummy is busy at that time as well coz mummy need to coax mei mei to sleep but we have no over come this and are able to work out fine. You have learn over time and is helping mummy to look after mei mei when mummy go for her toilet break, well done my girl.

It is your 3rd years old birthday and papa is still in USA so mummy will plan out your birthday celebration and bring you out for some fun. It would be a good challenge for mummy coz we relay a lot on papa but nothing is impossible for my daughter.

We are a family.

We are sisters.

Happy New Year 2009 and you are 28 months old!

We have step into a New Year, another year has gone by.

What have you done last year, have you been good or bad? What have you learned and gained in 2008?

Let’s take a stroll back in times and see. . .

You were playing with papa on the bed and you fall and had a bad cut with bruises on your forehead but you heal well with no scar on your forehead.

Started your half-day child care classes in September 2008 with lots of tears but you have over come it bravely and is coping well in class. Well done my darling daughter!

Being sick is part and parcel of life journey. What papa and mummy need to do is to focus on educating you some personal hygienic and build up your immune system which you can take along with you for life; prevention is always better than cure.

Falling down from running is rather common in your case because you have taken after your mummy genes of being clumsy, your mummy has fallen down even just by walking on a flat street, so don't expect much.

Things you love to do with papa; painting, drawing, story telling, swimming, hide and seek, going to playground, watching DVD on papa’s laptop, etc.

Things you love to do with mummy; sleeping, hugging, feeding, dressing you up, singing, chatting before bed time, etc.

We have managed and successfully cut you off from your pacifier the next big thing will be your thumb sucking which I strongly discourage from the start but was not taken into ears.

You are doing well in toilet training but there are still times which you miss due to your playfulness and stubbornness as well.

You are able to communicate rather well for a two years old and will argue / rebuke back at times. You are learning fast with quick thinking, there are times you took us by surprise with your vocabularies and replied.

You start to have lots of “creative ideas” which leads to some mischievous act; it can be both funny and angry being your parents we need to put a stop to it when necessary even thou it may seem rather harmless and funny. We definitely do not want you to have the wrong impression and values of input.

You are now in the stages of learning just like a sponge that will absorb whatever that goes around you and react to what you come in contact with e.g. words, action, behaviour, tonality of speech, etc. With all of these going on around you, papa and mummy need to ensure that you are learning the correct stuff and also the values and meaning of respect, mannerism, behaviour, etc. before it gets out of hands. Mummy has been very strict with you these days especially when you refuse to follow or listen to the rules being set down. I don't expect much just hope that you will be able to understand why and hopefully gain lots of it as you grow up to be fine lady with great charisma.

We have brought you a big Barney as your Christmas present. You love it so much that you sleep with it every night and will ask for it the minute you open your eyes and you even chat with Big Barney more than you chat with us!

Overall you have been the highlight of papa and mummy’s life since the day you were born. In another few weeks times we are expecting the arrival of your younger sister and hopefully you will love her as we have loved you and of course the love and attention for you will not be any lesser it will just multiply as love have no limit and boundary.

As your parents we hope for nothing much just the well being of your health and a happy family. Togetherness we will go through all times be it good or bad.

模仿期

敏敏已经进入了她的模仿期和叛逆期，开始有样学样和懂得顶嘴。这段时候的学习和模仿能力是最强的也是最重要的。爸爸的举止言行都会影响敏敏将来的性格。以下为例：




爸爸： 敏敏，去冲凉。
敏敏： 不要。
爸爸： 乖，听话，快。
敏敏： 不要听话！
爸爸： 快点，爸爸打屁股。
敏敏： 不要爸爸打屁股，DON ‘T WANT！
爸爸： 不要就快点。
敏敏： 不要冲凉！DON’T WANT！
爸爸： U Don’t Complaint! Hurry Up!
敏敏: Papa, U don’t Complaint!
爸爸: U Papa or I Papa! I listen to u or U listen to me!
敏敏: U Papa…Papa U don’t complaint!

妈妈在客厅听了已经笑翻了肚子。。。

爸爸，敏敏上学了

经过了两个月，敏敏已经习惯了学校的环境。(虽然妈妈并不大满意你这么小就上学。)

To Sherilyn with Love From Mummy

Hi Sherilyn,

It has been a month since you started your half day play school and you are still crying every morning.

It is with a heavy heart every morning bringing you to school seeing you cried and shouting for mummy, I felt so heart ache. At times I thought maybe I am just being overly protective or paranoid nevertheless my heart ache the moment you shout for mummy and I blame myself for not being able to stop work to look after you full time. I know it is not healthy at my current state but I really hate to see those tears rolling down your chubby cheeks non-stop.

I keep asking just this question “Why and purpose of the half day, will it make a genius out of her?” I still remember your first day at school when I see you cried non-stop my heart ache and the moment I open the school door to hug you I myself cried as well. Is it really necessary for you to be in school at this age? What good and impact does it has on you by sending you to school at this earlier stage in life? Mummy really felt so helpless coz it is a decision that mummy has no say similar to most of it as well as the choice of school.

Just mummy personal opinion, I would prefer you going to school when you are mentally ready. You have the next 10 or 15 years to be in school studying, not sure why you need to start so early in life. My person view, from the age 1 to 5 is play time and that is the best time of your life and not to traumatize you.

Sorry for all the tears and saddest given to you every morning. Just hope that with all that you will grow up stronger to be a more independent child and mummy only wish is that you do not pick up any of those bad habit or behavioural from school.

Sherilyn, remember this : No matter what mummy loves for you has never change and it will grow stronger by days and mummy will be always be with you and never abandon you.

Mummy always loves you; my daughter, Sherilyn.

妈妈的背影

第一天带敏敏上托儿所，

妈妈依依不舍的站在托儿所外看着敏敏。看到女儿因为新的环境而哭闹，妈妈眼角还泛着一点泪光。

妈妈的背影充份的流露出伟大的母爱。

敏敏两岁了

老套一句：时光匆匆，又过一年，敏敏又长大一岁了。看着你一天一天的成长，一天一天的长高，从你只会哇哇大哭到你现在开始叫爸爸，妈妈，喃喃自语，个中充满了喜怒哀乐。有时爸爸妈妈会因为你的妙语联珠和古灵怪犒的莫明其妙，有时也会为了你的任性和胡闹而打你的屁股。



爸爸这几年忙忙碌碌，从和妈妈结婚，装修房子，妈妈怀孕到你出生到爸爸的事业的起起落落和转变，有时静下来着着你的成长是一种享受，一种成就，一种欣慰。

生日快乐，我的女儿。爸爸会永远守护你，永远在你身边，告诉你：敏敏不怕，爸爸在 。
