Rabbit

Ever kid has their moments of insisting on eating a certain food(nothing else will do), wearing a certain piece of clothing or playing a certain toy. Today dd insisted on wearing a 'rabbit' shirt which got dh puzzled since we can't remember ever having any 'rabbit' shirt. We allowed her to rummage her wardrobe when lo and behold, she pointed out this pink romper which she hasn't worn for the longest time and which did have a rabbit on it! Naturally, she was most pleased.

Bag

Whats this cute 'bear' bag for ? Its super soft and well padded ...

Its our camera bag ! To replace those dorky black camera bags =P

Independence

DD hasn't succeeded in putting on her own clothes. She has no problem taking off her own panties/ trousers and shirt. But putting them back on is a total different challenge.

One thing I am most happy about is her being able to put on her own shoes (for practical reasons). Gets her out from under our feet whenever we are just about to step out of the house and getting ourselves ready.

These days with her sitting by herself on the pot, we have done away with her potty completely. Too bad she still needs supervision to clamber onto the pot =).

Addition

About a month ago, dd surprised us by doing her 1+1, 1+2, 1+3 sums correctly all the way to 1+14. After 1+14, she invariably ends up giggling =P.

And since sm has started teaching the kiddos additons since 2 weeks back, I decided to buy this set of "my first sums" for dd even tho' the recommended age stated on the box is only from '4 years' onwards.

BBQ

Our turn to host a cousins' party: a BBQ ! Proscuitto ham with melon, salad, prawn verde and roast pork were some of the ready cooked starters for the evening. Paper plates and cups were allowed after much persuasion and dh finally agreed not to use his matching crockery and WMF cutlery. But the crystal wine glasses could not be foregone as he refused to use the plastic disposable wine glasses. Whats for mains? The BBQ spread : Tiger prawns, sambal stingray, sambal squid, mackerel otah, prawn otah, sambal lady's finger, huge bockwursts, gourmet meats, weiners, etc. Everything was neatly pre-packed in aluminium foil to facilitate the barbequeing process - no mess! The Bar : moscato, red wines, sparkling wines, corona beer, budweiser, OJ, apple juice and mineral water. The huge prawns neatly marinated and skewered in a rowA roaring fire handled by all the good chefs in the family While the rest wined and dined in airconditioned comfortThe eldestThe youngest
