21 Months todayDear Lil'Miss Mia,
You are 21 months today and Masyallah, you are growing. You are now one talkative lil toddler and you have had all sorts of antics. One day last month you started to do the "electrified" look in the mirror. Thank God that didn't last long. You looked funny when you did it and it absolutely cracked me up. That same weekend Daddy was away so we made Batik cake for Auntie Mamah. When it chilled you had your first bite and I'm positive you loved it! Just like mummy! The next day, we prepared your dinner consisting of rice and chicken but you refused to eat and cheekily asked for "Sup" instead. I had to quickly make soup for you so you would be full before bedtime. That Sunday, we met up with your Grandpa at the tyre shop to do mummy's tyres. Then we all went to Mall Manggis. Your grandpa brought you to the toy section and the moment you saw the baby alive doll, you said "Wowww". Your grandpa couldn't resist and ended up buying it for you. Since then you have been feeding your baby doll and changing her pampers...often sampai the sticker on the pampers won't stick anymore!
The following week you attended your first kindermusik class with Teacher Deon. Co-incidently, the music school is located just in front of your Uncle Ayah's house. Grandma accompanied us during your first class and your face lit up when she walked through the door. It was a nice experience to see how you would react in front of a class full of kids. You reminded me of your Daddy when he attends functions in a room of people he doesn't know. Very quiet and reserved. I guess it takes you time to charge-up then you take after mummy. You become a little socialite! The kindermusik class isn't just a normal music class, it helps teach you to learn new words to extend your vocabulary and understand commands. And after one class, you learnt a new word. I caught you stomping on the bed saying "march, march". Then a couple of nights after that, I told you to switch on the bedroom lamp but it wouldn't come on, so I told you to switch on the plug, and you did do so. Music class has taught you to understand my commands.
Last month we received an Akira stereo as a lucky draw gift during their annual dinner. We decided to put it in your room so you can listen to the radio. Ever since we set it up, it has mostly been on the "Al-quran" channel. Funnily enough, since then, you now sleep really soundly in your room during nap time and you don't cry when I leave you upstairs alone while I go to the kitchen. I just hear you shout "mummy, mummy" to make sure i'm still downstairs and not outside..haha. The other day we were out, just the two of us and I had Maher Zain's song on and was singing away. You joined in singing "Insyallah" but only singing the "Awwah" and the "wayyyy" part. It was too too cute! On one of the days, I was sitting on the bed watching TV and you were beside me. I caught you holding your hands up in a scooped manner and assumed you were trying to perfect your "Do'a" hands then you started doing your "Amin" correctly in front instead of sideways! Excellent my love!
The Sunday before the Ramadhan began, we were invited by Zane & his mama to their pool party. It was a nice and intimate gathering. And you were in the paddling pool nearly all afternoon. The next day you had diarrhea and felt feverish. I assume you drank too much pool water which you often like to do. Due to your sensitive skin, you started getting a diaper-rash. It was the worst one ever. It came to a point where I decided you were not to wear pampers and so I let you walk around the house with just panties. Everytime you looked like you wanted to do a number two, which was obvious as you would start crying, I would quickly put you on the toilet. We did this until your rash subsided. I thought I would be able to kill two birds with one stone and potty train you in the process, but I was wrong.
Since you have the Barbie cartoon collection, you have become a ballerina. I ask you to do the ballerina dance and you would swirl, dance around and around on your tip toes with your arms up high. Must send you to Ballet class when you are abit older. The other day Daddy asked you how much did you love him, you replied "Much" with your arms wide open! Sometimes you say the cutest things. Recently I accidentally hit my elbow on the table and you just looked at me and said "Dum dum"...Cheeky monkey!
Its nice to hear your vocabulary increasing. Besides learning the word "March" at music class, you have also learned to say "MILK" when you want your bottle of milk and Stuck when you get stuck..hehe. As for parts of your body, you now know where your armpits are! Yesterday, you saw a white car pass us by on the road, pointed and said 'daddy', then you saw a red vitara pass by and said 'mummy'. It took me awhile to realize you were associating the passing cars with the same colours as ours. I think its time to teach you colours!
Before it slips my mind, if you ever read this, I want you to know I apologize if you grow up to be a neat freak like mummy. You have already been showing signs like picking bits off my blouse, especially if I'm wearing black and you have started tucking things away neatly in your drawer in my room. At least I know you'll be a tidy kid! Talking about drawers, I love it when we are about to go out and I would tell you to get your shoes. You would run to your room, open the bottom drawer and choose the shoes you want to wear. If you're in a nice dress, you normally take out your hari raya shoes which I put back. If we're just nipping out, I would tell you to wear sandles and you choose between your sandles or your crocs. What makes this rirual even cuter is the fact that you open your top drawer to take your socks, after you have picked your shoes! It won't be long now and you'll be dressing yourself...sigh...
Love you loads baby girl
