My Darling Daughter,
Another month has passed yet again and you are now two months shy of your second birthday. I will try my best to sort out preparations for your birthday party soon. We will have a bouncer, a pool and a variety of food while being surrounded by your loved ones!
Hari Raya this year fell on a Friday, 10th September. Since that day, your favourite word has been "Shhuuueeet". This month you have also shown us one of your many talents, singing as well as making up your own song! Sometimes we would catch you just doddling about and humming or singing to yourself. We caught you singing "Daddy, Daddy, Mummy...". When your abang Irshad was at the house the other day, I asked you to sing Irshad a song and you stalled for a while then started to sing, "Abang abang abang~" It seems like you are very attached to your abang Irshad. That same night I can just remember you walking around the living room holding your abang's hand and looking up at him. I thought it was just too adorable! I think he wanted to hang out with his brothers in the game room after that but when he let go of your hand and tried to persuade you to go into the game room with him, you pulled a long face, ran over to me and started crying and kicking. You have become a very sensitive toddler now. I guess its part of growing up.
On the 5th Day of Raya you went over to Aa'ee Vivi's house for a Raya breakfast. Your daddy told me you were playing with Irshad and either pinched or scratched his cheeks. He was about to cry but lucky your daddy told him you didn't mean it. I think you were just so "gerigitan" with him. But nevertheless, I still thought I needed to give you a pep-talk on what you did. At home, daddy told me all about it and I called you to my room to sit on my lap. You willingly did so and cutely answered my question when I asked where you had been earlier on. "Abang Irshad" was your answer. Then I asked you, did you hurt abang irshad? Did you scratch his face? Then you looked at me, thinking what to answer then you looked at your daddy. Haha. I could imagine you were probably thinking Daddy was a tattle taler for telling me. But you finally answered me and said, "abang irshad cry". I don't know if you did understand me, but it was worth a try to explain to you that what you did was wrong because you hurt abang irshad and you made him cry. That night and the next day, all you said was, "Abang akit, kish". Translated, that meant, "I hurt Abang Irshad. Can we go see him so I can kiss his cheek?" hehe. A couple of days after, she saw her Abang Irshad and all was well again.
Your Nanny has taught you the "Head Shoulders, knees & Toes" song...and everytime she sings it, you will just say the last words, like "Tooes" and "Nose"...The same thing happens when I sing the Barney song. Haha. Lately you have a fascination with keys! Everytime we leave the house, you ask for the house keys. Last week I asked you what you had in your hands. From the backseat you shouted "KEYS". Then I asked, what are they for, and you replied, "Open Door". It was the way you said that cracked me up. Sounded like you were french!
You are now a sensitive young lady and cry easily if we scold you. You have a love for "stickers" which you pronounce as 'tickers', you love riding in your little tikes car as you think you can now "drive", another word you have learnt over the past month and you now know that there is money in those green packets. Cheeky sometimes when you actually ask for money. Must teach you not to do that.
You surprised me last week though, when we were at your Grandma's house. Since they were away, we went over to check on the house. You were looking at the fish and kept saying, "Mamam fish, mamam fish". I didn't know where the fish food was so I said we would feed the fish when grandpa gets back. You still insisted on mamam-ing the fish and pointed to the cupboard. I checked the cupboard and you were right, the fish food was in the cupboard. Now Grandpa can rely on you to feed his fish when he goes away next time!
Love you princess!
xoxo
