My forever baby

I've always thought that my little girl is still like a baby and is not ready for a lot of things. However, recently I realized that I am the one who is not ready at all. Seeing her everyday, I did not notice how tall she had grown, how much she had developed. Suddenly she do not need me to put on her shoes for her, do not need me to change her diaper. She starts to talk back at me, throwing my words back at me. She is longer baby, she is a child.

Sometimes after I scolded her, she'll say, "Mummy, I don't like you anymore." Though she don't really mean it, I still feel a little sad to hear that. Soon she will really not need anymore. Her friends will hold a higher priority in her heart. Soon her own family will be all that she thinks about. My own parents went through this. I'm going to miss the baby her when that happens.

Still I want to give the best to her. She is my baby, forever.

My Lil Ariel has grown up and getting married!

nah... I'm exaggerating. but she is really growing at a very fast rate until I having some hard time adjusting to it. at the same time I am proud of her. As a very lazy mummy, I had been procrastinating to a point of don't-intend-to toilet-train her and teach her to wear her own shoes.

Few months ago, when I was helping her to wear her shoes, she suddenly told me she wanted to do it all by herself. I was like, oh.. okay. she put the shoe one the wrong leg, so I told her that it is the wrong one. she changed it to the other leg and she wore the shoes all by herself! I did not teach her!

Then when I wanted to wear her pants/skirts, she insisted to do it all by herself.

just last week, she suddenly told me she don't want to wear diapee (her way of saying diaper) anymore. I had my reservations about that, but she insisted. So I gave it a try, she managed to stay diapee-less for 1/2 day without accident. Then 2 nights ago, she told me she don't want to wear it to sleep and she really did it. she did not wake up to go toilet too!! still keeping my fingers crossed.

I love my gal!! I thank God for her.

Ariel has started her potty-training... finally

I had wanted to start putting her on potty quite some time ago, but by the time I placed her on the potty, she had pee-ed in her diaper. last week, she suddenly told me she wanted to pee in the potty. as usual I thought there would be no output. I WAS WRONG! she really pee-ed. I was so happy. then the second time she told me she wanted to do it was at night. being a lazy Mummy, I told her that she can pee in her diaper (I was lazy to carry her to the toilet when I was nua-ing on the bed). however, she insisted on going to the toilet. I guess when she see her classmates do that in school, she wanted to follow as well.

anyway, I found myself screaming at Lil Ariel very often, even at little mistakes. a lot of things I my mind which I cannot get definite answers. then poor Lil Ariel get it from me. I must keep reminding myself not to do that again.

Naive Ariel

Lil Ariel had been quite afraid of the dark recently. she was not like this last time. so my MIL tried to assure her that she don't have to be afraid, cuz we are with her. she also added that Lil Ariel's guardian angel is watching behind her. Lil Ariel quickly turned and look behind, asking "Where?" -_-

Mummy's new toes

Lil Ariel saw my newly-painted toenails and said this, "Mummy wash wash. Mummy's toes drop. Cherry sweep sweep. Mummy bought new ones." -_- it really sound gross that my toes dropped.
