The Things She Say or Does

1. Kyra has got a habit of switching bedtime partners. Yes you heard me right. Not in the perverted sense, she is just 3, for godsakes! What I mean is that she likes to choose between me, her grandma and the maid as to who she would sleep with at night. After lazing about on my bed, she would suddenly say, I want Bibik. Then when I pretend to pout, she would say, Tonite I sleep with Bibik ok, tomorrow I sleep with Mama ok. I would then say, you don't love me. And the little one would convince me by saying, I like you what, tomorrow I sleep with you ok. And after sauntering off to her Bibik, she would repeat the same conversation with her Bibik, asking to sleep with her grandma. And yes, she does the same thing with grandma, closing the circle with me. Haha!

2. Whenever me and hubby are in our childish moods, we would start pinching or poking each other where it hurts. And if hubby is winning, I just have to call out my 2 bodyguards, and they would come running to my cries of help. Instantly, they would be in their "Kungfu Panda" mode and start hissing and roaring at their daddy. My girl would actually put on an angry face, and with her hands on her hips, she would say, Ayah, why you pinch Mama?! Then she would stroke my hand or leg where it hurts and sayang me, while giving her daddy a piercing look. Kyle would suddenly turn into a kungfu master and do all kinds of stunts! So hilarious!

3. Anything she does not like, she would use this phrase "cos its not my favourite". For example, when I am choosing clothes for her, she will refuse to wear certain ones, and when I ask why, she would answer "cos its not my favourite". She has a thing for spagetti straps tops, which she affectionately calls "shame shame" shirt. She is already eyeing those shoes which has heels, which I doubt there is a size for her till she hits 7 years of age. And yes, she loves walking about in my heels.

4. She hates tying up her hair!! When she was younger, I was waiting for her hair to grow out so that I can start using all those adorable clips and rubber bands. But now I am unable to lay my hands on those gorgeous curls at all! She only likes hairbands and prefers to hair to be free. Sigh....I am so deprived of Barbie dolls I think.

Isn't she gorgeous? Hubby keeps saying that he is worried that she would grow up and have lots of boyfriends.

But I think she is too smart for that :)

Girl Bonding at The Pool

This is what we gals do when Kyle is having his swimming lessons and hubby is doing his laps. Just hanging out.

Unlike her brother, she is still wary of the water and will cry if I bring her to the middle of the pool. She rather stay at the side, feeling safe and contented with just splashing around in the shallow waters.

It's fine by me and we play there together, often playing pretend where she is washing my hair and having coffee/tea using the swimming board as a table.

Hopefully over time, she will overcome her fear of the deep water and I can then enroll her into the swimming school next year.
