Who’s Dobby and Gollum? Nat and Gigi respectively! Why? Because at 22 months and 15 months, they both act like the characters from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.
Nat is Dobby because she punishes herself when reprimanded, by banging her head backwards or against a sofa, car seat etc. Gigi is Gollum because she has a fascination for rings. One day I handed her my gold wedding band and she refused to let go of it and searched frantically when she thought she dropped it.
Nat currently has a rash on her face, most likely stemming from insect bites. It’s only on the right side, so probably something on a pillow or mattress. But they multiplied and looked angry and red for a while, so we got anti-bacterial cream from a clinic.
She’s starting to assert herself, saying very clearly ‘No, I don’t want’ when she doesn’t want to do or eat something. Her sentences are getting longer like, “Aunty Arlyn wear shoes please!”
We had fireworks a couple of times in the past few weeks and the first time she saw them she was scared. The second time was on Wednesday, there was a 10 min display over Vivocity and she was not too keen on watching, reiterating that she was scared. However the next day and everyday since, she has been asking to ‘see fireworks’ on my digital camera.
While I was away in HCM, she got spoiled…getting to watch DVDs and receiving a bicycle from Mildred.
I was dead set on not getting her a bike till she was at least 3yrs, and had said she was too small but Daddy relented when he saw her on one, claiming she could reach the pedals. But he failed to mention that she couldn’t pedal full circle, her legs are not long enough, she can’t even reach the brake handles or mount the bike herself. Nothing against bikes but they could have at least gotten a more age-appropriate one. They won’t see me encouraging her to get on that bike anytime soon!
The bubbas are in love with Elmo after watching some of his DVDs, another thing I can’t control. I don’t mind Nat watching once or twice, but she’s practically getting a daily dose after mummy discovered what an efficient babysitter the TV is! Harumpff! So much for restricting her TV time.
Gigi’s lower two front teeth are only just starting to break through the gums. Will they be in time for Christmas? Hope so! She’s catching up so fast with her language, saying new words everyday. When she wants food, she’ll come up to you and ask to ‘Try?’. She says ‘Daddy’ very clearly, and a bunch of other words like ‘bed’, ‘ball’, ‘Elmo’ etc.
