Scenario : Reminding mommy
She knows Anita (our baby sitter) will bring Phoebe to National Museum tomorrow. In her room, she shouted and want to talk to me. I went over and ask what happened. She said :
EeRynn : Mommy, EeRynn go to Museum ah?
Mommy : Yes, Auntie Anita will bring EeRynn & Phoebe to National Museum
EeRynn : Mommy, EeRynn can wear pink colour shoes?
Mommy : Yes, if you want to wear.
EeRynn : Yes, EeRynn want to wear pink colour shoes. Mommy, remember to pack into paper bag OK? With EeRynn soup, food, fish cake, cakes (she had these for her meal today) also into paper bag OK?
Mommy : OK EeRynn (chuckled)
Scenario : EeRynn asked her daddy for help
EeRynn : Daddy open this.. ( She ask her daddy to unfold the ship she fold earlier )
Daddy ; It's already open. ( Her daddy was assuring her the ship is open & in good shape )
EeRynn : She start to raise her voice. Daddy open.
Daddy : You mean, open it.
EeRynn : Yes!
Daddy : Oh, you want to un fold the ship.
EeRynn : Yes, huh, this daddy, EeRynn want to open also don’t understand.
Ben & Me chuckle again. :>

Scenario : Showing her care
It's a routine to read story to EeRynn before she sleep. Tonight I show her the scar on my knee ( snatch thief last month ). When she saw it, immediately she shows her compassion face and goes near my knee and blows on the scar. I used to do the same action when she had wound on her knee. Wow, I am very happy. After that, she asked : mommy, still pain pain? I answered, not anymore.
I want to thank God for His blessing that EeRynn understand caring for other people at such a young age.
Scenario : Sleeping routine
After reading her story book, she will off the light. And as usual, she will call me from her room so I can give her attention.
This time, she wants to sit on my lap so I can tell her another story. I was brushing my teeth to get ready to bed. She walked out from her room and stood in our room. She said : EeRynn want to wait for mommy in mommy daddy room. Mommy : EeRynn, wait for mommy in your room.
She was reluctant and stood near me (outside the bathroom door). As I insisted, she grudgingly walked back to her room. After a few second, she came back and said : EeRynn can wait in this room? It's a room too. I almost laugh, but I insisted her to go back to her room.
She's full of trick! She is creative with her answer. And it makes sense because mommy daddy room is a room too.

Story of EeRynn
6th September 2010
Scenario : Fetching her from Anita's house
She was playing 'masak-masak'. I tried to convince her to leave so we can have dinner. She was reluctant. She insisted to stay & continue playing. Eventually, I convinced her to leave and intent to help her clean her mess. As I put the little cutlery & plate back to where it should be, she ask 'Why mommy do that'? She was angry as I helped her packed. She took the little cutlery & plate out. She mumble, huh, dunno why mommy do that?
I was puzzle with her reaction for a while. Then, I realized she repeating what I said about her. Hahaha. At home, when she did something not right, I always asked : EeRynn, why do you do that?
Scenario : In the car after dinner.
We are on our way to bakery shop. Anita will bring EeRynn to National Museum tomorrow. I decided to buy bread to toast bread for EeRynn. Along the way, I told EeRynn to stay in the car with daddy. When we reach the bakery, she immediately took out her buckle and ask her father : Daddy, can EeRynn go down with mommy. We discussed and we allowed her to followed me to bakery. Immediately she said this : This mommy, EeRynn want to go down also cannot, huh..
Ben & myself chuckled.
Scenario : EeRynn reluctant to drink milk
EeRynn is reluctant to drink milk again. The milk is ready on the table. It has been 2 nights she struggle with her father, delaying the duration. I sat her down and ask, why don't you drink yr milk, EeRynn? She didn’t reply.
I told her I gave her 5 minutes to finish her milk and she happily tells her father to wait for 5 minutes. Her father corrected her by telling her that mommy want her to finish her milk in 5 minutes and not wait for another 5 minutes. She chooses not to drink her milk.
We learnt at parenting class to give our child choices. So I ask, do you want to drink milk or stand at corner (punishment)? I ask her again : Do you want to drink milk? She said 'no'. So I ask, do you want to stand at corner? She said 'no' too. So I told her I helped her decide: I bring her to stand at the corner. She cried.
Once again, I feel bad about myself. I make her cried again. Huh.. This is the internal struggle in me. Sometime I asked myself whether I am too controlling. Then, I look at the situation again : It’s about setting the habit of drinking milk before sleeping. So I am not wrong. Furthermore, I didn’t hurt her physically.
Eventually, in her crying voice she said, mommy, EeRynn want to drink milk. So I bring her back to sofa and pass the cup to her. She continues to cry. Then she said: Let EeRynn stop crying first before I can drink milk.
Ben & me chuckle again. She is so sweet
