Heart Melting Moments & Little Surprises

Most recent:
1) 03rd July 2009 @ my mum's house - we were about to go when K went to a corner of the bedroom to get me my wristlet and mobile phone. I was so absent-minded....totally forgot about my stuff! Thank you, darling:)

2) 04th July 2009 in the car on our way home from Art Loft - I got choked for no reason and started coughing, face away from K with my mouth covered. K leaned towards me(she was sitting on my lap...okok, I know its illegal but heck!) and patted lovingly on my back. Darling, this little and kind gesture of yours really moved mummy:)

3) 04th July 2009 in our bedroom - Krissa woke up from her 6+pm nap......1st time she woke up from a 6+p.m. nap, normally she'll sleep through the night. In any case, she woke up, saw me entering the room and greeted me with a loud "Hi!", flashed her pearlies and gave me a big hug. She gestured to me that she wanted to play with the toy camera from the ELC sale, so I took the camera and asked her to mimic my actions when I asked her to "smile". She did so very sweetly with her lovely smile........she pointed at both her cheeks with her index fingers, saying "smile" & "cheese"........just the way I wanted her to pose. So sad I have only the toy camera on hand, hopefully she'll reproduce the same pose when posing for the real camera:)

4) Krissa is not fast in the speech department but I'm not at all worried. My friend once told me that she had read from a book that how fast one speaks depends on the rate of development in the muscles around one's mouth and has no connection with a person's intelligience. Krissa's paediatrician also assured me there's no cause for alarm as Krissa was able to look at him in the eyes when he called out her name. Lately, Krissa has managed to verbalise 2 words together e.g. no more, word world(yes! this series of dvd is her current favourite) and surprises us with her vocabulary e.g. change(when she wants to change the colour of her crayons), throw, sure, red, purple, draw etc. Most importantly, she understands instructions and answers with a loud yes/no when I throw a question at her.
