Singing songs most of the time...

She's been singing songs as she wakes, though she does cry when Mummy doesn't come in after a while, and when she's just toddling around the house.

Her favourites at the moment include:
Chop chilli chop
San Zhi Lao Hu
Gege Baba Zhen Wei Da
She'll be coming round the mountain
And a Cha Cha Choo Choo song that Mummy has yet to learn.

Last Friday, Teacher Soundhri says she cried at the playground and immediately, 2 boys came to her aid, each holding one of her hands and escorting her to the teacher. How sweet :)

Missed spying her in school. The load at work is getting heavier as 1 valuable team member transfers out tomorrow. Sigh. I'll only be able to spy at lunch or tea time then!

Mummy, *muAck*... Painful... "Papa sleep there..." "Papa sit there..."

Yesterday, we were watching the new Shanghai Bund, starring Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung.
 
Mummy cried at the shooting of Andy, Ding Lik, by Leslie's partner, who thought Andy had killed Leslie.
 
When Ning Ning saw Mummy's eyes full of tears, she smiled came over, smack right into my face, one big kiss, *muAck*.
 
Mummy laughed and smiled immediately. Lovely.
 
She can now say "painful" quite clearly and point to where it is painful and ask Mummy to kiss and make it better.
 
Yesterday, she kept pointing to her right big toe, and saying, "painful". It was a little red and the skin was peeling. I'm wondering if the shoes are too tight.
 
There... a very communicative Ning.
 
She also woke up in the middle of the night, said, "Papa sleep there", around 04:30hrs and passed motion. She wouldn't go back to sleep until "Papa sleep there." So Mummy went out to ask Papa to sleep on his single mattress and Mummy with Ning on the double mattress. Mummy snores. That's why Papa's sleeping in the guest room.
 
She's also been pointing to empty MRT seats and saying, "Papa sit there".
 
I love to play with Ning.
 
I think of her even when I'm at work.
