#18 Little Twinkle - "I don't want everybody"

Last night before sleep, I was trying to teach Little Twinkle to be appreciative for little things that people did for her...

Me: "God - ah ma made this blanket for you because she loves you. Next time when you see her, you should say thank you."
Little Twinkle: ...
Me: "姑姑 buys this aeroplane for you because she loves you and dotes on you."
Little Twinkle: (appears to have made some conclusion in her small mind and appeared upset) "I don't want everybody. I want mummy loves me daddy loves me. I want two only. I don't want everybody." ( she replied in a whining and troubled tone)
Me: ... (startled and not knowing how to respond)
Me: "Hmmm it's normal for family members to love you and dotes on you..."
Little Twinkle: (sounds more troubled) "noooo, I don't want everybody. I want mummy I want daddy. Two."

Heart melts. Mummy and Daddy loves you too. :)

#17 Little Twinkle - First tinge of science knowledge

Just this morning....

Twinkle: Mummy,  my heart here (she points to her left chest where the heart is)
Mummy:... (I was surprised and didn't know how to respond for a while)
Twinkle: Mummy heart here (she continues to point to my left chest where the heart is)
Mummy: wow it's amazing that you know. Who taught you?
Twinkle: my heart beat beat beat (and she makes the heart thumping sound)

I was speechless. Not sure was that from cartoon or school, but I definitely didn't expect that.

Little Twinkle #15 - She actually wants to be a BOY!!

Your browser doesn't support the video tag

Initially I thought perhaps she may not really understand that there's a difference between boy and girl (although she does know how to differentiate "didi", "korkor" aka brother vs "meimei", "jiejie" aka sister ).

 

So I told her that mummy (me) is a girl, but Little Twinkle insisted being a BOY! Haha what can I say when she's so persistent...

Little Twinkle #14 - Sweet way of feeding medication

"Little Twinkle" is down with running nose, so I had to feed her medication (Zygtec) last night before her bedtime.

 

I filled up the syringe with her medication and tried to feed her...

 

Upon seeing me approaching with the syringe, she immediately lied down on the bed and turned her back towards me, then said "sleep sleep". Indicating that she was going to sleep and thus can't take medication.

 

I tried to play with her, she giggled and turned around to face me. Then I said "oh "little twinkle" is awake now! Now u can have your medication right?"

 

And she immediately giggled and turned her back towards me again, saying "sleep sleep".

 

We tried a few more rounds and she always ended up rejecting my medication by saying "sleep sleep".

 

Then i thought "oh no, looks like there's no way to let her take medication..."

 

Out of desperation, I faked a cry.... not knowing how and whether she will respond to my cries.

 

Her face suddenly turned concerned. She sat up and said "eat eat", followed by opening her mouth for me to feed her with the medication.

 

Wow I never ever expected that... !!!!

 

I fed her the medication without any struggle or resistance or cries from her. It's like a breeze.

 

After feeding, i said to her "thank you for helping mummy to give u medication so easily, mummy appreciates that very much"

 

And she gave me an ultra radiant smile as thought she understood me. *felt sweetness in my heart*

(P.S: This post has been kept in my drafts for months, and I have only realised today that it has not been posted. LOL.)
