Now that Shannon older, canning & scolding is part of the discipline act when she's naughty. After the session, we will reinforce that we still love her no matter what.

However, we seem to have reinforce this abit too much. Recently, when we scold her, she will react by saying "Shannon naughty, mummy also love right?

Parenting is such a tricky issue! Sign...

In conjunction with the Hari Raya Holiday, we planned a trip to Cameron Highlands with Aunty Suzie n family & our cell group members. The children enjoyed themselves esp Shannon who could eat tibits almost everyday.

Day 0
After dinner..R & R at the resort after a long drive (8 hrs!) up to Cameron.


Day 1
Visit to Strawberry Farm, Tea Planation & Honey Bee Farm


Day 2
We paid Ringgit 85 per pax to torture ourselves for rainforest walk. We trekked for 4hrs & today I'm still having the big workout effect feeling.
Heros & Heroines to name:
DH - Carried Shannon (the city gal who's just not used to muddy track) for 98% of the walk.
Aunty Esther - Despite 10wks preggie, she's still able to complete the trek..Still shudder at the flashback of the slopes.
Children - Able to complete the trek without much whinning.
Shannon - Still able to sleep during the bumby walk.














Day 4: Detour to Ipoh for food before heading home sweet home

Today, we have made a big investment to buy a Philips Juicer that cost $188! You can throw the whole apple in without cutting and it supposingly can extract maximum juice. It's sleek looking with a metalic outlook. Importantly it's super child friendly since no cutting needs to be involved!

The kids will be able to drink their greens now when they do it themselves. This is especially good for Shannon coz she can be choosy over her food at times.

AT 3yrs 2mths, I'm so proud that Shannon can now be completely diaper free at nite. Unlike some of the mummies who told that it will be a tiring process -like you have to make effort to wake up a few times to bring the kid go toilet. This isn't the case for us (We are not that hardworking!). We learnt that that she's able to control her bladder at this stage. As long she go "she she" after her last milk feed, she will be able to "dong" till the morning.

Now it's sky's turn to learn to go potty. But, he dun seem to like the potty that much...could it be because it's a sweet pinky one? :p

To celebrate Mooncake festival, we bought some lanterns & sparklers for the baobeis. Along with Ah ma & Ah yi, we went to CCK park.

Sparklers were a hit with Shannon & she simply ignore the lantern. While I'm not looking, Sky accidently touched the burnt sparklers which is quite hot! After a little crying session, he decided that this is not fun at all! He ended up enjoying himself at the playground instead!

Hmmm..should i further enrich her hidden talent?
