My wish this year is very simple...more time for the family especially Zoe. After watching her birthday video, Zoe more or less understand what is birthday celebration, song and cake. So, today when she saw the birthday cake, Zoe was very excited and insisted on going near to have a better glance. Yes, we had a hard time getting her away from the cake!
On the way back from dinner, we sang along Happy Birthday and suddenly Zoe wished me 'Happy Birthday to you, Mummy!' I'm so touched and this is the best birthday gift I received. Look forward for more birthdays to come :)

Emotional Bagage
I was told to beware of toddler sensitivity but I never guess I have to face it at this early stage. At 20 months Zoe understand our conversation. Of course, we under estimated the little girl ability to understand it. Actually, we suspected that when my brother in-law placed her daughter with my mother in-law, Zoe became jealous as my mother in-law is taking care of the little baby. Regret to say that I don't what is the level that Zoe was left alone but we're trying to make Zoe to understand the whole situation.
Another incident, when Mum friends try to coax Zoe to follow them by saying Gong Gong does not want her anyway, Zoe started to cry instantly and kept holding to Gong Gong and never want to let go. Just now, before she fall asleep, she needs Gong Gong assurance that Daddy, Mummy, Gong Gong and Po Po wants her.
From all the incidents we realised that our little girl is sensitive and even at this early stage she actually understand her surrounding. It's now that we need to spend more time with Zoe talking to her and ensure that she realise that we love her.

Happy Chinese New Year 2010
X'mas, Brother's Wedding, Bali Trip and now CNY all in 2 months. Well, I think I need time to update all the events for Zoe.
Besides all this, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL...!
What a good 2nd CNY with Zoe. Last year Zoe was still a little baby trying to figure out the fuzz of CNY and curious on the red packets she's getting.
This year Zoe understand CNY is a celebration and excited about the fuzz started to enjoy on the preparation with CNY songs, biscuits and 'ang pow'. Zoe accepted that she needs to say Gong Xi; Gong Xi to get ang pow.(Haha...actually she enjoyed the gesture of Gong Xi Gong XI than the ang pow). All the excitement made the little girl exhausted and is sleeping well now. Good nite, Zoe!
