I Hate Short Hair!

Cass’ hair had grown pretty long. Since her hair is thick, I find it very troublesome to maintain it as I wash her hair twice a day. So yesterday, I brought her to the hair saloon to have her hair chopped off. The length is now almost touching the shoulder.  After the hair cut, Cass…

Too Funny

The sight of my baby girl doing this will surely tickle my funny bone, no matter how angry or stressed up I may be.  And she is doing this not to make me laugh. She is a juggler of tasks and wants to accomplish a lot in the shortest time possible… just like her mummy! …

Bitten By The Princess Bug

Just before we left home to attend Sherilyn’s ballet concert on Sunday, I ordered asked the girls to drink water… to which I got this reply from Cass : “Yes Your Highness, I will drink now”… and she darted to the kitchen to drink water which I had earlier poured into her cup… then darted…

She Says

Lately, my 4.5YO baby girl has been telling me this “mummy, I wish I am four years old forever… so that I don’t have to work so hard for money when I grow up!“.  I think that this is a pretty ‘well thought of’  and mature expression from a 4.5 year old.  I wish my…

My 4.5YO Baby Girl

My little rat was so tired helping mummy fold clothes that she dozed off.  I just had to snap her picture as I think she looked too cute, just like a baby sleeping in a fetal position.  At 4.5YO, my baby girl still sleeps this way and I really miss her being a baby (though…

Little Rascal

That’s how my rascal #3 prefers to eat her sandwich… By eating it layer by layer, as if she was eating a 9-layer kuih.  First she nibbles on the top piece of bread, then the piece of fried egg, the last piece of bread and she always saves the best for last… the piece of…

Chicken Feet Craze

I have never seen a 4YO kid who likes chicken feet as much as mine! On days when the mil prepares chicken feet dish, my 3 girls will surely whack them all up — gnawing on the feet, chewing on the skin and sucking out all the gooey stuff from the chicken feet oh so…

Cassandra’s Concert Rehearsal

It was Cass’ concert rehearsal day today and it’s supposed to be a no big deal thing for me as Alycia and Sherilyn had gone through this sort of rehearsals over the last 4 years.  But it is a pretty big deal thing for Cass (it’s her first ever performance on a stage) and also…

Flash Cards For 4-Year Olds

These are Cass’ BM flash cards from pre-school meant for 4-year olds.  From my experience with my 3 kids, I think flash cards will only be effective in teaching the child to read if the parent is involved actively too.  If the child is taught flash cards in school and then in go the flash…

My Little Helper

My 4YO baby girl giving me a helping hand with the wet laundry. Ever since the helper left a week ago, Cass has been helping me with the laundry — hanging and keeping them as well as folding and placing them back into the respective drawers . Alycia and Sherilyn do not have much time…

Caught In The Rain Twice And Guess What..?

They say lightning never strikes a place twice but it does and in my case, I was caught in a heavy rain with Cassandra twice, unprepared! We hardly have the time to have morning walks together. About 2 months ago, we had a stroll to the nearby market-on-van to buy some veggie and meat and…

My 4-Year Old Baby Girl

I guess she will always be called baby girl as she is the baby of the family and my last baby. Just like my youngest brother who is still called ‘bee’ up to today and he is 35 years old. Cassandra is now 4 years old but I still call her baby girl or baby….

Che Che Bit Me!

Just a moment ago I heard a loud yell from Cass and then she started to bawl very loudly. I dashed into the bedroom and Cass was pointing her finger at Alycia. Cass – che che bit me!! Me – che che beat you or bit you? Cass – she bit me on my cheek…

Cassandra Says The Darndest Things

If you have a very expressive, inquisitive and chatty 4-year old, you tend to bite your nails at situations you just know will cause embarrassment to you, to the target person and everyone else. Yesterday at the lift of our condo, a woman pushed her teenage disabled son (mentally and physically) on a wheelchair into…

Hot Stuff

Not only does my 4-year old baby girl love curry dishes, she can even stomach wasabi beans! The love-for-food genes from her daddy is definitely flowing in her blood. She loves food just as much as her daddy and can eat more than me I kid you not. But she’s still as skinny as a…
