The Same Shoe

Since I blogged about my girl's first high heels, its only fair that I blog about my boy's shoes too. LOL!

We had some trouble finding the right pair of shoes for him when we went shopping for Chinese New Year. He was disappointed! He cried and cried and said he wanted new shoes. He just didn't understand why we weren't getting him any when we had promised we would. Poor baby!

Eventually, we managed to find him the right pair. Its the same one as the current pair he is wearing. Hahaha. Its just a cheap pair. One of those you find in the discount racks that they throw about and everyone digs in wildly like its free or something. We just couldn't find another pair which we thought looked good and was comfortable.

We like his current pair (although they're not the most comfortable) but he is used to it so we got him the same pair. He seemed happy enough that we bought him a new pair of shoes (just like his sister) even though they're the same pair, thankfully. Lol!

Her first high heels

We got my girl her first "high heels" for Chinese New Year. I'm not sure why but we've always dressed her up in jeans and T-shirts and not dresses. We're so used to see her in this attire that when she wears dresses she doesn't look like our girl to us. Lol! Most of her few dresses are hand-me-downs from her cousins.

She had a cute little pink flower sleeveless sundress from her aunts and we loved see her in it and thats probably her most worn dress. She's usually in sneakers or sports shoes because we think its more practical for little girls so they can run around freely without worry of tripping and injuring their feet.

However for this Chinese New Year we got her a pretty dress and little dress shoes to go with it. She's delighted! She's happy to wear shoes like mummy's. Everynight she would totter up and down the bedroom practising walking on her new "high heels". Baby wanted to "practise" walking on his sneakers too. *rolls eyes*

I wanted to post a picture of the shoes and dress but having problems with my camera pic download so maybe I'll do it later if I'm not too lazy.

Conversation between two young girls

Recently we were rushing around doing our Chinese New Year shopping. Mr MG had to take my girl along with him to cut his hair while I took baby along with me to shop at the ladies department. Baby was good. He followed me around everywhere into various fitting rooms and tagged along while I tried on shoes. Hehe.

According to Mr MG, my girl made a new friend at the hairdressing salon so I asked her about it and this is what she told me.

My Girl: Mummy, the girl got nice shoes. Its orange and green polka dots. The girl say her shoe is nicer than mine.

My thoughts: Hahaha. Girls will be girls.

My Girl: Mummy, the girl also got a mummy, daddy and a baby but the baby not yet born.

MG: Oh, you saw her mummy's stomach was big big is it?

My Girl: Yes, her mummy also cut hair but the baby didn't get dirty because the baby was inside the stomach.

My thoughts: Hahaha. I am recording this down to show my girl the funny things she used to say as a little girl.

Conversation between a 5 year old and a 3 year old

3 year old: Mummy, where is daddy?

MG: Daddy is still at work. (Answered still because this is not the first time asking)

3 year old: Why so long?

5 year old: Baby, you have to wait until dark dark. Wait until the moon come out first, then only daddy come back.

LOL! Poor baby. I don't think he understands why his daddy is missing sometimes. At least the 5 year old understands that daddy has to work otherwise he will have no money to buy her toys so she doesn't mind so much.

How I survived moving house with the kids

We have finally moved. Its been quite a journey to get here. Many stressors along the way and lots of things had to be done twice or redone to get it right. On moving day, second sis offered to help me watch the kids. That was a BIG help!

She came with her husband and one of her sons to help out. She helped to babysit the kids at the new house, played with them, fed them lunch etc while we were busy moving. That really helped because then I didn't have to worry about the kids or their safety of getting in the way of big items being moved.

So we finally made it here. I didn't change any of the bedsheets or pillow cases and made tried to make their bed exactly as it looked at the old house. This helped in the transition. They even helped me arrange the pillows in the exact same places as they were used to seeing them. Lol!

The kids seem to have settled in by now and enjoying the "adventure" of being in a new place. They seem to like the new place although they did ask a couple of times "Are we going home?" to which we would tell them "This is your home now."
