Plant Talk

As part of last week's Shichida, Livi was given 2 green beans and a cotton pad and told to grow the plant at home over the course of the week.

Today, 3 days later, we finally spotted some little white shoots coming out of the beans.

To give it more sunshine, I decided to take the plant out of our house and leave it in the planter box along the common corridor instead.

As a parting cry to her first plant, Livi went, "Goodbye little plant! Enjoy your treat!" as if she really understood how sunshine is a real treat to plants!

That's my adorable little one!

Big Words Rule

It's been a looong time since I updated the Blog... about 10 mths in fact!

But I was really amazed (again) last week by what Livi said that I knew I had to pen this note.

Mom had made fresh orange juice for Kang and Livi. As she happily sipped her juice, she suddenly looked up from her glass, looked at mom and smilingly, said "Popo, thank you for your hospitality".

Mom was stumped!! Here we have a 3 yr old tod sprouting big words like this, and using them correctly - it was just amazing!

Background: BP and I had been speaking in the car a few days before that, saying how we should really return the hospitality our Malaysian cousins accord us when they visit us in SG. It was then that Livi asked what hospitality meant and I explained it's to do with people being nice and caring towards us, like taking care of our needs when we visit. And there she was, absorbing all this like a sponge and using the word Hospitality correctly a few days later.

My babe's just amazing!!
