Yet another Saturday

This evening, I'm once again reminded that Raeanne is only 1+. She wanted to leave the room but the door was closed. She stood on her toes and tried to reach for the knob but was too short to open the door. Guess what she did next? She pressed an imaginary bell on the wall beside the door and went "Ding Dong"!! When there was no response, she turned round and asked "How? The door cannot open! How?" She's such a amusing child. :-). We must remember to treat her like a 1 year old and not expect her to grow up overnight just because she is now a jie jie. It doesn't help that she started speaking early.

Gwyneth visited to the paediatrician yesterday. Think she got the phlegmy cough from Raeanne. Don't feel very comfortable with feeding her cough syrup at such a young age. After all, she is only 10 weeks old. She hates the medicine. Suppose babies have an acute sense of smell - she starts crying even before the medicine gets into her tiny little mouth... :-/. On the contrary, Raeanne LIKES the cough syrup (same chemical name as that prescribed to Gwyneth but difference dosage). She's always wanting to "take medicine". This evening, she threw a tantrum when we wanted to feed Gwyneth the medicine first.

Violin class today was good. Megan was concentrating and took the class very seriously. The teacher went through quite a number of new pieces today. Add oil, Megan!

That brings me to the visit to Toys R Us this afternoon before violin class. Raeanne, being surrounded by toys of all sorts, was ecstatic and uncontrollable. She was running from aisle to aisle (with Melvyn running after her) and finally settled for one of her favourites, the cash register. It was really difficult getting her to leave. We managed to carry her off to another section of the store in spite of her struggling and yelling at the top of her voice. The ultimate happened when she saw the laptops. Don't know how to describe what happened next. We can loan her to you and you can bring her to Toys R Us and find out for yourself. :-D. Nevertheless, we managed to get Megan and Raeanne their Christmas presents (cannot tell you yet lest you tell them!). Any suggestions for what we should get for Gwyneth? I suggested buying a tin of milk powder (I'm sure she will enjoy it) but Melvyn thinks it's a bad idea. ;-)

Got to go, Melvyn is bugging me to switch off the lights so he can sleep.
