Who is elder now?

Brinda was at the dining table, struggling to finish 1 capati..as she had 1/4 more, she started whining..
" Amma, please "
" Amma , please.."

Before i could respond... i hear a very authoritive voice..

Mira : Brinda , you have to eat!

Who's that?

Mira was on the ipad last night while i was in the bath.

When i came out , i saw her looking at some videos we had taken, and she asked, " Who is that? So funny la!"

I went over to see and saw her looking at her self..Lol

Weird questions..

Brinda asked, " Amma, if a Policewoman marries a Policeman, Will all the police come?"

Wonder what was going through her mind...

The Optimist

Brinda started her final Year 1 exam this week. After  finishing her Maths paper, she walks into the house ..

Brinda: I think i will get 100 for Maths
Me : Thats great. Why do you think so?
Brinda : I read one word and circled all the answers in the whole paper.
Me : Huh? You didnt read all the questions?
Brinda : No
Me : Then how do you think you can get 100???
Brinda : You never know...


AAAHHHHHHH!

Entering the Terrible two or Teenage Two?

Sometimes i wonder if Mira is becoming a teenager instead of a toddle..She hardly listens to anyone of us.
If we were to ask her to do something, she would say no. If she needs a jelly bean , then it would be an automatic yes for it.

She has started her tantrums and when we put her in the naughty corner, she starts screaming back...
"Naughty Amma!"
" Giant going to come and bite amma'
" Adi amma"
" I wanted Appa..Appa where are you???"

hmmm...bearing in mind she turns two in a weeks time.. I find this much too soon :-(

Her vocab is getting better too with exposure to her sisters.
We were bringing back a cake in the car and i said ,we will have cake as soon as as we reach home.
She picks up her milk bag and says , " I better drink milk, then will have cake later ".

Lol. Its now, unlimited usage of " I better, I wanted, I thought, I  need"

Teenager words ....

Toothfairy's working hours

Saisha had put her tooth under the pillow two days in a row - and Ragu and me, totally forgot to put the coin in the next morning.
Clearly very upset, she asked me, why? .
I told her since Appa was sleeping in the room both the days, the tooth fairy didn't come. The weekend came and again we forgot.

Saisha : The tooth fairy didn't come again.
Me ( rather puzzled) : oh dear. Maybe Appa came in the room again at night?
Saisha : No. I think they don't work on Sat and Sunday.


Hahaha...

Help

I left Brinda and Mira on the sofa , watching tv and wanted to head to the kitchen behind to wash her milk bottles.

Me : Brinda, have an eye on Mira. I'm going to wash the bottled

And then the 22 month old jumps down from the sofa and runs to the kitchen shouting " I want to help!!"

How often do you get that from a baby!!

Questions getting trickier...

We were in the car driving somewhere..when from behind, a voice came out :

Saisha : Amma , do boys wash after kencing?
Me : Hmmm... You got to ask Appa.
Ragu : Hmmm..Uhhh..Ahhhh...hmmm...Uhhh...Ahh..  and lasted 45 seconds

Saisha ( again) : Appa, do boys wash?
Ragu : Hmmm..Uhhh..Ahhh.. Yes , they wash ( finally an answer!)
Saisha : But how do they wash?
Me : They use the hose...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah right Appa..easy way out to an answer . I dont think she was meaning that HOW?

Chattering of the 20 month old

Me : Mira, why did you eat  the M&M that had dropped on the floor?
Mira : Sorry Amma, I forgot

Me : Brinda, bring up your homework and finish it.
Brinda : OK amma
Mira : Good girl Brinda !

Me : Mira , what did you have for breakfast?
Mira : Sausages
Me : Appa, did she have sausages?
Ragu : No , she had nestum
Mira : No I didnt

Me: Mira, have some chocolates
Mira : Thank you amma, Good Amma .

:-) :-)

Airbus A380

So there is this particular Airbus A380 that crosses Sunway Toll every morning about 7.30 ish.
And we would be in the car going to send the kids to school, I would always say - look at the 4 engines and see how big it is.

This airbus as well usually flies quite low compared to the other planes that cross this area.
I was mentioning this to Saisha that it was quite low and i said , " I wonder why". And she replied,
Its too heavy amma, thats why it flies low "

LOL!

Mira's words

Mira is now reaching 20 months and have been yackety yacking non stop. Her vocab has been amazing for a a 20 months only, and to top it off she does it spontaneuosly bilingual! SO she knows when she speaks to the maid, she communicates in Bahasa and reverses it back to English when trying to talk to us. Quite Bright.

So at 15 months, she was already starting words like "Nemind" for nevermind, tells the maid ," Kakak, pegi cuci" if she doesnt want Kakak to put her to sleep.

Now, everything we eat, she will say " Let me try, ". If we show anything , it would be " Let me seee"

Her inquisitive levels are quite high too. SOmetime last month, Ragu bought a Tap head to change since the washing machine tap wasnt working. She saw the tap head in the car, carried it and said. " Appa, Whats this?"

When in the kitchen, she will come, " Amma , what doing?" A bit hilarious for this tiny one.

Usually when we give her milk, we would have to distract her quite a bit , so she drinks milk. We would say," Lion coming, eagle coming, aeroplane coming, etc..." So the other , i told her if she doenst finish her milk, Barney, her stuffed toy was going to drink it.
She took Barney on her lap, put the towel on his chest, put the milk bottle into the mouth and said, " Drink Barney, Aeroplane coming!! "

Last night, we were on the bed. Her book was on her lap and i accidentally put my hand on the book, , She started her full sentence , " Amma move, Im reading book." .. Yes BOSS!
After reading we went down to drink milk and then was coming back up, Kakak said, Mira tinggal bawah.

To which she replied , " Tak payah. Kakak go mandi "

And marched up the stairs!

Must ask the writer..

Brinda was nagging over her maths homework from her text book and asking"  why is it so hard, why is it so difficult??" over and over again. I couldnt take it anymore and just replied finally, " I really don't know Brinda! You got to ask the writer of the book!".

To which i got a reply.

" But this book was not written, its printed!"

DUH me!!!

Mira's first post

Well Mira, my third edition to the family is only 1 year 2 months old now and i think its time i started to write about her too...

She was wearing a really cute tulip had that her father couldnt resist pulling out the camera to take some shots of her. After taking the photos, she wanted to look at the camera viewer to see the photos. As soon as Ragu scrolled to her pics, she beamed with a smile and said , " PRETTY!!!"

How vain for a 1 year old!

Caps

We were going to watch the Asian Junior Rythamic Gymnastic games last Sunday. The weather was really hot and sunny, so Ragu and me told the girls to  wear their caps as it was an open area stadium.

Saisha very reluctantly came bringing her cap and said grumpily, " People are going to think we are tourists now!! "

LOL!

Brinda's first Exam

Brinda started Primary 1 this year and for the first time in her life , she sat for a real exam today.
It was a progress test, but nonetheless still as daunting. For the First day, her papers were Bahasa and Maths in Bahasa. Two papers only.
The night before we prepared her over and over on Maths and also Bahasa.  We felt she would be fine doing the papers  until i get a call from Ragu after fetching her from school at 3.30pm.

Ragu: Was there Mandarin Exam today?
Me : No, only two papers. BM and Maths in BM
Ragu : No, Brinda insists she did Mandarin exam today.

I panicked !!! Did i see the timetable wrongly?? I asked Ragu to check in her Organizer book for her timetable.  True enough there was only two papers.

When she came home, i asked her ,

Me : DId you do Mandarin Exam today?
Brinda : Yes
Me : Are you sure? The time table said Bahasa and Maths only.
Brinda : Yeah, but Mandarin teacher came in to class and gave us the exam papers - to do in Bahasa..
