Well it all started with our fun trip to Sentosa...actually it was the water play at Marina Barrage. She literally jumped into the water, right off our hands. I didn't have any more spare clothes so she played in her diapers. Not too good idea cos it was evening and it was windy. Oopss..
Ww saw her nose runny while in the pool already, and she was shivering.
So she was most likely sick cos of that. Oppps. Lesson learnt...rather let her cry than go in there. Then again her cousins were in there splashing themselves wet. How could she miss it? She had runny nose for about 2 days till on Friday night it started to get worse, as in i could hear her trying to cough out the phelgm. So it was to the doctor on Saturday morning.
Here's Eliza with her little bag as we go out to see the doctor. She's excited about going out.
Oh on a side note: I discovered at the clinic, while the nurses were pinning her down so the doc and check her throat, that she has a new molar!! quite interesting...i thought it comes after those vampire teeth comes out. so when we went home to check, she's also growing another molar on the upper gum! and her right gum looks swollen, so here comes molar no.3! gosh..no wonder she's drooling so much these few days...have to take out her bibs again.
Stayed home with Eliza all saturday doing stuff i don't remember now. Passing the day with her is kinda more interesting now that she can keep herself entertained. I was making the bed in the room while she was at the balcony busying herself with the tin of cards that i dropped earlier. And she was slotting the cards between the timber deck and the floor and sliding it out to the edge. Before that she was playing hide and seek with me amongst the bedsheets that i've brought out the the balcony to dry.
Everything can be a toy. So even when i dropped by to Taka Baby Fair, I browsed all the toys but didn't feel there's any much that she needs. (ok only one really fun percussions set...that's $55. but i didn't bring the Taka vouchers so i didn't get it eventually). The toys that she got for her birthday is quite good enough. So far one of the most useful toys are her car/scooter, her books and this stacking cups that seemed to have multiple uses. Yeah, it's a bath toy, you can stack it up to a tower, or match colours, or collaspe them.
Got it from mothercare for $7 quite a while ago...looks like that but not as large..and it isn't like a bucket..still it's been useful.
Anyway on sunday, we made it to church without Ww who was at BB camp. And even went out to OG with my in-laws and dinner at Market 85 after that. So much for being sick eh? After that i was the one being quite bished out that I felt sick.
The downside of her being sick is not really the daytime play, but the nights. There's medicine to eat, mucus to be sucked out, nose dropped to be used. If i aggrevate her, that's it, she's in a cranky grouchy mood. This was what happened on sat night & this evening. If there's an improvement to medicine eating from last time, is that she'll be ok with us feeding her some, but there's like 3 different meds to finish, by the time i get to medicine no.2 she's not in the mood anymore. She also ok with me using the pump to suck out the mucus, which is eh...kinda satisfying...for me, at least. She'll poke the pump in the nose, when i ask her how it should be used. haa...
Let's pray she gets better soon...it's scary hearing her breathing at night, sounds like darth vader sometimes; else she'll get into some coughing phelgm out part that sounds so frightening (to me at least) that i'll jump out of bed.

This was last last friday, after the IT fair...we were waiting for the bus and Eliza was still sleepy from her nap...she was peeping to see where we are and promptly dozed off. She slept all the way back.
I don't remember which morning this is...but this new book is one of the top books these days. I like it cos the pictures in there are real ones...not illustrated ones. So far she could point out to me some pictures...and if i ask her where's the Orchid, she can point the correct flower to me. Smarty pie! (actually, it's cos our neighbourt grows orchids, and i'll always point it out to her when we go out)
Last last saturday, I brought her to the library, but as we passed by the playground, she flew off my arms and headed for it. They know what a playground is quite early on.
Here she is half bending her knees and peering out to me....
Heading for the most useful toy at the playground...
Last last sunday, during service...what are we doing out at the swing? I usually get out after the worship time cos Eliza's getting more and more vocal...so it's to the playroom...and sometimes we stop by the swing on our way there...
Here Eliza checking out her abc book...

Last thursday, we made another trip to the library, National library that is. Love the expanse of space she can toddle around.
Here she is, picking up the leaf after stomping on it for a long time...
