Sign of independence
Very early morning, Daddy and me munching on our Gardenia bread and sipping our 3-in-1 BOH tea - trying to stay awake so we do not choke on our food. Suddenly, we heard a faint cry from our room…
Me: Zoe cry ar?
Daddy: (Get up and go into room to check…came out shortly)
Daddy: (Shakes head…indicate no and gesture with hand that Zoe’s still sleeping)
Me: (Resume munching with sleepy mode…)
Suddenly, I saw some bushy hair pass by the dining table and little fingers at the edge of the table trying to grab a piece of Gardenia bread…
Zoe: Mum mum…! (Fingers still searching for bread)
Hmmm…Zoe came out from the room by herself this morning and straight to the dining table - trying to grab a piece of bread. She has never done that before - it woke me up literally! She normally cries/call for us to pick her up from the room when she wakes up. This morning, I cannot help but notice the difference. She just casually get down from our bed, walk to the dining room and grab a piece of bread. I cannot help but notice it!!! This may be too little an achievement for a 17 months old…but I notice it!…..and I want to remember this day by writing this down now…
Secretly, inside of me I hope she does that everyday from now onwards - rather than cry for us. Somehow, my little baby is growing up already - step by step.
Aiyoh….priceless!
Your little Zoe is not so little anymore. A little proud of her, a little sad…she no longer ‘needs’ you to help her around anymore.
That is how I would feel with boyboy I think.

Its a very natural feeling, I sometimes like to ask Zoe now…u know how Mommy take care of u when u were still a little baby??….sometimes she smiled back when i asked…so i take that as a “Yes!”
