Happy Father’s Day! ……this is kinda back dated by 1 day…better late than never right

Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
Let’s go drink and chill out yea :p

We had shabu shabu dinner with two daddys, Zoe’s Daddy and my Dad. It was a good outing except that Zoe and me had slight cough since Sat…

We are better today, with Dad and Mom’s help taking care of two of us at home. Geez, it is sure relaxing being at home with Mom and Dad around, really free until can blog….hahaha!

This morning as usual, we are all hurrying to eat breakfast, clean up, get dressed, go school and go to work…phew!

Zoe with her usual dilly dallying doing 101 things and not being cooperative to drink her milk and dress up for school. We serve her milk in a cup with straw this morning, on her request. This funny conversation happen between Daddy and Zoe.

Daddy: (saying for the uptenth times) Zoe, can you please finish your milk and wear your baju?….

Zoe: No…

Daddy: (repeating) Zoe, faster finish your milk!

Zoe: No! No!…….Quiet!! (while pointing at Daddy with one hand and her other arm at her waist)

Daddy: (speechless….)

Mommy: HAHAHA! (could not help it anymore)

This kind of situation is getting quite regular with Zoe nowadays, since she turned 2 years old. As she learn to talk more, she also make good use of it. Letting us taste her fiesty little "cili padi" character.

omigod! …it has been a month since the last update!

We are just sort of coming out from the FLU war, sorry for the lack of updates…cough…cough…

Both Zoe and myself are down with the flu. Zoe got it worse and her fever lasted more than 2 weeks (highest record 39.6 degree celcius). It was hectic, messy and the sick trying to cure the sick type of situation…

We are better now, but I guess our travelogue to HK is kinda stale…very stale…sigh…

In fact, throughout this time, we have brought Zoe to the paed more than 5 times, went into SJMC ER once and had her gone through twice blood test. She was suspected to have dengue earlier, but the test results was negative and it was just the Mega FLU virus…

I hope to be able to post more updates soon…

Ann Ann told Daddy that this will make me contented and quiet for next 6 months
So…Daddy got me this!!!

Apa macam!? My hubby can shop hor?

Daddy came back on Monday morning, we only get to see him in the evening when I pick Zoe back from Nanny. How is Zoe’s reaction when she see Daddy after a 3+ weeks?

I constantly tell Zoe when we will be seeing Daddy, thou she might not have any idea about what day or time yet. On the way home, I was also telling her we will be seeing Daddy later at the car park - like how she anticipated everytime, saying "Daddy Daddy!" while pointing to the exact same place where Daddy will be waiting daily.

When Zoe actually saw Daddy, she was rather quiet and unsure. She did not held out her hands to be carried immediately like before. She just sat there and look at me. Daddy continue to unbuckle her seat belts and carry her out. Normally, she will be struggling a bit trying to get out as fast as possible. This time, she just sat there…

It did not took her very long to warm up to Daddy. After getting out of the lift, she already got familiar and bury her head on Daddy’s shoulder, hugging tight. I realised that is her way of showing that she miss someone. A few times when I pick her up from Nanny’s place, she will bury her head on my shoulder, hug tightly and stroke my arm. She did not know how to say it but she show us with her gestures that she miss Daddy.

Once Daddy start showing her the toys he brought back, waaaah…things really got back to normal lah! Zoe resume back her cheeky self - talking, laughing, playing like normal. I guess that is the wonderful thing being a child, all is forgotten when the fun starts!

3 more days and Daddy will be back home from his business trip. Well…well…how have we cope so far:

• 1 road accident on the second week while Daddy is away. Lost some $$ but glad everyone is safe. I managed to get the side mirror replaced.
• Zoe sprouted 4 molars so far, all came out when Daddy is away. Her gums is not swollen but she has some stomach upset and excess salivating. She gave me a couple of "wakey wakey" nights making sure I suffer together with her.
• She was down with fever for 1 nite this week and next day she got rashes all over her body. Rush her to the paed once I notice her rashes after picking her from nanny. Paed ruled out fake measles or dengue. He said it is just viral infection and the body reacting to it. Zoe still look polka-dotted this morning.
• She officially shifted her sleeping time from 9am to 10+ pm this week, fussing and refusing to sleep as per her normal routine, just wanted to play and watch Barney. I began serious stern talk to her and she seem to be able to listen and quiet down. It is not easy to maintain serious talking to her while she do her puppy face pout and giving me the look as thou she is saying, "Nobody loves me anymore, you are the only one I have now…ooooh, I miss my Daddy!".
• She is drinking from a cup independently as of this week. Holding the cup with water while walking and drinking without spilling. As a result, she felt so proud she rejected all her sippy cup. But, she still do not want to drink her milk from a cup and insist I serve her milk in the bottle.
• She play her rocking thingy sitting sideways now - doing stunts with it.
• She loves to carry her biggest and heaviest book around, waving to us and asking us to read to her - but her attention span is only 5 minutes. I need to do something about that.
• She likes to follow my Dad and dance and she learn to play "masak-masak" with my Mom. She pretend to cook her ABCs and serve it in a bowl/plate to each of us. We must pretend to eat it everytime she serve it.
• She is closer to my Mom and Dad now, compare 3 weeks ago.

Looks like all I ever remember is about Zoe, how about myself? Well, I am just really looking forward to Daddy coming home - with all the goodies he got for me!!!!
