Gwenneth cannot sleep without 3 things in her life.
1) the sight of Mommy.
2) her pink beanie, fondly known as "ah-nee"
3) lastly her pacifier, aka "tu-tu"
Gwen :" I want Mommy's bed. Mommmmmy.... tutu. ah-nee. tutu. ah-nee. tutu. ah-nee...."
That is almost her ritual chant just before bedtime. ( and also the same old songs of "Ocean", "bus", and "twinkle star" PLUS scratching/stroking of her back. How pampered.)
She is allowed to bring her tutu and ah-nee to school. (Mommy felt that it was the least she could offer her for comfort, being all alone in school.)
Then came the rampant HFMD that made Mommy think twice about the tutu since Gwen would pop it into her mouth every now and then.
One day, Mommy noticed a huge tear on that "silicon best friend" of Gwen's. Mommy asked Gwenneth to witness, or rather, throw away the tutu herself into the dustbin. This "throw-away-tutu-ceremony" was video-ed on iphone, so that Gwenneth would watch this repeatedly and get the hang of the idea that her tutu is gone. For good.
She did asked for her alternative tutus in a variety of colours (she has like 4 of them) but we insisted that there was only one, and it was the yellow one that she has dumped away.
We were prepared for the worst, the fuss involved to pacify her that her sleeping ritual does not include a tutu anymore. Surprisingly, nothing happened. We explained and she understood. She didn't resort to stealing her brother's one too.
So that was it.
BYE BYE TUTU!
Gwenneth says the darnest thing.
As usual, Daddy teaches all sort of "unusual" stuff. One of them is "kah-nergh" (legs soft). Sometimes she loses her footing while dancing amok in the house, we would laugh it off and say "Gwenneth kah-nergh!" One night, Gwenneth was walking up to our bedroom and dropped her beanie along the stairs, and she went " Aiyoh! Beanie kah-nergh!"
Sweet Sweet (thats what her grandma calls her) was on the phone with Ah mah and Mommy egged her to say "good night" and "sleep tight". Gwenneth continued her conversation with grandma before wrapping up with a "Good night! Sleep properly!"

25 months
And this marks the 3rd year of Gwenneth’s life.
Gwenneth will be going to Nursery One next year. How fast! She will be 2 ½ years old in January 2011 and she will be enrolled into N1 with all other 2008 babies.
Daddy and Mommy thought it would be a good time to start sending Gwenneth to school now as she can slowly wean her “sticky self” from Mommy , and what better way to check out the school before committing to a 4 year relationship right up to Kindergarden 2 at 6 years old. In any case, Mommy has half a year to decide which school can bring the best out of Gwenneth and most importantly, she must enjoy it!
Mommy deliberately delayed a month before sending Gwenneth to school even though she is all ready with 2 sets of school uniform. The school is new and Mommy felt that the ALL the children will be crying regardless of their class and age. Mommy didn’t want Gwenneth to think that school, is a scary and unhappy place that deprives everyone from their Daddies and Mommies. However, Daddy thinks otherwise, worrying that Gwenneth will be left out, when the children in her class forms their own circle of friends. The final decision was made on the reason that the teachers may not be able to give any attention to Gwenneth if all 12 of them are crying.
And so, Gwenneth went to school on 1st August 2010. Daddy made special arrangement to leave for his business trip in the late noon so that he can witness Gwenneth’s special day.
The first week of school was fine. We kept it to 3hours or 3 ½ hours at most, “Mommy-accompanied”. Gwenneth took only a while to warm up and had a bit of “walk around” time on her own and orientated herself from the playroom to the toilet. She ate her lunch on her own like she would do at home, alongside with many other independent children. She was generous with her hugs as she bid goodbye when her class ended. She liked both Teacher Cris and Xia Lao Shi.
Week 2. Without Mommy.
Day 1 National Day school holiday
Day 2. Cry like mad. Daddy tried to send her to school at 9.30am himself, thinking that it could be easier to say bye bye to her and leave her on her own as she understands that Daddy goes to work everyday anyway. Daddy stayed with her during play time for about ½ an hour and the teachers picked Gwenneth off by the armpits and chased Daddy out of the school. Daddy’s heart wrenched and called Mommy at 10.30am to go save Gwenneth together. Mommy understands that the school cannot have parents loitering around infinitely, but she was just as mad about them robbing Gwenneth off just like that, and she was torn from her favourite Daddy.When Mommy arrived in school with Daddy, she was sobbing on and off, whimpering and screaming. Daddy said that we should call it a day and go for a teochew muay brunch with baby Gwen! By 10.45am, Gwenneth was carried out of school, swearing that she doesn’t want school anymore.
Day 3, Mommy drove Gwenneth to school and adopted the “We ran out of M&M minis. Mommy is going to buy some chocolate, and Mommy will be back soon. Very fast. Promise.” I gave her a big kiss and handed her to teacher’s Cris arms and left in a jiffy. The last I saw was a contorted arched back baby, yelling like her Mommy is going to leave her for good. I thought I saw some “how-can-you-bear-to-do-this-to-me!” eyes. When I went to pick her punctually from school at 11.30am, she was drinking milk on the floor with her beanie, and broke into tears when she saw me. “MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!” :”( She sob her way to the main door and her tears dried up as soon as she sat on that lttle blue chair while waiting for her socks and shoes. Gwen “Mommy buy chocolate for me?” She happily walked with a bounce, and waved goodbye to all the pictures of the bear decals that was stuck on the glass panels as we made our way to the car. She stopped to ask one of the bear why he is crying. DUH! . That afternoon, I suddenly heard Gwenneth singing “One little, two little, three little Indians….” For the longest time, we have been following Julia Gabriel’s lyrics which was “Ten little aeroplanes.” I was pleasantly surprised as I knew Gwenneth picked this up from Agape from my first week with her in class. I haven’t been singing this song to her as her current favourite lullaby is “My bonnie lies over the ocean” aka “Ocean” song (according to Gwenneth). Then she started to continue with “uuh ahh! uuh ahh! shooting arrows! uhh ahh! uhh ahh! shooting arrows! uhh ahh! shooting arrows! ten little Indian boys! Complete with actions! She did learn something in between her cries! And she is happy at school!
Day 4. Gwenneth Pon Tang school.
Day 5. Mommy sent Gwenneth to school. As I was helping her to take off her socks, she cried already. Telling me she does not want any chocolates anymore. One teacher tried to take her away from me at the door but I insisted to make it as “less tramatising” as possible for her. I had to leave her in school alone, but not in a manner that she is being snatched away from her Mommy. I had to be extra careful to not hurt that little heart. I want her to have fun, learn social skills and most importantly, be happy in school. Why make it an awful experience for her? I ignored that insensitive teacher, took my Gwenneth back from her arms, and walk right up to her class before giving her to Teacher Cris. I did a quick good bye and reassured her my promise; that Mommy will definitely come back for her. Gwenneth’s face cramped up like a crispy prata, and cried like nobody’s business. Mommy then went to do groceries shopping with the maid before going back to pick Princess G at 12pm. Mommy bought grapes for the children in class. Mommy sneaked up to class to video how Gwen Gwen was coping alone. To my surprise, Gwenneth was NOT crying. She was playing toys with a friend, and walking around the class at ease, keeping herself occupied while waiting for the rest to finish up their lunch. She ate half her lunch and Mommy witnessed the little girl taking her own bowl and placed it into the designated pail under the teacher’s instruction. She was happy, with no signs of distress at all! Mommy was so proud and went into the class to give that little grown up a well-deserved hug. Gwenneth was delighted to see Mommy and excitedly showed Mommy her little souvenier from Darius, who came back from Thailand over the National Day weekend. The children ate up all the grapes cheekily and my heart grew fonder for all of them.
Gwenneth is ready for school.

22 months
Gwenneth's appetite is failing. Sometimes only 1 -2 mouthful of rice and declares "DONE!" Mommy doesnt want to force me to eat as she worries that I would resent meal time in future. Anyway, i am always eating non-stop for the whole day. Cornflakes... yogurt....strawberry... soya bean drink... yakult...
She has her grouchy tantrums when I forbid her to do certain things, but still listens to Mommy a lot. She gets angry when she is asked to bathe when she doesnt feel like it and demands the maid to "GO AWAY!" she would often hit the maid with her hands and then gets scolding from Mommy.
Mommy would then explain that its is wrong and rude to do so, and it hurts Jie Jie Yanti/Jie Jie Rina and they would be sad when they are in pain. Mommy then ask Gwenneth to say sorry and give a hug and she usually obeys and everyone is happy again :) Thereafter, she gets lots of praises.
Sometimes, Gwenneth's hit Mommy accidentally with a toy she was playing, Mommy would act as if she was crying. Gwenneth would then look worried, gives kisses and a big hug. She would say "Mommy, no cry... Happy? Happy?" Gwenneth wants Mommy to be happy all the time.
Gwenneth volunteers to help DiDi bathe, but she is just eyeing on that tub of water for PLAY! She was bathing Reyes, and pointed at his navel and said "Belly button!" she then pointed at this dick and asked "WHAT IS THIS!" That made Mommy laugh.
"PENIS! Boys have penis-es" (Mommy cant spell a pural of penis.)
This little Mommy-wannabe breastfeeds her doll.
"Drink milk! Drink!"
She puts her doll to her belly button (!!! i dunno why also) and then stares in space for about 2 seconds and waits for "doll to drink milk".
"Bringing Elmo out" project. Gwenneth has fallen in love with Elmo. Perhaps its the DVDs on Elmo's World, or maybe its his orange nose. She likes him so much that it is definitely her birthday party theme this year. Gwenneth wants to bring Elmo wherever she goes. After putting on her shoes, she would ask "Elmo?" and then goes round the house to find where she last left it. Then togther with her tutu and her "already-very-black" smelly beanie, she is ready to go. Sometimes, she decides to bring along other things for the comfort of Elmo and the misery of Mommy. She would push out her toy stroller, or the toy supermarket trolley out of the door and walk towards the lift and ignores all calls of "Gwenneth! Gwenneth! Come back! Dont bring stroller!" Mommy and Daddy is left with no choice.
and so, to celebrate this special day, being proud parents of 2, we are going on a CRUISE! However, Reyes is only 3 months old and they do not allow babies under 6 months to board. After much "go / dont go", "cruise / bintan / genting", they decided to stick to a cruise trip with Gwenneth. It seems to be the best choice as it is convenient for Mommy to see Little Miss Medela every few hours and the activites on board like the pool will definitely make Gwenneth very happy. Above all, it would be nice to visit this love boat, all over again after these amazing 10 years.

For your info, Elmo has a baby according to Gwenneth, and his name is "Small Elmo".
She has evolved new ways to slide on her own.

19 months
Gwenneth is officially the big sister!
My Lil Brother, Reyes Tan Rui Yi is born!
See Reyes's blog
http://www.reyesaurus.blogspot.com/
Daddy and Mommy had read and heard all about siblings jealousy. The sudden shift of attention would definitely be an awful experience for Gwenneth Tan. Mommy made an excuse to sneak out to Kovan during her first week of confinement to buy me a present on behalf of Reyes.
Instead of buying a toy, Mommy went to Popular bookstore and bought art craft materials. Little Gwen loves her craft sessions at Julia Gabriels and Mommy felt that we could have our bonding time drawing and pasting stickers everywhere! I had this "art box" with crayons, paint palette, brushes, scrapbook, stickers, children's glue and cellophane paper in assorted colours.
I also have a Barney lunchbox(which i use to keep my crayons) elmo beaker and story books!
Oh Didi, I love you!
Gwenneth would say "art time!" just like this clip from disney channel, and drags out her huge red box.
So how is Gwenneth coping with her new brother's attention competition?
Daddy :" Well, so far so good. She has not made any attempts to kill him yet."
Take photo take photo!

Mommy made it to still have her yearly shopping at chinatown before Reyes was born. All because of gong gong and por por, wo has been bringing me to see lion dance performance, im am crazy over lion dance!
Gwenneth mimicks the drummers from the lion dance perforamance.
Take photo take photo!
Gwen :"Lion! Lion!"
Mommy wanted to buy me a lion dance doll, but we didnt see any suitable size ones for lil Gwen.
Spot my Ah mah in the photo!
Gwenneth at school.
Practising to be a big sister.
Getting involved in class
Out of 10 sessions at Julia Gabriel, i only attended 5.
Daddy forbidded Mommy to bring me for the last 5 sessions. This was because Daddy disliked the teacher in my playclub class. I can do whatever i wish to in playnest, and enjoy the freedom of exploring around, looking at things that interest me. However, the teacher from playclub restricted me and made me sit down for story time even when i really do not wish to! Perhaps, its also because of the infamous "Terrible 2" phrase im going through, I cannot understand why I cannot have certain things which i would like to, at that very moment. When i have a "want" in my mind to own or touch something, I MUST satisfy that need, right there and then! The teacher did not allow me to walk to the back of the puppet play screen as i was really curious what was behind. That made me struggle and cry.
It made me wanna escape from class.
It pains Daddy's heart to see me being forced to do the things i disliked and felt that the teacher did not correct Gwenneth's tantrum in an more appropriate way. Mommy understands that there should be some sort of discipline in class but perhaps, the class size on a Saturday was too big for the teacher to have such patience. However, it was pointless for Gwenneth to attend the class and disturb the peace of others. Cause many of Gwenneth's classmates are above 2 years of age and can appreciate the joy of some quiet time, listening to a story.
Mommy's heart aches each week for the $50/lesson, fly away just like that, but Daddy was REALLY against it.
Hence, i was withdrawn from Julia Gabriel for a term and Mommy will be more particular about the choice of teachers next time.

18 months
Gwenneth turns 1 and a half years old!
I have moved on to Playclub at Julia Gabriels attending classes only once a week. Its a 2 hour class with more exciting art time activites but im definately missing some of the familiar faces of my friends from Playnest. Here are some pictures from my Playnest graduation party!
I brought chocolate cookies, animal biscuits and waffles!
We were encouraged to wear costumes for the party and Mommy dressed me in a white ballerina romper that she bought from Hong Kong. How cute with white heart leggings!
I miss Teacher Lin many many!
Anything cold is nice!
I was playing around with the clothes pegs at the balcony while Mommy was bringing in the freshly sunned laundry. Mommy asked if i could help take my clothes and mueslin cloths back into the room and i could manage the task just fine! Mommy thinks that im the cutest baby around!

Gwenneth has curly locks. Mommy couldnt make up her mind if i looked better with bangs or not. She cut my fringe cause growing long and was poking into my eyes. However, they wouldnt stay straight as my hair was fine and soft and curly! So after this time round, i shall keep my fringe long and pull them back in a ponytail when they grow long enough. My "whirly whirlpool" in front on my forehead was not causing much of a bother actually.
Here i am, playing with my home delivered pancake from McDonalds on a lazy Sunday morning!
Anything cold is nice!
Jie Jie Yani went back to indonesia in November for good as her contract has expired. Mommy had to survive 3 weeks at home without a new maid due to some passport documents problems, Daddy away on company trip to Korea, loads of laundry, cleaning, housework, cooking and managing a clingy Gwenneth and a big pregnant belly.
I decided to help since im a big girl already!
I was playing around with the clothes pegs at the balcony while Mommy was bringing in the freshly sunned laundry. Mommy asked if i could help take my clothes and mueslin cloths back into the room and i could manage the task just fine! Mommy thinks that im the cutest baby around!
We had a farewell dinner with Jie Jie Yani at kenny Rogers.
I love Barney!
Walking on a mini bowling alley in the aracade. Which was against the rules!
Daddy showed me how to come out with special powers on street fighter.
I tried to mimick Mommy by placing my index finger on the straw to draw out a sip of coke. She does that to limit the amount of coke i drink.

Gwen :" Why bother Mommy! Daddy gives me big gulps of cold chilled coke, right from the
cup when you were not looking!"
Hee...
Daddy is the best!
Yummy corn muffins!
Dim Sum at Wah Lok, Carlton Hotel. After Mommy's gynae visit, Daddy would often suggest a yummy lunch so that Mommy can eat more to beef up our little new brother in the tummy.
I love my fat Mommy. Pregnancy glow never happens on my mum.
I love my Mommy for the sacrifices she made for me and Didi while pregnant with us!
While Daddy was away in Korea, Mommy brought me out to eat Selegie tau huey on a boring afternoon. She didnt bother to change me as it was just a short drive away and i was in my unglam pyjamas.
Drinking soya bean milk!
Gwenneth is drinking on demand, about 4-5 feeds a day (150ml - 180ml) of Enfagrow. Mommy would ask if i want neh neh and i usually mean what i say...though i changed my mind and waste a bottle of freshly "brewed" milk on some ocassion.
Can you bear to not sleep with me???

I was the centre of attraction at the restaurant each time we dine out. Thats because, i could sit on the high chair and be well behaved at all times. I could also feed myself to the egg tarts, carrot cake and porridge with little help from Mommy. Im like a little adult all on my own! This would often impress all the waitress and aunties and they took turns to come see me at the table, singing strings of praises of me of how independent i am at 17 months old. That made Daddy really proud!
Mommy will take me out whenever she can, with the convenience of my dearest gong gong's car.
To IKEA!

I wear size L diapers and change about 5 times a day, including 2 showers i take after my lunch and dinner. Ive been refusing to use the bib for a while already, ripping it off as soon as its being put on. So my clothes are often stained with milo and porridge etc and i had to bathe after every meal.
After Daddy came back from Korea, Mommy felt that its a good time to train me to sleep in my room downstairs with the maid. This is because in another month's time, Didi would be born and will be sleeping with Mommy and Daddy. Mommy is worried that i will have interrupted sleep as Didi would be waking up, crying for milk every 3 hours throughout the night.
Night 1
I had the company of Daddy and Mommy and our new maid had to sleep in the living room for the night. Daddy fell asleep almost right away! Mommy then watch Barney on youtube with me on the laptop and i finally fell asleep at 12 midnight.
Night 2
Mommy and maid with me. Mommy chatted with Jie Jie Yanti while i played in the room. I slept at 1am despite the face that i was really tired!
Night 3
Mommy coax me to sleep in my room and then she went back to her own room. I cried for mommy pitifully at 4am and Jie Jie Yanti had no choice but to call for Mommy's help. After plenty of hugs from Mommy, i fell asleep and subsequently woke up at 8.30am, sobbing by the door, asking for Mommy again.
Mommy then bought a baby monitor and would rush down to comfort me whenever i cry in the middle of the night. Mommy knew i would do fine sleeping in my room with Jie Jie yanti, just that i want to see Mommy each time i open my eyes when i wake up.
Then came the xmas holidays and weekends, Mommy and Daddy would often excuse me from sleeping alone and i get to snuggle up with them on the big big bed!
Can you bear to not sleep with me???
Mommy made chocolate fondue for me... I love chocolate sauce with bananas!
My dearest strawberry
Mommy would let me dip my fingers into the warm leftover chocolate sauce and lick up whatever that was remaining.
See ya next month!
