Bumble Bee Is Here!

All of a sudden, 姐姐 and 弟弟 got the craze for Bumble Bee. Even though they looked very bored when we were watching the first Transfomer movie, Bumble Bee stuck in their mind. Yellow cars are Bumble Bee car. They get so excited seeing yellow cars on the street. When the commercial for Transformers2 came on, they are transfixed and say "Nah! Bumble Bee 来了". Towards the end of Penang Bridge (near Prai), they tell me "有看到 Bumble Bee!" (Billboard with both Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime to promote the new movie)

So they didn't miss the chance to fiddle around with Transformers merchandize. They are pretending to be Bumble Bee!

As for me, I still didn't have the chance to go and watch Transfomers 2!

Transformers!

Hm.... no Transformers movie yet, so 过吓瘾 with the toys from Petronas promotion. Bumblebee is really popular, both children love him and want to be him. This Bumblebee toy is easier to assemble and transform. The Optimus Prime toy is more difficult to transform and a bit fragile. His arms fell off if twist it, oops!

More drawings

More of 姐姐 drawings over the past week. Nowadays she will say "送给你，妈妈“ or "你可以拿去 Office scan"。

This ones are a bit 'messy' as the color from the opposite side shows through the scanned picture.

Cough bouncing in the family

Backdated post - as everyone was not feeling well last week.

Having both parents coughing in the house must be too much for 弟弟. Even though we tried to feed him multivitamin and scott's emulsion, but he still got it from us. So like pass the ball, we pass it to everyone in the family :P

From 3 July 弟弟 was down with cough, flu, fever, phelgm. Again when he has phelgm, he will vomit. And no appetite for most solid food, not even chocolate bun! Luckily the turnaround came on Friday and he is much better. The doctor nearly admitted him again as he lost ~1kg, but 爸爸 don't allow as the fever already better. I really hope the settling in will be smoother as he's already at nursery full day for 3 months.

姐姐 is also starting a bit of cough (maybe because got it from me). She was having skin allergy and itching all over last Monday - not sure if it's from the gel last week? Paediatrician says it's from the cough, hah?? And the dry lips that she keep having - doctor says she is lacking some vitamins. Even though taking lots of veggies and drink lots of water, still not enough :( She's enjoying her multivitamins syrup and really, her dry lips is gone for the past week.

姐姐 fell down

姐姐 slipped and knocked her lips on a camel coinbox on Tuesday. Poor girl run to me as soon as I am back home to tell me about her pain. Her lips were bleeding and there is an area where the skin kinda rubbed off (可怜). It must be so painful! She is still brave and able to eat & drink as usual. However she said it is painful when she open her mouth wide. Even though her lips are healing but I notice the cut has developed into mouth ulcer today. After school I took her to see her regular paediatrician. She was hesistant at first. I keep on reassuring her that it's just minor condition and only a gel is all that's going to be prescribed. Before stepping out of the car, she ask again "如果严重咧？会怎样啊?". Have to repeat again "没有严重啦，just 给doctor check 罢了". Then only she followed me inside the clinic. She weighs 16.25 kg and measures ~106cm tall. Nurse say "Wah, girl, 你很瘦hoh?". As expected, we got the gel. Save me from scouting all over to find a relief for 姐姐. She was not very happy with the gel as it kind of stings when applied to the ulcer area.

Update 7/5: I noticed the ulcer had healed, and it doesn't hurt when I dab the gel on 姐姐's lips today. She was so happy she doesn't need to apply it anymore.

Ballet practise costume

姐姐 got her pink leotards and pink skirt today. She's floating on air trying them out. These are not machine washable so means I have more work to clean them.

However the shoes are another story. It's too small for her feet! I thought it's because I do not know how to wear them, but seeing Ms receptionist, Indon helper and auntie also cannot squeeze her feet in makes it so funny! Ms receptionist say 姐姐 didn't relax her feet when trying out her shoes. Aiyo, how does children know what's relax? Luckily the auntie confirmed that it's a size too small for 姐姐. I'd prefer to have bigger size so that she doesn't outgrow it too fast :) Let's see what they come up with next week.

Snapped a few photos through the door pane.

Have A Beautiful Smile!

The children's school have a introduction session with a dental nurse on caring for teeth and teeth brushing. All children are required to bring their own toothbrush, toothpaste and cup. When I pick them up, teacher Queenie told me 弟弟 opened his mouth wide and is very good in letting nurse check his mouth after brushing :) 姐姐 complaint that she didn't have toothpaste and teacher let her use some of her friend's as the toothpaste is in 弟弟's pack. Both children share this tube of children's toothpaste and we forgot they will be grouped by class.
