I say a prayer with Megan before she sleeps every night. Last night, after listening to mommy pray and saying good night to Jesus, two-year-old Megan turned around, looked me in the face and said:

"Good Girl, Mommy!"

I was so amused that I only managed to respond after good few seconds with a "Thank you, sweetie..."

The lil' one has also been telling our helper "Good job!" whenever auntie Yani did something to the little princess' satisfaction.

When she starts going to school, she is so going to turn the whole house into her classroom, make all the adults become her students and call her "Miss Megan". Oh, my future is so bright.

I've been too lazy to update this blog, but have been posting some photos on facebook, so I am going to let the pictures do the talking. Thanks for checking on this website from time to time, and I will try to update this as I upload photos on facebook. Click on the links to see the albums.

First of all, Megan had just turned two! She had two intimate and endearing birthday parties in Singapore and Hong Kong, with her favorite Spongebob and Dora respectively. She is also turning into quite a feisty little toddler who knows what she wants, and is not one to suffer fools. Like her mommy, she has developed a fondness for shoes, mangoes, durians, shoes, ben and jerrys, shoes, chanels, shoes and shoes, and both Megan and mommy have been getting their share of eye-rolling from Megan's papa because he couldn't believe that God has given him another woman to fight over his shoe and wardrobe space. But that's another story for another time. The past two years with her had been nothing short of wonderfulness, and we are grateful that God has granted us with this sweet child, she who shows her mommy what love is, and teaches her mommy forgiveness. I look forward to many, many more years with my babe.

In other news, Megan's parents went for a holiday late last year and early this year.

web metrics In an effort to dissuade the little one from hijacking my laptop all.the.time, I bought her a kiddy laptop which was on sale. Nevermind that the package recommended it for children five years and above. As long as she liked it and left mine alone, why not?
 
It was love at first sight.

She knew exactly where the ON button was..


Let's move that mouse..


See, I can type as fast as my mummy!

The babe's inventory as at two months ago. We have added a few more to the stock since then. *The husband just sighed -again- as he eyeballed his wife's and daughter's ever expanding shoe collection*. 


Mummy's favorite -- she totally looks like a doll in this pair of canvas


Megan's favorite. These Jack & Lily's are oh-so-soft and comfy that the 'lil on/ie would choose to wear them
most of the time. 


"I go with this pair today"


"But let's get a pedicure first!"




Mmm...I wonder who she takes after.

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'

The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'

God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

web metricsMegan, like me, was born with comparatively little hair. Like my mom, I do not believe in in the old wives' tale that shaving an infant's hair would help it grow back thicker and fuller. My mom did not shave off my brother's and my hair when we were infants and we both sport full, thick hair. To each her/his own, I simply could not bring myself to put a razor to my baby's head -- it just sounded like a very bad idea and actually abusive. And why does it have to grow faster? Babies have a long way to go and the hair will get there soon enough. Whenever I come across another baby's hair shaved, I couldn't resist muttering "It's genetics, stupid!" under my breathe.

But I digress. So with Megan's very little hair she needed all but 3 haircuts in the past year. Her first haircut was done by the husband. He snipped off so much of her already scarce hair that she looked like she really belonged to a parent who had no idea whatsoever (well, I think the husband *really* didn't at that time). So when the babe was due for her subsequent haircuts, I fended off all his ernest, persistent offers to pick up the scissors and brought her to a salon.

Photos from Megan's 1st visit to the salon -- these were taken 3 months ago:

Which hairstyle should I choose?

"Please make sure it doesn't turn out like my previous haircut.."

Very serious and watching every snip of the scissors..

Done! (I couldn't get a better picture)


And now a rant: Her most recent haircut was one of the worst experience I've had in a salon. We went to a neighborhood salon near our apartment. Poor Megan was brawling her eyes out because she was feeling tired and the hairdresser didn't have much patience for babies -- at one point he was using a little too much force to my liking to get Megan tilt her head the way he wanted her to and I was on the verge of doing one of my WTFs to him but lucky him, I think he saw my I AM GOING TO KILL YOU glare and reversed his attitude gears. That place left such a bad taste in my mouth that I refuse to pollute my blog with photos of that forsaken salon. End of rant.

Good night and out.

When Megan and mommy went back to Singapore again in May, mommy 's initial worry that Megan would act up, create a scene and embarrass mommy to no end (because papa wasn't there to share the embarrassment) during the flights was unfounded. The little lady proofed to be the perfect travel companion!

At the airport: Making sure the luggage and baby are not left behind
Megan did a good job watching over the luggage

Looking out at the planes

Hi Mommy!
