Monster

You pretended to put on makeup and started to walk around with your arms out, saying "Monster Monster" to scare everyone.

Don't shout at my didi

The 3 of you were at the porch area, just outside the living room  I was on the sofa.

JK took yuhe's toys (as usual). Yuhe went to take them back and said "these are mine". Then Wei en said "please don't shout at my didi".

I was taken aback. Ah ma was taken aback as she turned to look at me. Yuhe was talking at a slightly louder than usual volume but that hardly counts as a shout to me. 

Above all, my heart was bursting. I was so touched by Wei en who stood up for her brother. I almost teared. Ok, maybe I sounded too drama. But still. Proud of my daughter.

Jig Saw Jiejie

Jiejie and me were lying side by side on the bed. Didi ran towards us and free fall onto us.
I said "Didi don't do that! Later jiejie's bone also break how!" (Bad english. do not learn)
Of course didi is not listening at all and just laughed and jumped on the bed.

Jiejie said "Didi! Later only left papa take care of you then papa don't know which piece belongs where"
Jiejie looked at her hand and said to herself "maybe should write name her"

Only then i realised Jiejie had imagined "her bone breaking" to be multiple pieces of her, like jig saw puzzle.

Love each other

We were all at 奶奶's house. Aricia and Shervyl was there too.
The girls all went inside Amanda's room and locked it. It was a girls-only-room-no-boys-allowed play.
JK was outside and knocked the door. He tried to open the door few times but couldn't. He also got me to open.
I was expecting JK to be making a fuss as he would usually.
But instead, he looked at me, put up his hand and said "Wait".
He also entertained himself by pretending to be a wolf trying to blow the door down.
I felt heartbroken and touched at the same time. 
I was heartbroken that the girls didn't want to play with him, especially when the person who shouted "Lock the door" was his sister.
I was touched that JK was patient and didn't feel upset that they left him outside.
On the way home, I gave a lecture on how disappointed I was with her for not taking care of her brother.
I don't know how much she understood my nagging of "How would she feel if she was the one left at the door" but it warms my heart when she said "I want to say sorry to didi".

Please love and take care of each other always.
