No naps, early nights? Dilemma, dilemma...

Our cleaner finished with her ironing alot alot earlier today and it was all thanks to the new iron we've bought! Well, at least it's money well-spent then :)
And after she's left, we quickly made our way to waterloo street to get some stuffs - just on time for one item though and we'll hv to try get the rest(e.g. "Hua Lu You" for renee's recovering rash) other day. Renee's heat rash seems to be recovering especially after her devoting daddy had the air-conditioner switched on last night. However, this princess is making a habit of requesting, or rather, demand!, for her back to be scratched. It was the same when we were on our way back after our dinner at Wisma Atria. I was soo tired of it and I told her after her shower that if she still makes this request, I'm gonna let her stay with the 'gar gar' uncle and she went :
Renee : "no... rub only can?"
Mommy : "No, if you still make noise about it, then I'll ask uncle gar gar to scratch for you"
Renee : "no, please no...ok, I scratch myself ok?"
hahahahaha.
And when I came out of my shower, there she was on the sofa, with her daddy dutifully scratching her back and her falling into dreamland...
We were about to carry her back to her bed when some teenagers were making a din at the playground. Being directly upstairs from it, daddy decided to close the windows to block the noise to indulge his princess a peaceful, undisturbed sleep but that resulted in the air-conditioner to be switched on again... though I'm quite against it, but it's been rather stuffy these 2 days(there's still some wind from the bedroom window, but we can't enjoy the breeze from the study nor the hall) and I must admit that I'm enjoying the cooling effect as well... Yeah, right, just after I've told my friend, Karen to try not to do that :P heeeee

This afternoon, our dear 'Man of the house' had a good rest - he napped on the sofa, then continued on our newly changed(sheets) bed when the cleaner needed to mop the floor. Renee joined him wherever he napped as I was busy with the washing, preparing the ingredients and cooking her dinner, so when he went to our bed, she happily went along with her winnie pooh bear + spongebob there n acted like a big 'jie jie' to the toys lolz.

She will scold the winnie pooh and tell 'pooh' that 'spongebob' is a good boy, u must listen to Zhou Lao Shi, Madam Sock Hui, etc, etc... That sentence somehow made me realised that, perhaps she misses school ... :( arrrghh, that also reminded me that I must remember to call the school tmrw morning to check on the outcome and hopefully they won't drag any further if no refund is to be made so we can make a decision soon. It's such a dilemma - to let her resume(if no refund's to be given) or to stop for the time being(seeing that she misses school and even replied 'yes' when I asked her).

For these 2 days, she's been skipping her nap and declined her afternoon milk feed. However, she will ask for her milk much later, near dinner time and I'm wondering if I should let her skip the former(not the milk feed of cos. I'll try to let her continue with all 3x milk feeds/day, for as long as possible) and have an early night instead. However, that would mean a bed-time at 9pm which is fine with me but will this work with her daddy, especially when we have gatherings/visitations/outings?...
