Back to School

So, it's back to school today and the co-incidental timing(s) allowed the few of us mommies to have a little chat.

Something 'cute' happened this morning when we were on our way to the school. We were in the elevator when it stopped at a lower floor, for a mother and son(from his size, he must have been only a little younger than Renee) and Renee kept smiling at the boy. Then, she bent over to look at him face-to-face and went to 'gili gili'(like we adults normally do when tickling a baby on the chin) him with her finger! The boy, though younger and slightly shorter than her, he's still 'bigger' in build, so this gesture really tickled all those in the lift and everyone grinned, lolz.

In the school, as we approached the classroom, her classmates(being curious as they are) all turned to 'see who' and when they saw her, quite a few of them grinned and waved happily to her! This scene brought on wonderful feeling - that she's well-liked by her friends in school and that's a real comfort... :)

After our dinner, I reminded Renee that we'd be celebrating her grandma's birthday this saturday and she said she want to buy grandma a present... awww, sooo sweet. So I suggested to her to make a card and daddy told her to write 'ahmah' on it, she said : "but I don't know how to write, mommy you teach me how to, can?" and went on to say that she want to draw a cake on it hahaha.

Daddy's suggestion must have came 'big' due to my telling him that Renee's writing the following, all on her own(school hasn't taught yet and I didn't guide her on this) :

Oh, it's marketing day tomorrow! Hurray and oh no... why? First, I get new/fresh foodstock again and oh no, I have to wake up much earlier! lolz

Bottle Weaning Update

Remember how I'd abandoned this 'training' some time ago for fear that she might reject milk as a result? On Monday, when I fetched Renee home, I gave her milk in the milk bottle and she finally came to terms that it is not as comfortable to drink milk that way in the car, s0 she told me to give it to her in a straw in the future. So, it is so this afternoon and she seemed to enjoy it.

Earlier, for her night feed, she again, asked for it to be given to her with a straw and I took the opportunity to ask her if she'd like that for all her milk feeds from now on and she replied yes... Well, shall see how, tomorrow morning hahaha.

*Hmmm, I wonder if the loss of my purchase of the 2 bottle nipples(which I had a hard time finding lately) a sign of the weaning? hahaha
