Name your feeling?

Meimei was facing issues dealing with emotions (aka throwing tantrums) so Yx drew and stuck this note on the door for her sister's reference ☺️

Girls made a birthday card for nainai

In the morning before nainai's birthday lunch celebration, the girls woke up before us and hand-drew a birthday card for their grandma.

Yx designed the card and both of them filled it with their creative drawings.

This card isn't for me but I love how self-initiated it was and how innocent the family faces were drawn. 😊

In red: Mama. In green: Papa. The tiny face: Ye in mama's tummy.

Last post of the year

We're into the final thirty minutes of 2021. Last post of the year so a piece of golden advice from #wyx6 random writings:

"When you get upset, take a breath and cool down".

Yx drawings

Yx is into writing now.

She used to be very worried about getting words spelt wrongly, and after much encouragement, she dares to conjure up the words as she imagines them to be. 

We give her 5 stars for her effort and courage.

Another 5 stars for her very neat handwriting too!

Are you able to make out the items in her "mannou" (menu)?

My birthday card

Throwback Dec 2020: 

Received a most touching bday card from darling first-born. It was the night before my birthday but Yx had hidden this secret from me for a few days now; she couldn't hold it back any more and barged into the toilet (whilst I was having my shower) and asked, "Papa do you want to see your birthday card?"

And here it was.

Favourite activities with Papa, she said.

Thank god for giving us this charming sweetheart.

Yx's comic

Recently, Yx is very much into drawing.

She will sit at her table, grab a pen and quietly doodle.

A few days ago, she came up with a few sequential drawings of her family and herself, they seem almost to form a comic of a morning routine. I love the fact that she draws happy faces of everyone and that she's integrated her baby sis into her perspective :)

Description of the drawings, as explained by artist Yx herself:
1) Yx and meimei waking up in the morning
2) Morning toilet routine
3) Yx makes milk for her sister
4) Yx carries her sister to choose what clothes to change into
5) Yx and sister entering their parents' room, who are still asleep
6) Sister lying on the sofa, and Yx peering over the back of the sofa
7) Playing in the living room.

Amusing drawing by wyx

Yx is recently into drawing and writing. Very much. She would grab a marker and paper and sit down at her table, fully engrossed in letting her creative juices flow. She also learnt how to write words by referring to her books.

Love how randomly funny her drawings are. Sometimes she draws us and/or her friends. Sometimes she draws cars. Sometimes she writes random words in erroneous spellings. Presenting an example:

At the top right: Bob and Larry, from her favourite DVD cartoon 'VeggieTales' (below image from google). She drew them from her memory.

Centre left: Herself (labelled), with a red face. Wifey asked why her face was like that, and Yx replied it was because she was angry that mama wanted her to eat potato. You can see a chicken hand (apparently mama's hand) holding a round thing (potato). LOLOLOL this kid!

Some other drawings:

That's YE laying on my lap

Yx loves to draw. She lets her creativity take over when she does. 

Lion Dance

Very consistent drawings. She's beginning to draw hands and legs now.

She observed our wedding portrait and drew out her best impression of it.
