Babywye turns 2!

Babywye is no baby no more, she just turned 2!

Lest I forget, these are what she can do now:

- Sings songs, able to sing ABC, twinkle twinkle, songs from Baby Jojo etc

- Follows her sister. Almost her first thought every morning. Always excited to go down to pick her up from sch.

- When she wakes up, she hugs one of her soft toys and comes out looking for me, sometimes greets me "good morning".

- Drinks 180, 150, 18ml. Started drinking independently about 2 months ago. Likes fresh milk too, but we avoid giving her too much as it's chilled.

- Loves strawberry blueberry durian

- Loves carrot cake

- Can speak in (mandarin) phrases comprising 5-6 words

- Identifies herself as her name, but says "mei mei, mei mei" when she asks for sth, like how we usually call out to her

- Automatically hugs nai nai when we visit. Finds yeye with toys after she's done with dinner

- Enjoys hopping

- Doesn't like to pose and/or look at camera for photos

- Sleeps about 11pm+ to 8+ am in the cot without waking up (occasionally if she does, I'll hush her and she goes back to zzz), then latches/ co sleep with wifey until 9+-10+ am

- Doesn't seem ready for toilet training, she signals only after her poop is out

- Porridge for her primary meals still. Tried rice the other day and she took ages to bite. Adept at self feeding.

- Vocab is expanding rapidly every day! 

- When she hears a commotion, she'll invite herself nearer and ask, "Se mo?" (什么?)

- If our response is "huh?" (like, are u sure?), she goes, "Zhen de 真的！"

Euro 2020 final

Putting it down for the record... 

England VS Italy , to be played at Wembley. England were the favourites (1.75 vs 1.90).

Busy betted $200 on England to win the trophy, JX and I ate his bet.

The game ended 1-1 and was decided on penalties. England was unlucky. But Jx and my pockets were lucky 😛

3.00am groggy finals: 

Praying to Phase 2C god

 3-5 August 2021

Happy Father's Day

From my dear wifey :)

Part 2 - polyclinic vaccination

They had done an investigation and interview with the nurse. The manager acknowledged that it was a lapse on the nurse’s part and apologised on her behalf. It was established that the nurse was not new nor unfamiliar with child vaccinations; on the contrary she is quite experienced and thus has little or no reason to have been lax with the procedures. The manager also shared that the nurse felt really sorry about it and requested to apologise personally to me, but the idea was turned down as it was not in line with the company’s policies (and I can understand).

I explained to the manager that the purpose of my feedback was not to cause trouble for the nurse, and that I don’t wish to affect her salary or morale either; whereas my good intention was to bring up my unfortunate experience as an oversight (on the nurse and their management), so that future newbie parents would not be discounted nor disadvantaged. Finally, I thanked the manager for her empathy and the excellent service recovery.

I’m really glad I put my doubts to rest with my feedback and the call from the manager. Hope that future patients will benefit from the improved level of service from the nurse and support system.
