Beaches

It's official. My daughter's afraid of the beach. I wonder what's so terrifying about the beach. I observed there are several things about the beach she's terrified.

1. She's terrified of the sound of waves splashing on the shore.

2. She's terrified of the waves chasing after her.

3. She's terrified of the sand.

4. She's terrified of the feeling of the sand under her feet.

5. She's terrified of the big red ants she saw on the beach. (Our beaches are getting dirtier)

I don't understand what's so terrifying. I wasn't afraid of the beach when I was young. I loved it till now. I hope it won't be a life long thing for her. Otherwise I'll be disappointed. This must be daddy's fault. She must've taken after her dad. :P

Man's Best Friend

Wanna make me smile, laugh or stop crying? Show me this dog and make it sing. I especially love to hear all the songs when you press the parts on my body.

Seriously, when all else fails, I rely on this dog to stop him from crying. Unless he is really sick and very cranky then no matter how I make the dog sing to him won't stop him from crying. But other than that, this dog is really a man's best friend. :) Thanks Aunty Noi for the gift!

I can turn over already!

Joseph can turn over already. This little tike couldn't wait for me to put his clothes on. He's just too excited to be able to turn over.

He is one active boy. Phew! I'm really worked up. I guess boys are more active than girls.

Eliza and her pillow

Aww...aren't they adorable? Eliza wanted to sleep on my bed with Joseph. Both ended up sleeping facing away from each other. Like a couple after a fight. I hope they both will grow up and continue to be close to each other. Otherwise there will be more headache for me if they fight often.

Eliza is very much in love with her pillow. As you can see, she needs it for sleeping. And when she's not sleeping she will hold on to it any moment she can get. She'll smell it or kiss it or even make funny noises.

So one day she told me, "Mommy, this is pillow pillow's eyes."

I said, "Huh? Oh is it? Then where's the ears?"

"There!" Pointing to the corners of the pillow.

"Then this is the nose and this is the mouth"

"Ohh.."

You know she is exactly like me. When I was small I had a favourite pillow also and I used to imagine the pillow's facial features at the spots where she imagined them to be too. Like mother like daughter.
