Sophie Unwraps

Sometimes, you don't need elaborate and expensive presents to make a kid happy. It's Christmas morning and Sophie was unwrapping her presents. See how she got really excited to find a huge Hello Kitty colouring book! She even gave the kitty picture two loud smooches.

When Sophie opened the book, she had a realization and dropped the book immediately. I thought she was bored and ready to move on to the next gift. And it wasn't what it seemed. And actually I only realised what she was trying to do after playing back the video.

So Sophie dropped the book, had a realization, and ran into the kitchen shouting "curry! curry!". That's because she opened the book and realized that it was a colouring book. So she ran into the kitchen to look for CRAYONS, because she knew which drawer they were kept in the kitchen. She wanted to draw in her new colouring book! What a funny girl! But I think her trotting away is really cute!

MOCHA!

The first time Sophie took the car rides alone at Happy Hollow, she freaked out.
The second time she took the rides again, she totally enjoyed it. She even requested for a second ride and a third ride.
And now this is her favourite video-always requesting to watch it. When she kept shouting MOCHA! MOCHA! and tapped her fingers togethr, I was wondering why she wanted Coffee! It turned out that she meant More-Car!

Jollibee bee

Sophie chomping on Jollibee drumstick in the car. Oh so unhealthy, but besides bread there was nothing else for her to eat. She loves chicken recently!!
Sucking...
Chewing off the cartilage...
Crunching away at the bone...
Yummy!!

Little girls love feeding fishies

Our original plan of going to the indoor playground was thwarted because Sophie had a fever, but gramps took us to Botanic Gardens for a stroll, so all was good.

 The tots love feeding the fishes (although we were not supposed to...). The pond was filled with turtles, luo-han yu and catfish. They all gathered around for a feast. The catfish just opened up their mouths like a hippo, the luo-han yu getting some and the poor turtles plainly losing out. Gloria demonstrated feeding and Sophie quickly caught on. Watch their wind-back!

Soup GIrl and Milo Girl

These two chaps were up at 5 am because we were catching a flight to return to reality.

Gloria loves Milo. Sophie loves Soup.

Sophie is really improving on her fine motor skills. See how she can coordinate her left hand to hold the bowl with her right hand to hold the spoon and drink up! This was very salty, porky fiish ball soup at the T3 food court. But who cares, I'm glad that she enjoys her soup!
