Just the other day, I was in my room, doing my things. Gracie wandered in, and said innocently, "Jie Jie, bao bao (carry), xi shou (wash hands)".
I was stunned, and involuntarily let out a "huh?". No, I totally understood what she was trying to get across.
"Jie Jie, bao bao. Xi shou (she pronounced it as "ti tou" instead, due to her poor articulation at this tender age), bao bao." She repeated again, and with even better clarity this time round.
Oh gosh, my girl is getting better at forming (incomplete) sentences and making words association! I'm glowering with pride! Sob!

2 weeks ago, on Monday, Grace started her first day at the day-care center.

We thought she's having a bit of a problem adapting to the new routine and unfamiliar environment. Within 2 weeks, she has lost approximately 1kg. Gone are her chubby cheeks and cute lil thunder thighs. And she is so clingy and dependent on others of late; which is truly not how I've known her to be. She has been really cranky and erratic. Crying and wailing and pouting and crying. This is such an aberration from her usual independent, cherry self.
It has already been 2 whole weeks. Gradually, we ruled out the possibility of the transition into day-care center. Finally, we realized the probable root cause of her misery. She's teething.
Oh my! My girl is growing UP! She's teething already! Already!
Pretty soon she'll be wearing a mortar board, graduating from varsity, getting married, and having kids of her own.
Awww...
