Yes, teachers did a wonderful job teaching her how to dance and dolling her up for that day.

HOWEVER... Our little Miss Lee cried on stage, looking for mummy! *fainted*

Gugu's Birthday Celebration

Yesterday, the whole family, including Gonggong, Popo, Gugu and Michelle Ah-yi went out for lunch to have a belated celebration for Gugu's birthday. Our initial plan was to go to Crystal Jade, but there was a long queue. We made our way to Soup Restaurant at Century Square instead. We ordered chef-recommendations. Reyanne loved the Teochew Olive Fried Rice so much so that she ate 4 small bowls in all! That was equavalent to 2 adult bowls! Gugu, Ah-yi and I had to keep our share for her in case she wants more, and true enough, she asked for more!!

Well, it's not that surprising to me at least... she started to like Olive Vegetables when we ate plain porridge, even though she usually pushes away any food that is black or dark-coloured. She has always preferred rice to noodles. So Rice + Olive Veg = Yummy lunch!

At night, Reyanne was also excited about cutting the cake. Auntie Michelle told her if she said, "Happy Birthday" to Gugu every weekend, she will get to eat a cake every Sunday. Haha...now I am worried if Gugu and Auntie can keep their promise! Kids have elephant memories...so they said.

When it was time for cake-cutting, Gugu is requested to change into something nicer. Reyanne said, " I want Gugu Pink Pink!"(which is her favourite colour)... so Gugu who is ever-cooperative with her, went to dig out his Pink T-shirt! Haha...thank you Gugu!

Everyone enjoyed the Black Forest with Chocolate flake cake... Happy Birthday Gugu!

Ryan walks his first 2 steps!

Last Friday, little Ryan took his first two steps! Haha... He is faster than Reyanne in almost everything. Flipped at 3 months plus, crawled at 4 months, started standing at 6 months, making his way around with support of furniture at 8 months, now he can stand up on his own (still not as stable though) and take 2 steps at 9 months plus!

Let me recall Reyanne's... she flipped at 4 months, started crawling at 6 months and only tried to stand up at 11 months...started walking slightly after 12 months! So that's what everybody says, "Boys are boys."

True.

So...what is Ryan going to do at 1-year-old ? Fly ??

Yesterday, Ryan had stomach flu. This poor boy had fever in the morning and started having diarrhea...till now, 8 times in all. Luckily the clinic was opened till 11pm on Sundays. Ryan poo-ed till his butt was a bit redder, so he cried whenever he was being washed. Hopefully, he will recover by today.
