Yvette woke up at 7 am this morning and refuse to go back to her slumber. I have to follow suit despite I am still feeling sleepy.
Our day started with playing her favourite Train Puzzle then we moved on playing her kitchen set. While she was busying telling me “Cook Mama”, I have to head kitchen to prepare breakfast for her.
My sister woke up around close to 8 and the first word she said was, “wow! you so early!”
Yeah, I replied. She is early. (She slept around 10 plus close to 11 pm yesterday.)
After playing for around 2 hours, I bathed her and started to do some reading and played some educational programme on TV. (I watched with her.) Then I cooked Lunch while she moved on playing her mega block.
She kept asking me to bring her down with her 3-wheels and I eventually agreed to her request when the rain finally stopped. We went down and that took us more than half an hour.
She is actually very happy when I finally agreed to come down but I didn't know why she is so grumpy when I tried to take picture for her.
When we were back home, she went back to her kitchen set and continue with her cooking while I fed her porridge. (Hey, she only want to play!!!)
She napped at near 1 pm where I can get some rest.
While she was having her nap, I ironed the clothing, make preparation for dinner and finally could place my bottom on my bed, she opened her eye!!!
Arrr… she’s up after 2 hours nap!!! (so short!)
We did everything we played this morning. (Play train puzzle, play kitchen set, read books, revised 我会读, etc.)
I cooked dinner at near 6 in the evening, (Soup already in the pot when she napped.) and she helped me with some simple chores.
Dinner at 7 pm and that made her sat on the chair for half an hour and off she went to play her toys again. (She really like to play her toys a lot.) She continued with all her puzzles. (Yes, she plays every single puzzle we have at home today.)
Finally she off her slumber at 10.30 pm.
Wow, I can’t imagine I have to spend everyday with her in this routine. I better plan more activities for her outside of home to keep my sanity!!!
Once In A LifeTime 
haha – i used to do that with my daughter. I would start to cook the dinner during breakfast. Or even the night before – put everything in the crockpot for soup/stew. Abit early, but then it’s so that when she takes her afternoon nap, i can do a very quick preparation and rest abit.
I cannot imagine doing all that now! Think I’m not so energetic as before.
I am older than you when you had your daughter around Yvette’s age. Imagine my energy level is not high as well…. 😦
I used to go through this phase with my elder boy…. So I can really understand what you are going through. Very tiring!!! 😦
One word – SIONG!!!
Wah I agree, very siong! You must be super exhausted… I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep up with our kiddo when he’s Yvette’s age
Your baby doesn’t seem to be as naughty as compare to my child. I hope he will not give you hard time when he gets older!
You just trudge along, and live on borrowed energy. Imagine having a few kids! 😉
That why I ask you out for date. Borrow your energy.
And seriously, I always think you are super mum and someone I can learn a lot from. 4 kids, 1 house, 1 career!!!
the grass always looks greener on the other side, that’s all.
