Ricket,
Definitely fun. I never knew parenthood is so much fun. : )

Helen,
I wonder if it’s training or by nature.
I know some parents like to frighten kids by saying “after uncle will catch you”, etc. We never frighten Zara that way, but I wonder even if we did, was she going to be afraid of strangers.

See Fei,
Oh boy. Zara is also pretty isolated. She has not kids her age to play with. I’m really thinking if I should send her to nursery next year.

Samm,
Thumb sucking is so natural though.
We had to decide back then if we wanted to give Zara the pacifier or the thumb.. We decided to let her have her own control, so it was the thumb.
Luckily she’s going to wean off soon.

About the thumb sucking thingy…. u remember the last 3d scan i post on my blog sometime b4 Malcolm was due? He had a hand over his left cheek. I thought he had his left hand there. But, apparently, it’s his right hand with his thumb inside his mouth. Does that quite often now, especially when he’s about to nurse. Hope he doesnt turn into a thumb sucker.

the mum is not working and should be spending enough time with her. but maybe she (daughter) is isolated as they dont mix with their neighbours

I think it’s a good thing Zara is not afraid of strangers. That makes her so lovable!! lol

I’ve seen kids who burst out crying when i approach or try to be nice to them. *roll eyes… as if I’m that ugly meh…??!* Fine, no ang pows for non-fans of mine! lol

Jesslyn,
I’ll blog about it later huh? Keep you suspended first. 😛

Immomsdaugther,
She ‘knows’ doesn’t mean she’ll practice.. Haha.. I have to remind her all the time to be nice.

Geetha,
Stay tune.. will blog about it (monitoring her to see if she’ll really succeed). Yes..they are really cute when they suck their thumb,

Sesame,
From our conversations with her.. she seems to be a bit unhappy about having a ‘baby’.. I hope she’ll cope though. For our sake.

Mom2Ashley,
Yes.. they are really cute.

Michelle,
Yeah she learns very fast and we talk a lot to her..
I just hope I can do the same for the 2nd child.

Blurblur,
I hope she will be a good jiejie too.

See Fei,
Every child is different though.. so maybe your friend’s daughter will catch up soon. Do you know if you friend spend enough time with the kid?

Earthember,
But I’ll just miss her being so so cute. *sigh*

Voltboy,
I’m trying to speak to her in Chinese once a while.. but she will just ignore me when I do that or she will just tell me “bu yao” or ‘Don’t want” as in she doesn’t want me to use Chinese. But I’m still trying.

She weaning off by herself???? How?

Just out of curiosity. Would you be pushing lil’ Zara to learn Chinese later? So she doesn’t have to just memorise the sounds. =P

Good thing she’s weaning off thumbsucking. You surely don’t want her to have a deformed thumb. I’ve seen it in many kids, it’s not very sightly.
