Since Zara started school beginning of the year, the girls have been infected with all kinds of viruses.
\nZaria gets fever almost every fortnightly.
\nZara gets cough, runny nose frequently.
\nBoth girls have their first course of antibiotic this year. *sigh*
\nThe girls have never looked so dirty before, there’s always snot on their faces, and dried booger in their noses.<\/p>\n

It’s school holidays and Zara is home whole day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n Zaria is pointing at things and naming them, or some times asking us to name them. The other day, she pointed to a picture of a computer on a book and said, “(compu)Ter.”<\/span> and started tapping the picture with her fingers from both hands mimicking typing.\u00c2\u00a0 (She must have seen me typing in mine and connected the two.) \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n My uncle met Zaria for the first time and wanted to carry her. Zaria waved her index finger and said, “No No.”<\/span> And then patted her chest, indicating she’s afraid of him.<\/p>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n Had a conversation with Zara the other day about milk.
\nThis morning we have this conversation,
\nZara : Mummy, you going to work today?<\/span>
\nMe : Yes. Mummy will be working at home.<\/span>
\nZara : Mummy, don’t work today. You play with me.<\/span>
\nMe : No, Mummy must work, or else, will have no money to buy food.<\/span>
\nZara : You use my money loh mummy.<\/span>
\nMe : You have money meh?<\/span>
\nZara : You use my money from my ang pow. Then you no need to work loh.<\/span>
\n(if only it was that simple).<\/p>\n
\nShe’ll point to an object (mainly from books), “(What is) This?”<\/span> and turn to look at us to wait for an answer.<\/p>\n
\nZara : Milk comes from cow<\/span>
\nMe : Yes. Which part of cow gives out milk?<\/span>
\nZara : Milk comes from the breast<\/span>
\nMe : Yup. Girl cow or boy cow have breast?<\/span>
\nZara : Girl cow. But I’m a small girl. I only have nipple, I don’t have breast. Mummy have breast, so mummy got milk. Daddy also only have nipple, so Daddy don’t have milk.<\/span>
\nNever knew we can differentiate nipple and breast in that way. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
