“That's a No-no for Daddy"

I took Ms. A into the bathroom and she saw Reed's dirty clothes on the back of the toilet. She wasn’t too happy to see them and said “That's a No-no for Daddy, no clothes on toilet. Mommy will you clean them up?” She wouldn’t go to the bathroom until the clothes were put in the basket. When I put them away she said, “That’s where daddy’s clothes go.” :) I was so proud that she knows where dirty clothes belong.

The other day, Reed did something she didn't like and Ms. A stated "That's unacceptable daddy!" It was so adorable. :) Guess what Ms. A hears when she does something wrong.

Bukit Merah Resort

A co-worker of Reed's recommended this great place to visit. It is called Bukit Merah Resort. Bukit is hill in Malay and Merah means red. We enjoyed visiting the Ecopark, Orang Utan Island and the Waterpark. It was wonderful to see the animals. The island was interesting. Instead of the Orang Utans being in cages, we were. We walked inside an enclosed path that introduced us to 7 Orang Utans (ages 2 to 24 years) and 3 infants (ages 1 month to 2 years). Orang Utan's name derives from the Malay orang (person) and Indonesian (forest).

Ms A loved that these Orangutans were the same age as she was.

Reed and Ms. A loved the Waterpark! They played in the wave pool, Activity Pool and the Kids Adventure River. Reed went to discover more parts of the park while Ms A played in the sand. I got a little tired of waiting (he was gone for around 40 minutes), so Ms A and I went looking for him. We found each other and he, very excitedly, took us to where he disappeared for such a long time - The Boomerang! It is an exhilarating ride and the first and only one of its kind in Malaysia and in South East Asia. Reed went on it four or five times. He said it was the first ride in a long time that he was actually scared to try out, but he instantly fell in love with it. He enjoyed the ride so much that when I asked him to go again so I could record it, he and Ms. A quickly exited the pool. Afterwards, he stated that I should post the video to my blog! :) Check out his last ride.



Here's a link to our other video. I had issues uploading it.

We 'tached

Sweet Pea and her daddy were 'tached (attached). She kept on talking about being 'tached, but we couldn't figure it out until she wrapped the necklace around Reed. :)
She loves to wear her necklace and then put it around Reed or I.
Another favorite thing she and daddy like to do are chin nibbles. They had a great time playing together.

Sweet Pea Singing

I finally convinced Sweet Pea to sing the song. She was a bit distracted by the camera. We recorded her singing last night and this morning.

Little Einsteins

When Sweet Pea was a baby, she watched baby Einstein. It was the only way we could get her to eat.
One of the perks of our new place is the Playhouse Disney Channel on our cable tv, Intel pays for our cable tv. Ms. A loves to watch Little Einsteins. We will sit and watch the show while Sweet Pea repeatedly asks me "What's happening?" We talk about the story line and how June, Leo, Quincy, Annie and Rocket are helping someone/thing. We were watching Little Einsteins start this morning, when I heard Sweet Pea sing the opening song for the show. She did a pretty good job. At the end she raised her hands and said "Yeah!" I tried to grab the video camera, but I missed it. When I asked her to repeat the song, she shied away.

I just told Reed the story and he informed me that she knows DragonTales intro song. :)

Happy Easter

I found the cutest idea for mini Easter baskets for my Primary class: Easter idea. Here's a picture of my finish project.
It was very easy and I am terrible at making 3D paper projects. :) My only hint: stamp on both sides or use paper with designs on both sides.

For those interested in supplies, I used Stampin' Up's Groovy Guava paper, Wild Wasabi ink, Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon, Pixie Pink ink and their Polka Dots & Paisley stamp set.
