swollen eye

Eryn woke up crying this morning and complaining that one of her eye cannot be opened.

I took a look at her and saw the her left eye was quite swollen. She had been having a tiny bulging dot on her left eye for almost a week. DH had put a drop of eye gel when it first swell and it was ok for a few days before it swells morning. Could be because we didn't continue giving her the eye gel.Her first reaction was not wanting to go to school at be at home with me. Good excuse, and so I kept her at home with me.Took her to the kindy for a while though cos the lion dance troupe were at the kindy. She didn't want to step into the kindy and I had to carry her. She buried her face in my shoulders and didn't want to see the lion dance, her teachers and the classmates.

When her friends start calling her, she pretended she didn't hear. This little girl of mine is so cheeky.

Anyway, it's nice to be home with Eryn today. Gotta go give her lunch and am taking her out to visit a friend. hehe

Words Twist

My boy likes to disturb his little sister by immitating her in the things she says and do. He's also got this tendency to twist sentences and words around which irritates us at home. He finds it funny but stops short for a while, when daddy scolds him, before continuing the words twist in whispers.

Here's just some of the things he says :

Case 1 :
Eryn : Mummy, can I go to jie-jie's house and play Barbie doll again?
Brendan : Huh? What? You want to play with pig doll? You play with a pig? hahahahahaha

Case 2 :
Mummy : Brendan, you better eat some herbal chicken. It's good for you. You're too skinny.
Brendan : I don't want purple chicken.
Mummy : It's not purple chicken. It's herbal chicken.
Brendan : No, it's not herbal chicken. Just give me the purple chicken.

Case 3 :
Poh-Poh : Brendan, don't play and eat faster. You "bi3 sai4" (mandarin for compete/challenge) with mei-mei and see who eats faster.
Brendan : HAHAHA (super loud). " Pi3 sai4" (hokkien for those dried snots, or whatever you call it, in your nose). Mei-mei, you want "pi3 sai4" ar?
Eryn : NO!!!! MUMMY!! Kor-kor want me to eat tahi!! (malay word for faeces)

Now, on the other hand, Eryn is a big whiner. When Brendan does this thing with those words and disturb Eryn, she will start whining and complaining and sometimes cry, and it goes something like this :

Eryn : (singing) I said hey..... Ah be gun-duh-dere..... la la la ah be gun-duh-dere
Brendan : Mei-mei, you sing it wrongly already.
Eryn : Eeeeeeee...... You don't say ar.....
Brendan : (singing) Hey.... Ah be gun-duh-dere....
Eryn : Arrggghhh!!!! Mummy!!!! (whining and complaining) Kor-kor follow me talk!!
Brendan : hahaha... Mummy!! Kor-kor follow me talk!! (immitates Eryn)
Eryn : (starts crying and stamps her feet)

Sigh! People say that my girl talks non-stop and my SIL says that my house must be really noisy with these two fellas voices. Tell me about it

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
