My little sweetheart,
Mummy has been very stressed lately because of your speech delay. After the one-hour discussion with your two teachers, Daddy and Mummy must make more effort to help you overcome the many obstacles you are facing now.
Today you did well in your first Show & Tell session at school. Mummy’s very proud of you. Although you didn’t say anything, but you were standing happily beside your teacher, showing your photos to all your little friends. Mummy’s happy enough to hear that and will let you bring more stuff to school for you to show and tell. I’m sure you will say something one day. Mummy’s waiting for that day…
Your teachers advised Mummy and Daddy that we shouldn’t be stressed as our stress will affect you too! Ah, sorry darling… Sometimes Mummy just can’t stop comparing you to other kids who are doing well in everything and that really makes Mummy stressed! It’s Mummy’s fault. Mummy should stay positive and work hard to help you.
When you said “Bus’s coming” while we were waiting for bus after school, Mummy felt so happy. At least you were trying to say something to me. Mummy knows you are trying very hard to express yourself. Everything will be fine…
Mummy enjoys every moment with you but we had some pretty embarrassing moments together too. While we were waiting for bus the other day, you suddenly groped Mummy’s breast and shouted, “Bras, it’s bras!” Oh sweetheart, please don’t do that again…although Mummy loves to hear your every word.
Take your time my little darling, everything will be fine. Daddy and Mummy will always be there for you!
Lots of hugs & kisses
Mummy
We went swimming yesterday and bumped into the same 3-year-old girl we met previously at the pool. The girl complained to her mum who was sitting on the bench when Qianyi kept following her. She doesn’t like Qianyi. Sigh.
This girl kept asking me and Hubby to play with her. When Hubby was busy playing with Qianyi, this girl came to me and said, “Play with me… We go up and play ok?” She wanted me to abandon my little princess! When I asked her to play with Qianyi, she said NO! 
There’s a new addition to the outdoor playground area at Qianyi’s school. Wow, they have just installed a 10 feet trampoline! It has enclosed netting that will keep the kids from falling over. Jumping on the trampoline is great fun. I’m sure my little girl will love her school more with all the fun-filled activities. 
Teacher Emilia told me Qianyi’s little sweetheart has just come back from holiday. That explained why I haven’t seen him for a while. Hubby and I were talking about this little boy the other night. We were wondering if he has gone back to his country for good.
I spotted Paulo this morning and I told Qianyi immediately, “Darling, it’s Paulo!” Oh, her eyes really lit up when she saw him. She smiled at him sweetly. When I was there to pick her up later, Teacher Emilia told me she was running around in joyous mood. She’s very happy to see Paulo again. When our bus passed her school, she looked at it and shouted “Paulo” because she knew Paulo was waiting for the school bus.
My first crush was in kindergarten. I was 6 then. I couldn’t believe my daughter would have her first crush at 3!
Qianyi has always been a mummy’s girl. She enjoys playing with Daddy but she loves Mummy the most.
When we are out of the house, she only allows me to hold her hand or carry her.
When she sees me packing rubbish, she would get ready to go out with me. She would bring along a ball or tricycle to play with me outside the house after throwing the rubbish. But if it’s Daddy who’s going out to do it, she would prefer to stay at home with me no matter how hard Daddy has tried to persuade her to go with him.
If she woke up from a bad dream without me around, she would cry pitifully and Hubby wouldn’t be able to calm her down.
When I scolded her and was angry with her, she came to me and hugged me tightly. She pushed Daddy away when he’s trying to make her feel better. It looked as if it’s all Daddy’s fault though she’s the one who made Mummy angry.
Ah, she’s already 3 but she still clings to me like koala bear…
We went swimming yesterday. The little one was so excited to see the swimming pool. She kept jumping into the pool with both feet and then laughed happily.
She didn’t want us to hold her. She tried to swim with the help of her arm floats. She enjoyed floating up in face-up position the most. She was looking at the sky with lovely smiling face.
It’ s been more than a year since we last visited a swimming pool. Qianyi is much taller (She’s 101 cm two months ago). Her other swimsuits are too small for her now.
Qianyi is truly late in her speech development. She can’t really talk yet but she loves repeating what we say to her. When she climbs onto the table, she would say, “Don’t climb…it’s dangerous…careful!”
She sings more too. When we are out of the house at night, she would look at the sky and sing “Twinkle twinkle little star”.
One of her teachers had a brief chat with me yesterday. She asked me if Qianyi’s able to tell me what happened at school. No, she can’t do it yet. The teacher said Qianyi would open her golden mouth only when she’s getting very excited.
Qianyi and Paulo (a Brazilian) are very close. They play together everyday. I’ve noticed that Paulo is a very quiet boy. I was very surprised when the teacher told me Paulo actually can’t speak English! She found it strange because both of them hardly talk but could get along so well. Ah, how do they communicate with each other? How can Qianyi improve her speech by spending so much time with a quiet boy?
