That Mom Of Four

Nyx was having a cold yesterday when I took these pictures so her nose resembles that of Rudolph the reindeer. Yup, they still love holding hands. I had to nag and nag at Nyx to stop holding Meimei's hands cos sometimes she wipes her snot with her hands and I worry that Nya will catch a cold too. You probably also noticed the "thing" sticking out of Nyx's mouth. No the pacifier isn't hers. Its Nya's but Nyx keeps finding ways and means to get more attention from her daddy and I, and this sucking on the "tutu" is one way method she finds highly effective. I had already weaned her off it when she was 18months old but for the past week she kept stealing Nya's pacifier and runs to us showing that she can be as cute as her sister. The first few times she did it we kept telling her to stop and it was wasn't hers, then we'd try to take it away from her. So even though she gets told off, she still achieved her goal (getting attention).

Here's a picture I took of her two bottom teeth in front cutting through the gums.

The day before yesterday was when I first noticed Nya's bottom two front teeth cutting through her gums. So since she's always been drooling tonnes of saliva since day one as an infant, she now drools even more........ Thankfully she's just as cheerful as ever and happy as a clam, none of that crankiness and irritability that accompanies the teething period. I'll try to take a few pictures using my camera's macro function later when the little tyke wakes up, hopefully it doesn't come out as a blur. Recently Nyx has started to help herself to her little sister's pacifiers! Holey moley...... I reckon its due to her wanting to get more attention, cos she obviously knows she's not supposed to do that. This week I've managed to teach her all the colours, counting up to 20 (she pronounces 15 as five-teen and 17 as sehburnteen), and the names of african animals. She's also getting so good at babysitting Nya. Sometimes when Nya falls asleep next to her o...

This afternoon Asher followed Lily along to yoga class and Guojun took some pictures of him during the lesson. See how he's grown! He's now 4 and a half months old and really quite a cheerful bundle of joy too.

Today's lesson was about the seaside so this evening I decided to take Nyx to the oyster farm where there are several things she can relate to such as boats, the shore, seagulls, the water and sand.  She kept bugging me to let her carry Nya so for a short while I let the two girls ride together in the stroller.

Its really hard keeping the two girls apart, sometimes I feel like they're just a pair of magnets. Even when I'm trying to change Nya's diapers Nyx wants to have a hand in it. Just last week I suffered abdominal pains from laughing too much cos while I changing Nya's diapers I left her butt naked on the changing mat for awhile to "air" and Nyx was kissing her sister's tummy but her face was positioned sort of between Nya's legs. All of a sudden Nya farted and Nyx got a shock from getting hit in the face by something so smelly. She cringed and told me "Meimei Ah-choo down there". Usually she will say meimei "poot!" I think she was delirious. We also took some pictures of Nyx here practicing Pilates and Yoga on her own. She can follow instructions quite well too.

Our model Nya Oon here is donning Gap and Osh Kosh sponsored by her godma Michelle who went all the way to New York to shop for these lovely outfits. Miss Nyx also got a Gap and Old Navy dress also chosen by Michelle. Thanks dearie, and to nanny Larry (a.k.a.) Cheryl for shipping the huge box of clothes here. It felt like Christmas lor! hahaha.....

Video of Nyx prancing to her favourite bathroom song now and below is a typical revision "period". Nya has to sit in during Nyx's lessons so she can pick up early, haha.

Spot the Meimei I have decided against shaving the royal Meimei's hair as the bald spot on the back of her head is sprouting quite abit of hair already, phew! In the meantime we shall just cover up with some of mommy's and older sis's hats.

The "always-holding-hands" girls Scary part of the show. "mei mei I'll protect you!" So this is how the two girls watch TV together now, after the quarantine. Its been such a painful couple of weeks trying to keep the two girls apart.
