Toys

We have joined the membership in Toys Library Manukau. It's a non-profit organisation. We've paid NZD56 per year and eligible to borrow 5 toys each time. We personally think it's a good way to let her learn about sharing, that she can not always get the toys she wants and demand to buy this and that when we go out. We still work on the 'sharing' part, but she has never taken any toys in the mall and refused to put them back.

Besides, she gets to play with all sorts of toys and for us, we save storage and $$ as the toys are so expensive!!!! She is always very looking forward to visit the library.

Today, due to the time constraint, Benedict has to go alone. Val was so happy when he's back, especially he came back with Thomas The Train. She took the trains and hide them in the other Fisher Price's toys, walked around the toy pretending she lost the toys. Then, she opened the drawer and said: Oh~~~Thomas....

Benedict, then, brought her to a primary school's Gala. She went with her friend, Adela and family. When they came home, I locked the door and asked for magic word and she said: Ai Ni, mama.....ahhaha....cheeky little thing......=)

I made her to go for a bath....from the photo, you can see how much she enjoyed her bath....normally till we pour the water down from her head......she will screamed like we are abusing her. Won't be surprise to get a visit from the cops one day.

NZ has passed the smacking bill. Now, we are not allowed to smack our children. I've read the newspapers one day, the neighbour rang the cops re: screaming kids etc....and the cops turned up and it's just because the kids are having their tantrums!!!
