supertrees_lights on

mr s project is finally opened to the public and we made an impromptu visit to see the supertrees light show last friday.leanne was thrilled with the surprise outing and was busy snapping photos of her daddy's super tree.

empathy

I think children have a lot more empathy than we thought they would have. Leanne, at three and a half, would tear when she watches a sad scene on tv.

She is into watching Korean dramas!!! Thanks to mommy dearest :-P. There was a scene in the Korean drama showing the back of a woman walking alone in the dark and Leanne asked ‘mommy, when is she so sad?’

Yesterday, we were watching national geographic. It showed the mother giraffe protecting her baby giraffe from the lions. The mother giraffe trampled on her baby while trying to fend off the lions and upon realizing that her baby had died, the mother giraffe left and the lions came back to feast on their prey. Leanne asked me what happened to the baby giraffe and after I explained to her, she broke down in tears and started howling and said ‘ the mommy will be so sad’… our little darling.

leanne's doodles

leanne has seen mr s drawing the house for isabel's mommy and she started drawing her own house. She said the four little circles are the windows with rooms behind. her attention to detail also amazes us when she added the little door knob to her door.

the sticks family:  the top right one is mommy, the top left is leanne, the bottom right is mei mei, the bottom left is daddy, spiderman.

this was drawn the morning after the sticks family- the jellyfish man as leanne terms him...

leanne growing up...

There was one morning I took away leanne's tub of stars leaving her with an empty bowl as punishment for not listening repeatedly. Then I saw her sitting on the floor facing the gate with her empty bowl and her baby rabbit next to her. I heard her telling her babby, the rabbit, that mommy had no star in her bowl. she then took the rabbit's hand to pretend to put some stars into the bowl....
