A Teary Birthday Party

We celebrated Jaimie's birthday in advance today as Clement will be out of town on her actual birthday date. However, Jaimie is still unwell. In fact, her fever came back today and her runny nose got worse.

Anyway, we went ahead with the celebration as planned because we had invited our guests.

Jaimie was super cranky and teary when her grandparents and uncles came. She hung on to Clement like a kola bear and cried very hard. There was no way we could pacify her. Then, my brother took out the cake he bought for her. Jaimie saw the picture of Elmo on the cake and she got excited. She insisted in blowing candles on the cake (she learnt it from Maisy... =_=). To make the birthday girl happy, we lighted the candles at least 6 times for her to blow. I took out the Pooh Bear agar agar, Jaimie insisted she wanted to blow candles on Pooh Bear again. Well, I think I have used up the entire box of matchsticks just to light up candles!!

We didnt cater any food for this little celebration. My mom cooked fried noodles, we bought some dim sum from Hoe Kee, some chicken wings from Hup Lee and some ang ku kweys from May's House of Soon Kwey. Err... I wanted to get their soon kwey actually but it was not available today at the stall.

Jaimie's aunt bought her a cute little balloon pig which she could pull along and bring miss piggy for a stroll. Her grandaunt and great grand aunt bought her some toys and clothes. The little princess's mood was much better after blowing the 2 candles until she was satisfied. She ate a little bit of cake, 2 fishballs and that's all. She hasn't been eating much for the past few days. Before the guests left, Jae went into the room with her daddy to watch Maisy (again). When our guests wanted to come into her room, she screamed at them and fiercely protected her territory. That was quite unlike her as she was usually quite generous in inviting people to go into her room.

She slept very early this evening. I think it must be the medicine and antibiotics which made her lethargic and drowsy.

Hmmm... what a birthday celebration.

Dearest baby, mommy and daddy hope that you can get well soon! We miss the little energetic and happy monster! Wishing you a happy birthday! We love you lots.
