Miss Clumsy's Little Accidents
Then we heard a loud "plop" and then Jaimie's cry. We rushed over to see what happened and we saw Jaimie lying on the floor face down. Apparently she was getting down from our bed but she missed a step on the little stool which we put beside the bed. Her lips were bleeding quite badly but after the bleeding has stopped, we were relieved to see that it wasn't a very deep cut.
Just when she had stopped crying and playing on her own again, and when Clement was still reading up on the GPS while I was visiting the BayB Supplies Forum, we heard another loud "plop" and Jaimie's cry again.
"Oh no!" I rushed over to see what happed and what I saw made me bursted out laughing. Jaimie fell into her toy basket! I had no idea what she was trying to do and how did she fall into such an awkard position. In her tears and cries, she asked me to help her out of the basket but I ran to reach for my camera first. How can I not capture a Kodak moment like this?

Activity Sticker Books for Jaimie
This was quite a good activity book because the activities were very structured. However, only about 1/4 of the book used stickers. For the rest of the activities, it was suggested that the parent cut out the shapes and let the child uses glue to stick them on. It was 脱裤放屁to me. It was also something I did not enjoy doing. I hated craft work. After doing a few more cut and paste, I decided to keep the book until Jaimie can use scissors and glue on her own.
When I spoke with HappyPig about the usage of scissors today, she mentioned that it was a good training for fine motor skills and good training of the little muscles on the hand. I told her I was more concerned about Jaimie hurting herself (I know there are paper scissors which only cut paper and nothing else) and my curtains. When is it a good time to let the little one start handling scissors? I will need to find out more information.
Before I am able to gather more information, I will stick with sticker books. I borrowed HappyPig's Popular discount card and bought most of the activity sticker books on the shelves suitable for young children like Jaimie. The prices of the books vary from $3.90- $12. I spent $88+ on this stash. Jaimie and I completed one book ($5.90!) within half an hour this evening. It is quite expensive if we view it in dollars and cents but it is worth the money because Jaimie was having so much fun sticking on the stickers on the relevant boxes. Anyhow,the time spent doing the activities with her is better than leaving her to watch television on her own while I do my own stuff.

Perhaps she has had one giggle too many. Now mommy is having a hard time cajoling the little one to sleep. Oh-oh.....

Hot Wheels @ East Coast on Children's Day
Wolfgirl took a bicycle with the child seat the at back. I took the one with the child seat in front. It was easier for the cyclist to have the child at the back but I thought it was more fun for Jae to sit in front so I took up the challenge. It was indeed a big challenge because I had to spread my knees on either sides of the child seat when I cycle because the child seat was in the way. Jaimie's hair brushed against my face and it was so ticklish. Hmmm... time to cut her hair? Ok ok... i am just kidding. Relax.
Clement joined us in another bicycle.
I enjoyed the ride with Jaimie very much. It was another personal bonding time with her on the bicycle. I talked to her about the things that was happening in the park (couldn't use my hand to point as I needed both to balance the bicycle, lah), brought her attention to the aeroplanes which flew across the sky, sang songs, told her about traffic rules, let her ring the bicycle bell etc. When I was tired and going slow, or when I was cycling upslope, Jaimie actually said “妈妈,加油加油!”to encourage me!
We headed for lunch at JK Don. The food was average but the company was great. I mean Wolfgirl and RR. And thank you Auntie Angela for the lunch treat and the Children's Day present! So nice of you!
The attendant was right. Jaimie was tired.
