When Ern is under Poh Poh's care, she would normally walk out from the room with her pacifier still in her mouth and her small pillow whenever she woke up from her noon/evening nap. Then, she will climb up to the sofa or sit on the floor with the same face shown - stone!
If the TV is on, she would stare with this 'stone' look.
Sometimes, she lie down but her eyes still glue with the tv.
For sure, we will expect to see this. She loves to smell the corner of the pillow!!! *yiak*
It is now a routine for us to tie 2 ponytails on Ern because:
- Weather is hot and she sweats a lot - She keeps rubbing her eyes when the wind blow her hair (side fringe) - Sometimes, she eats her own hair (wind again) during feeding (LOL) - She looks more girlish with the 2 ponytail
It is a challenge to tie an active moving toddler’s hair. At times, we ended up tieing the 2 ponytails upside down. LOL
Hence, to keep her sit still, we will need to give her something (to occupy her) and tie her hair within the shortest time.
I did a simple 6X6 mini album for Ern's Hadyai Trip. Thought it's something meaningful to scrap it. Maybe in our next trip home, can show to Yeh Yeh. :-)

Some of the layouts I did:
I used the leftover from the Christmas wrappers to decorate the page. Thanks to my sifu of sharing the tips.
Late wishes to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Slacked in updating Ern's blog as we were out of town (without taking Ern along) to attend a friend's wedding.
On Christmas Eve, Ern was 'almost down' with flu as she was sneezing the whole day and towards the evening, we started to see mucus flowing down. We got her to drink lots of water and eat more fruits (more than her regular serving) , hoping that this would help her to fight with the virus.
Before we put her to bed, fed her flu medicine and rubbed Vick's Baby Rub on her chest, back and feet. I have heard many mummies share the tips of rubbing Vicks on the feet and put up a socks. I thought no harm trying since the Baby Rubs smells so good! In fact, Ern liked it so much.
Obviously, we didn't celebrate any Christmas countdown because the flu medicine knocked Ern out so fast! Round the clock, Daddy checked and monitored on her temperature.
Luckily on the Christmas day morning itself, Ern woke up with no sign of fever and cough. Mucus stopped running down although her nose was still blocked. We were thankful to see her in the usual active mode(running around the house) and normal appetite.
With that, we decided to bring Ern to QB Mall for a short walk since Daddy wanted to check things out at Harvey. Ern was so delighted when we let her walk on her own because she gets to: Hugged the balloons (at the entrance)
Climbing up and down on the sofa
Not to miss the rattan chair
Lastly, she was so thrilled when she spotted the 'moving' paper camera display.
