Enjoying "Shrek" for the 2 millionth time, with Daddy

At 25 months, Nadine is already showing herself to be quite a neat freak. She likes to pack all the remote controls into the drawer, and cannot stand to see stray pieces of laundry hanging on or next to the laundry basket. All laundry must be inside the basket. She'd even pick Daddy's socks from the "sock pail" and put them into the laundry basket. She's quite good at keeping her dvds too. She'll even try and slot the dvd into the same slot. But, with toys, she needs to be asked a few times before she'll keep them. Dunno what's the difference between toys and other things which she'll pack so readily.

Nadine also amazes Daddy and Mummy by what she can do with Daddy's iPad and iPhone. She knows exactly which icon to press to find her favorite games, and she even knows how to turn the camera into mirror mode so that she can look at herself.

Chinese New Year 2011

As a 2-year-old, Nadine was able to enjoy Chinese New Year much better this year than last year. Whether she understood or appreciated it better or not is debatable.

This year, she could say "Gongxi Facai" and "Happy New Year" and knew there's money in the ang paus. She'd promptly bring the ang paus to Mummy, and ask Mummy to keep. There were also moments that she'd want to take the money out of the ang paus. Wonder if she'll want to keep the ang paus herself next year!
