updates
The girls are back in KL now (since early January) and are back to their daily routine. Will be starting Harvynna in kindergarten sometime in April (when she turns 4) - most probably it will be at Beaconhouse (if they take her in) or Words Bangsar. Gosh, that will be a real rush routine every morning, getting her ready, dropping Rowena off at the babysitters and Harvynna to her kindy. But I think she is getting bored silly making her really cranky and whiny, which in turn drives me up the wall too!! In the meantime, she can read (somewhat) and do basic counting. She can write her own name and other words, if prompted but her hands are not so steady and the writing still looks a little wriggly.
Rowena, on the other hand has turned 21 months today. She is really chatty and such a handful. She is showing signs of her Taurus sign. Bringing her to malls is really tough as she insists on her way, and folds her arms, sitting on the floor with a firm 'No'. She tries to pull of the price tags on the items in the shop and I have to quietly pick up the tag and item and put it back, hoping nobody will notice.
She can put 2 words together, but is quite lazy at pronouncing whole words e.g.
lollipop becomes pop
slippers becomes pers
butterfly becomes fly
Even for songs, she only sings the last 2 words of everyline.
She is very vain that after she puts on her clothes, she will turn round and say 'wahhhh' and go show her daddy 'look daddy - wah'!
Harvynna and Rowena can really fight now with each pulling each others hair, pinching each other, grabbing each others things. cant imagine what it would be like once Rowena starts talking in full sentences. But Harvynna can be a good babysitter too as she looks after Rowena while I do something around the house. They can both play quite independantly for a while, which is good
