Sheryl will stay over at her Po po (my mum’s) house every twice a week. The usual evening routine will be to wait for her Gong Gong (who she affectionately call GONG!) to come back from work and bring her to the Hougang Mall. Last evening my dad was not free so my mum and myself bought her to the Hougang Mall. There was lots of chinese decor on sale and she was happily clapping away when she saw the colorful lights. My mum told me she will do this everytime they bring her to the Hougang Mall. Anyway, this time round, there were a few children gathering around to see some toy tiger that was jumping around on the ground. Sheryl was a tad apprehensive at first and kept a distance away from the toy. She soon warmed up after seeing so many children around. Sheryl was standing quite a distance away when the bigger children start squatting down and playing with the toy tiger. Seeing this, Sheryl too walked over and squatted next to a small boy. She was pointing and ‘talking’ to the little boy in her own baby language. I was standing a distance looking at her when I realised that my little baby is no longer a baby anymore! She now knows how to socialise and joined in a group! Seeing her little self squatting there with the group of children (I wished I had a pic to show) filled my eyes with tears of joy. Ok I know you must that think I am exaggerating but really, I can’t believe my little baby is almost 15month old already. I love you baby!
May you grow up healthy and happy always!
