What I want for Christmas is. . .

not my big front tooth but...

Clarabelle : 4 story books

and

Abella : Princess dress Princess babie doll c/w wardrobe, hangers and a few changing suits

I am curious about Clara's Christmas wish, so I ask
"Clarabelle, why do you want 4 story books but not 2, 3 or 5 instead?"


And my little sweetie reply
"Because 1 is for daddy, 1 for mommy, 1 for Abella and 1 for me!"

Ahh... such a dear... melted my heart... If she is just next to me, for sure I will "squeeze" her. But having such lovely Clara, I start to wonder about Abella. Not that she is not as lovely as Clara (I always remind myself not to compare the two girls but believe they each have their own strength) but I am really curious to know her thinking.

me: "Abella, you see Clarabelle had wish for 4 story books and she actually had thoughts for us and wanted to share her Xmas... but you only wish for 1 princess dress for yourself, what about daddy, mommy? Clarabelle?"

Abe: " Hm... ... No mommy... I will promise to share the princess barbie doll. We can share to play. .."

me: "Huh? Play"

Abe: "Yah, mommy, the princess barbie doll have a wardrobe with many hangers and dresses to change. We will take turns to change the princess cloth. I will share with Clarabelle you know.."

Now I got it. She actually meant those barbie doll with interchangeable dresses. But not a princess party dress for herself.

Hm... She is still incline to play then dolling up. Earlier I still thought her puberty has advance that she has start to fancy those girlish things.

But on second thoughts, at least Clara has wish for books but Abe, toys. It can be quite worrying as lately her academic seem not in par with Clara. Of course I didnt forget they may have different strength, jus that Im worry I didnt not do enough to motivate her... Look like I have to think of other method that can inspire her.

One cough medicine works on one but may not works on another.
(Most of the time when they have cough, doctor will have to prescribe different medicine as he explained they both may have cough but they need different treatment as their physique are different.)

P/S : Girl please dont think I am bias when only post Clarabelle photo. Abella, can u remember you went bonker when we were at the santa station, running up & down all the props, and I had a hard time taking yours picture with my hp. All your pixes were blurred as you refuse to stay still!

Reset for Year 2009

Time flies... it's the school year end concert again.

Recalling last year the girls did their Chicky Dance, this year their performance had equally touched me, emotionally... :)

It's only a year passed but I see the vast different in their self-achievement.

For this year concert, they have been updating me bits & pieces regarding their rehersal.

The comments teacher had made, the difficulties they encountered, who they partner with, etc.

They had been reminding and checking on each other too, on how they should place their limbs and body correctly inorder to look nice and synchronize.

I can see they took pride in their concert performance. They set expectation for themself.

I can see my girls growing... taking responsibility. I am so proud of them...

Saying that, I reflected myself... I seem to be stagnant, staying put...

Their year end was an excellent wrapped. They will move on to another milestone next year...

Me? I have to admit no notable improvement...

Well, new year is coming, I' ll buck up again.

For you, my Girls.. Cheer for me, yah :)

My 2009 new year resolution ; )
